@Groovymarlin: I didn't catch it until I read your comment. Now this is so much funnier!

@highfloydelity: That was my thought. Does he think Giz is extorting him? (That seems like the implication. Otherwise why mention it.) Or did the Giz article just coincide with a vague PR threat from an unverified source?

@Uh...Clem: That is pretty interesting. USGS mass death link.

Are there more in the US just because we report these things more? None shown in Africa or China for example.

@a_of: Exactly, what is the cost benefit of a -50ppm change and how are they verifying this change is helping anything?

@SportBilly: No one call the police when I use my handy pocket knife to pry the edges of the card reader and keypad on every ATM I visit from now on. And don't mention the electrical tape I'm placing over every camera lens or hole that may be hiding a pin camera.

@Unseelie23: I think you've got it. Most of the documents aren't classified (or I suspect that's what you are saying ... I don't really know), but if some of them are classified, then it is illegal to help disseminate them.

@robcapazzi: No, I believe the NYT is subject to the same laws Apple is. Just because it is illegal doesn't mean someone won't choose to do it though. With freedom comes great responsibility ... or something like that.

@dblegend: Simple, Apple is a US company, so they must follow US laws. If is is illegal for them to help disseminate classified docs then it doesn't matter what country they help disseminate them too, it is still illegal.

Releasing classified information is against the (US) law. Just because it is already out in the public sphere doesn't mean it isn't still classified and still against the (US) law to release it.

@truthtellah: Do we know if this balloon was an intended attack of any kind or just a lets get a closer look flyover? Poor man's satellite imagery?

@ninj4d: I had this issue a few days ago and it fixed itself with some waiting. I thought the servers may just take some time to realize the change in password to the random one. My suggestion, wait 30-60 min and try the same generated pw again.

This may be a silly question, but does

@sassafras_: I have, perhaps I did not make that clear in my post and thanks for pointing that out. But that is all the more reason why I'd like images so we can take a look for our selves.

@CommodoreRake: I can see misinterpreting the 'e' and 's', just one little line could change them, or even 'E' and 'S' could look similar with sloppy painting +aging.

@TD99: Nice call, I noticed the R(zero)FL, but thanks for the link.

@CoH: Okay, things are now fixed on my end. Here's the trick.

I apparently have two accounts associated with the same email. One is a Star-ed account (CoH) and the other is not (no idea why I have two, the other isn't even approved). My cookies have me logged into my CoH account and I'm hesitant to logout. I've tried to re-set my password (on CoH) and it keeps giving me the…

What does kettled mean? As in: "Police being kettled by students." and "Kettled Students." ?

@Lostin Jersey: What if your opponent picks a corner first? Or what if they get to go first? Damn, is that why the O map is so much harder?
