Greece is not Running Out of Money, it's going broke because it can't pay the IMF for previous 'loans. And it isn't that Greece can't make the repayments. The problem for Greece is that in order to qualify for IMF debt rescheduling, the IMF wants to impose 'adjustment measures' on an already weakened economy. Measures such as cutting the public sector, reductions in wages and pensions, increase VAT rate on food, selling of remaining state assets and suppressing labor unions. The main beneficiaries of such measures being Wall Street and US banks.
"Telstra said that an unauthorized third party had been able to gain access to the Pacnet business management systems through a malicious software installed via a vulnerability on an SQL server"
Any more technical information as to the technical nature of the Pacnet Hack?
Are there any technical details regarding this 'sophisticated cyberattack', or was it yet another SQL exploit or altering a URL and scraping the database?
'Using a lightweight add-on for Firefox to modify HTTP headers, called "X-Forwarded-For Header," an attacker essentially could pass off a Charter customer's IP address as their own. The plug-in, as its description explains, "Inserts a X-Forwarded-For field into the HTTP Request header. Some servers look at this field to identify the originating IP address."'
What platform does Charter Communications run on, who designed the platform, and what were their names?
'Excluding advertising, the addressable market for television is approximately $575 billion, which is larger than the smartphone market. Also, given that people spend an average of 12% of the day watching TV (equating to 25% of their free time), we view television’s role in the living room as a strategically compelling bolt-on to the Apple ecosystem.
In addition to an Ultra High Definition television set, we expect Apple to launch a related suite of tiered products and services, including a “skinny bundle” of pay-tv channels (partnered with various media companies) and an updated Apple TV microconsole (which will continue to service the massive install base of televisions offered by other OEMs).
This will enable Apple to pursue the entire market by offering multiple products at various price points across the demographic spectrum. Netflix offers a similar tiered approach to pricing today by charging a higher price for those seeking the ability to receive ultra high definition content.' ref
"Airbus Defence and Space has today (Tuesday 19 May) sent an Alert Operator Transmission (AOT) to all operators of the A400M informing them about specific checks to be performed on the fleet.
To avoid potential risks in any future flights, Airbus Defence and Space has informed the operators about necessary actions to take. In addition, these results have immediately been shared with the official investigation team."
What exactly was the contents of the (AOT). What specific checks were required. Is this related to the 248 day rollover bug in the Boeing 787 generator control units (GCUs)?
If you include the offbook debt then the ration is more like 700 percent. The only solution being to lay off such debt onto whole countries in the guise of structual loans.
There were no 'terrorists' in Iraq until the US overthrew Saddam Hussein in the second Iraqi war. Saddam Hussein being a one time hitman and CIA agent who, under US instruction, wiped out the leaders of the Ba'ath Party and installed himself dictator. Was Americans best buddy in the middle east until he went broke invading Iran and invaded Kuwait in retaliation. Anything else you read is retrospective self serving neocon revisionism.
"In essence, Fury Road consists of one extended – albeit gloriously insane – chase sequence, but not much else... In the grand scheme of things, however, Theron and Hardy have little to do in terms of range or even dialogue, and while there may be a good deal of overt feminist subtext on the surface of Fury Road, there’s not much beneath the gravel rev."
'Penn State's College of Engineering has disconnected its network from the Internet in response to two sophisticated cyberattacks – one from a what the university called a "threat actor based in China"'
What was the nature of the attack, what Operating System does Penn State run on?

The browser can only be as secure as the underlying Operating System. Unless you mix browser and OS code so well that a) the OS relies on the browser for 'security' and b) it's impossible to totally remove the browser without breaking OS functionality or as in the case of Windows msOffice won't work without the presence of iExplorer.
"The rapid deployment of high speed internet access, fiber to the home, cable and other last-mile technologies, even in developing nations, means that the problem of needing offline access to functionality is becoming more and more a moot point."
High speed internet access is a bit of a relative term and you still need offline access to your data if and when the net goes down. According to this South Korea has faster broadband. A bootable USB device is going to be usefull for a long time to come.
