Maybe I should take a bit more time to answer. And, maybe, the term prosecution is stronger than necessary in this context.
However. What happens here, and that's also true for the Sony hacking over the past years, is that those big companies neglect their IT teams. Big time. IT is not a profession anymore, IT is a disposable tool. While sitting in the middle of decision makers and sales, IT engineering and development - in these companies - is relegated to some utilities, like haulage. No much effort is put into providing the best management and means to IT - as long as it roughly works, nobody cares. The top management neglects to a disgusting level what makes skills, the necessary smart & clever of IT. In short, our profession is in danger.
So, some companies being repeatedly hacked, year after year, via some basic tricks that even most PHP programmers know, does show how deep our profession is neglected. And, unfortunately, nobody in the judicial system is able to assess the perverted effect of IT incompetence. Nobody is gonna raise a finger and point to an unfair treatment.
Basically these companies, and especially their top management, should be liable for such negligence, disrespect and brazen contempt for the profession intelligence.
Yeah guy who forgets to lock his door or even is careless to never lock hiis door should be also prosecuted when his hows id burgled.
We are not talking about locking a door, we're talking about implementing basic IT security. Locking your door is not a job. Implementing security is. When a web site fails the basic SQL injection test, the first thing a hacker looks at, there is clearly a problem at all steps of the site development.
"The hackers often gained initial entry through an SQL injection attack" (TFA) SQL injection? Shouldn't the "victims" be prosecuted also, for poor IT management?
Thanks that's indeed informative. Amazing nobody thought this information should be in TFS. Reading the summary, the obvious question was: what? a Russian citizen is extradited to the US? From Russia??
And this is what makes another big difference between a computer and a man, a computer would never make such an obvious mistake, even at level 1.0. And it's a relief: even at that top level, chess players do have emotions, still.
Comparing OSM with Google Maps, OSM did progress a lot, compared to a couple of years ago. I find more readability in Google maps, but that's maybe only a matter of taste.
Mars atmosphere being much thinner than Earth's, a not-so-big asteroid - which would be destroyed on Earth by the thick atmosphere - may cause such plumes on Mars.
Nope. You're not gonna get away with this so easily. 1) not so many babies 2) usually change happens in a dedicated room 3) the smell lasts for a couple minutes 4) the smell is no smoke and it doesn't make you sick 5) we need babies 6) we don't need smokers
It's a question of probabilities, and that includes a lot of factors. Smoking increases p ( illness ), and certainly considerably. On the other hand, many other factors that lower the p should be considered, like physical activities, rural living, etc... and maybe the most important ones, especially when becoming a senior: the desire to live fully, love,... in other words, loving to live.
That's amazing how some developed countries don't care much about tobacco, medical cost and deaths linked to it. Take Japan for instance, where people smoke almost anywhere, like a 3rd world country. The law is still lenient in this regard.
...I'd have to install it anyway. The two other apps will just have to be removed manually. That shouldn't take long. And someone will probably release a tool to get rid of that. The irony is that many companies fight to get their [crappy] software on MS Windows (anti-viruses and other suckware), and now MS has to operate the same move on a rival phone OS...

No.

I think you owe me an apology.
You must be new here.

How close are we / you from a human-reasoning grade computer?

Why isn't this headline, "Game Theory Called Into Question for Failing to Predict Observed Examples of Cooperation?"
/. would cough having such a long title to digest.
Probably living in a forest, breathing fresh air, eating natural food and drinking source water is less carcinogenic?
No tattoo at all in the first place.
Some people are worrying about doubling the LHC power.
Don't complain. Resolution is at least 8 x 8.
Still pretty far away
Yeah. Let's hope when it gets closer, the pictures will look like what we got from Voyager-[12]. That was 35 years ago. Man, we were good at the time.
Nope. You're not gonna get away with this so easily. 1) not so many babies 2) usually change happens in a dedicated room 3) the smell lasts for a couple minutes 4) the smell is no smoke and it doesn't make you sick 5) we need babies 6) we don't need smokers
And something else. Smoking stinks. That's maybe not a problem for the smoker. But that's a problem for everyone around.
...there are much less active nuclear power plants.
Why should you have to fight (and beat it bloody with a stick) to remove apps? Seriously, this preloaded and unremovable crapware is a menace.
I'd be interested to know where you get that the apps are non-removable?

Didn't hear about VESA since the XXth century!
Jesus Fucking Christ
Again.. Cut the guy some slack already!
You'd know it if you were older than 14.
quite the opposite...
