  1. Organised Crime on Ask Indian Techies About 'Onshore Insourcing' · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Have you, or do you know of people who have been approached to gain unauthorized access to a company or provide corporate information for a fee?

    If you where offered 3 times your normal annual salary to provide a copy of a database or other information from a US company would you do it?

    Situations such as this are just now starting to come to light as illistrated in this article.

  2. Missed a few reasons on Ripoff 101: Gouging Students for Textbooks · · Score: 2, Interesting
    CALPRIG aren't the only people to notice this.

    There is a pretty good rant on the subject here

    It talks about how Universities actively protect thier monopolies to make money and alleges that they are in cahoots with the book publishers and take kickbacks from them. Goes so far as to compare universities protecting thier outdated bookstaores with the RIAA.

    Interesting read at the least.

    WooHoo!

    Is that all it takes to get a free XBox? Register a bunch of Microsoft rip off domains? I guess I have something to do this afternoon after all.

    Not only is the information in this article old. Security profesionals have been spouting this for over a decade.

    The article itself is over a day old. It constantly amazes me how far behind other news sources /. is. hacker Intel linked to this YESTERDAY morning when it came out. - Nicholas
