@lqdswrds: Excellent reference...

The only thing this is going to stop is the use of CD-Rs and DVD-Rs. Thumb drives have been banned in SIPR and NIPR for a while now, and for good reason.

@Black Knight Rebel: This makes the most sense of any guess I've seen so far.

"For years my husband, and I tried to find a way to decorate for the holidays without increasing our carbon footprint."

@Trixen: Someone hasn't watched the Discovery channel and is grossly out of touch with the Earth and how nature works...

@emy1:

@Metro Charts. VP of Vice: Any party would...

@Khebhekh: If any political group had to go through the process of publically disavowing each and every person who said anything that diverged from the thinking of the group, you'd have two things:

@Lite: an adventurer is me!: You'll find a very large majority of the population (to include Giz commenters and writers) makes up their minds and opinions about things they have very little information on.

@Ko0lHaNDLuKe: I believe the guy who said that also had brown hair, therefore I will no longer be voting for guys with brown hair if those are the kinds of things brown-haired people say.

@blyan-reloaded: Scientists like to assume that the limits of their understanding must consitute the limits of reality. It's the token problem of the scientific faith.

@vinod1978: You can call it outdated all you want, but it's federal law, and there is no other federal law in place to protect information vital to national defense. You remove that law without replacing it with something better, and Assange could post online Top Secret calssified documents which could be directly…

@vinod1978: Just because classified information is leaked, it does not remove the classification. This is national security 101 stuff. Once something is leaked, it doesn't magically become public domain. It has to be officially declassified by the classifying authority or higher in order to it to no longer be…

@vinod1978: You need to read US Code Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 37, Sections 793, 794, and 798.

@Enginseer: Yes, but they square it away quickly, usually. I'm refutting those who feel that a private company doesn't have the rigth to refuse service, as though they are legally obligated to provide their service to everyone, like their service is a fundamental right we all possess.

@Apostropartheid: Yes, you're right. But I'm not talking about what Giz has reported. I'm talking about people coming to what they feel are certain conclusions about things they have very little information about, if they have any good information at all.

@TheUltra: I'm amazed you can arrive at a near-certain conclusion about something as serious as rape with as little information as you have.

@vinod1978: the original government leak was illegal, distributing that information is not illegal

@orthorim: So you believe that Amazon, Paypal, and Visa must transfer your money to whoever you want, whenever you want, and for whatever reason you, their company be damned? The fact of the matter is they simply don't have to do anything. They can quit business altogether if they want. You are not entitled to…

@vinod1978: What's so obvious about it. You don't want them to restrict donations to him, and they do, so it must be that they are being forced? There's no way they would resort to a different course of action than you expect without government coersion? You are seeing conspiracy in mundane details. The…
