  1. Today . . . on Anonymous Member Sentenced For Joining DDoS Attack For One Minute · · Score: 1

    Today it is $183,000 for participating in a DDOS, covering the costs of a security firm hired previous to the DDOS to protect from the DDOS. Not long ago, it was millions of dollars for supposedly damaging the network of San Francisco, by not giving up the passwords for a week. Add to that Swartz having thirty-years in jail threatened, millions in legal feeds. The computer abuse and fraud laws are the problem. I could kill or rape someone and get off for less. But, apparently, threatening the plutocracy is the worst offense according to the plutocracy.

  2. As if were not enough that IT Managers the world-round are trying to smother their employees and businesses with the cloud, Cisco has adopted the same model and is currently deploying their own brand of chemical warfare.

  3. Agree on Why Bad Jobs (or No Jobs) Happen To Good Workers · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Consdiering some of the people hired recently where I work, I would have to agree with this article. Things like personality, which is necessary to some degree depending on the job, are always considered highly above the genuine ability to do a job. People want those who they like around them, more than those that do their jobs.

  4. Meh on The Link Between Genius and Insanity · · Score: 2

    Kay Redfield Jamison may be quite intelligent, considering she is a professor at Johns Hopkins, but it seems she merely continues to attempt to prove to herself that she is bipolar and that makes her special. The train that she rides does not do those afflicted by mental illness any good, nor does it help to expose the fact that mental illness can be extremely dangerous. For everyone one of these genius' she touts, because we all hear about them and their odd quirks, in her never-ending attempt to label herself as a genius, there most be tens of thousands of people suffering through various mental illnesses. Do not give her books to anyone suffering from mental illness, the odds that you have a mental illness strike you in the prime of your professional career as a psychologist at Johns Hopkins, with plenty of money and resources available to you, are not good.

    This woman does nothing more than obscure mental illness in her crusade to feel special and label herself as a genius.
