I think you make my point. Those panels were plenty understandable, relatively speaking. It might still be wizardry to grandma, but anything that you can "look at and figure out" is sufficiently qualified as "user-friendly" in my book.
You can't "look at" shit in these modern GUIs. Vague, ill-defined standards used to let you guess whether something was under "File" or "View", but what the hell is a sidepane full of unlabeled icons supposed to communicate? I can guess at the possibilities of the wrench, but that's some kind of flag over there and I have no idea (or consistency) on what the squiggly arrow means from one program to the next.

When your OS or UI doesn't offer intuitive routes, you turn management into some arcane manipulation of teh majyks. It might seem nice being a wizard, but users need to use, not peruse archaic scrolls for scrawls of regedit controls. The stench of this is distinct from "planned obsolesce" turds, but it's all a bitter stink.

It's not your aunt's fault that Christmas sucked. Please don't harbor the idea that she intentionally wanted to ruin it. She thought you'd be delighted! It said 1,000 games on the box! 1,000 games!
I'm not some victim-villain blame-game SJW, but c'mon, don't blame your Nana.
If it is the Idol of Glory you seek, you'll find it in the Hall of Statues.
To reach the hall, you could navigate the roof and descend from the awnings, but you must be wary of the swinging arm traps that will wait there. Otherwise you must traverse the Swamplord's Sanctum, and brave the Mudmen guards with their foam-tipped poles. The choice is yours, challenger.
These numbers are totally off. Which is a shame, because once optimized we would have slightly increased burden on bandwidth whales.
> tax could set back the country's technological development
Or, y'know, launch their tech forward, if it were applied back to the infrastructure it came from, as is appropriate.
Yes, I'm aware that's an impossibly big "if" in the sky. Just calling out the whine's poor phrasing.
Password reuse (see XKCD#792) is risky behavior and having a throwaway tier is good security. Having multiple password tiers requires operational brain cells, though, so I put more emphasis on undoing the headache of symbol training that doesn't offer much protection anyway. Every attacker is accounting for swapped 'e's and '3's, folks, that doesn't help.
Taking erotic photos means the creation of controlled, owned data. Totally valid behavior, social norms aside.
Distributing it to a person or entity (sometimes more than one at once, ie recipient AND apple) means immediate forfeit of control, unless the distribution is conditional (ie NDA).
This isn't victim-blaming. In fact, I'd say the source point is even absolved of what the data does in the wild. She has no say (morally and mechanically) in what happens down the line, so I can hardly blame her. The source point can even vanish (ie die) and it makes no difference once it's In The Wild.
Right, like social engineering up a password isn't "hacking" or any tech wizardry. There will be "unauthorized access" charges, though. You'll be accessing data that's designated as restricted by virtue of the password's barrier. Getting inside a designated-private wallet is also a no-no.
Even if AT&T put a pathetic sticky note of a label at the top of the page saying "This is private data and only Bob, Sally, and Jim are supposed to access it.", I would consider that a means of designating it a private document, even in located in a public space with absolutely zero security, and I would be much more comfortable with a charge of "unauthorized access".
In such a case you could still bust AT&T for negligence, if you like. Handling the goods/data of others means an obligation of security; the above paragraph only meets the much easier obligation of non-disclosure. As in, don't go telling everyone your customer's data. But their giveaway in 2013 didn't even meet that basic obligation.
I approve of this award. These are an invasion of women's rights. These are kids in need of protection. These are people who need SJWs facetweeting for them from coffee shops. Mark and Frank giggling about a 'dongle' across the hall is a first world problem.
> After having committed a hack against AT&T
Is this that thing where he looked at the public page that AT&T offered freely? And please don't equate it to yet another unlocked house door, which is still designated property. It was more like leaving your "private" shopping list posted on a Public Notices board.

I'm sure I'll be burned at the stake for being a witch here, but maybe, just maaaaaaybe, I should listen to the voice of logic that's whispering "there's a rational gap here; maybe, just maaaaaaybe there's more to the story than this."
Or maybe there isn't. Hard to know. The more time that's passed, the more we're stuck with mere He Said She Saids. I'm sure there were assholes involved, at least.
Intelligence can be dangerous if not rounded out. Dogs probably look at us and think "If I had those, I would invent hand tools and make soooooooo much bacon."
It's a miracle humans got anything done after that mark.
"Consent to access" and even merely "display" the pictures, I could see. But to employ them, not so much, they don't have ownership. Isn't this the same country that champions imaginary property? They can view her "privately" written book she uploaded, they can even distribute the contents, but they can't fucking sell the book.
As for false identity and shit, I'm unimpressed that viewers (suspects) actually believed that a facebook account is a reliable anything. I swear, you go around as XxObama999xX and half these facetweets on their phones will buy it. I'm sure facebook's ToS prohibits this shit and there might be something about fraud or falsification, but unlike my first paragraph I have no doubt the powers that be are safely above the pedestrian fences, they'll probably even have "extracircumstantial accommodations" prepared in advance. Or loopholes. Whatever.
Pandemic-level, sure. Extinction-level? I suppose if the surviving fraction (duh.) no longer resembles modern society, you could say something went extinct.
>An alternative to having the whole crew in stasis is to have one person awake for two to three days, then hibernate for 14 days. By staggering the shifts, no one person would be in stasis for more than 14 days at a time and one crewmember would be awake to monitor the ship, conduct science experiments and handle maintenance chores.
IIRC, one of the stories included in OSC's "Intergalactic Medicine Show" did something like this, but a crewmember wakes up to people missing or dead or something. Can't remember it well.
"Thanks science, uh, keep up the good work. Great job on that cure or medicine or whatever. But do call us when you get hoverboards worked out, doesn't matter what time it is, we'll come running."

There's not many websites you could really drop that line on, if you think about it.

I'm telling you, she didn't hate you, your dad clearly said to go with video games.
Maybe you can't tell them apart, but I posit that for every doddering aunt's purchase of that shovelcrap, there were zero cases of malice. Globally.

"Don't like it leave it" is the attitude of stagnation, decay, disrepair. You don't get progress and improvement by running from what's broken.
And while I'm at it, "Doing the same thing and expecting different results" is the definition of chance. Someone please PSA the facetweet tier.

It was deliberately simple for brevity. In fact, if you have a weaker (aka Explain It Like I'm Five) variant, that'd be even better.
rwa2 up there has an uncrackable clusterfuck you might prefer, though I don't really endorse leet-swaps, they're well-accounted for.

Yeah, it's important all right. Critical, even.
We're being awfully slow about teaching people to adopt passphrases. Simple, no number no symbol nonsense.
"rrrybgdts" is a nursery rhyme. It doesn't even have to be written on a sticky.
