As anyone who has been following this story from the beginning knows no real hacking took place, no encryption was broken, no keys were stolen. The man used the same password for all his logins, and the "hacker" simply talked Apple support into handing over access to his account, and once one password was known, the hacker could log in everywhere.
What amazes me is how many people posted on the original thread here on slashdot their utter disbelief about how this happened, apparently astounded that Apple would do such a thing. Yet Social Engineering is one of the primary methods of spectacular security breaches.
Still one has to ask, why this guy was chosen as a target. I suspect the attacker had just that little piece of inside knowledge that gave him just enough to nudge the Apple tech over the brink.
He was chosen as a target because he had a 3-character twitter account name that the attacker wanted.
- Look how fucking cold it is in July (in the Northern hemisphere)! Global warming my ass!

- Look how fucking hot it is in July (in the Northern hemisphere)! It's more proof of global warming! - Wait, I thought weather != climate. Are you just picking and choo - LOL you stupid denier you don't even know that the latest liberal IndoctriCast clearly shows a scientific consensus that you're uneducated and I should feel superior to you lololololol!
Never will happen. too hard to detect don't care what anyone says.
This is correct. Not even Wall Street will be able to blow enough smoke up the bubble du joue's ass to justify reliable neutrino emitters and detectors.
It's much cheaper to buy laws that say fatcats in one hemisphere can insert trades into the past based on their distance from the authoritative exchange computers in the other hemisphere.
My phone service, internet service, lease, insurance, etc. etc. have none of those clauses, actually. So maybe fuck off and stop talking about things you know nothing about?
Yeah, that's true. But I would still use Steam on Windows because I like Valve's atittude toward their customers. Valve is the only company which has pledged that they will support migrating the software you've purchased off their platform if they ever go under. I also like the fact that they have vision, which is something that's sorely lacking in the industry. Many other publishers have hack solutions for downloading games, and I choose not to use those because they can't even figure out how to integrate their own games into their service.
EA's origin system is a perfect example. It sucks, and half the time when I start up older EA games and log in it still won't authenticate my DLC. Simply put, it's buggy crap. Valve has a history of putting together competently built software for all of the platforms they support, so I'm pretty confident that they'll do Linux gaming very well even if nobody has succeeded before. This is mainly because Valve knows what "well" looks like.
Sounds like you haven't read the latest ToS for Steam. You waive your right to class action lawsuits and agree to be bound by arbitration. Your chat history, profile, recommendations, screenshots, etc. are all considered "public" and Valve can datamine them and sell whatever they want. Of course, this is all in addition to the shit the old ToS had - all your purchases are considered "subscriptions" and they can terminate your access to your "subscriptions" for any reason at any time and you will get exactly $0 in compensation. Oh, and if you don't agree to the terms you are locked out of all of your purchases.
Fuck Valve. They're never getting another cent from me.
Think of it like 2 fax machines. Machine A tells B to print a dot for a 1 and print nothing for a 0 Then you send a burst of 1111001011101010101010101111010101 From machine A to Machine B and Machine B produces and copy of the picture in Machine A.
Now to think of the Quantum Entanglement You can put Machine A with 1 particle of the pair anywhere in the universe. and Machine B with the other in your living room. And instead of sending a long burst of 1s and 0s you can now tell Machine A to flip from Vertical to Horizontal and Machine B to read the changes. they changes you make to A will occur to B at the same time. So we have a zero latency situation.
Though the speed will be directly related to how fast you can effect changes to the particle in Machine A and how fast Machine B can read those changes. Thinking of it as one bit per change if it takes 15 seconds to effect a change and you get an average speed of 4 bits per minute or 1 byte every 2 minutes in 2048 Minutes you can move 2 MB woot get me get me some of that now.
No, it's not zero latency. You still have to separate the entangled particles.
It's like you and your friend taking pictures of your naked crotches and putting them in 2 sealed envelopes, then traveling to opposite sides of the planet (each with 1 envelope, contents unknown), and then opening them for a furious masturbation session at an agreed upon time. The instant you start stuffing your cunt with a rancid tuber, you know your friend is doing the same and to which picture. The pictures didn't get there any sooner or quicker. You looking at yours collapses the probability space instantly, so you know what you friend is beating off to the instant you know what you're beating off to.
It's really no different than seeing a coin land heads up and then instantly knowing it landed tails down. Even if your coin was 1 lightyear thick and you viewed it from above, the tails down information doesn't travel from the tails side of the coin. The tails down information is implicit in the predetermined definition of the coin when combined with the tails up information.
Metro : US and French name for an underground railway system, aka Underground, Tube, Subway, etc.etc.etc...
Do people in the US say "Metro"? I've always thought that was a European thing. In Chicago it's called the L, in Boston the T and in NYC they call it the subway. Do people in LA actually call their subway "the Metro"?
Metro is a derogatory term in the US. It can refer to yuppie, hipster shits. It can refer to "metrosexuals". It can refer to public transportation that the dirty poors and the yuppie, hipster shits use. It can refer to the yuppie, hipster areas that yuppie, hipster shits like to cram themselves into for image purposes (New York, San Francisco, etc.).
What you posted supports what I said, idiot, "XX" males have the necessary bits of the Y chromosome to make them male. They do not have the entire chromosome as a standalone unit, but they do in fact have the genetic information from it. You're being a semantic little shit with regards to what constitutes "having the Y chromosome". Having it bundled with the X means you still have it, and without it you would not be male.
A human absolutely cannot be male without information from the Y chromosome. It is the defining difference that results in the sexualization of our species. You absolutely cannot "influence" someone to be male without the information from the Y chromosome. A manly female who is infertile is not a male.
Because it isn't bad science. Just like it wasn't bad science that cigarettes cause lung cancer despite what tabacco industry-funded scientists and think tanks wanted us to think.
No testable hypothesis No repeatable experiment No science
Global warming, anthropogenic climat change, or whatever else they want to call it is nothing but shifty statistics applied to old, unreliable, disparate, inconsistent, and intentionally-altered data in a concerted effort to reach a predetermined conclusion in order to support a political agenda (which ultimately is designed to let assholes usurp power and money from other assholes, all at my expense).
Because it's not their field of expertise. Because they should be focusing on what my tax dollars pay them to do - develop methods for space exploration and explore space.
Why are aeronautical engineers, astrophysicists, rocket scientists, etc. involved in perpetuating a political agenda based on bad "science" for an administration that refuses to fund the organization's actual purpose?
Wrong. In those cases the Y is copied onto the X in whole or in part. You absolutely cannot be a male without those bits of the Y chromosome. You may as well call a clean-shaven homoerectus a homosapien.
So women whose bodies naturally pump themselves full of testosterone to the point of deep voice and facial hair, but have at one point in the past produced at least one egg, can compete in womens' divisions, while infertile men and women can't compete at all? Really?
At one point produced an egg? That's ALL women. Women don't produce any eggs after they're born. Their born with their clutch and that's more than enough for a lifetime.
So if a person's body develops as a woman, they're still a man, even though by all objective standards beyond the chromosomes, they're a woman?
Yes. What's the problem with that? That a few athletes won't make the cutoff because they can compete with women but not with men? So what? Plenty of male and female athletes fail to make the cut every day. Having a disorder doesn't earn you a free pass to violate the rules. Being an odd case doesn't give you a right to make the team. I have a genetic disorder that makes me a lazy, floppy meatbag. Do I get to complain and demand to get a spot on the olympic team? If you really want to solve this then just eliminate sex separation in competition.
Slashdot Mirror
Exactly.

