  1. Wooo on Cathay Pacific Data Breach Hits 9.4 Million People (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Time for another round of identity theft!

  2. It's supposed to be a "local" business website, but the contact us page has no phone number...

    They still registered it before any official announcement from the Packers or MS, so I'd say it's theirs to sell.
    I mean it's what 35 bucks to register a domain, and you wait a month or so beforehand to register the domain? If you have 5K to offer I think you could've registered a few maybes earlier on in the process.

  3. Re:What's bad about starting at 7:15AM on MIT's Elegant Schoolbus Algorithm Was No Match For Angry Parents (bostonglobe.com) · · Score: 1

    The two hours earlier was for high school students, TFA doesn't mention what times elementary students would've started/ended at (and I can't be bothered to find out).

  4. Re:Why reinvent the wheel? on Google Wants To Kill the URL (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    This right here is what I came to say ^

    Just show the domain from the cert for the address bar until you click on it, then show the actual url.

  5. Can't they just be charged with treason?

    You do realise email is plain text sent over the interwebs? Anyone can read it without much effort no matter who you're with or where you host...

    I'm not a kickstarter/crowd funding inclined type of person, but I will keep the game in mind, thanks.

  11. Yes she did, Sara Leigh used to be her name.

  12. .... Works fine for me

  13. Can't the devs have a list of review keys, a game mode with noticeable "review copy" mentions plastered all over it, and a time limit that'll force quit the game after an hour or two?
    Then just hand to them to whoever asks?

    Seems likely anyone paying money for those keys would refund it.

  14. Stylish

    There's an active fork, it supports all the forked XUL browsers.

  17. Re:We aren't on PC Case Maker CaseLabs Closes Permanently (pcgamer.com) · · Score: 0

    This is the story of a dropshipping company that primarily made its margins by bringing in custom products from China and selling them in the US.

    CaseLabs made their cases in CA, that's where the higher prices come from.

    How hard is it to make high-volume cookie-cutter cases and standard parts?

    They made low volume custom cases with custom parts.

    /. and RTFA

    the East Cut name originated from a neighborhood nonprofit group that residents voted to create in 2015 to clean and secure the area. The nonprofit paid $68,000 to a "brand experience design company" to rebrand the district.

    But it wasn't until Google Maps adopted the name this spring that it got attention -- and mockery.

    "The East Cut sounds like a 17 dollar sandwich," Menotti Minutillo, an Uber engineer who works on the neighborhood's border, said on Twitter in May.

    Mr. Robinson said his team asked Google to add the East Cut to its maps. A Google spokeswoman said employees manually inserted the name after verifying it through public sources. The company's San Francisco offices are in the neighborhood (as is The New York Times bureau), and one of the East Cut nonprofit's board members is a Google employee.

  23. If the penalty for breaking these pledges is jack-shit, then what is the pledge worth?

  25. TFA mentions existing ones will be grandfathered in, but I also agree with your first sentence.
