Sorry about your friend. I hope she doesn't meet up with any Scientologists, they'd find her an easy target.

She is real, only her name is Rachel Maddow.

Starting with Rachel Maddow. She'd make an awesome press secretary.

I get you! I did the same thing in 2008. Voted for Hillary in the primary. She didn't win the nomination, but at least I had my "say." then I voted for Obama in November because. So now it's Hillary's turn.

That's how they sell more newspapers. ;-) Not so different in the USA or UK.

Well yeah, but how many Russians are reading this article printed in German and London newspapers? Are there any Russians reading Gawker these days?

The information has already been published in Germany and the UK. So jailing American journalists would do nothing, not even to prove a point.

Somehow you missed this.

You have to literally shut the power off for one minute. Rebooting with the power still on (warm reboot) is not enough to wipe out the old IP number. If the power adapter is still glowing then the power hasn't been off long enough - you get them same IP address you had before.

I don’t think they keep records like that. But if they do they only use them to catch the pedophiles. Like if the cops gave them a court order or something. I don’t switch modems, I just shut down every few days and cut the power to my computer and router. If the power is off for one minute, the old IP address is gone…

Here's what I do every few days. Shut off my computer and network adapter, turn off all power (including unplugging), wait a minute, plug back in and restart everything. When I come back online I have a new IP address assigned by Verizon Fios, and I'm back in business. I'm only on the bit torrents occasionally so I…

Hey asshat, not everyone on here is a native English speaker or writer. Several people who are participating in this discussion are using English as a second language. Even so they're keeping up and there's no reason to criticize them. Let's all show a little more patience, OK?

If you look at the Guardian newspaper article, it says more of the wealth is coming from China and Hong Kong than anywhere else. According to them the US wealth involved in this minuscule.

I’ve got a western digital hard drive that’s just under 2 Terabytes, and it’s one the small side. WF makes larger hard drives for businesses, so my guess is somebody swiped (or hacked) a hard drive. This data, as much as it is, could still easily fit on one.

I get it! You’re waiting for somebody to tell you there's no "a" in extrovert, amIright?

If that's true, where exactly did Mitt Romney come from? Just sayin'

Yes this is the Rush Limbaugh crowd. Sort of clueless on the whole philosophy thing. But they know they hate liberals, so that's the only thing that really matters.

I believe a bunch of Republicans would rather not vote in November, because they can’t bring themselves to flip the switch for Trump. Whether that means a 3rd party movement, I don't know. Either way it's going to help the Democrats so let's wait and see.

That, and the fact that Perot didn't really want a running mate. He tried to find somebody who wouldn't show him up and make him look shorter than he already was.

The truth is out there.
