Wall Street Journal Leaks: Try Your Luck, Leakers!
The Wall Street Journal launches its own version of WikiLeaks, called SafeHouse, soliciting secret documents from would-be leakers.
Gawker discusses both the weak security in its initial launch (which the Journal says it will fix), and some small print you might want to think of before you leak:
unlike Wikileaks, SafeHouse includes a doozy of a caveat in its Terms of Use:
"Except when we have a separately negotiated confidentiality agreement… we reserve the right to disclose any information about you to law enforcement authorities or to a requesting third party, without notice, in order to comply with any applicable laws and/or requests under legal process, to operate our systems properly, to protect the property or rights of Dow Jones or any affiliated companies, and to safeguard the interests of others."

No title?! What is this witchcraft?
What a joke.
But other than that, it's safe to leak secrets there, right?
Considering the same guy that owns Fox news owns WSJ and their connections with government, I'd say no.
Never mind.
This reminds me of when the cops take the mailing list of outstanding warrants and send everyone on it a letter saying they've won a free TV and they just have to show up at city hall to pick it up.
Yeah it does.
You're the most paranoid family I've ever been affiliated with!
It's A Trap?
Yes!
More appropriately named "Unsafe House".
I bet they will get a ton of fun spoofs
I'm going to leak my grocery list to them, but only if I can negotiate a confidentiality agreement first.
WTF? Why don't they just host the site on an fbi.gov subdomain and be done with it?
They just use a redirect.
We are all JournalLeakstas now.
I'm going to leak some posts from Tony and Max, and give them fake information on who I really am, so they can't do anything about it! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
this sort of reminded me of Steve Martin's piece in the New Yorker a while back... "Side-Effects"
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/s.....26555.html
Side Effects
By Steve Martin
DOSAGE: take two tablets every six hours for joint pain.
SIDE EFFECTS: This drug may cause joint pain, nausea, head-ache, or shortness of breath. You may also experience muscle aches, rapid heartbeat, and ringing in the ears. If you feel faint, call your doctor. Do not consume alcohol while taking this pill; likewise, avoid red meat, shellfish, and vegetables. O.K. foods: flounder. Under no circumstances eat yak. Men can expect painful urination while sitting, especially if the penis is caught between the toilet seat and the bowl. Projectile vomiting is common in thirty per cent of users-sorry, fifty per cent. If you undergo disorienting nausea accompanied by migraine and raspy breathing, double the dosage. Leg cramps are to be expected; one knee-buckler per day is normal. Bowel movements may become frequent-in fact, every ten minutes. If bowel movements become greater than twelve per hour, consult your doctor, or any doctor, or just anyone who will speak to you. You may find yourself becoming lost or vague; this would be a good time to write a screenplay. Do not pilot a plane, unless you are among the ten per cent of users who experience "spontaneous test-pilot knowledge." If your hair begins to smell like burning tires, move away from any buildings or populated areas, and apply tincture of iodine to the head until you no longer hear what could be taken for a "countdown." May cause stigmata in Mexicans. If a fungus starts to grow between your eyebrows....
..it actually continues for a while more. You get the idea.
I have no idea what to think of the WSJ 'leaks' effort. It gives me a headache. Sometimes real-life seems too much like the movie Brazil. I love the movie. I hate the real thing.
Brazil is a documentry.
Threadjack: Montgomery County police harassing teenagers to check for gang tattoos.
"Nancy, who asked that her last name not be used for fear of retribution, recalls what happened to her. "An officer, he asked me to raise my shirt to see if I had any tattoos or anything," she says. "I told him no and he had pushed me against the wall I couldn't say anything at the moment 'cause I was only sixteen."
Nancy says officers didn't arrest her but took pictures and she doesn't know where those pictures wound up."
Freedom of Association is an overrated right, anyway.
It's not even association, it's simple expression.
"I think you have an objectionable tattoo. Take off your clothes so I can photograph you."
But interestingly enough, its a surprisingly successful pickup line on the Hollywood club scene....
Some people are okay with that.
Not all tattoos are ugly
Anyone who clicks a link to rectal's tattoo is clinically insane. Or will be driven so after seeing it.
Referrer Views
reason.com 3,244
I was looking. It's like a trainwreck.
oh pish... call me insane... I looked.
Every once in awhile rather (accidentally?) posts something not barf worthy, so I check out her link just to see if she's taking her meds. Apparently not yet.
In this case, they're just Pinocchio tats on a couple of guy crotches. The nose is the penis (flaccid). NSFW, but still boring. They could be actual pics of rather's girfriends' boyfriends.
Rather's boyfriend (when she has one) would have a tat of Porky Pig there, that is if he wasn't too scared to have needles anywhere near his pecker.
The only benefit for rather is that she gets a couple more Referrer Views and she can continue to claim her site is popular and that she's drawing readers/commenters away from H&R.
OK, I'll call you isane,
Referrer Views and she can continue to claim her site is popular and that she's drawing readers/commenters away from H&R.
I'll donate a thousand to Reason if you can prove I ever said your insane comment
Knew a girl who told of her ex having done something like that, but in his case it was a switchblade.
He could have at least given her some Mardi Gras beads.
Shorter disclaimer: "Leak stuff to us. We'll print it, and then maybe turn you in to the cops."
So the WSJ pretty much says it burns to take a leak?
Might wanna get that checked out.
This story bores me.
Anyone else having problems with Firefox 4?
The end.
No, FF4 works great for me.
No, I use Chrome.
FF4 sucks when the wrong flash is installed
disable flash and reinstall it.
