    Government sponsored phishing is news. Always has been and always will be.

    I see that some troll is in here "shaping" slashdot commentary. Hi Vlad, is that you?

  3. "The year of Linux on the desktop" already happened for somewhere between 40 and 80 million people.

  4. I run Firefox and set it to identify as desktop, not mobile. Then I pretty much use it as normal on my Nexus 4 and 7. Could use a few more pixels, and cut & paste is pure crap, but otherwise fine.

  5. It's not a shame, it means that more people are browsing on Linux today than any other operating system. Possibly more than all others combined.

    > The email used the professor's real address, and according to Volexity's founder Steven Adair, it's likely that the professor got hacked and the attackers then used his account to send out the phishing emails.

    You don't need to access the account to include a SUBJECT header. Whoever wrote that article has no idea about how SMTP works.

    It sounds like you don't either, otherwise you would have said "envelope", not "subject". Sure, it can all be spoofed but it's way easy to just hijack a Windoze box, plus easier to cover tracks (though not foolproof...)

    Please go elsewhere with your Breitbart news. I hear Facebook wants some.

  11. Generally, when a US "agency" fingers a particular group as the source of an attack it is because they possess complete routing information.

    They took off Election day so they wouldn't taint the results.

    Sounds plausible, but the real reason that Russia took election day off is because they were publicly informed that if any Russian cyber malfeasance was detected there would be immediate and effective retaliation.

    So you are the one and only hero who has noticed correspondence between Hillary Clinton and Colin Powell. Apparently the FBI does not have access to the information resources you have, and does not possess your remarkable powers of observation and deduction. We need more people like you. Elsewhere.

  21. The situation is a bit different this time: 1) No slaves 2) California has most of the weapons.

  22. And then the boss wants a .doc file, or the info brought into a spreadsheet.... in five minutes.

    Libreoffice does that perfectly well.

    We live in a Republic, not a democracy. The Electoral College does serve a purpose, one that you disagree with, but it still serves a purpose. The GP outlines it very nicely and in unbiased terms.

    A republic is a type of democracy.

    The election is over, you can take off your brain constricting hat now.
