    So admitting wrongdoing, giving credit, and donating the money to a nonprofit is an "Extreme breach of trust"?
    How do you figure that?

    That's all good. The breach of trust was deliberately slipping people a Trojan in order to make private profits without the knowledge of, and at the expense of, their customers. It's theft and owning up to it later doesn't make it OK.

    Police are not recruited for their scientific knowledge and the average education level in Kenya is likely lower than in the western world.

    You know that under UK law everyone in London is a terrorist with reduced human rights don't you? This is how they legally justify random searches without even the suspicion of wrongdoing.

    So it's option 1 but not 'suspected terrorist', it's 'actual terrorist' because there is no burden of proof.

    When I look at the definition of terrorists and then at my government I really dont see much difference these days.

    Terrorists, and I mean real ones who kill people, commit one act then hide.

    Governments work day and night eroding the freedoms of people, stealing from them, and making them afraid of each other so they are easier to control.

  12. Re:One Suspect Dead on One Boston Marathon Bomb Suspect Dead, Other At Large After Shootout With Police · · Score: 1

    Police are trained to "shoot to stop", not "shoot to kill."

    Well that makes sense. The police just want to stop people and a good proportion of them don't understand that if they shoot people though the chest those people will properly die. I mean you have to spend years in medical school to know that bullets kill people instead of somehow making them stop whatever they are doing but still be basically unharmed.

    My point is wait two weeks because the current version of who did what and why could well turn out to be wrong.

    Yeah, sure, the reports are probably wrong.

    That must be why the two suspects threw bombs at the police and shot
    at least one cop, because those who are wrongly accused always carry
    bombs around, just in case, right ?

    Your'e a fucking retard, and you need to shut the fuck up. God damn it,
    I'd bitch-slap you myself if I heard you talking your inane pussy bullshit
    in person.

    My point is that we don't yet know for sure they did throw bombs or shoot at the police, that's just what the first reports claimed. These reports may be right or they may be wrong. They have a history of being true about half the time.

    You are clearly one of the masses who reacts first and thinks never, the type who are easily convinced by the real right wing nut-jobs.

    when a bombing suspect (who has been throwing grenade-like devices at you as you chase him) starts charging at you, you shoot to kill.

    The police normally start shooting to kill a long time before it gets to that stage.

    The first reports of any incident are always wildly inaccurate yet people are very fast to jump to judgement because of them.

    I remember when the brave UK police only just caught a dangerous terrorist who was running though the London metro system with the clear intention of detonating a backpack bomb in there. Two weeks later the story was the about an innocent man on his way to work who was held down and shot 7 times in the head by the police without even being given a warning. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Charles_de_Menezes

    My point is wait two weeks because the current version of who did what and why could well turn out to be wrong.

    Actually it is possible to defend against most zero day exploits. Good design prevents most of them happening in the first place and security in layers reduces the risk if they do exist. Firewalling windows machines as much as possible is essential if you need to use these things. And use a real firewall not the windows software nonsense.

    I use Kaspersky on some systems and it works well. Give that one a try. I think they do free trials.

    What I don't get is why companies in this day and age have 80% of their servers running windows when there are cheaper, better performing, safer, and stabler alternatives available. Either these companies have money to burn and are addicted to risk or they are ignorant of the alternatives.