Firefox 4 is working great for me. Maybe boredom makes it malfunction?
I did until I uninstalled Ad Block Plus and reinstalled with a newer version.
Thanks. I will consider all but one of the above recommendations/testimonials.
MURDER ON MAY DAY ? The Betrayal of Islam on May 24 th
[The Justification Incident murder on May Day !]
This was not , is not , and will never have been about Osama Bin Laden, this
has been is and will be about the entire forest, it is about resources, global
resources and the need for the American - Israeli Military Industrial
Complex, the [ EMPIRE] to have total and complete control of not only the
Oil reserves from the Arctic Circle [ Russian ] oil, but [Chinese ] oil in the
South China Sea , the building of the nuclear necklace running from
[Foothold Germany] to [ Foothold Okinawa ] . Osama Bin Laden was the
incident for building such a necklace , every Empire has had to create and
implement an incident to justify military force . And, correctly or
incorrectly [ 911 ] was the Wanted Dead or Live justification.
[Pakistan Nest of Nukes ]
Pakistan has Nuclear Weapons , and its head nuclear scientist is anti -
American , Pakistan is located in such a position now that it is surrounded
by its enemies the [ EMPIRE] is on it landside West , India on its North , and
the [ EMPIRE] fleet on its sea side , and what does the [ EMPIRE] want from
Pakistan , the end of the (ISI ) Inter - Service Intelligence Directorate , if you
can 't well than fill it in, and that well is the one of deep of resentment
against the [EMPIRE ] which it has self created , that no amount of aid or
pious diplomatic platitudes will ever fill, within the region or Muslim world ,
creating organizations such as Al Badar , Al - Qaeda , "Fedayeen Al - Islam" ,
Arabic for " Islam commandos " , Chechens fighters , Europeans fighters ,
Hezb- i- Islami, (ISI ) Inter - Service Intelligence Directorate assistance of
these organizations, Lashkar- e - Jhangvi , an extremist group linked to al -
Qaida , Pukhtoon Tribesmen , Quetta Commandos and Taliban militants ,
Saudis fighters , Uzbeks fighters , and another extremist groups , and
nuclear weapons must be removed from Islamic hands, along with any
and all nuclear materials , and nuclear weapons engineering capabilities , as
they represent a present and future danger to the [ EMPIRE ].
[The Betrayal of Islam on May 24 th ]
The day that Benyamin / Binyamin Netanyahu "BiBi Gift from God "
Netanyahu Prime Minister of Israel stands before the [ EMPIRE ] bought and
paid for by Israeli with American Taxpayer Money , the American puppets
of the [ EMPIRE] government which will be a much more important day , a
day that will go down in Islamic history as a day of Infamy, as the Arab
Spring is betrayed by the [ EMPIRE] . The Arab Spring must and will be
nipped in the bud by whatever means, it stands in the way of the ultimate
goal the containment of those nations that control the largest portion of
natural resources that are necessary for the [ EMPIRE] to continue to exist .
This is all about maintaining the Status Quo , this is a time battle as the
[BRICS] Brazil, The Russian Federation , India, The Democratic Peoples
Republic of China , and The Republic of South Africa, have shown another
way, of regional [ Spheres of Parity Influence ] , based upon the [EU ]
European Union model, not linked to Washington, D . C. , or the New York
Stock Exchange , [ IMF] International Monetary Fund , or The World Bank .
The why now was Osama Bin Laden [MURDERED] will be made clear on
[MAY 24 TH ] the day of Arab Spring Infamy and betrayal , the proof will be
in the pudding as [ AIPAC /AZC ] the American Israeli Political Action
Committee /American Zionist Committee , and [ BIBI ] take center stage on
May 24 th . This is not about any acceptance on the part of the [EMPIRE ] or
the tail of the dog the [ EMPIRE] of a Palestinian State but to prepare, for
the blow back the globe created by the [ SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP ] , and its
policy of Democracy for the few and [ Empire] controlled dictators for the
mass , showing the [ EMPIRE] for what it is the Plutocracy of Hypocrisy , the
American - Israeli Military Industrial Complex, the [ EMPIRE] , ending not
only in the burning of [ EMPIRE] flags but destruction of its embassies as
the global community is faced with the very things that have created hated
and anger against it , its total sanctimonious self righteous , as its tail Israeli
wags it , The Empire has stopped the news cycle of once again the [ IDF ]
Israeli Defense Force Commandos, attacking a foreign flotilla inward
bound to the Open Air Concentration Camp of the Gaza Strip , in an
attempt to breach the gauntlet of death the illegal blockade, with supplies
and aid , which the whole world will be watching live on satellite [ TV ]
television , making a deal with Turkey , but could not stop the opening by
Egypt of its boarders with Gaza , but no doubt a second Cast Lead
Operation is in the works . Israeli will expect its dog , to lay down a cone of
silence much as has been done to Bahrain , and Okinawa, while providing
cover in the [ UN ] United Nations Security Council , voting [ NO ] to any
attempts to stop the crushing of any real Palestinian State, by Israel.

[TRIATHLON REPLYS]
We are not pleased with the results of the late election [2/5/2011] Second of May [2011] Twenty-Eleven, for though yes we voted for the NDP [JACK LAYTON], nevertheless the Tories [IMPERIAL ANNEXATIONIST EMPIRE STOOGES] won election and will continue to push [CC] The Canadian Confederationv closer to being fully annexed by the [EMPIRE] Israeli-American Empire though we must also say down with the Bloc Quebecois [THE BLOCK], Quebec Sepratism is an [EMPIRE] Plot.
