Ask yourself: what are these security tools capable of doing *besides* stopping viruses?
Exactly. And yet they can give a user a false sense of security, so I dare say "security provided by ISPs" could even be part of the problem.
Have the days of individual security ever begun by the way? People "solely relying on patching and upgrades" were always lulling themselves etc., just not for the reasons suggested by Mr Moroneos: and not necessarily for Windows only (one word: rootkits), although it heroically stands as the most exploited target. Some of the worst threats are still represented by bad password policies -- or no password policies at all -- and vulnerability to social engineering. 15 years ago it was not called that, but there were examples in the wild back then. (What I recall on the fly is ILoveYou, but I'm sure somebody less lazy than me can come out with other examples from 1995-ish.) Some people will click the wrong link, open the wrong messages, etc.: ISPs cannot correct people's behaviour, unless in the horrific ways we can all imagine (see several of the comments here.)
Or is there something in TFA I didn't get? I confess the word "cloud" repeated every other line gave me a hard time understanding what the hell he was talking about.
You are right. The depressing thing in TFA is: "Unlike anti-piracy cases, however, IP tracking is only ever used as supporting, rather than primary, evidence in a criminal prosecution." (This said by a police detective constable.) That is, an IP address is apparently enough to bust you for downloading a song, but not enough to download CP...:/
"some European registration authority tied to Comodo." I won't go as far as to say you should RTFA, but I don't think the first line of the summary is too much to read.
Parent's stupid post means "Today I have created sockpuppet accounts, here and on other sites, with the sole purpose of linking that website somewhere in order to boost 'sites linking to..' numbers on alexa.com".

Don't say that. April Fools Day is when the web reveals its true nature.
...or just remove "?gwh=numbers" from the URL... or at least tha's what mashable.com says.

How do you do it for "select $COLUMN from myTable" or, perhaps more common ".... order by $COLUMN"
You may use the cat views.
...oh wait, you'd need oracle for that :/

Is DNF there?

Yet apparently they say they can.
Right click on any toolbar; read context menu items; click "put my tabs just where they were".
For added lulz, download it multiple times while cycling through public proxies. Try to catch your blinky lights.
Firefox is currently at about 42%, and it's not even its higher share (w3schools browser statistics).
Apple would sue in microseconds.
IE has been dying faster.
That, or the new user is actually Linda.

Surely if they're teenagers, they're 13 or over and allowed to use Facebook? :o)
Oooops...
They estimate 3.6 million users under 12, but Facebook claims to ban more than 5 million a year?
From TFS: "There are people who lie."
Tell the police they are 60-years-olds posing as teenagers.
From GGC: "I was there when he found these samples from their storage"
QED.
And BTW I was just joking.
In other words: Leaving a flask alone for 53 years might give rise to amino-acids.
I assume by "here" you mean in China? Asking this out of curiosity, but it might be useful to know if there is trouble using it currently...
Already seen that on /. more than once and other sources even date it to early 2010. Is this a gritty reboot?
I use multipull links to the same file.
So you can pull files from different locations?
(Sorry. Couldn't resist)
