Sorry, but no. "Young people" (since we're a monolithic group) brought Democrats control of the presidency, the Senate, and the House in 2008. What did the Democrats do with the power to pass any law they want? They gave us a half-ass healthcare law that didn't even touch a public option and only puts band-aids on the…

I'm not sure where you're located, but in my experience with the Silicon Valley tech industry, being gay isn't really an issue. There's plenty of gay programmers and engineers, but they're mostly men and White or Asian. There continues to be shamefully few women and Black/Latino/Native engineers, and the bigotry that…

Why don't people ever publish names with these things?? If you're going to Internet-shame someone, go all out! Inquiring minds want to know…

Obviously this fool is a hypocrite, but that shouldn't negate the fact that the CDC *has* been cavalier about Ebola as its related to nurses. I'll be the first to say most Americans have no reason to worry about Ebola, but that's not so true when it comes to healthcare workers, especially nurses.

"These problems are human. It just happens that the West got a good stab at spreading their brand of stupid."

The thing is, we've always known its highly contagious, the issue is how its contagious: it only transmits through bodily fluids, not through the air. So, if you touch someone who has it, or touch where they vomited then touch your face, etc., you have a decent chance of getting infected.

In theory, DMCA takedown would still apply here (as an authorized and/or illegal use of her property):

There's also the many everyday women (and some men) who've had their photos stolen by hackers (almost all men) just for titillation, no revenge required. Hackers trade, give away, and even sell access to women's accounts and personal computers online. Its sickening, and despite the feds being happy to DMCA takedown…

Absolutely. Its tragic that big entertainment companies seem to have no problem taking down pirated material, including getting domains seized by the FBI, while individual people have zero recourse for removing their stolen intimate photos.

Then you are still complicit in a sex crime.

Okay, there's a risk with performing the laparoscopic surgery, but there's also risk with performing the more invasive, non-laparoscopic surgeries. It would be nice if Jez would hire a science writer who would go more in depth on these things instead of using the typical media scare tactics that make people distrust…

By default, the iPhone uploads all images taken to "the cloud", where they'll stay even if they're deleted from the phone. Apple will give you access to someone's account by just answering their security questions. Since they force you to choose from a list of pre-defined questions, its likely the answers to most…

Most people have their emails hooked up to all their other accounts – banks, work, school, etc. You can easily look through someone's email for bank emails, go to those banks' webpages, reset the account password, receive the email in already-hacked email account, the bingo you're in the bank account. For this reason,…

By your logic, 500sf is "child abuse", so you ABSOLUTELY MUST spent $1.2 million on an apartment. Yet at the same time, people making $9/hr can afford to cut back. Can you not do math, or are you just an egotistical bigot?

That doesn't explain the graph. It actually contradicts the graph.

Please write a more scientific article on BMI/obesity/metabolism! I'd love to read it.

The context is that he was unarmed and had his hands in the air. The context is that police murder a black person every 28 hours in the US. The context is hundreds of years of dehumanization of black people: lynchings, slavery, you name it. The context is the rights that we are supposedly afforded by the Constitution,…

As the sole web developer on a medium-traffic website, it would be impossible for me to deal with spam without using IP address banning. Its imperfect, since IP addresses can change pretty easily, especially on WiFi, but its necessary. It would be pretty simple to allow you all to ban an IP from commenting without…

What kind of info do you need to get? I'm thinking location could probably be sent automatically, and it'd be really helpful in many situations to send a "distress signal" silently.

Why doesn't Jezebel just ban users like this? They totally derail the discussion. Just look how this asshole has taken over the whole comment thread.
