These drives would maybe last a year or two if you're lucky.
So, ten times longer than the average Seagate drive, then? That's actually pretty good for them! Eh, it's a joke, but based on reality. I've had so much bad luck with Seagate since they bought Maxtor, I don't buy their products anymore, ever.
According to TFA:"no "increased risk to customers as a result of this incident."
Considering that Adobe products are an endless stream of security vulnerabilities and zero days, I would say this is a fair statement. You have the same risk as you had before, when you allow their products onto your machines. As for the credit card data - shame on them. Why was that even on the same network?
It burns. We used to burn out garbage with it on our farm. Although you're right it takes a little while to get it started with a lit rolled up newspaper or something, but once it's going it doesn't stop. You can pour diesel onto a fire, too, and you won't get killed like you would with gasoline. Just don't get too close...
Er I think you meant to say liquid gasoline doesn't EXPLODE, because it burns quite readily. Although it is the vapor that is ultra-sensitive to sparks or any open flame, but gasoline has no problem burning quite quickly and releasing a hell of a lot of energy while it does.
Cars are not a legal currency, yet the US government has no trouble "cashing" those in at auction. Why would bitcoin be different? Lot #4612 65,000 bitcoin starting bid at...
Nah. Smart people already knew that governments always abuse power. And the trusting fools will just make up another reason a little bit closer to total insanity to justify their loving, protecting government. You can't win against fools. Ever.
Apparently you can charge a President with unlawfully entering a country's airspace. If it works on the presidents of Bolivia and Venezuela, I'm sure it works on the US president too. I look forward to seeing Air Force 1 having to go the long way around on some future "state visit". Tit for tat, ya know.
Vanish? I'm sure they'll be exchanged for cash on an exchange, and the cash will be kept by the Feds and spent as they please. Because the law says that any cash they seize when there is suspicion (not proof - suspicion!) of drugs/money laundering is theirs to do with as they please.
it seems that the Tor system is compromised by the snoops.
The safest option is to assume that EVERYTHING is compromised nowadays. Your OS. Your security certificate server. Your ISP. Your VPN. SSL. Your webcam. Everything.
Sort of underlines the fact that it was never about the "bad guys" in the first place. Example, all that financial data and transaction records all over the world they've been tracking. You going to tell me they haven't tied them to terrorist networks? Funny I don't remember reading that suddenly a bunch of terrorist cells are put out of business. Yeah, once in a while, little fish to keep the people quiet. But if you have ALL the data and powerful computers, it's not long before you have the whole list. But no, it's about "tax avoiders" (which is totally legal, btw avoidance != evasion although they are trying their damnest to taint it), and the billions no trillions of dollars that leave the US completely legally for countries like Cyprus or Panama. No one cared up till now because no one knew how much money it actually was. Oh but now they want to eat that pie, too. That's what it's about. Terrorists... har har har! Yeah and the TSA stops bombs and weapons from getting on airplanes, too. They catch guys with bombs trying to board aircraft all the time./sarcastic LOL.
They don't even have the guts to disband a bank, and you think they'll disband the NSA? LOL never gonna happen. If anything they'll threaten the NSA with "we want you to give us more intel so we can put the squeeze on people, or we'll start regulating you".
Yeah I agree with you, corrupt government are neither new nor exclusive to America. Governments have been corrupt ever since governments were invented. There are degrees of corruption, however. There seems to be a total lack of ethics nowadays.
No argument there. I'm sure Lucas isn't poor. It was his company. He can do what he wants with it. Maybe it was just a hobby for him and he got fed up of the money sink. Sucks for the employees though.
I hope she doesn't go back. Imagine working for the guy who fired you for no reason at all. Yeah right, he'd get a big "fuck off I'll take my chances" from me:)
Exactly. The model would have to be "come back later in a couple hours". And unfortunately it would be self-defeating. If it was successful then it would have longer wait times because the printer would be busy. Of course that's easily solved with more printers, but at one point you stop being a supermarket that offers printing and become a printer that stocks supermarket goods...

Don't complain, you guys actually like it.

Tires can be impressive when they cook off, too.

Same here, lol. Wait - algorithm? Compromised the minute you strayed from random numbers :)

The right to free travel across borders is also a basic human right, according to the UN and the Helsinki declaration.

Yeah it's only the metadata. Keep telling yourself that so that you believe it.
No oil and Israel is probably not involved in the pizza, so there won't be a war.
This reminds me of a fairy tale. Now what was the moral of the tale again? Ahh yes, I remember...
Illegal or not, familiarity breeds contempt. They keep doing it long enough they really won't give it a second thought, even if it is illegal.

Let's re-invent facebook and we'll use your condition for marketing! It'll be a sure hit!

I don't deny that the planet is warming. The cause, however, is not proven either way.
