Mormons believe that the fastest and best improvements to the quality of life of an individual come through conversion to the church. That being said, the LDS church in general does a lot of humanitarian aid and Mormon missionaries in particular spend significant chunks of time engaged in charitable service.

> “If this is done correctly, an organization can get to a person who is having personal issues or problems that if not addressed by a variety of social means may lead that individual to violence, theft or espionage before it even gets to that point,” said a senior Pentagon official, who requested anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the issue publicly.
Looks like there's some senior Pentagon officials who have a peer they can snitch on.
This sort of change would only be necessary if the value of a bitcoin grows significantly making today's dust into tomorrow's crumbs. I don't generally pick up pennies, but I've never ignored a dollar before.
It's non-trivial, but further division of bitcoins is possible to implement and would likely be accepted by the network if it was in the best interest of the currency.
There are many reasons why kids get bullied. There is no unified theory of bullying that explains it all.
For years I thought I was picked on because I was smarter than my peers. Looking back, it seems more likely that I was really kind of a brat about getting better scores on things. There were plenty of smart kids at my school who didn't get picked on.
thanks for the reply. I always have bitcoinity open. (dark theme FTW).
The answer to the question I was trying to ask is https://coinbase.com/network/blocks which enables me to check in on how far behind the future legitimate blockchain is (7 blocks at time of writing).
Whatever happened to "Name your own security question?" You used to be able to do that with many services, but now it seems every service I use forces me to a small set of easily guessed questions.
A security feature that requires me to lie to maintain its security is NOT a good security feature.

What crime? I can't think of one that would apply.

This might be where our opinions diverge. To what rights do you refer? I think your right to privacy may be waived when you consent to have the pictures taken and sent to a third party without a written contract.
That doesn't sound like the whole story, but if it is then their takedown request system needs to be fixed. I guess what I'm saying is I'd be interested in knowing what steps if any occurred between her emailing the website and her suing the website.
I assume the majority of the pictures were taken with consent and trusted to a boyfriend, etc. If you don't like what your boyfriend did with the picture you sent him, file a DMCA request.
If the pictures were not taken with consent, then it's a law enforcement issue. Voyeurism, hacking, etc. are already illegal.
It seems like a DMCA takedown request should probably do the trick. As much as I think what sites such as Texxxan.com are doing is sleazy and classless, I don't think it should be illegal. We have to protect the rights of sites with user-submitted content.
Edit: Also, digitized nude pictures of yourself are basically always a bad idea.
