No, that's not so, and you know it. Usually it's some basement dweller who hacks into some system, downloads a shit-ton of data, and after getting no response from the bottom tier Help Desk, publishes it in the Intertubes in an attempt to get "street cred" as a "security researcher".
industry's top researchers are being threatened by lawyers and law enforcement over their efforts to track down vulnerabilities in internet infrastructure.
Yes, it's surprising when companies get bent out of shape when random "security researchers" hack into their systems uninvited.
Sure, it's nice to know if you are vulnerable, but still, it is difficult to take at "face value" when some random "security researcher" claims to have altruistic aimes when caught hacking your network...
He doesn't have the pointy hair necessary to manage the project
And I, a DBA who took a little extra math in college wonder why people don't take me seriously when I pontificate about World Affairs.
You know, it's the same thing with rock stars and famous actors, they start thinking that they are the smartest people in the world who can bring civilization into a uniform fold of unbridled love...

The problem with most private commercial flight companies is that they usually end up serving exactly one customer: the U.S. Government. I don't think it's fair to characterize that as "private." The harsh fact is that, aside from satellite launches, there is pretty much no reason for any other entity to go into space
Believe it or not, the US Government (and other governments as well) are not the only people launching satellites or other spacecraft...
Why stop at the moon? Elon Musk is so charismatic that I believe that Tesla now completely dominates the U.S. car market.
I'm probably totally missing the [sarcasm] and [joke] tags on your comment, but the Tesla is certainly the most successful electric car in it's class (or at all right now), and realistically, SpaceX is the most realistic alternative to the Russians. None of the other commercial space companies have anything remotely close to being ready for service; Jeff Bezos' "Blue Trampoline" or whatever he calls it is a "vanity" project that has a long, long way to go to be taken seriously.
People say "six of one, a half dozzen of the other", but I'll still take Google fiber of anything relatd to Comcast. And don't fool yourself, all broadband providers track and profile their users, I might as well get decent high-speed out of the deal.
Even if they drove all the publishers out of business, they still wouldn't be a monopoly because there are plenty of other bookstores, both online and off.
Even if Microsoft drove all the software companies out of business, they still wouldn't be a monopoly because there is plenty of free software...
It's good to see a big company actually fight for better prices for customers.
No, that's not the Amazon plan. In fact, they are trying to drive publishers out of business and force authors to deal directly with them, as the only choice. As the de factomonopoly, they can dictate to the authors what they will pay, and it ain't going to be pretty.
But also, Osteopathy leaps a bit toward the âoealternative medicineâ side of things, it wouldnâ(TM)t surprise me if Osteopaths have some issues with medical articles based on more traditional medicine.
Having said that, how dare these quacks question the accuracy of Wikipedia! Donâ(TM)t they know they can run the gantlet of snooty Uber Editors with âoeownership issuesâ and correct these articles themselves? Of course you can be banned doing thatâ¦

I'm sure you will be modded into -1, but of course you are correct on this point.
Apparently, you are incapable of understanding "humor". Ever see "Up In Smoke"?
Most of the times it is...

This is why we can't have nice things. Companies won't audit themselves, and they get bent out of shape if others do it for them...
You discovered my credit card number. You think it is now OK to run a program to try random PINs until you find the correct one?
Why would you do that?
In the UK, it is a crime (under the computer misuse act) to test a 3rd party system for vulnerabilities.
As it should be. You have no right to hack systems that don't belong to you unless you are asked to do so by the owner.

Apperently, he's an arteeest.
Zazzle is probably erring on the side of not getting sued.
By someone who probably can't afford a decent lawyer to bring a case that would be quickly tossed out of court?
No, Zazzle is simply a bunch of lazy ass wipes.
Solution: Don't use their site. I certainly never have....
So do the cops watching your house.
Only because they drink at the same bar I do, so they know me and look out for me.
How about you?

Steve Ballmer has purchased the LA Clippers for a whopping $2 billion ... This deal is apparently tentative
So, in other words, he has *not* purchased the Clippers (yet).
Shit, just compare Tesla sales to those pussies and Ford, Toyota, and GM and it becomes immediately clear that Tesla FUCKING OWNS the car market now!
Reading comprehension must not be taught in Troll School. With regards to the Tesla, we're talking about electric . Not gas, not diesel, not hybrids.

IE won the browser war...
Did they? All the sources I looked at say Chrome is the leader (followed by IE, then Firefox).

No. Although they do have a huge retail place and a separate Technical Books store, they actually do most of their business on-line.

See, I'm not necessarily upset at Amazon for doing this, as they're being seemingly open and honest about it.
Sure they are. But that doesn't make it right.
Cheap books now, but in the long run, fewer choices.
...that consumers dump Amazon in favor of Powell's Books.
It's difficult to take seriously someone who doesn't understand punctuation and basic grammar.
