Just because you trust Microsoft the company, doesn't mean that one of their webservers hasn't been hacked and had an exploit installled by a third party.
Especially if you consider that MS web admins are probably using ie, and so may have had their work computers exploited.

I believe the athlete in this situation because everything that comes out of the drone operator's mouth is being proven to be either false or purposefully misleading. It turns out that he wasn't even operating the drone at the time - he had given someone else a go at the controls. From The Age
Mr Abrams told Fairfax he held a licence to fly, but would not say whether his company had one.
It's understood Mr Abrams has a fixed-wing pilot licence, but not the type that allows him or his company to operate quadcopter drones for commercial purposes.
Photographs show the drone involved in Sunday's incident was a quadcopter.
The Geraldton Triathlon Club said Mr Abrams' company was not paid a fee to take footage using the drone on Sunday.
Instead it filmed in return for having ads placed on event promotional material, the club said.
Whether the drones were filming for commercial purposes will be important to CASA's investigation, as different regulations apply to commercial and recreational operators.
Mr Abrams said he was in charge at the time of the incident and that another person had their hands on the controller.
He would not name who was flying it, nor say whether they had a licence to fly.
"I am licensed and I was there with the pilot," Mr Abrams told Fairfax.
Asked repeatedly if the pilot was licensed, Mr Abrams refused to answer and became defensive.
He is full of it. He's lying about being having the correct license for that class of vehicle, and he is refusing to even say who was flying the drone at the time.
Then he goes and blames hackers as an out... So, why do you automatically believe the drone operator?
He's basing his claim on the drone footage showing it crash to the ground. That doesn't mean she didn't get hit: Depending on how fast the drone was going, the shrapnel could have been pretty nasty - particularly pieces from the propeller.
None of that gives him any evidence or indication to support his claim that his drone was hacked. He's completely plucked that excuse out of thin air to avoid personal responsibility for his actions.
If you had ever been to Geraldton, you would know that it is a small country town on the edge of nowhere, and that the idea that there are some uber-hackers floating around a local triathlon hacking into drones is ridiculous.

This is correct. According to the drone operator: "She looks over her shoulder and gets frightened, falling to the ground and bumping her head, but the drone didn't actually strike her"
But according to the triathlete: "I have lacerations on my head from the drone and the ambulance crew took a piece of propeller from my head"
I reckon the drone operator is full of shit and just making up whatever comes to mind. In the same breath he claims that the drone didn't hit her, that she fell on her own, and that anyway the drone was hacked so it isn't his fault. Typical blame everyone but himself personality disorder.
Yes, because shooting a 43 year old man and his wife is totally an appropriate response if one of them sends texts during a movie.
I mean, since he was retired, the shooter would've paid around $10 for the privilege of being in that cinema. So he's entitled to shoot anyone who slightly annoys him during that time. Especially considering it was a Mark Wahlberg movie.
That was sarcasm. But this isn't: You are an idiot.
Healthcare IT's actual problem is audit and compliance, oversight and regulation and how it slows adoption of useful technologies.
Exactly - in the biotech field I've heard it referred to as the 17-year problem, because that's the amount of time it can take to get FDA approval for any new tech.
Try to get people to fund or work on your product when it can take up to 20 years to start getting a return on your investment.
Road tax per kilometer driven. By having a tracking device in every car. This has already been discussed in Dutch parliament, and so far has been rejected, but it probably won't be forever; I know people who are actually in favor of such draconian surveillance.
It would only be discussed in Dutch parliament, as the Netherlands is very flat and has no mountains or tunnels.
This. A couple of years ago I plugged a defective DVD drive into an alienware notebook. It smoked the DVD drive, then blew up the entire USB subsystem of the notebook.
Needless to say, I don't recommend alienware to anyone anymore.
Electric motors typically have way more torque than internal combustion engines.
If I recall correctly, Priuses (Prii?) have their electric motors limited below 30 kph because otherwise the fast acceleration will break the drive train.
When I read news like this, my lousy programming job that pays 80k a years, seems like a total bullshit, compared to this.
If you feel this way, you should realize that it's never too late to go back to university, get a PhD and join the research effort in some capacity. You'll likely find that you won't earn as much as an academic than if you had stuck to a career in programming, but your work will be more interesting and fulfilling.
Enteroviruses have been connected to type 1 diabetes in various studies. The current study evaluates the association between specific enterovirus subtypes and type 1 diabetes by measuring type-specific antibodies against the group B coxsackieviruses (CBV) which has been linked to diabetes in previous surveys. Altogether 249 children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes and 249 control children matched according to sampling time, gender, age and country were recruited in Finland, Sweden, England, France and Greece during the years 2001-2005 (mean age 9 years; 55 % boys). Antibodies against CBV1 were more frequent among diabetic children than in control children (OR=1.7, 95%CI=1.0-2.9) while other CBV types did not differ between the groups. CBV1-associated risk was not related to HLA genotype, age or gender. Finnish children had lower frequency of CBV antibodies than children in other countries. The results support previous studies suggesting an association between group B coxsackieviruses and type 1 diabetes, highlighting the possible role of CBV1 as a diabetogenic virus type.

No one has ever uploaded a movie to The Pirate Bay. That is not how torrents work.
TFA correctly states what the defendant did, so why is the summary for Slashdot, the supposed "news for nerds" site, dumbed down?

...do any other, ahem, organs become more spherical? Because that could be a deal breaker.
How so? I thought the general consensus was that girth is always preferable to length.
The only thing I can think of that is more pure profitable than telephone service is telephone company text messages.
Profitable is an understatement - telcos are making up to 90 000% profit on text messages,

Season 4 of Weeds aired in 2008. FTFA, the first drug tunnel was discovered by police in 1990.
So I don't think the cartels are the copycats here...
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Shark attacks are rare. Another interesting statistic is that you are more likely to be bitten by a New Yorker than a shark.

Just plug something like this into your tablet.

What's the point of 64 bit on a device that has less than 4 GB Ram?
Dammit! My first chance at yo dawg joke, and I completely missed it.
It's a ship. It ships itself.

Agreed, it was a crappy Tom Cruise vehicle that I very much regret having watched.
