maybe keys from different countries?
I think in germany there is a law, stating that OEM versions can be resold, and thus have to be handled like full version keys.
From the "I'm not saying it's aliens - but IT'S ALIENS" department:
I recently read speculations that Satoshi Nakamoto is actually an alien space probe, sent to destroy our civilisation.
Seriously, you really think governments care about folks having their data leaked? If top govt execs info was leaked, then maybe we would get something real, but right now, all we'll see is a fake investigation with, as usual, no one going to jail or paying fines.
They better do care.
As far as I know, if you know the social security number of someone, you can impersonate them.
If the leak really contains half the SSNs of the country, this could be used to cause quite a lot of trouble to the economy.
How can you even think this is journalism
This is clearly not neutral news. John Oliver presents an opinion about certain situations.
Often a strong and relatable one.
Sure, it's often about things which should be news.
But I see the show itself more as entertainment and critique of conventional news.
He often puts his finger on situations where the news outlets forgot their neutrality.

Wish Janit0r would change phase two so that it instead redirects all outbound requests to a page explaining what is wrong with the device and to contact their ISP. At least for modems/routers this would be much more preferable to just bricking a device and would empower the person to get help and maybe even salvage their device should an update be available. Vigilantes don't hurt the innocent!
You listening Janit0r?
Nice idea. Ideally someone else should host that site.
Slashdot Mirror
The bad news is they used quantum logic for the proof.
So the results may be true or not.
I'll stop laughing when they break some crypto.
Ever think that his friend is the owner of RealDolls?
Hopefully, they are busy figuring out Linux Mint.

Tell that to V'Ger

I think its not the number but the placement of quotes.
More like:
internal "investigation" by board-appointed "special" comittee.

Without economy no elite.
Yeah - this proposal won't make it far.
There is only one world.
And technological advances make it appear smaller and smaller.
Pinpoint this one finger salute, Facebook.
Readers of The Wallstreet Journal are lazy but can afford it.
My guess would be, that the entertainment industry plays a major role in keeping the balance of trade up.

I act like the world is flat when I drive to work. You work at the level of detail required for the task at hand.
Better not park at a slope then.
You probably don't have the time for the whole series but the first few minutes of the first should be enough.
In the first lecture of this series, Prof. Sapolsky asks (among some other questions) who believes in free will.
There seems to be a majority of people raising hands.
He raises a finger and promises that that's gonna change. ;)
Add to this, the fact that you are completely made of atoms. There is no evidence for any secret life-force so far.
True, the final verdict on this is still out. But there are strong hints that we are indeed some kind of automata. ;)
Yes Sir, but the question here was: What if all fails and the valuable piece of equipment has fallen victim to thieves?
And here I suggest, first and foremost, a bottle of tequila to wash away the pain.
And to gather some courage to detonate the thermo-nuclear charge, which was thoughtfully placed in the device, for just such cases.
Oh, and backups and encryption the people here are talking about sound like a wise thing too.
Your joke is old and outdated.
Not here. My AMD is the only thing keeping me warm in the winter. :)
Advertising is not designed to instantly make you buy their shit.
It's more about getting your product name out there and building reputation.
How many products do you buy, not because they are of the best price or quality, but because it is a known brand?
Probably played too much of the old Final Fantasy games.
You know - this moment when you finally get the airship - and the whole world opens up to you :)
Well - in his case the "whole world" part is kinda already done. So why not just put the airship on top.

Actually I would even go a step further, and ban all advertising targeted at children.
..the Internet developed antibodies.
But how should sys-admins implement site-wide file encryption?
I guess I would start with a search for "full disk encryption"
Or with raising the middle finger and telling to encrypt that.
Depends on the day.
...can they cross the road?
In theory but nobody knows how to motivate them to do so.
Though the question of how to motivate is indeed unsolved; Two to three meters of aproach and a kick should deliver acceptable results.
In both cases of live and artificial chicken, I might add.
Who needs motivation when you can have momentum.
