Nobody, including bad people, are going to intentionally choose a market that's only 10% of the total when its just as easy to target the other 90%.
Then why did most web server exploits target IIS when Apache had more marketshare? Because it was never about marketshare, it was about products with shitty security.
All they're doing is following the exchange rate for the British pound.
And I have some cheap oceanfront property in Nebraska I'm selling at a cheap rate. You don't see Microsoft (or any other company) announcing price cuts when a currency surges in value.
Yes - and the reason is, people are wankers. Half a dozen people report that their iPhone Plus bends - international scandal. Galaxy cracks at the same pressure - no one cares. Samsung phones are blowing up and even setting people's houses on fire? Two-day news story.
What it should tell you is that they've decided the best way to minimize it is to simply not talk about it. They just don't want to get involved in arguing over any of it. That's politics 101
Hand waiving 101. They're talking about the leaks constantly, blaming Russia for trying to influence the election. You really think they wouldn't be saying the emails were fake at the same time, if they could?
No-one is pretending that Trump's email is as important as the Secretary of State, but it makes his claims a little weak when he is guilty of similar things.
Has Trump's job been dealing with information beyond top secret as part of his day-to-day job? If not, then anyone suggesting it's a similar situation is, well.....an idiot.
Actually, as a business owner he has legal responsibility to enure his employees personal information is secure. He failed that responsibility, and given any other scenario every person in this forum would agree that this is neglect. Only because you're a Trump fanboy you excusing a multi-billion dollar business to run such shoddy information security.
Keep fucking that chicken. You might as well point to the fact that his house isn't as secure as Los Alamos, therefore he cannot be trusted with the football.
This is embarrassing that you are trying to justify this behaviour. Take the Hillary/Trump context away, this is information security 101. At least Hillary was smart enough to know how to hide important information. Trump is too stupid to know any better. The knave will always beat the fool.
If the controversy were about the Clinton Foundation using an unsecure email server, possibly exposing corporate deals or confidential business information - then you'd have a point. But it's not, so you don't.
Stop trying to make this comparison happen. It's not going to happen.
Which explains why half the population in the USA has not yet been drafted.
Which is a laughable statement when Hillary is ten times the warmonger Trump is. Not only does she already have the blood of a couple million people on her hands, she wants to do as much as possible to antagonize Russia and China for no good reason.
Secretaries of State have done that many times before, and if it were illegal to do it now, it would have been illegal for those secretaries tohave done it in the past.
No. They haven't. Most previous SOS's did not use email at all, and what few Powell sent were preserved.
Where were you complaining then???
Hillary Clinton was, which makes her a hypocrite for doing the same thing within two years of that rant, and her supporters mindless sycophants for excusing it.
And no, crimes of past president's are not irrelevant. They are very relevant since they show the hypocrisy of people who will excuse those crimes but suddenly become appalled when someone else does the exact same thing. If you didn't consider it a crime then you can't consider it a crime now.
You can't have it both ways hypocrite.
Wow - is that cognitive dissonance engine fusion powered? You were just saying how Hillary's corruption is okay because Bush did it first. Just a few problems with that:
Powell barely used email, and what emails he sent were preserved - unlike the 30,000 Hillary deleted. If she were anyone else, she'd be in prison for obstruction of justice in addition to mishandling classified evidence.
Speaking of scale, the Bush Administration tortured at least a hundred people to death, that we know of. Would you therefore be okay if Hillary has a hundred thousand people tortured to death? Because Bush did it first, and criminal Republicans set the floor of what is acceptable?
Partisan Democrats keep yelling that people are forgetting about Bush's private email servers - all the while forgetting how much they bitched at Bush at the time for doing so. Partisan Democrats like Hillary Rodham Clinton:
"Our Constitution is being shredded. We know about the secret wiretaps, the secret military tribunals, the secret White House email accounts," Clinton said. "It's a stunning record of secrecy and corruption, of cronyism run amok. It is everything our founders were afraid of, everything our Constitution was designed to prevent."
And yet two years later she did the same damn thing, only on a vastly larger scale. So, make sure to repeat that rant about hypocrisy - in the nearest mirror.
So if want to convict Hillary, you'll also have to line up Colin Powell, Condi Rice, and George W Bush.
Except Powell barely used email, and what emails he sent were preserved - unlike the 30,000 Hillary deleted. If she were anyone else, she'd be under prosecution for obstruction of justice as well as mishandling classified evidence.
But that's not the best part of partisan Democrats complaining that people have forgotten about Bush's private email servers. The best part is how those partisan Democrats have forgotten how much they bitched at Bush at the time. Democrats like Hillary Rodham Clinton:
"Our Constitution is being shredded. We know about the secret wiretaps, the secret military tribunals, the secret White House email accounts," Clinton said. "It's a stunning record of secrecy and corruption, of cronyism run amok. It is everything our founders were afraid of, everything our Constitution was designed to prevent."
And within two years she did the same damn thing she castigated Bush for - only on a vastly larger scale. Roh roh.
The simple fact is everyone did it, including Trump
Trump was an official at the highest levels of government, who's day job involved information classified beyond top secret? You should get this breaking news to the press.
The laws about using private servers for official work were changed after Kerry took over at State. Clinton's server was legal, just like Powell's private service. Both of them would be violating the law if they did it currently.
Diversionary excuse. With a non-partisan DOJ, Hillary wouldn't be facing prosecution for 'laws changed after Kerry', it would be for mishandling classified materials, violating statutes on the preservation of government documents going back to the '50's, and obstruction of justice for deleting tens of thousands of emails before an investigation. Diversionary to the point of being sophistry, just like the excuse that 'the emails weren't marked classified' when she sent them, when Hillary knew full well the information she dealt with was inherently classified.
