She is not deterred. “Whatever a person wants to do with their life,” she says, “is their right. They need the right to make that decision.”
I look forward to the diagnosis of a short-term

xian parasites.
Also, liberals, gangsters, etc.
Should be fun. Suicide by culture.

Speaking at the South By Southwest conference in Austin, Texas, Poole said: “Anonymity is authenticity. It allows you to share in a completely unvarnished, raw way.” He said that Zuckerberg was “totally wrong” to equate online anonymity with cowardice.
In a 2009 interview with David Kirkpatrick, for his book, The Facebook Effect, Zuckerberg said: "Having two identities for yourself is an example of a lack of integrity."
Poole said that online anonymity gave people, particularly young people, the room to make mistakes. He said: “To fail in an environment where you’re being identified by your real name is costly.”
He also argued that the true identity of users was not so important to 4chan because “we value content over creator”.

It is us with the brains and curiosity, not you with the guns, jails, suits, titles, and dollars. And the truth is, if all of you disappeared tomorrow, the world would continue on fine.

Sony's failure to notify customers immediately about the hacker attack that shut down the PlayStation Network last week is "troubling" and the firm should provide more information about it, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) told the tech giant in a letter Tuesday.

Sony network still down AND the info has been lifted from the servers.
Dear Greedy Motherfuckers SONY,
Congratulations! You are now receiving the attention of Anonymous. Your recent legal actions against fellow internet citizens, GeoHot and Graf_Chokolo have been deemed an unforgivable offense against free speech and internet freedom, primary sources of free lulz (and you know how we feel about lulz.)
You have abused the judicial system in an attempt to censor information about how your products work. You have victimized your own customers merely for possessing and sharing information, and continue to target those who seek this information. In doing so you have violated the privacy of thousands of innocent people who only sought the free distribution of information. Your suppression of this information is motivated by corporate greed and the desire for complete control over the actions of individuals who purchase and use your products, at least when those actions threaten to undermine the corrupt stranglehold you seek to maintain over copywrong, oops, “copyright”.
Your corrupt business practices are indicative of a corporate philosophy that would deny consumers the right to use products they have paid for, and rightfully own, in the manner of their choosing. Perhaps you should alert your customers to the fact that they are apparently only renting your products? In light of this assault on both rights and free expression, Anonymous, the notoriously handsome rulers of the internet, would like to inform you that you have only been “renting” your web domains. Having trodden upon Anonymous’ rights, you must now be trodden on.
If you disagree with the disciplinary actions against your private parts domains, then we trust you can also understand our motivations for these actions. You own your domains. You paid for them with your own money. Now Anonymous is attacking your private property because we disagree with your actions. And that seems, dare we say it, “wrong.” Sound familiar?
Let Anonymous teach you a few important lessons that your mother forgot:
1. Don’t do it to someone else if you don’t want it to be done to you.
2. Information is free.
3. We own this. Forever.
As for the “judges” and complicit legal entities who have enabled these cowards: You are no better than SONY itself in our eyes and remain guilty of undermining the well-being of the populace and subverting your judicial mandate.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not Forgive.
We do not Forget.
Expect us.
...
Maybe geohot can help them.

Word-slinging warrior Christopher Hitchens joins the Congressional Assassination Caucus as an adjunct member, with a Slate piece urging the United States to, wait for it, "take out" Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi.
HItchens thus adds his voice to that of senators John McCain, Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham in calling, some more explicitly than others, for the U.S. to assassinate Gadhafi.

"President Obama had a town hall meeting at Facebook's headquarters last week and said that he wanted to encourage females and minorities to pursue STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). However, Pastabagel writes that the need for American students to study STEM is one of the tired refrains in modern American politics and that plenty of people already study science, but they don't work in science. 'MIT grads are more likely to end up in the financial industry, where quants and traders are very well compensated, than in the semiconductor industry where the spectre of outsourcing to India and Asia will hang over their heads for their entire career.' Philip Greenspun adds that science can be fun, but considered as a career, science suffers by comparison to the professions and the business world. 'The average scientist that I encounter expresses bitterness about (a) low pay, (b) not getting enough credit or references to his or her work, (c) not knowing where the next job is coming from, (d) not having enough money or job security to get married and/or have children,' writes Greenspun. 'Pursuing science as a career seems so irrational that one wonders why any young American would do it.'"

Software Engineers will recognize the "tree of life" as a "source code tree" where the "source code" is the genetic heriditary material (e.g., genes). The common concept of "tree" as a branched acyclic graph is the relevent concept.
(Albeit, horizontal gene exchange confuses this.)
Every single organism (alive or extinct) has an ancestral path back to the ancestral replicator. The (mostly useful, aka adaptive at a certain time and place) accumulation of copying errors along that path constitutes an individual's (and species') evolutionary history. In a software tree, the modifications are typically deliberate and intentional, instead of random and filtered by the environment as seen in natural (or artificial) selection.
The point is, to a software engineer used to trees full of branches, revisions, dead-ends and improvements, the "tree of life" is not so much an abstract metaphor as an instance of useful code being maintained and improved.

Thanks to France's ignoring of the right to free expression,
as evidenced by its burkha-ban, the US has decided to bomb and then occupy France. This action is conducted with UN approval and is
conducted for the benefit of the French People, long oppressed under
the Napoleonic Sarkozy regime. Those who resist the regime change
will be charged and treated as Collaborators.

Questioned at a public debate about the whistleblowing organisation's own transparency, Assange told an audience of 700 people, many of them supporters: "We are directly supported on a week-to-week basis by you. You vote with your wallets every week if you believe that our work is worthwhile or not. If you believe we have erred, you do not support us. If you believe we need to be protected in our work, you keep us strong.
"That dynamic feedback, I say, is more responsive than a government that is elected after sourcing money from big business every four years."
"the only way we can know whether information is legitimately kept secret is when it is revealed".
"What gives you the right to decide what should be known or not? Governments are elected. You, Mr Assange are not."
Which is why he's legit
Murray also challenged the WikiLeaks founder over an account in a book by Guardian writers David Leigh and Luke Harding, in which the authors quote him suggesting that if informants were to be killed following publication of the leaks, they "had it coming to them".

Sorry, but am highly amused to see classic wordsmithing games still current here.
Some of us know what we do, the rest of you have difficulties with the concepts. May be trying to glorify selves, or methods, or schools, not sure.
Leave the article alone. Let it stay.
Programming since 80, C since 84.
Stop walking on eggshells. Some are just coders, some are Architects like John Galt. Get over it. Individual variation drives evolution, baby.
From a scholarly perspective, merely preserving the cultural differences in the definitions of terms is more valuable than your eventual boring (and likely biassed) concensus.
But, have a nice day.

Because their primary training is usually technical rather than managerial, lead programmers traditionally see themselves as part of the technical staff of a company rather than as part of management. This cultural identification can be valuable in relating to programmers who tend to not take direction from someone perceived as lacking in technical skills.

If you want to understand better why so many states—from New York to Wisconsin to California—are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, consider this depressing statistic: Today in America there are nearly twice as many people working for the government (22.5 million) than in all of manufacturing (11.5 million). This is an almost exact reversal of the situation in 1960, when there were 15 million workers in manufacturing and 8.7 million collecting a paycheck from the government.
