Inside the drive a thin film of air is the only thing standing between the drive heads and platters. If the drive head gets too close to the surface, the air is compressed and pushes back on the head. Take that away and you'll be carving the platters like a pumpkin the first time anything bumps or shakes the drive.
It looks like Fairfax wasn't able to come up with a DVD full of dollars ($4,700,372,992) to buy the company, but fortunately Blackberry was able to sell the CEO to an unnamed bidder for one billion.
(By the way, Thorsten? Just thought you should know. It's a cook book. Enjoy your trip.)
Yes, and American baseball teams also swept the World Series. Over 90% of the winners of the Miss Universe competition were born on Earth. Is that supposed to impress anyone?
More than half of all beer sold and consumed in the USA is either Budweiser, Bud Light, or Coors Light. Claiming that craft beers, with less than a 5% market share between them, are somehow representative of beer in the USA is at best wilful ignorance and at worst, marketing.
I don't think "But she didn't play FAIR!" is an acceptable defense here. Someone from outside of a secure organization was able to gain access to protected assets by doing little more than asking nicely. What little defense there was had been penetrated long before any of the spear phishing took place.

most office buildings have these things called electricity outlets and you can always charge via your laptop's USB port
And most batteries have things called a "capacity" which degrades over time. Depending on a variety of factors this may be as low as a few hundred charge/discharge cycles. Being able to replace the battery means that you will still be able to use it two years later, and not need to constantly plug it into one of those electricity outlet things.
To "Break Into" you have to get hired, get past security clearance process and then get hired into position that has access to something valuable, then succeed at taking it. When you are willing to manufacture lies "job offer" is an easy part.
Maybe you didn't read all of the article.
[...] men working for the targeted agency offered to help her get started faster in her alleged new job within the organization by going around the usual channels to provide her with a work laptop and network access. The level of access she got in this way was higher than what she would have normally received through the proper channels if she had really been a new hire [...]
If you read very carefully, you will see that "Emily Williams" was given access to the secure but unnamed organization's network without having to do any of those things.
They're pretty common anywhere that money is worth more than the US dollar.
The simplest ones are little more than an ultraviolet light that you could pass the bill under. Not that much different in principle from holding it up to a light to see the security strip, but significantly more effective.
Here's a little driving tip. If you're going anywhere near as fast as everyone else on the road, you're probably speeding.
Fixed that for you. The only time that you can expect other drivers to be doing the speed limit is when the tiny lights on their dashboards start flashing and they all slow down at the same time.
Actually, what he said was more along these lines:
"Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it. He said, "Because it is there."
"Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it, and the moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And, therefore, as we set sail we ask God's blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked."
Just for fun, count how many times Kennedy used the word "we" in that speech.
If he had made that speech today, half of the Internet would be claiming that JFK was a nut who was taking credit for the entire space program:
"But if I were to say, my fellow citizens, that we shall send to the moon, 240,000 miles away from the control station in Houston, a giant rocket more than 300 feet tall, the length of this football field, made of new metal alloys, some of which have not yet been invented, capable of standing heat and stresses several times more than have ever been experienced, fitted together with a precision better than the finest watch, carrying all the equipment needed for propulsion, guidance, control, communications, food and survival, on an untried mission, to an unknown celestial body, and then return it safely to earth, re-entering the atmosphere at speeds of over 25,000 miles per hour, causing heat about half that of the temperature of the sun--almost as hot as it is here today--and do all this, and do it right, and do it first before this decade is out--then we must be bold.
"I'm the one who is doing all the work, so we just want you to stay cool for a minute."

Enders Game could be the best movie ever, Orson Scott Card is not getting a dime of my money.
Unless he is still getting royalties from the book. But what are the chances of that?
Waitaminute. I didn't post that.
Okay, maybe I did, but I was probably in a drunken stupor when it happened so that's okay.
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is very happy to hear about that.
Who in their right mind would do that?
Ordinarily it takes a municipal government to screw things up to that level.
I don't know what you think of that but it is a booby trap in my book.
Remind me never to hire you to implement network security.
so what is the maxtrix of which trump which?
Surely there must be some way of finding that information.
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of rock, paper, scissors?
What do you get if you multiply six by nine?
Madness? THIS IS HELIUM!

But but but ... I want a desktop andriod for my linux system.
You can get one, but it won't look anything like Darryl Hannah did in 1982.

They look just like us but like bad beer and hockey.
And the ones who like good beer stay in Canada.

Hey now... we were promised transparency by the Precedent, and we got it! All the corruption is completely out in the open now!
That's unprecedented.

So what's the "minimum safe stopping distance" for an aircraft at mach 1.2?
Texas.
Almost half of those returns were exchanged for Blackberries.

Canada has more Polar Bears than the US, so they should have 10 times the number of manufacturing plants than does the U.S
That would even make sense if manufacturing plants were staffed by polar bears.
See what a stupid statement I made?
Yes, yes I do.
