Engraving is the only (mostly) unremovable way to mark things, and I have found in the past that the simple phrase "Reward If Found" and a phone number have gotten me and several friends some of their items back. Either that, or "Stolen From (insert Name)". That way, even if the thief doesn't think better of his acquisition, he'll at least be reminded he's a morally corrupt shitbag every time he picks it up.
It's just a stupid as the US response taking out and replacing every part of every computer and network that Snowden accessed.
I mean, really - the CAT-5? Come on. Just a stupid excuse for work and so that they can claim "Oh he did millions of $$ damages, see we had to replace everything including a new coat of paint on the data center".
It is to lose; all the gov't needs to do is recite those magic words "National Security", and they can do pretty much whatever they want. Who can stop them?
It does make me feel a bit safer. It tells me the web site publisher cares enough to manage the ad content, and to me at least that strikes me as having less of a chance for someone to slip a turd in the punchbowl. The ads were probably reviewed and/or vetted by the site that's carrying them, and even might be, *gasp* relevant! Most of the ads I see carried by the hosting site are not obnoxious and since they are even almost (usually) relevant, I rarely need to block them.
Which is good, because it does make the ads a bit harder to block since they come from the same domain as the main web content. At least I know if I do get some kind of malware, etc. the origin is better known and the blame can be cast in the right direction.
From what I read back in the day, he's probably a quivering puddle of jello having his paranoid delusions of being persecuted by trolls take over his psyche completely.
Eventually, enough of those "leeches" are going to say "Fuck you and your obnoxious content" when they can get it at a dozen other sites, and you go out of business. Well done, sir!
I absolutely hate that shit, you go to a site and it renders, then goes dark because some fucking scrip takes over and tries to force some card on me or some shit. Fuck them. Big time. I see that shit, I'm outta there. Period.
Yeah, except your Cisco-and-NSA-compromised router with the "if pktaddress=nsa.gov then allow" rule hidden and permanently on will just pass it and not log or tell you anything... As a plus, your Microsoft-and-NSA-compromised systools won't show the traffic, either.
This is obviously nonsense to you and me, but now the NSA thinks this is a viable vector! Imagine all the billions of tax $$ they will now waste researching and trying to crack it!
This is what we need - more crackpot theories of infection/subterfuge vectors to keep 'em busy.
Yes, they do. They use hardware acquisition modules (A/D) then use windows apps and touchscreens for the UI so response time is not important. These things cost $20,000.00 or so, give or take $10K.
You remember the whole Mayan calendar thing, and some other cosmic alignment that occurred sometime around then as well. Much to everyone's disappointment, the world did not end either of those times...

Yeah, but they have no Bitcoins left to hire them with!
I like belalaikas best!

I think he's just homeless and faking it.

"Hey, I'm just... waiting... yeah, for the next IPhone, that's it!"
"Oh, Okay..."

Absolute tripe.

Yeah, but at least it won't be starring fucking Ricky Gervais!
Yay! I've been APK'ed!!
Thanks, glad to see you're not dead. ;)

Yeah! I miss him.

But like the Goatse guy, I do miss him...

I wish people who actively choose to comment on a thing would take a moment to acquire the most basic familiarity with that thing.
You MUST be new here...

Oh, I don't know, who calculates an extra four hours to get through the security theater at the airports?
Twelve years ago, THAT would have been a joke.
Employee-Employer Loyalty (and vice versa) DIED the same day that "Personnel" became "Human Resources".
Go ahead, you can quote me...

Theeeeyyyyyyre Baaaaaaack! At least around Chicago area. Twinkie the Kid rides again!
But they are scaled down! They are about 2/3 of their former size. Probably to make the caloric claims sound less outrageous, but they taste the same.
I also am getting tired of the zombie crap, the world didn't end in 2012 - get over it, already...
