Yahoo tried to fight the government's requests for user information The U.S. government threatened Yahoo with a $250,000-a-day fine in 2008 if the tech company did not comply with requests for user information, according to roughly 1,500 pages of newly released legal documents.

Understanding this issue is one big step towards protecting your online information / privacy.  Have any of you had negative experiences with phishing?

Wed, Jan 4, 2012 9:01 AM EST 911 operator told young mother she could not shoot until man entered her home. Multiple reports of a dozen orcas have whale watchers thrilled in Orange County. Higher gas prices will push the cost of coffee, breakfast items up across U.S.

This is a very interesting situation. I feel bad for that new mother because she had just lost her husband, and then someone tried to break into her house 5 days later.. I think this is a justified shooting as well.

I didn't know wanting to prevent an unwanted child birth made you a slut. Atta boy Limbaugh, keepin the pimp hand strong.

There has to be something wrong with this kid. If you read the story and hear what he said to the court and to the families of the victims he shot, you'll understand. It is scary that someone could be so awful.

People like this don't do well in Prisons. He'll most likely have a very rough life where he's going, especially after what he has said. He'll "get what is coming for him" and I honestly feel no pity, even though I do believe he should be charged as an adult. This is disgusting. I would not have been able to rest easy if I were in that court knowing the guy is in jail after what he had done, let alone what he had said, he deserves way worse than what he got. He obviously took pleasure in killing those innocent students. Good luck in prison, mate, because you are certainly going to need it if you don't want to end up as cold as those concrete walls you'll be surrounded by. Either that or he'll end up as Big Jerry's finger puppet.

The death sentence would be an easy way out for him. Spending your entire life rotting away in jail having your actions hung over your head is a much better punishment in my opinion. Not to mention, killing someone else will not bring your loved ones back or make you feel better, at least it shouldn't anyway. I read a story about a woman's 6 year old daughter who had been kidnapped and murdered,but she did not wish to have the man killed, because she said, "How do I honor Susie and Susie's life and the goodness and sweetness and beauty of who she was? To kill somebody in her name would be an insult to her memory." I'm not saying anyone is wrong, I just think life sentence without parole is a better option.

A Mississippi man has made a brief court appearance on a charge that he made a deadly poison that was sent in letters to President Barack Obama and others.

ATLANTA (Reuters) - An Atlanta man is suing the state of Georgia after his application for a vanity license plate that he said described his sexual orientation was denied.

What if he was just trying to let everyone know that he's a really cheerful guy? The word 'gay' is not an obscenity, and it has more than one meaning. Also, come on Georgia. At try to look like you aren't oppressing people.

Georgia (or some of the people of Georgia), upset me more and more as I read stories like this. There is nothing offensive about using the word "Gay" in the ways that man tried to. He didn't do anything wrong. And, like Mallory said, the word doesn't even have to have the implied meaning everyone instantly assumes. Georgia? Tisk Tisk.

Should Miami be compensated for its 2 years of false accusations by the NCAA

Being intoxicated or aggravated doesn't give anyone the right to use racial terms towards anyone. And, they don't have the right to slap a child, either. I think this man deserves hate mail.

This story is interesting..if he was intoxicated of any sort, that doesn't make it okay to use the language he supposedly did or hit a child. That's why I don't think it should be allowed to have alcoholic beverages on a plane. People take advantage of it, and you never know what could happen..much like what he's being accused. I think he deserves the "hate mail" he's getting!

Is not right to slap a baby,because he/she is just a little baby who doesn't know nothing yet.

I applied to University of Iowa this fall and I wasn't asked about my sexual orientation. None of the questions on the application (or the housing app) asked anything about sexual orientation.

its only a provocative act if they tried to lauch a missle to see how far they could get it to go like they previously did but if its just a sateite it should be ok as lomg as its not used as a weapon or used to hack into other countries mainframes or other stuff

He could have let him have some clothes on...then it wouldn't have been so bad

Oh, excuse me Kevin. I totally forgot the importance of using all of the body's muscles. How can one be a successful Ninja Warrior with out proper dispersment of muscle tone? His dad should treat him like a Spartan warrior and leave him in the mountains. He cannot return till he has the hide of a giant wolf.

I don't think that he should have did made him run through snow at all. With or without clothes on. I see this as torture and there are other ways to stay healthy and keep your immune system strong.

Sometimes it seems when rules are too rigidly enforced, silly situations like this make me wonder, - maybe re-word the rule rather than asking a person to change their name...

I agree with th Grand Island resident Fredda Bartenback,what little kid would think some harmless sign would be a gun?

He uses the sign language sign for hunter, as in a person who goes out and hunts. He turned it into his name sign by crossing his fingers instead of leaving them flat. While I agree that the school over reacted and he shouldn't have to change it, I think the idea of him "Having to change his name," is a little bit of of a loaded statement. His name will still be Hunter if he changes his name sign it will just be expressed differently. Also according to my mom, who works very closely with many deaf people every day, he may choose to change it later in life once he gets older because this name sign was chosen by his parents and he might not like it.

This is horrible, this could kill a lot of people including little kids.

there's a small amount of it so it's not likely to kill after the first sip, all apple seeds have arsenic in them and that's why they always told you not to eat the seeds but when they make apple juice, they throw in the whole apple so that pretty much explains it...i'm glad I don't like appejuice

Thats way to much for gas.

Thats just the way things go sometimes

good thing chevy has the volt now.
