IMNAL, but I believe the law supports you being compelled to supply body fluids for testing. Its been a few years, but back in the 90's when being arrested on suspicion of drunk driving you had your choice of blood, urine, or breath testing once back at the station. This is one area, where 5th amendment protection usually doesn't apply (since its considered a search).
Um, I think its more then a theory, of course there thousands of practical exploits for MS and IE. No OS or application is immune, its just proves EVERYONE must keep things updates on a regular basis and generally be cautious.

Yet adds a bit of suspense though doesn't it? Shoulda made them an Asian gang who rides crotch rockets around, that'd been sweet.
It is true I don't read his blog, I do understand he's a humorist but these days every celeb is pushing some agenda or another. I also failed to notice the Monty Python foot demarking the post as humor. Forgive me, I hadn't had my coffee yet:) off to a rough week already.
I think the context was more that Security Researchers refer to themselves as hackers. Hence relocating for better pay, if you're an internet-based criminal, you can do that pretty much anywhere.
Most politicians have fund raisers, that money goes into the coffers to pay for advertising and whatnot ~ although some wealthy businessmen will pay for their own stuff out of pocket - Steve Forbes did as much running for president a few years back. Campaign finance is a quagmire where getting the candidates ear (whether it be at a $500 golf outing for a $2500 a plate dinner) makes people want to further back the candidate because, right or wrong, they feel like they have an "in". We all know politicians are smooth talking snakes in the grass and no where is this skill more honed then pressing the flesh with fat checks at stake. They tell everyone exactly what they want to hear as their pursue office. There is a tremendous amount of ego on display, no doubt.
Not sure where you got the 60k number, but last I read (and it has been a while), most federally elected congressmen and senators are clearing six figures per year - it has escalated since they vote for their own pay raises. The fund raisers are a constant, not just when they are campaigning, but the frequency and $$ amount will both spike leading up to an election. And then there are the party's smear campaigns which come from a different pool of money that the candidate doesn't have direct access or direction over. And there is the back-room, cognac & cigar fund raisers that the public doesn't see (cept in the movies) that we generally accept as fact.
The political internet interest can be attributed, IMHO, to Howard Dean who raised a tremendous amount of money from single donors online (each less then $500) when was campaigning for the democratic nomination in 2004. What I would prefer to see political internet activity focus on, is developing a secure way to vote online - and ongoing issues put to the people where our feedback could be gathered - when 51% of the constituents say YEA/NAY to a proposed bill, the elected representative follows suit on the floor. But that's me, I'm a dreamer.
Oh, you will pay down some the interest in the forms of broken fingers before things get too out of hand. Of course, in general, there is more threatening then actual beating, an injured man who can't go to work is very hard to get money from the next week. The 10% was just an example, but if you are already in bad standing the number does tend to be higher then those that are in good standing.
Microsoft makes a secure desktop operating environment.
Did it pass? As long as (and my guess is many of these hacked machines fall into this cateogy) machines can be installed and the default user as (1) admin rights and (2) no password and (3) is already grossly behind security related updates that (4) aren't automatically downloading and installing (this setting is reccommended) said updates you don't think they have *some* responsablity for the overall number of zombie machines out there?
I'm not suggesting they did any of this on purpose, they want to build a functioning box home idiots ^H^H^H^H^H users can use, but that in itself has helded create the world where 80% of all internet traffic is spam being sent by such botnets.
That reminds me of this one time when my Aunt Sue couldn't sleep, she had eaten some sour kraut at one of our reunions and it was repeating on her something fierce, Aunt Sue was always a gassy woman. Anyway, so my Grandma, in her worldly ways told her to got 'sit on the toilet' and that she'd feel better. My Grandma was always telling people to 'sit on the toilet', I swear she must of a thought a good constitutional would cure just about anything. So anyway, Aunt Sue couldn't sleep an account of the gas, the first couple nights anyway, never did find out what was keeping her up after that. She ended up watching the home shopping network at a pretty good clip, going through her savings at an equal rate. It got to the point that we had to have an intervention, well this was before interventions where popular, it was more of her going broke and having to come live with us - the intervention was us coming to pick her up. Don't recall laughing much that day, but her being gassy and me finding flatulence funny, she was always good for a giggle.
Well, in less respectable circles, if you owe the bookie $100 on Monday and the juice is 10%, you owe him $110 on Tuesday, $121 on Wednesday and so forth. Its meant as a motivator to pay what you owe in a timely fashion. What you say is true in regards to the vig (as a percentage of the bet and the effect on the payout) and the house always win - like a rake at the poker table. But once you are into negative numbers the bookies become loan sharks and things change a little. I'm sure there are also regional differences in the practice, and I was speaking more to the "juice is running".
Where they the ones of us camping? Man I hope so, one time, and I hope they got this one, my Uncle Willie was teaching me to fish and even though he said I shouldn't cast on my own, well I didn't need his help and went and ripped one way out there... I stood standing there waiting to see my bobber fall from the sky but after a few moments, when nothin had happened, I turned round to see the hook in ol' Willie's nose, this was before nose piercings where popular mind you. Man, Uncle Willie must have chased me for 2 miles. I'm sure he didn't think it was funny, but looking back on it now, it gives me a chuckle.
You obviously have NO IDEA how gambling works. If people can't go in debt then the juice doesn't start, without the juice we'll have to rely on the elderly and convention junkies to support the industry and that'll never do. You think the whole thing is limited to the strip? Wake up and smell the baseball bat.

Analyst tend to focus on past trends and performance, Google baffles them because they ARE that different a company.

I'm sure some had a good lag-out coming to them, small hands, smelling of cabbage and all.

Are you suggesting Adam's piece was satire? It sure didn't read that way.

Thats crazy... that's like going after P2P admins for users sharing illegal content. It would never fly.

Think of it as interest, compounded daily (or on your body parts if you don't pay in a timely manner)

They were able to accomplish this by installing a series of one-way valves in the Interweb's tubes.