Single sign on vs multiple sign on is irrelevant when the attacker gets control of your main PC where all your credentials are.
No one got control over his PC in this case.
And why would anyone store credentials on their PC?

Right - what exactly is the point of this? This seems to be far inferior to standard approach.
None. You have to send the particles away via normal methods anyway.
Think of it like 2 fax machines. Machine A tells B to print a dot for a 1 and print nothing for a 0 Then you send a burst of 1111001011101010101010101111010101 From machine A to Machine B and Machine B produces and copy of the picture in Machine A.

About 1 in 25,000 men have no Y chromosome.
Wrong. In those cases the Y is copied onto the X in whole or in part.
You absolutely cannot be a male without those bits of the Y chromosome. You may as well call a clean-shaven homoerectus a homosapien.
Let's not forget XYZZY
At least we know MXYZPTLK is a Mr.
XX = Woman
XY = Man
YY = Superman
YY = super miscarriage.
While somewhat rare, there are XX men...
Nope.
Nope nope nope nope nope.
Nope.
So women whose bodies naturally pump themselves full of testosterone to the point of deep voice and facial hair, but have at one point in the past produced at least one egg, can compete in womens' divisions, while infertile men and women can't compete at all? Really?

Change the groups to
Female - Those who have birthed a child
Male - Those who have not
Then you'd have men pulling scams and claiming they've birthed a child, with their governments helping them falsify records.
So if a person's body develops as a woman, they're still a man, even though by all objective standards beyond the chromosomes, they're a woman?
Yes. What's the problem with that? That a few athletes won't make the cutoff because they can compete with women but not with men? So what?

If we draw the line at humanity, who would straddle that line?
You're just asking for the trolls here, buddy.
They aren't committing Swiss crimes.
Oh, that's right. We get to tell other nations how to act. Might makes right and all.
So it's legal to sell drugs, guns, and people in Switzerland?
Cry more. Swiss banks knowingly and willingly aid and profit from serious crimes.
