Perhaps he's using HTTPS Everywhere.

It's unlikely that it will hit someone, but it can, so you don't do it. Remember rule 4: know your target and what's beyond it. You don't pull the trigger unless you know where eac…

I actually prefer the old Thinklight. I often use it as a reading light for notes while I'm working on my computer.

Or Blackwater, for that matter?

They are supposed to double check--see Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc. . When a person who is not a public figure is defamed, the plaintiff only has to show that the defendant was negl…
