Leadership starts at the top, especially with the man whose sworn oath is to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States". If protecting the freedom of speech doesn't fall in the list of things that office holder should be doing, I don't know what is appropriate. His inaction and lack of leadership on this issue is appalling.
Has congress made a law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances while we weren't looking? Or is it possible that you really should read your country's constitution before you try citing it?
Seeing as how the VP is such a VIP, shouldn't we keep the PC on the QT? Because if it leaks to the VC you could end up an MIA, and then we'd all be put on KP
Putting police officers inside giant plastic bubbles and then tilting the whole of Manhattan Island to help them collect bananas is clearly the best approach to fighting crime.
...the most expensive city in England, and the rest of the foundation works in the most expensive city in North America.
It seems to me that if everybody in WMF right now moved to Scotland or Ohio, their fundraiser would be done within an hour. That's not exactly the price of buying a programmer a coffee, but if you're a small non-profit with costs of a top website: servers, staff and programs, perhaps it would be a good idea to cut costs where possible. You can read about that in a library or a public park where we can all go to think and learn. If Wikipedia is trying to be relevant, they should take one minute to think about where all their money is going and why. Thank you.
I'm more interested in how the crackers collected the passwords for the INTERNAL email systems at these companies.
You would be surprised at how many terribly important people use passwords like "p4ssword" or "abcdefg" because they just can't be bothered with anything else. You might even be more surprised at how long some people continue to have access to company systems even after they have been fired.
All it takes is a single mailbox and you can spread through the rest of the company and any company that it has contact with.
Because the crackers would have to, repeatedly, craft emails that were convincing enough to persuade their victims to submit their INTERNAL email passwords to an EXTERNAL site. Without anyone becoming suspicious enough to look into it.
You could always read a better article on the subject, or the original paper it was based on. Most big companies still use a horrible little mailbox program called "Outlook", which frequently loses its connection to the "Exchange" server and then pops up a dialog asking the user to enter their username and password again. I know, it seems crazy, but software like this is still in use today. The target receives an email promising terribly important information either in an attached spreadsheet or at the end of an obfuscated web redirection, opens a document associated with the swiss cheese like office suite which was installed on their computer when they bought it, and because they bypassed the annoying "I can't let you use this file because it came from the Internet" warning long ago, it immediately executes a bit of VB script to pop up a surprisingly familiar window asking for their password. They trust it, like they have been trained to do, and then it's all over.
You're not looking at scenes carefully chosen to build anticipation. You're looking at the only two minutes of the movie that didn't have lens flares in them.
Not that I disagree with you, but it is horribly ironic that we should find compassion here when organized religion has been at the root of man killing each other for thousands of years now.
And I find it equally ironic that you have used italics when the luminescence of anglerfish is caused by symbiotic bacteria which dwell around the esca.
the MPAA has extremely powerful political connections and can rewrite rules as it sees fit. It can escalate your extradition, exacerbate your arrest, and fleece your civil liberties all under the guise of the free market and "intellectual property" law.
And if not only his in-house legal council but also three outside firms working for him were completely unaware of this, then perhaps they stick to watching re-runs of Matlock and leave the practise of law to the big kids.
His comments to the House of Commons came after the parliamentary intelligence and security committee concluded that the brutal murder of Rigby could have been prevented if an internet company had passed on an online exchange in which one of the killers expressed "in the most graphic terms" his intention to carry out an Islamist jihadi attack.
It's a good thing that there has never, ever in the history of communication been an incident where anyone expressed in graphic terms their intention to carry out something that they weren't actually going to do.
About time Apple did what? Made their phones deliberately out of the best material available at the time and now out of a subsequently even better material made by a third party supplier that they don't control?
Made phones which don't have glass faces that run all the way to the edges.
1. Blind review: The reviewers are blind, so as long as the paper passes the "sniff test"...
2. International editorial review board: Their first, second, whatever languages aren't english...
Obviously a scam, though I want to know - did he mange to get off their mailing list?
You missed one.
3. The reviewers would appreciate it if the journal would stop mailing them papers without asking first.

Hacking != Carcking,
I think I'm going to need a car analogy in order to understand this. Or maybe something about Elvis.
Except that Sony has claimed they will not distribute it in any form.
Kind of like how Disney refuses to distribute films once they have been placed in the "Vault".

Why this wasn't done years ago is beyond me.
His song "Hot Shot City" is particularly good.

Yet they were among the first to adopt computers back in the 1950s.
And they're still using the same ones.

There will be friggin' Ewok porn.
Too late. Way too late.
Ewok porn? There's already Wookierotica. (No, you'll have to google that one for yourself.)

All it takes to protect yourself is one good furnace with a gun.
This year, he pardoned the wrong turkey.
Good designs can prevent rouge servers
That doesn't take good design, just good colour choices.
Currently, there are 80,668 lines of code.
Which is interesting, since the OS has nine billion names.

Unfortunately, you won't find many ushers who are paid enough to give a damn.
That's why theatre owners are so excited about the new ED-209 Robotic Usher project.
It will also still be there after you finish shopping.
"In materials science and metallurgy, toughness is the ability of a material to absorb energy and plastically deform without fracturing."
That includes bending.
Sham poo for my real friends, Real poo for my sham friends.
Your spell-checker ruined the fun or did you not notice that they have an editorial borad?
I would be much more supportive of an Editorial Borat.
Possible "failure modes":
1. Blind review: The reviewers are blind, so as long as the paper passes the "sniff test" ...
...
2. International editorial review board: Their first, second, whatever languages aren't english
