Hashtags are meant to be a method for indexing tweets to find them later. Realistically, you shouldn't need more than maybe 5 on a post. If you don't limit the number of hashtags, you could write out an entire novel by just starting each word with a "#"
Clearly it's all part of the simulation. The computer is far more powerful than we can ever comprehend, and the devs are actively patching/updating areas that we keep snooping around in.
It's been a long time since I've used twitter, but last I remember, usernames go against your character count. Want to tell @pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis something important? Well, now you're down to 95 characters. Want to retweet something and tag them? You're probably SOL.
Furthermore, they should stop counting the letters in hashtags and instead just limit how many you can use. There are a lot of really inefficient things that Twitter does that they could clean up...
Seems weird that major tech firms would even bother with the likes of CCleaner... I'd assume they'd just re-image the PC's once they start getting fucky. In fact, I"m not even sure that most people use CCleaner.
Make a filter for the water company itself. It could be paid for via the utility bill/tax (depending on how your water is handled). It seems like it would be far more effective than making each person have to buy a filter.
bodegagateway.com - you order your groceries online, and they are carted from a corner store market to your house via rickshaw for the ultimate experience.
ryckshaw.com - While I'm at it, let's make a rickshaw-hiring app! This would be like Lyft, but with rickshaws.
Stand back boys, I'm gonna get RICH!

No way somebody would feel proud for spending more than asking price on something. "Oh shit plebs, I just spent $20 on this can of Pepsi! Look at all you suckers paying the asking price of $1" I just don't see how somebody would feel good about doing that.
I'm sure nobody will be jailed. A fine will be issued, which will be passed off as increased fees to clients. A few buzzwords will probably be thrown around about how amazing their security is now, but probably little will change. 5-10 years from now this will happen again. Maybe not to Equifax, but to some other company that didn't learn from the mistakes of the past.

Now, nearly three years later, the company is facing the consequences.

Lenovo isn't going to have to pay for putting customers at risk
They literally got less than a slap on the wrist. They'll just put some super small print in with their 500 page long EULA and continue on with business as usual.
I was expecting them to just pin it on piracy as per usual. At least they got the hint that their movies suck. Either lower the ticket price, or start making good fucking Summer movies.
A lot of people here seem to be under the impression that they are going to be canvassing (banging on doors, looking for sales).
I get the feeling that this is more of a service they will offer on-demand. They'll probably try to upsell it at their checkouts and in advertisements. You call them, schedule a date/time, and they come out to your house to check things out.
Showtime should turn around and sue his ISP for sucking so badly. Considering the press on this story, Showtime could argue that his ISP damaged their image.
Do they not understand that you can have midi controllers that interface with those knobs and buttons? With the proper MIDI controls, it's perfectly sensible.
Seriously... the internet has pretty much existed in the general public for a good 21+ years now. These shitty tricks haven't changed since they started, and yet, morons still fall for them. I'm at the point now where if an adult falls for this shit, they deserve to be compromised. And if a kid downloads it, I'd certainly hope their parents are smart enough to teach them not to fall for that shit ever again. I'm not even going to let my kids touch social networking and IM until they're old enough to understand some basics of the internet and computing.
Oh shit. This one hammered it home. "But if I always pick tails, I have a better chance of winning. Wait, I also have a better chance of losing." Suddenly, the dim lightbulb got a bit brighter. Thanks!
It makes sense, but my stupid human brain is trying to make me believe that using the same numbers is a better idea still. I can't wrap my mind around two moving targets having equal odds as one moving target and one stationary target. Can anybody give me some kinda ELI5 on this?
Wouldn't always picking the same numbers also slightly increase your chances of winning, in that you're only dealing with one set of random numbers (the winning numbers) instead of two (your quick-pick numbers and the winning numbers)?

For anybody interested, and for some Streisand-Effecting, here is the article in question: How The Guy Who Didn't Invent Email Got Memorialized In The Press & The Smithsonian As The Inventor Of Email.
Enjoy!

Maybe the close eye that they assigned demoed a pair of defective glasses beforehand.

TPain will be the first to go. Just set the genre to Hip Hop, and get the AI to read out it's lyrics with AutoTune and BAM.

If they're way outside of that box store fringe, what's the chance that they even hooked their TV up to their home network?
The guys that had their TV's for 2 weeks or so are in a good position. Just take it back to the retailer.

Also, does this apply globally, or just in Germany?

It sucks because they have the better console. But the best solution is to just ditch consoles and join the PCMR.
