Slashdot Mirror

If only the Fed. were only as scary as Cardinal Biggles; "[he] shall be charged on three counts; heresy by thought, heresy by word, heresy by deed and, Uh, FOUR Counts.."

According to the article at Paid content;
"The actress ... says that the credit-card interception is the only way the company could have learned her real age."

If the unknown actress is actually Junie Hoang then that statement may be false. Some web sites state her date of birth 10 July 16, 1978 but here are a list of web sites that set her date of birth at July 16, 1971;
http://watchmymoviesonline.com/?/actors/name/Junie_Hoang/
http://sharetv.org/person/junie_hoang
http://people.famouswhy.com/junie_hoang/
http://www.flixster.com/actor/junie-hoang
http://www.crystalacids.com/database/person/1947/junie-hoang/

Here is a really interesting thing that I found during my search. At this url under blogs I found this as the summary.

"Junie Hoang, born on July 16, 1971 in Saigon, Vietnam, is a Vietnamese actress. Filmography (source: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0387470/ ) 2011 Social Vigilantes (announced) Mika 2011 Gingerdead Man 3-D: Saturday Night Cleaver (filming) ... -"

Note the DoB.
When I clicked the link the the DoB was July 16, 1978. Why the difference? It looks like at some point the blog stated the DoB was 1971.

It may be possible that all these sites got their data from iMDB but that is doubtful. For example the crystalacids.com, famouswhy.com and watchmy movies.com sits have incomplete listings of her and do not reference iMDB. If any of these sites show the 1978 date, there may be some "data cleanup" going on.

There are alternate ways to get an actor's date of birth.

I went to the two websites listed as examples in TFA and I couldn't find the iframe or javascript that they claim is checking on your browsing history.

Can anyone pastebin the relevant snippets of html or javascript links from http://www.flixster.com/ or http://charter.net/?

It's sad to see someone who once mobilized communities and got people to take responsibility for their own future (Operation PUSH) revert to nothing but finger-pointing and blame.

That, and he kind of looks like a Zando Zan.

Let me guess, they found it in the transmitter compartment?

i found a loophole! the constitution only prohibits "cruel and unusual punishment." therefore, if you call it a prize/reward instead of a punishment, then you can make it as cruel and unusual as you want! right?

A similar bill to protect you from the HDS, which should not be trusted with your laptop for more than 1 second.

The page in question is formatted to resemble a login gateway page of the various providers (think Microsoft Passport and the like) using the domain part of your email address to decide which provider login to display. Even though I consider myself quite knowledgeable when it comes to security related issues and have done security consulting for various companies, I *might* have fallen for this since it admittedly lowered my suspicions. I doubt Joe Sixpack or even many above-average users would have questioned the purpose of this form.

Worth noting is their elaborate privacy policy and the cute picture of a monkey in their terms of service. Also, the footnote "Flixster does not store this information in any way" seems to have been added after the screen shots in TFA were taken and I could not find any information on how they connect to the email services (i.e. via a cryptographically safe link or plain text via a Win98 proxy server in Nigeria)
