Maybe one day you might get the chance to follow your own advice. Some people exist only to act as examples for others, so be sure to let us know how that goes.
1) Wait and see if they succeed, then create new online and financial accounts and deal with the personal and financial fallout 2) Create new online accounts, transfer all information to new accounts and delete the old ones before they succeed
Should we could keep this up until population-leveling killer flu strains evolve? That would be fun!
Or should we just stop now and deal with our little flu bouts like grown-ups? Nah, that's no fun. We'd miss all the media coverage on TPC - The Pandemic Channel!
- "hackers" would be called "tireless researchers" - finding security flaws would be called "peer-review" - there would be a lot more 14-year-olds leading new scientific advances
and...
- people who put their own self-interests aside to disseminate paywalled scientific research for the betterment of humankind would be labeled "heros," and be awarded posthumous honors
When the current cryotograghic algorithms which secure these cracker-jack prizes become easily crackable by script-kiddies, and with future long-range private drones weilding live HD cams, I see a new form of geocaching game on the horizon.
I'll look forward to watching the reruns on Youtube.
When a/. article on an Infowars article by Alex Jones pointed out a conspiratorial exchange of email which was obtained by Anonymous and received by Alex in an unsolicitated manner, quiet improbably I might add since Alex is more often on the digging end of the dirty-stick, however the email chain indicated the allegedly-respectable rampaging developers had been crowd-sourced organized and fuel and RV-funding provided by a shadowy group known only as The League of America First Inventors Travelling Road Show.
Suspicious, and now relatively out-of-reach of Belizian authorities, and smelling the fresh opportunity to combine 3rd-world booty with spying, adrenaline ran hot in John Macafee's vein (singular intended.) He quickly assembled a crack (*cough*) team of sexually-experienced sluttateous whoring gold-diggers and trained them in special insertion operations (*cough*) and counter-espionage and planted them deep in enemy territory (x-citation needed.)
John's blogging of the tail trail left the media baffled, since he neither exposed himself nor the fem-bot network he controlled, yet left his tantalizing clues dangling in the open. Was the League of America First Inventors a red-flag operation by France to attempt to make a mockery of the good name of the USPTOs first-to-invent constitutional amendment? Or was it a clandestine effort by the Church of Scientology, now that they were being persecuted in Belgium, to reinvent their image as respectable developers wronged by the improbability of the invention of an improbability generator? Was Tom Cruise going to reprise the role of the aging Luke Skywalker in the post-prequel sequel? Or was the Russian team at Lake Vostok somehow involved, determined to obtain pre-cambrian bio-weaponizable pathogens? It is improbable that no-one knew, but there the danglings were.
I have an expandable lapdesk placed on top of my desk, elevating the laptop about a foot, and I sit on a mid-height stool so that I sit-stand all day. It makes a big difference in my legs and back.

2) Animations
3) Swiping
4) Hiding interface controls
5) No menus
6) buttons anywhere all over the screen
7) "sexy" interfaces
Isn't this like saying it's ok to put a webcam in my house in case I do something wrong?
Just wondering where this slippery-slope leads... (shrug)

All those 99-cent apps are a real roadblock. Beats me then.

Up to you.
Guess I'm a 'tard 'cause I can't find the explanation for what the vulnerabilities mean.
But I know what dusty rose on gray means. (It means "Welcome to the 70's.")
To the virulent detractors of my parent post:
a) everything mutates, ergo this argument is moot
b) n the case where vaccines are voluntary, and not administered to the population as a whole, they do promote resistant strains. See http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=vaccine-resistant+strain&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart&sa=X&ei=57YnUeTYNITc8wTl9IDQCg&ved=0CDEQgQMwAA
c) "retarded" is a relative assessment. Compared to what?
Should we could keep this up until population-leveling killer flu strains evolve? That would be fun!
Or should we just stop now and deal with our little flu bouts like grown-ups? Nah, that's no fun. We'd miss all the media coverage on TPC - The Pandemic Channel!
Then charge the mosquitoes a license fee to evolve.
That should stop them.
I hope this app has a more foolproof way of preventing false signals.
I'm canning my coal-powered clothes dryer! And my wood-burning stove!

Ocean explorers recover a remarkably well-preserved, ancient artifact from the deep mud of the ocean floor.
"What the hell is it??"
"I don't really know. It must be newer than the geological data indicate. We have no record of any prior advanced civilizations."

Thanks US Military!
you would have to read it. I guess your idea sucks because he has put up a sign already and you didn't read enough to know it. Bright, you are not.
trolling?
I suppose. I was thinking it more accurately demonstrated the illusion of worth of any web-supplied service. Popularity != true value.
Just wondering why I should care is all.

silly example, kinda brings into question the premise of the article

Look! I have a nice stick for you to chase! Fetch!
Goooood boyyyyyyyy!!
but you're an Anonymous Coward. Dammit.
It should really be renamed the I'M-COVERING-MY-ASS button.
As has been covered on /. before, this button is increasingly being disabled within corporations, and only to good effect.
Meetings are how people who don't know what they are doing suck the productivity out the people who do.
