Embezzlement is different than excessive executive compensation and is illegal in most places. Note that TFA says there was a raid and that they face "fraud, misappropriation of funds and disloyal administration" and that a High Court judge grilled him for more than four hours over the charges.
They criticize pirates but can't keep their hands out of the booty.
People in all sorts of organizations including many worthwhile charities embezzle funds. This situation might be superficially "ironic", but there is really little other connection.
They have the addresses, why can't they track down the servers and their owners?
Many are located in Russia or the 'Stans. These are places where organized crime runs deep in the circles of power, and thus are difficult or impossible to snuff out.
If you're a liberal, why have you been voting for Democrats? Liberals Love Liberty, don't they?
Liberals love a certain amount of socially responsible "liberty". But there's more to it, as you well know, for example a strong support of the concepts social responsibility.
It's all very disappointing to me, a life long Democrat and card carrying bleeding heart liberal... I voted for Obama with great hopes for open government and a roll-back of the affront that is the Patriot act.
Yet, under the guy that the Republican and Tea Party folks love to hate, the guy that Darth Chaney never passes a chance to skewer - under Obama the Patriot act continues to exist without a peep fro the People's President, whistle-blower prosecutions have never been higher, and the TSA continues to emulate the Sturmabteilung unabated. And we are still entrenched in the Middle East, pumping trillions into the pockets of corrupt "defense contractors" and corrupt Third World chieftains...
I've tried explaining to people why it is that in reality we live in a Police State that is little better than the former East Germany, but most people still don't get it.
From THX1138: It all happened so slowly that most men failed to realize that anything had happened at all.
Just so, so disappointing, I find myself wondering if I should have voted for McCain and that twit from Alaska. In 2012, I may just throw my vote away in the presidential election and vote my heart, it can't possible get any worse.
Yes, I can tell you from personal experience that LSD does indeed (at least for me) help knock back "cluster" headaches. The only real problem for me was the ensuing giant insects.
I don't know about most *nix systems admins, but I use root.
I'm not moron, I am neurotic about copious backups during work, I make the most of my development servers prior to pushing to the production servers, and am not generally susceptible to asking for problem solutions on-line and just assuming the rm -rf * is the solution to my problems (and it doesn't work with Windows...).
Seriously, do most admins really use sudo? I don't believe it.
Indeed there are a number of Linux distros that almost require it. I don'r use them.
I would like to add my name to a list of people who support this submission. Does such a list exist?
I currently have a case of projectile diarrhea due to an "bachelor party" excursion to Tijuana to take in a "Donkey Show". But I don't go around demanding my name be added to some list of Hot Male Studs with indigestion...
OK, you fuck-tards, contrary to popular believe, I *DO NOT* eat my babies. I am not a female and therefore I do not have babies to eat.
Secondly, I *DO NOT* eat my own shit. This idea may fascinate all the juveniles out there, but most adults are not as fixated on fecal matter as the current under 13 set that populates most of Slashdot.
Thirdly, I have *NOT* fucked my mother or sister. My mother is a fat pig, and quite frankly itâ(TM)s amazing she was ab;e to attract a man to father me. As to my sister, sheâ(TM)s 13 and suffers from fetal alcohol syndrome, and is not in the least attractive.
You people are SICK. Sometimes I wonder if Slashdot has become just another drone-fucking-4Chan forum.
Seriously? Microsoft is blowing off Silverlight and.NET for Windows 8?
Is this some sort of Slashdot Fantasy?
The premise of this "story" is so outside the realms of reality, it's hard to take seriously, and I start to wonder about the motives of the submitter.
Again, seriously? Microsoft is blowing off Silverlight and.NET for Windows 8?
In most cases people don't really have much choice.
Nonsense.
There are very few (if any) random web sites that validate your name against known data, except perhaps credit card transactions.
Sure, many sites validate real zip codes (though I have never seen street level validation - except CC transactions), but to say people *HAVE* to spill all their personal info is just ignorent.
And, this doesn't even address the issue of saving your private personal documents and images "in the cloud"... totally unnecessary and unwise.
Certainly Sony has some major responsibility here...
But when will people stop trusting the Intertubes security implicitly and just blindly dumping all their personal info into various "secure" web sites and Internet connected systems?
MS has not announced how exactly they will change Skype, but you can bet it will involve monetization in all forms. Don't expect any of the currently free Skype services to continue. Asterisk already lost Skype support.
This is a great opportunity for Google to roll out a multi-platform competitor.

Here, let me use Google Translator to translate your post to Russian -> Dutch -> Japanese -> English, and maybe it will make more sense...
This may not be an astrologer, it has benches along the lines of the log.
Unfortunately, I came to the location of the trash, I noticed this man in particular Slashdotters.
Yes, much better, now I understand...
When I'm on "vacation", I don't answer the phone when caller ID says it's work...
A reason is that orkut is FULL of low-brow content. "Orkutization" is used as a verb to define the rise of low-brow content in a given service.
Can you explain what you mean by "low-brow"?
Are we talking porn? Just uninteresting garbage? Spam?
Parent is SPAM
...The individuals will get off free...

I think you are thinking about "libertarians" .

Oh good grief!
Done masturbating?
Clean off the keyboard and go kiss your mom goodnight.
That was an expensive way to get a slashvertisement on the front page.
Slashvert for a corrupt Russian CC processor / spammer? Really? I'm not sure this is their audience.
And that's the best he could do? Girly pictures during a presentation. What a loser. Probably still lives in his parent's basement.
The story says "porn", but not what kind of porn...

Get off the CRACK.
A. This is not MIT students.
B. It's *Mildly* amusing, but only if you are juvinial and have lots of time on your hands.
News For Nerds? Only if you're a nerd still in high school.

Wow, you discovered my Slashdot password. I've had it for several years, now I have to change it...
Over 1,000,000 gold coins and several thousand mushrooms.
... "And nothing of value was lost..."
It has been said that criminals try to rationalize their crimes often times by thinking that they are just playing by the rules of life...
But they aren't hackers! They're "security researchers"!
