    I'm not going to cite sources for maniacal leader or l33t haxor squad. Those are well known. For disgruntled employee, I'm citing the summary as well. People laid off of work, complaining online, etc. The summary (and article) is conjecturing that disgruntledness alone is sufficient for carrying out a devastating attack. I'll conjecture that a NK operative located a disgruntled employee through web chats and bribed him to get the needed info. That's just as valid as your story.

  3. Re:Typical "Big Lie" on Apple Pay For the UK · · Score: 1

    meh. from the banks' perspective, Apple Pay IS the status quo. customers are still using CCs issued by the banks, and the banks get to earn interest on the loans. Apple Pay is threatening Visa, Mastercard, etc. These people should be sweating bullets.

    is your situation the norm in the "boonies"? I can't think that it is. i imagine most everywhere other than truly isolated regions there is cellular signals, and if so it's easy to run a tethered internet connction (note: the data needs for a CC processor is tiny compared to surfing the web). so unless you're in the alaskan outback i don't understand why boonie infrastructure would be a problem.

    motive, means, opportunity:

    MOTIVE: Maniacal leader, irrationally hates movie. Check.
    MEANS: l33t haxor squad. Check.
    OPPORTUNITY: disgruntled IT person sells info on computer network. Check.

    See, it's fun to connect dots.

  6. Re:"Evidence", not clues. on Belize's "Blue Hole" Reveals Clues To Maya's Demise · · Score: 0

    i came here to say the exact opposite thing: evidence, not discovery. FTFS:

    Studying minerals from Belize's famous underwater cave, researchers have discovered that an extreme drought occurred between AD 800 and AD 900

    i chafe whenever anybody says something like "scientists discovered that...". A good scientist will tell you that all he does is find evidence which may support or contradict a number of competing theories. Nobody "discovers" anything.

    I think many state issues are due to poor app writing. For example, the ms excel app bails out of the active file when the app goes to the background, but other spreadsheet apps have no problem maintaining open files in the background.

    yes but what about the "blue wall" where no cops speak out and say "what this other cop did was bad". it's just a bunch of shizz.

    an MRAP makes the average citizen think he is in danger from an armed military invasion. if the police did not behave as if they are an occupying force, then maybe the citizenry would be more receptive to dealing with them.

    the problem is all of the innocent people who get hassled and harrassed by the police. like random patdowns, or civil foreclosure, or general mafioso-style intimidation tactics. when you put thugs and criminals in a blue suit they are still thugs and criminals.

    Brown was shot because he escalated the situation to a "high risk arrest" by going for the cop's gun.

    it was never an arrest situation to begin with, it was just an a-hole cop bullying people on the street. sometimes people get tired of being bullied.

    it was proven that the cop's testimony was full of lies and half truths. why did MB approach the vehicle? if he is 6'3" and 300lbs how could he be leaning into the car? why the cop pull out his gun? why did the officer shoot a man who was unarmed ane 150' away? if the officer felt unsafe why didn't he step on his accelerator pedal and go down the road a hundred yards beffore continuing to engage? if a boy had just stolen a cigarillo, why would he aggressively engage the police? a lot of things dont fit.

  25. false summary is false on Chromebook Gets "OK Google" and Intel's Easy Migration App · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    ""Chromebook's have had a good run thus far in the history, and most-recently they've had a stellar year of sales – famously beating out Apple's iPad."

    That's great except that the claim that Google Chromebooks "overtook" Apple in U.S. education is false.

    Based on IDC's reported numbers, Apple's U.S. education sales of Mac and iPads were not only larger than the corresponding, combined shipments of Android and Chrome OS products, but the "slight lead" Apple had over Google was a margin 172.6 percent greater than the unit differential that Garrahan and Bradshaw directed attention to in their article.

    Additionally, Chromebooks are not even Apple's most significant competitor in eduction, nor are Chromebooks a fledgling new initiative; Google's Chromebook initiative originated before the iPad, it just has never gained any real traction as a product.
