It sounds like the username shared was "ngarcia", not his own. So he was sharing an account that he created and remembered the password to, not one that was technically his own. If he did it at all, that is.
The site doesn't have ads. It's got two amazon affiliate links on the About page (for the movie Hackers and a search of William Gibson's books), but that's it.
Many of the available PCI-type scanning tools seem to recommend it, so this is wonderful. Certainly sounds riskier than the recent BEAST vulnerability.
If you have the talent, you should write a filter to generate an inverse waveform that subtracts the allegedly infringing music but leaves everything else intact.:)
I've purchased two Dell laptops, and both of them have had issues.
However, they have both been relatively low-end models, and the issues have been minor. I suspect they take a lot of shortcuts to get the price down, so I'm not really outraged about it... the lesson is just not to buy cheap crap:)
My tower at work is a Dell Optiplex running Vista - *VISTA* - and it hasn't had any issues at all.

"Your own means" is theft from the credit card company, not theft from Apple. It will only lead to your own balls getting kicked. (Again, if you count getting conned into buying a first-gen iPhone 4 as getting kicked in the balls; which, unfortunately, is increasingly looking like the correct interpretation of it.)
I suppose, if you had to pick *any* industry or group of companies larger than Apple to piss off, that would be a good one. However, I don't think it will end well for you if you give it a try.
I do agree that many of the function names are, quite frankly, *wacky*... but the online manual more than makes up for it. I just toss it in my firefox search bar, and I can generally find any function definition (and, in some cases, arcane function names) nearly as fast as I can type it.
I've found it very difficult to find similarly useful resources in other languages (javascript in particular, if you can count it as a language;-)).
I'm not sure exactly what about it makes it so easy to use for regular reference - but I do know that it is about a billion times better than most docbook-generated documentation I've ever seen. Usually docbook/javadoc makes me want to stab my eyes out with a rusty grapefruit spoon.
That story is why I always beta-test my robotic weapons platforms with NERF and paintball weaponry first, before moving up to the beryllium-core laser rocket bullets.

This is exactly why I described it as a "possible" cyber attack. Could just be a bad patch push. :)

I'm just trying to do something good.
Yep, that's what I thought. Epic no-win scenario. :(
Maybe there's a way to Kobayashi Maru it.

I'm sure this will lead to a few new entries on my gibsonindex.org cyber attack severity ranking project, as people find ways to apply this attack vector. :(
Anyone know what Cipher Suite configuration is the "safest" now? :)
Gotta love quantum news posts: meaningless and meaningful at the same time, like a newspaper written by Schroedinger's Cat.
that is outrageous! this would never happen in a civilized country ... like Canada.
oh wait.
Only those of us living inside Taco's head.
The guy who sneaks into your bookstore with a portable scanner and makes a copy of a book and leaves without buying anything isn't a "customer."
No, that's what we call "a potential customer".
Mr. Smarty Pants (aka The Fin) disagrees, chum.

Unfortunately, it'll still be garbage.

Uh, isn't this credit card fraud?

But it could make a great 80s synth pop song.

More importantly, why are people overusing the word "cajoled"/"cajoling" lately?
I'm going to hop into my jalopy and head down to the pharmacy's soda shoppe so I can complain to the jerk.

Uhm, I think there may be a step or two about the approval process that you don't understand.
If you send email to somebody, wouldn't that somebody be the second party?
or *IS* he?
Perhaps he was referring to Ye Olde-Tyme Abomination, the dreaded Java Applet Navigation Menu? :)
But "drop" is an SQL command, thus, it makes the headline punny.
