Ignoring the moral implications of cheating, I think the fact Ashleymadison.com charged an extra fee for the 'full delete' feature, which did nothing, is the real problem here.
Well, also the fact people actually trusted Ashleymadison to honour something they couldn't possibly verify:D
This, of course, makes good food for thought when other sites promise to treat your private data carefully. And even moreso if they charge you for that privilege.
You should read "So you've been publicly shamed" by Jon Ronson. It's about this phenomenon where people are shamed publicly on-line. Sometimes for something as relatively harmless as a tasteless joke.
The consequences of the shaming are real, people lose jobs and have trouble finding new ones. And now there are companies that help repair this on-line reputation damage.
The worrying part is how this mob justice means the perpetrator has no chance to learn from their mistakes. One slip-up, which just happened to "go viral", and their life is destroyed. Over a bad joke. You could commit an actual crime with less consequences.
Just like the good old times. Post angers people. Read TFA and all those new details put it in a different light (he also later got 'unarrested'). And you get an even greater sense that you're still not getting the full story.
Many complain/. ain't what it used to be. But this is the classic/. type of content we're used to.
There's a reason why posts like these get the most replies.
Bonus points for misspelling 'extracting' as 'abstracting'. English ain't even my first language, but these words aren't even pronounced the same way.
This may prove an excellent incentive for those websites to stop using such dangerous technologies.
I've had flash on "ask to activate" by default for a while now, and it wants to activate on almost every fucking website I visit. I don't see any flash elements on those pages. It's probably used solely for advertising by most sites.
But yeah, youtube don't need it anymore. You can still watch your cat vids.

Probably a result of ashleymadison going after lowest bidder contracts when trying to get their security sorted. You get what you pay for.

Agreed. Making poaching illegal or punishable just makes the animal products rarer and more expensive, but doesn't stop the problem.
If I have to exchange it for other currencies, doesn't that negate the whole point of bitcoin?
Looking at the karma moderation history of my first comment, it does seem that way.
I think I may install Win 10 in a VM sometime soon and give this a go. Or does this method require direct GPU access?
If I can make backups of my digital movie purchases now, I may actually buy something!
This is such a useful too it's a shame it's so hidden and so few know of it.
I'm assuming the Win 10 screen recorder gets better frame rates with games and such.
You have some proof? Share it with us, please! Hilarious if true, considering the effort that went into the DRM - and how easily it's defeated.
It's like spectator sports! Except these are games the viewers play themselves too.
Dollars are not accepted by my supermarket :)
Can I exchange bitcoin for euros?
I get a 404
Bitcoin is a cool thing in theory, but when can I exchange it for money that shops actually accept, so I can do my groceries with it?
Sorry man, relax. Like I said, English ain't my first language. I've been practising for 20 years. Looks like I'm still not there yet.

My national broadcasters used Silverlight. This angered many people because of obvious reasons.
Max schadenfreude of course when MS pulled the plug on Silverlight
Modded troll for asking a question. :|
Relevant and important question too.

We can hope.
I can't even drive :D
It's never been a problem for me, except for about twice a year when I would like to return a favour or move something large.
I live in the Netherlands where there is excellent public transport.
Well they both seem to have lots of facial hair, hard to tell them apart
The "cloud" is as much of a new thing as "web 2.0" was.
It's just a new name for something old.
In this case, it just means "someone else's computer".
While all eyes were on Greece, TTIP implementation has been moved forward another step.
You know who he is!
When you were in primary school, everyone had an uncle who worked for this man.
Been reading Cryptonomicon? :p
The US territory depends on a single undersea fiber optic connection with Guam
There's the problem. No redundancy at all. How were they planning to take things down for maintenance? You need redundancy!
