"Microsoft denies any wrongdoing, and says they only halted their appeal to avoid the cost of further litigation."
MS has some deep pockets. Their given reason makes no sense. They could outspend any litigant.
If you read TFA the author is saying that Fisher's reasoning is sophisticated when compared to Anonymous or LulzSec. The author attributes this in part to Fisher doing his thing by himself as opposed to being part of a group, and therefore having concise messaging.
The author is confusing "sophisticated" with "concise."
He was in for 30 years prior. I'm sure he made some friends and still has contact with a few of them on the inside. They want to get the message out, they tell him, he tells us.
I looked into what it would take to run Warcraft on *nix and all reports were that it is a PITA and not a good experience. If someone knows of a setup guide that is going to have sound, graphics, and peripheral support actually work then please drop a link. My next computer will be a Mac because F Microsoft and I want WoW to work.
You mean besides the huge loan from Goldman Sachs... Not sure what you're trying to imply (I think I do), but it sounds like you're saying that people who take out loans from banks are "controlled by Wall Street." By that measure, anyone who has ever taken out a mortgage is "controlled by the banks."
I wander over to thedailywtf.com occasionally and they are a shining example of the right way to do ads. I see their ad banners through my NoScript because their site is on my white list and they serve the ads. I even go so far as to click the ads when I'm on their site because I like to support those that do things the right way!
I'm not sure that Asus is a great choice anymore either. I copied this from a Full Disclosure release: # Exploit Title: ASUS RT-N56U Persistent XSS # Date: 2/2/2016 # Exploit Author: @GraphX # Vendor Homepage: http://asus.com/ # Version: 3.0.0.4.374_239
1 Description: It is possible for an authenticated attacker to bypass input sanitation in the username input field of the Server Center page. An interception proxy is not required with the use of the developer console and changing the field value of the username after the third verification task is complete, and before the password sanitation begins in the modify_account.asp file.
Alternatively, an attacker can bypass client side sanitation all together by submitting a valid option and then changing the parameters in an interception proxy.
There is a small amount of server-side sanitation, but this is easily circumvented by making sure (in this example) the field value ends up looking like this. user"> Keeping the the src parameter as far to the right as possible appears to circumvent any server-side sanitation attempts.
2 Proof of Concept
1)Login to router
2)navigate to: http://aidisk/modify_account.asp?account=user&new_account=user&new_password=123&confirm_password=123
3 Solution: Don't buy ASUS Routers. **********NOTE****************** Other router models are likely affected by this vulnerability as they appear to share the same or similar firmware (example: RT-N66U). I have been unable to confirm this theory as the vendor is unresponsive. http://seclists.org/fulldisclo...
Not a Clinton supporter but my 2 cents: Her supporters like progressivism and are willing to turn a blind eye to the shenanigans. They aren't principled. At least not in a moral sense. The most common answer that I hear: "It's time for a woman to be president." I didn't know that genitals were a qualification for any job other than porn.
Neither hackers nor squirrels. Physical attacks have already happened in California. A relative few attacks coordinated to occur simultaneously on multiple power stations would do the trick. I can't remember where I saw it, but in a story about EMPs the author noted that the components that are used to build the transmission stations are only manufactured by one or two companies overseas. The build time on these components is 3-5 years. They don't have spares sitting around.
"...that sparked deadly protests across the Muslim world." Bullshit. Those who repeat this lie are the diehard Clinton supporters who do not possess a shred of intellectual honesty.

.223 works great too.

"they can opt-out through Digital Advertising Alliance..." Thanks, but I opted out with script and ad blockers a looong time ago.

How is this news for nerds, stuff that matters?
because Trump is a conservative populist
BZZZ! Wrong. Trump is a progressive populist.
No, if you don't want to accept the terms of using the website (cookies in this case) you DON'T GET TO USE IT.
Are you sure? My Self-Destructing Cookies add-on doesn't believe you.
Bad guys are only asking for $1600? Without hesitation they should, pay it, get their shit together, and move on. $1600 is chump change.

I'd say that the NSA using MS error reporting is a pretty good "known security incident" for this type of thing.

Stop conflating Crony Capitalism with Capitalism. It's like saying Socialism, Fascism, and Communism are the same.

Someone should make a dazzling laser that is invisible to humans but can "blind" cameras. Mount it on your dashboard.

Why, the newly created Department of Backdoor Security (DBS), of course!
