Under most configurations and browsers I've used, typing an address in the Google search box takes you directly to that address, as if you had typed it into the address box.
Mod parent up! Perhaps the only case where the identity fraud does not apply is when the victim is told to be the only link found between a certain Mr. Smith (dead in a plane accident) and his bank account. OTOH, the victim may play as a legitimate partner for the scammer and in doing so not commiting identity fraud, but it would still be a fiscal fraud.
Exactly. Built-in car stereos have odd shapes that make them difficult to replace; most play only CDs and the "extra" of playing MP3 CDs (a pain in the... to make) or an AUX input costs as much as a Pimp My Ride stereo system.
What would be more accurate: "a child suffering from autism" or "a child whose family suffers from his/her autism"? "An autistic child" is the most accurate of all, just as "african american" isn't anywhere as accurate as "dark skinned person" or "black person". And I rather don't mention the "special abilities" fad.
It's Newspeak all along, sacrificing clarity and straighforwardness.
That's perhaps the worst vulnerability of OSS. Once it gets to same maintream users that struggle to understand the verbose wizards and assistants of Windows, how long will it be before "bad guys" offer to help them just to make the user sudo a trojan?
I think that's the point. The people most likely to try and read your email are those closest to you. Those that would know for sure the answers to such things as your mother's maiden name, the brand of your first car or the place you grew up in.
The maiden name isn't even a secure option in latin countries where the last names are kept and added upon marriage.
It's pretty probable that most people who now realize this, wrote a sincere answer many years ago whilst creating their account, thus leaving the key on the lock.
Yahoo is perhaps the worst case I've seen of password reset vulnerability as it doesn't let users get to the reset question they once wrote, not even to peek at it and try to remember what it was!

On the plus side, we've very few snakes left.

This is Slashdot. Your mistake was to read TFA ITFP.

Wino is a recursive acronym for "Wino Is Not Observable"
And get infected by a worm?
Nothing to do with the sequel to "Snakes on a Plane": "Worms on a Ship"?
Cue in Lost in Space Theme...
What about scratches? A pellet in the cleaning process and your screen/glasses go astray.
Of MORe MONey for Intel, perhaps.

Rejected. This is Slashdot. We only accept car analogies here.
Sicily is shaped like a pyramid ... like the one in the dollar bill .... COINCIDENCE?
Most vinyls I've seen bear the DDA symbol, tough. They're not "the real stuff".

Too bad AOL stopped giving away media before flash cards replaced CDs.
Perhaps Mr. O. B. Wanken O. B. can.

I find your lack of spam disturbing ...
Same for me, in all my email accounts the amount of spam has tripled or so.

At least it's not "Verified by VisTa"
It's like getting upset about shoplifting, hiring an uzi carrying security guard for every aisle and then wondering why your sales go down.
Or hiring Kubiac to guard your video store, for that matter.
