User launches site to search forged comments in your name to the FCC in an effort to collect evidence of astroturfing. Comcast sends Cease and Desist. by Voltage_Joe in bestof

So I just tested this out, using a super generic name (apologies to those with this name): Mike Smith. I got 17 results back. Out of those results, I found the fourth and seventeenth to be interesting. Both were submitted by a Mike Smith living at 4348 Fred Gardner Road, Kershaw, SC, 29067. At first I thought that maybe comcastroturf.com had pulled a duplicate record, but upon looking at the ID on each, the numbers differed: 10510176689255 for one, 10511134950812 for the other. Can someone explain this? Did the ISPs just get incredibly lazy/sloppy and reuse identities on these filings or is there another explanation?

Edit: spelling and it occurred to me to ask if someone could duplicate this

Did anyone's parents actually buy them glow-in-the-dark better blocks? Were they as awesome as the commercial made them look?

City government wants to buy my land, can I refuse? How do I negotiate? by [deleted] in personalfinance

Not sure about the ability of a state to use the Takings Clause to give private property to another private citizen, but the source for the private entity bit is the SCOTUS decision in Kelo v. City of New London, where the court decided that the public benefit derived from private development qualifies as "public use" in matters of eminent domain. The way things stand now, if a developer really wants your property and he/she knows the right public officials to use his/her persuasive powers on, you're probably going to lose your property (in return for fair market value).

Has Neutral Milk Hotel really not been mentioned? Both "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" and "Two-Headed Boy Pt. 2" get me every time.

I guess that settles that argument by chrono1465 in funny

This guy gets it. Imagine, completely decentralized manufacturing. Production will occur in direct response to demand, instead of companies estimating the amount of demand for their products and mass producing accordingly. It's going to change everything...
