The CIA is not a law-enforcement body and would not be involved. The FBI has offices in a number of countries:

First off, that is not what I would deem fair, so bias out of the way if a copyright infringer is legitimately ignorant then they deserve a second chance without repurcussions. Not so with false DMCA claims. It was never fun.

Oh man! I am a musician by trade (I like to treat it like a small business, which is why I read HN) and have performed at Four Courts in Arlington several times - great atmosphere, beer selection, and staff. Who doesn't love a thick Irish accent? In fact I'll be one city over later that night performing in Alexandria around 10pm. How long do these meetups last?

Previous meetups have gone to 9:30 and later, though you can cut out at any time.

If you do make it out to the meetup, I'd love to chat. I used to play the Sunday night open mics at Four Courts back when Brad Pugh hosted them.

The latter.

It's called social engineering, not lying. Semantics make the hacker.

iPod touch, flip video recorder, droid 2 global, linux mint on usb, 1.5 TB drive, and a remote control helicopter... good year

Where ARE the referrals coming from? And why do people view porn after looking at photos of friends?

There are only a limited number of things typical people regularly do online, I'd be willing to bet the list for a large chunk is something like

1. Email 2. Facebook 3. Porn

In which case you have a 1 in 3 chance that porn follows Facebook.

no, 1 in 2 chance. unless you suppose they can go to facebook after going to facebook.

Well you have the permutations,

(email, Facebook, porn)

(email, porn, Facebook)

(porn, email, Facebook)

(Facebook, email, porn)

(Facebook, porn, email)

(porn, Facebook, email)

That is 3! or 6 total possibilities, 2 of which involved porn immediately following Facebook. which is 1 in 3... ...How do you figure 1 in 2?

On the other hand, you've disregarded the possibility of continuing to browse after doing three things (or stopping prior to three things). If browsing is an endless stream, then facebook has to be followed by one of the other two, which is the angle he was working from. Depends how you frame the question and what assumptions you make; it's ill-defined right now.

Edit: On another note, in his place I would have sanitized my own history; a screenshot showing redtube and tube8 in the "visited" style is tacky, to say the least.

I'm sure there's an innocent explanation! Maybe he was performing some "hands-on" research? :-P

Hidden mid-post: Note: for those wondering how these were chosen, I used related links on Alexa to find some big sites

Suuuure :)

Sexy friends maybe?

Then why leave?

I'm a musician. This is precisely what I do.

He just donated 100 million to schools in New Jersey...

But it doesn't predict what you are most likely going to search for...
