Let's have some fun, otherwise this is a so "Not news" item it should be posted on Idle (the lest redundundundant title should have been: Watchdog "Not Ready"). So...
They have a law, if I remember correctly, that punishes anyone who finds a philosopher's stone; apparently, there was quite a scare a few centuries ago that the alchemists would actually find one,
You actually can find them. And I reckon they'd be banned in UK, but maybe not in Amsterdam.
I haven't RTFA (yet), but one problem sprang into my mind: assume that a group of people make the false claim of them being neighbours. Assume someone will contest the fact...
The question is: without "real world checks" (e.g. one is too far away to actually do it), who are to be trusted: the contesters or the claimants?
There's nothing that makes Instagram a natural monopoly : at least with facebook itself, the vast userbase it has makes it a de-facto monopoly.
Like others suggested... how do you expect FB to keep its "de-facto monopoly" if it lets others challenge it? (even if on niches... after all FB launched itself in a niche!).
Picking one extreme example and trying to pass it off as the norm is a fallacious way to try to justify an argument.
Buddy, wipe that foam around you mouth and listen...
1. You asked me
if you tell me you can pick a "winning stock" by looking at the company's books, why aren't you a billionaire yet?
and I answered to you that I did not even try and that's why I'm not a billionaire. Would I have tried, I maybe could give you other answers In any case, if I would try, I would include in my decisions information outside my perception on the perception of other players.
2, You line of argumentation seemed to imply that is impossible for anyone to pick winning stocks based on the "book value". Thus I gave you a counter-example of somebody that can. In no case I said that "everybody can become billionaires by using the book value"... why, I wouldn't know, see point 1. Therefore, either it was a misunderstanding from my side (in regards with my assumption on your point of view) or you are building a quite tall straw man
I'm lacking the time to continue the discussion... if so you like, you may consider that you won the debate.
On March 9, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee (BCBS) was fined the maximum $1.5 million for 57 unencrypted computer hard drives that were stolen from a leased storage facility in 2009. BCBS has since encrypted all of its hard drives, representing 885TB of data. BCBS said it spent more than 5,000 man-hours on the encryption effort, which cost the company $6 million.
Say they used new HHD-s at $100 for a 1TB HDD -> HDD cost=$88,500. F*** it... let's be generous and say all the equipment amounts for $1M.
The rest should be labour-cost, isn't it? Which means $1000/h... Seems to be a good trade to be in.
The ultimate responsible organization for administration of Tricare is the U.S. Department of Defense Military Health System, which organized the Tricare Management Activity (TMA)
In this case, what you suggested amounts to "government should punish itself" - something not very common for the US govt, wouldn't you say?
but without the perception of "cool, trendy, fashionable" Apple has
That ship sailed long ago, the most common smartphone is the iphone, the most common tablet is the ipad...apple are the new microsoft, the defacto choice but with a bit more lockdown. Not saying they're bad or anything but they aren't "cool, trendy or fashionable" anymore, they are the average.
Even worse situation for MS in a "me too" approach.
That is: the HTC reaction is based on the ones perception on the perception of the others - it is tolerable for low levels of "second hand perceptors" but... when the level of them is high, the risk of "computerized market panic" increases dramatically.
So, you mean that there is great oportunity for profit with anti-panicky bots?
Theoretically yes... the small detail: only if you have the money to buy everything when everybody else is selling (hint: Lehman Brothers didn't)

Obviously, not seriously enough in the face of the non-ending quest for superior returns and mind-blowing take home pay.

This commentary on this article will undoubtedly be similar to that of a troll festival. Ooops, *looks above post*, too late.

Is racism part of Southern US Culture?

i hope theres a really, really good reason why the need to update the software at all
Well, zero-day exploits.. and Wikileaks... and anonymous not forgiving or forgetting... and Duqu/Flame/Mahdi...

The didn't get girlfriends either... so stay tuned, they'll try again.

Until I googled, I could have bet that having FTC and swindle in the same phrase was an intended pun... imagine my surprise when I saw it isn't!

Worthless, ill-designed, junk.
Nooooo!?! Next thing you are going to tell me is that the hackers disregard RFC3514 during attacks???

'cause I haven't had any time to do it, I decided there are more important things in my life.
Others seem to do it quite well.
It usually takes three people to give me three different wrong answers.
That's grossly inefficient... in some of the places I worked, I only needed a single person (my manager) to get 3 different wrong answers.

Unless the various companies that lose the data are punished, nothing will change.

You don't need to buy everything. You just need to buy some of it, and wait for people to realize the price is wrong.
I guess some are still waiting for people to realize the prices after GFC are wrong (are they?)
