Teacher Gets Stolen Car Back, All Souped Up 135
Police found Amanda Pogany's stolen 1996 Honda in a chop shop and were able to return it to her. While in the custody of the thieves, the car got a few upgrades, including a new V-8 engine, manual transmission, leather interior, tinted windows, and oversize tires. Unfortunately Amanda won't be able to play The Fast and the Furious around the neighborhood with her new souped up car. She doesn't know how to drive a stick.
V8 engine? (Score:2)
If this were true, I would be very interested in seeing it. Swapping a V8 into any Honda would require a ton of custom work.

Nah, not even a turbo. Just a standard VTEC motor with headers and an intake. Definitely fun to drive and decent on gas mileage, but still well under 200 horsepower.

The problem is that anyone who threatens to sue and then doesn't follow through has zero credibility. Posting as an A.C. also starts with a score of zero credibility ... that adds up to Double Zero credibility. The Double Zero ( oo ) looks a lot like the symbol for infinity, so to most people it probably looks like you score $_INFINITE_MINUS_CREDIBILITY. Either that or NaN.

You can't defame someone who is anonymous. You can libel an individual, business, product, group, government, or nation. "Anonymous Coward" is none of those.
Instead of hiding behind the "Anonymous Coward" label (which seems to be rather appropriate, n'est pas?), why not take two seconds and get an account. Suggestion: If you want to have any credibility, don't use some throwaway freemail address, like cowards and spammers and malware writers do.

Libel (or more accurately, defamation - libel and slander are actually different forms of defamation - which you would know if you had a lawyer, but don't let that stop you ... ) has certain requirements, and clone54321's postings don't meet the standard. While the truth is no longer an absolute defense against libel, it's a pretty good one, as is the defense of opinion. "Statements of opinion or pure opinion are not actionable." I th

Sue me! After all you said I was stalking you, so do it.
Yet another example of how deeply in over his head APK is, and doesn’t even know it.
Stalking and harassment are CRIMINAL offenses, not civil ones. This is not a matter of me suing you (you have no money anyway). You don’t sue over criminal matters. You press charges.
If you are convicted, apk, you can go to JAIL.

On a 400 hertz computer. That's some antique you got going there. How's the supply of paper punch tape holding up? Need some more green bar fan-fold for the console?
If you can get a couple of viruses a month to run on a 400 hz computer, that's something we all want to see. Frankly, even the cheapest 4k 8-bit computers from 25-30 years ago ran around 1 mh (or double that with the right POKE command).
But getting "only" one or two viruses a month is nothing to brag about. I got zero this millennium.
So tell us more, "Mr. 400 hz 2 viruses a month club charter member."
BTW - use of a hosts file to avoid malware is deprecated because it's slower than other solutions, and no longer works. Your 2 viruses a month is proof of that. :-p

In one 4-day proceeding, I went head-to-head against the judge AND the government lawyers for 5 minutes before the judge finally saw the light - that I was right, and that the witness had done everything except answer the question.

According to your own argument, you should be encouraging everyone you know to switch from Windows, since linux and bsd are less of a target.
Look, your attempts to pimp your host-based "security solution" aren't working. It didn't work back in 1995 when we started playing around with that sort of stuff, and it doesn't work now. Your own figures prove it. Stupid shill, all you're doing is drawing more attention to the fact that you don
