Ignoring the rape comparison, I would be happy they admitted it. Would you prefer they pretend it didn't happen, and go "la la la la we didn't see it"?
All my cards already got compromised. Whee. I think some merchant somewhere was doing exactly what the PCI-DSS council says not to do.
Fortunately they all have 'zero liability' - wonder how long that will last? In my case, the best the hackers got were deactivated card numbers and a password that just became useless.
2. Even if his brother was actually convicted, THAT DOES NOT GIVE THEM THE RIGHT TO TRACK ANY RANDOM OTHER PERSON! Whether that's his brother is irrelevant! Period.
No? He's a person of interest. If the judge decides that's enough to issue a warrant, well, tough cookies for you I guesS?
3. Any rule saying they are not required to tell you they have a warrant IS ITSELF A CRIME! Yes. It. Is.
No. It's. Not.
Why? Well to be blunt, because there's no law saying it is. But why isn't there? Because when you're investigating someone, you generally don't tell them that. Why? Because if you're innocent, you'll just get pissed off. If you're not, well, guess who's destroying evidence...?
Or are you one of those cattle who have no own sense of right and wrong and only consider that a crime what your opinion maker / master tells you?
I agree. There are several that I want. What annoys me is they keep getting flagged as spam by all the other dipshits who ignore 'unsubscribe' functionality (from actual companies they've done business with - this is the important part) and flag it as spam instead.
Now, I can understand whining, but why people like to go around whinging their genitals online I just do not get.... see the difference? Also, get your ass back to 4chan, that speak isn't welcome here.
You forget botnets, worms, viruses, etc. They don't care if you buy anything, and even worse a good chunk of those work just from accidentally (or intentionally) viewing the email (if you are still vulnerable to their payload).
Where I worked once, our whole office complex's main breaker was not only unlocked, but open to and visible from the street and unguarded/unwatched. You could shut the WHOLE THING down. Hilariously, the individual breakers for tenants were locked.
Now, I know you might thing that might not actually be the master - maybe only for this part of the building... but we did look at the plans and talk to facilities, because it made us nervous, and they did confirm it.
I could understand this kind of thing at a residence, but in an office building?! Yikes.
They are welcome to try after yanking the battery.. it's not hard to disappear from the view of that particular eye, should you wish. If you are truely paranoid, you could also keep it in one of those metallic anti-static bags.
You know, just in case they have a "backup battery" or some super-capacitor to run the stuff off when you pull the battery </sarcasm>
Yea, because it totally couldn't be any of the hundreds or thousands of OTHER executive branch staff responsible. Didn't you know that not everything goes through the Oval Office?
So, and if your application doesn't do anything with the content unless some magical condition is met? It would just be reading an HTTP GET. Hardly something for Apple to look closely at.
So, the application checks stocks, including the author's own custom stock thingy on his website. Looks pretty innocent.
But if, for example, an HTML comment is on the page with a CRC of 42, it will look for the second comment, which contains the new code. It acts on this.
this initial comment is only there about an hour, about a week after the app has been on sale.
You now have "control" over a whole smegload of phones, and not much of an indication of what you did.
Only deep analysis of the application's code would reveal this kind of thing.
If I can think of this, I'm sure a real cracker could, too.

Yep. That's called a reference transaction. Someone needs to go do some homework before continuing to accept credit cards.
as every time I close out a Steam game I am bombarded with a multi-page post of the latest deals and new releases.
Sounds like you don't like this.
1. Steam Menu
2. Settings
3. Interface Tab
4. Uncheck the "Notify me..." box near the bottom
They did? I never got that one myself.
Yea, and how many people you think probably use the same password? Not everyone knows of such things as keepass.

Yea, and they want top dollar people for bottom dollar pay.
Lets pick your idiocy apart...
1. ALLEGED drug dealer.
OK, this one's good.

The sheep calls me cattle, how interesting.
You don't. Only when you're doing something Bad (and a few times randomly when you're not, so you don't make a pattern they can follow)
Deck the halls with heads of spammers!...

Unfortunately that might just be "up" their "alley" - you can't use something quite so vanilla.
Well, I'd say whining would be a much better start than whinging, but that's just me.

Commerce isn't the majority of spam these days... most of it (that I've ever seen that is) is worm chatter. Bots trying to spread the infection.

Yea, go ahead and do that. We'll see you in 15 years or so.
You must have missed the part where they aren't required to tell you they have the warrant. We don't know if they did or not.
Yea, because it totally couldn't be any of the hundreds or thousands of OTHER executive branch staff responsible. Didn't you know that not everything goes through the Oval Office?
Nothing special, just an implementation of HRTF.
Ah, but there's a threshold level where you've definitely been shot vs you definitely have not.
So, you could argue that they are binary.
I like how the GVCS has all these computer controlled tools.... and nowhere in the list is a computer.
