My first use of Back Orifice was when a friend sent me an ICQ message, "Hey I want to hack my sister's computer, can you help me with Back Orifice."
Knowing full well the idiot probably installed the server on his own computer instead of the client... I put BO on a throw-away computer, pointed it at his computer... and hit the shutdown button. Boom.
Got to love the old days when instant messaging clients showed the ip address.
Since the adpocolypse, I block all ads on youtube. Any channel that I care about already got demonitized, so I pay them directly with Patreon or buying shit from them.
It doesn't solve the problem, it makes it someone else's problem. The people selling out may or may not be getting rich, but they will at least stop losing money.
Why ClearChannel keeps buying up space in a dying market? Who knows. I am sure someone thought that once they hit monopoly status they could just rake in the cash. I guess they forgot that people could do something crazy like... not listen.
It gets better (or worse). Advertisers only pay for the on-air ads, since most radio ads are local ones. When listening online, almost every single ad is for their music festival or the streaming service you are already listening to.
The music festival is hilarious. Who the fuck wants to go to a show with both Ozzy Osborne and Katy Perry? What is their target demographic?
ClearChannel is one of the reasons people don't want to listen to terrestrial radio anymore. They have a near monopoly in so many regions, and instantly make radio bland and corporate. I'm a bit surprised their attempts at payola with their awards and festivals haven't saved them.
A couple million bribe to the lawyers of the class action suit, vouchers for 20% discount to the ones affected by the leak. Heck, the company might MAKE money on the deal.
As long as there are no repercussions at all for leaking data, there will be no incentive for securing data.
Storing unhashed passwords in a database means that there will be a major leak, guaranteed. That should be just as illegal as intentionally giving customer details away for money. There needs to be criminal penalties not just civil ones for this kind of crap.

Was "double bullshit" a djo reference?
Huge fan.
Ok now I know you are trolling.
But if not, I want whatever drugs you are on.
Because it is a TV show.

I think that is the plan. Youtube wants you to only view a small subset of corporate advertiser friendly channels.

No, Xi, images and reports of those things are banned by the Great Firewall.
But you know that, of course. Really, you guys have a lot of catching up to do to reach Russia's level of shitposting.
Netcraft confirms: BSD is dying.
Why was Japan putting "Made in China" on things? :)
Here is how we banish you. "Tiananmen Square" "Tank Man"
There. Now you can't see this entire thread anymore.
Or any ad that is clickbait. "You wont believe this one simple trick..."
Except that the purpose of ads is clickbait, hmm.
Once the pendulum swings, Ivan takes up the other side to stoke them.

Idiocy is bipartisan.

I always love those apologists "see, the myths were right all along!" rationalizations.
At least he wasn't a cunt that was too afraid to log in before trolling.
its like Pittsburgh but with strong winds
What the fuck? It isn't Chicago, but Pittsburgh already has some strong winds. Wellington must be crazy windy.
Clickbait sells.
Yeah, whatever ad network I see all the time only ever suggests items I already bought on Amazon or BHPhoto.
"Would you like 3 more Olympus cameras?" No, not really, I am happy with the one I got.