Wrong. Clinton's private server was legal at the time.
Horseshit - tell that to all the people in federal prison or under prosecution for mishandling classified materials. Clinton had no more authorization to use an unauthorized, unsecured email server than the sailor had authorization to take selfies on a sub, but only one is facing time.
Nobody is a 'Fandroid.' A small subsection of the Applephone users are fanatical zealots. A larger group are just people with phones. And Android phones are just what The Rest Of Us choose to use.
Projection, lack of self-awareness, putting on airs of moral superiority....straight up Fandroid talk right there.
If this were Apple, they would deny the issue exist. That's exactly what "holding it wrong" was.
Uh, no. "Holding it wrong", like the bendy iPhone Plus, was a hateboi excuse to sit around and bitch about Apple. And like Bendgate, it was much worse with Samsung products than with Apple's - go check out that tumbler link and you'll see five Samsung devices where you're advised not to "hold it wrong". On the first page.
You haven't been paying attention. Hillary is the original opponent of Citizens United and has repeatedly pledged to overturn it.
Er, were you paying attention when I mentioned where the Clinton family's wealth comes from? The only thing Hillary didn't love about that case was the documentary trashing her, as she is just as thin-skinned as Trump when pressed. In fact, her campaign fundraising is entirely dependent on the reasoning behind Citizens United - unlimited corporate cash is no sign of undue influence or corruption, unless you have a notarized affidavit of a quid pro quo.
Are you kidding me? I've seen more negative coverage of Hillary Clinton in this election than most other candidates (incl Trump) combined!
Then you're a willfully blind Hillbot. If the press wanted to negative on Hillary, they'd be playing her Bosnian Sniper Rifle lies 24/7. And constantly demanding her paid speech transcripts. And constantly calling her a flaming racist for her Superpredator comments or saying it's perfectly normal for white people to fear black men in hoodies. Or threatening to "obliterate" Iran for a nuclear weapons program she knew damn well from her time at State the Iranians didn't have. Or constantly ignoring her primary opponent, when they weren't running opposition pieces on him.
These Wikileaks releases do seem pretty one-sided.
Where you complaining at Anonymous this spring, when they targeted Trump's campaign but not Hillary's? Trying to swing a foreign country's primary etc etc? If not, why not.
Assange's last major supporter is Putin. Putin clearly wants a weak U.S. President,
Western Exceptionalist dumfuckery. There is zero evidence that Putin is supporting Wikileaks - all claims to the contrary coming from the same liars who sold you on Saddam's ties to Al Queda and Nigerian yellowcake. Russia's military expenditure is 8% of NATO's. Russia hasn't been busy invading, bombing and overthrowing countries on the other side of the world from it for bullshit reasons. Russia isn't busy expanding the Warsaw Pact to Mexico and Canada. Russia isn't busy spying on everyone in the world yet whines like a bitch when someone spies on Putin.
I agree with you but politicians have to take money these days or else lose to their opponent who does.
Ask Eric Cantor about that. Money is not a panaceia.
A conservative supreme court ruled 5-4 on Citizens United. Hillary was against it and if she gets in, she can put a liberal judge on the court and overturn it.
Problem: Hillary is a conservative. A hard-core, right-wing neocon neoliberal freakshow, to be specific. And her family became.01%ers by whoring themselves out to monied interests - she's not going to bite the hands that fed them, nor who gave her the money to beat Bernie in the primary.
It makes as much sense as expecting Trump to ban casinos or shady real estate deals.
Anonymous hacked Trump this spring. You didn't see Republicans be WATB's, crying that the group had a bias (because they didn't hack Hillary as well) and where trying to throw the election. And the fact that it's irrelevant who did the hacking - it could have been Zombie Hitler, and he still wouldn't have forced the DNC or Hillary to corrupt political hacks.
...that worked out for him in 2000, when the media was so busy ratfucking him over invented fibs they didn't notice Bush taking credit for a bill he vetoed as governor of Texas.
The media giving Hillary a pass on her lies, corruption and incompetence has nothing to do with her party affiliation - which should clearly be R - and everything to do with her being part of the status quo.
Wow. So what's your excuse then? Here I was, assuming you were just another redneck who grew up on Limbaugh and Fox News, but you have first hand experience with actual socialism? So how much work did you have to do to get yourself that divorced from reality - a power drill to the side of the head, enough hallucinogens to kill a herd of elephants, or both?
Because it takes a powerful level of willful dumbfuckery to equate fascism and socialism the way you just did, with anything beyond a preschool education.
Yup. If you don't want a case for your phone....don't buy a damned case for your phone. As to understanding those who do, it's a matter of an expensive device costing hundreds of dollars and simple math. If a case adds another 4mm to the thickness of your phone, having a slimmer phone to start with means a slimmer overall width when the case is on it.
If you're a unique snowflake that doesn't have kids, pets, or has ever dropped a thing in his life (and doesn't carry car/home insurance), it's a free country. But the same goes for people who want to protect a $700 device or extend it's built-in capabilities.
I'd like to point out that prosecutors are a subset of lawyers.
Who's shitbaggery comes from being win-at-all-costs prosecutors, not from being lawyers. And if a civil attorney did half of what some corrupt prosecutors do - bribing jailhouse snitches with reduced sentences, hiding evidence from the other side - he'd find himself getting disbarred, and possibly spending some time in jail for contempt of court.
For prosecutors, though, it was absolutely extraordinary when Ken Anderson, who sent Michael Morton to prison for 25 years for a murder he didn't commit, was sentenced to jail for hiding exculpatory evidence from the defense. A jail sentence for all of ten days.

Right, just like how Obama uses the same phone, car and email accounts that he had before being elected president in 2008.
