My email from eBay on this does not say they are "dumping" PayPal. They have signed an agreement with Adyen and will continue to offer PayPal as an option:
"We have signed an agreement with Adyen, a leading global payments processor, to become our primary payments processing partner. PayPal, a long-time eBay partner, will be a payments option at checkout for eBay buyers."
Well, Miriam Webster believes that fake and false are synonyms: https://www.merriam-webster.co... fake Synonyms Synonyms artificial, bogus, dummy, ersatz, factitious, imitation, false, faux, imitative, man-made,
I didn't intend to imply that I felt the missile warnings had been intentionally faked, so I'd agree with you that the use of "false" would have been a better choice of words.
What's cool about your post is that I can swap your space references with Internet references and it still stands up pretty good!
"What is this obsession with shoving stuff into the Internet? There are already so many things in the Internet that we'll soon be at a critical point of so much Internet debris flying around that it'll be self generating and dangerous for humans to venture to the Internet especially if this idiotic idea of IoT takes off (pun intended). As for deep web - until someone invents a serious much faster and practical competitor to the Tor Browser we ain't going anywhere and thats only going to happen if the laws of physics suddenly open up in unexpected ways.

Well, the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon earned about $2.4 billion from 1966 to 2009 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jerry_Lewis_MDA_Labor_Day_Telethon) to look for a cure to muscular dystrophy. So good luck to this attempt with $3 billion instead.
Like I was with our IT guys. Fools thought I'd just give them my password when they asked for it. Told them to go screw themselves. They respected me for standing my ground. Why the very next day when I couldn't get logged into my computer they were very understanding and reset my password for me even after I'd been so harsh with them the day before.
Perhaps, If you want to appear professional, and conduct business, maybe you shouldn't be using the gmail web interface for sending emails in the first place?
Let's also seek legislation to allow officers to get warrants that allow them to read the minds of potential criminals so they know when they are lying. Because "I think there really is reason to have the ability"
The Greeks didn't sell Troy a Trojan Horse, they left it outside for them to have for free. When you leave for work in the morning and find a Google OnHub on the front porch, and you didn't order it, then maybe it's a Trojan Horse.
LOL, I'm guessing these lawyers see the same opportunity as some well known Nigerian scammers. Just fire off letters to every musician you can find promising them a big share of the money to be had from filing suits again these notorious web sites. Only the letters are coming as from: Mrs. Maryam F. Abacha, Attorney at Law. Instead of wife of dceases diplomat...
No, no, no...it's not enough to have a cesium clock at home. You have to take it on vacations and family outings in order to live a little more than your neighbors!
I'm certain the drop is due to all the previously infected machines being taken out of service and replaced with shiny new computers running Windows Vista! Just need to wait a while until they get reinfected and the numbers will start to climb back up.

Exactly. I got pulled over the other day for doing 57 mph in a 45 mph zone. If it's ok to taser some jerk for being loud then the next thing you know officers will start deciding it's ok to shoot out my tires for exceeding the speed limit....
I used to watch a show called "Acorn: The Nature Nut" Host was a fellow called John Acorn. I've seen him described as a singer/scientist. He used to play a little guitar and sing as he taught about nature. A cute show, maybe geared towards the youngsters but I still enjoyed watching him.
More correctly they should maybe say 1% of Web Sites indexed are porn. They forget other means of porn transmittal, usenet, bittorrent, many p2p apps. Plus whose definition of porn did they use? Did sites with depictions of nudity qualify? How about lingerie model sites?

Hey, I'm on board with people being able to use what they choose! Just gotta make sure those choices are all ones that I also like.

Watch for new campaign promises from Donald Trump: "We're going to travel to Mars, and we'll get the Martians to pay for it!"
Unsolicited bulk email senders would kill for success rates that high!
leave the word "Political" out of that and the percentages would likely still be about the same:

Because:
C:\>dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev:sdb
'dd' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
It shouldn't be long before someone produces a phone and then pays the consumer to use it.
Can't risk losing an eye, time to switch back to regular cigarettes where I can only lose a lung....

It will look really nice hanging on the wall next to my "License to ill"
