Actually, yes, luggage as well as shipped items are "lost" all the time. Police, security guards, customs, inspectors, etc. are rampant with corruption.
This is why Russia has yet to have a true capitalist recovery: every lucrative business attempt is nickeled and dimed to death by thefts and rackets.
Just like the x times less phrase, the "by a factor of X times" phrase just makes me wish that Slashdot would implement last-chance review before an editor is allowed to post.

Unnecessary if you are in the US, or a country with similar consumer-protection laws. You are allowed to open the product at the store to inspect it prior to purchase.
If they object to having to repackage (e.g. shrink wrap it again), tough cookies, especially if you fully intended on purchasing the product and found it to be faulty.
Legerov said. For example, he said, “there will be published two years old Realplayer vulnerability soon, which we handled in a responsible way [and] contacted with a vendor.”
I think that apparently the vendors aren't doing a damn thing to patch a good amount of these reported vulnerabilities if they are being reported in a proactive manner. Seems as if once the exploits are running rampant in the wild then the vendors scramble to develop patches
It's most likely a case of resource management and insufficient resources available.
One word can solve the difference between responsible reporting and 0-day motivation:
embargo
The reporting security group still goes through responsible reporting methodology, but add proposed date the details will be reported more fully to the public.
I work for an enterprise-level network device manufacturer, and anyone in that line of work knows damn well that remote vulnerabilities are the harbinger of death if they're not addressed in a timely fashion. Yet, motivation to assign resources to fix it still relies (in part) on whether there is a public exploit or not. So it's with that background that I can say that embargoes work.
We don't know the details, but apparently Intevydis didn't give embargo dates along with their reported vulnerabilities. Now they see what kind of motivation that produces, and so they've set a pseudo-embargo: any time between Jan. 11th and Feb. 1st.

This isn't just funny, it's also a serious point! TFA has nothing to do with user-unfriendly parking meters. The poster (theodp) is just an angry Chicagoan posting his slant on Slashdot.
TFA does have a point -- Chicago and other cities are getting ripped off by an unholy alliance between city government and private companies to perform parking enforcement.
But it has nothing to do with user-unfriendly parking meters.
To compare, Seattle has replaced its parking meters with similar type meter (ones that accept both coins and cards, and dispense proof-of-purchase stickers). Lots of people love this kind of machine. It makes payment much easier. Walking 1/2 block? What a joke, any urbanite is used to a lot more walking than that.
So... In my opinion, the easiest way fix to your problem with coverage in the boonies is to go visit a verizon store, and just bite the bullet on the BS craptacular locked-down handset they will give you. At least you'll be able to use your phone to... you know... make phone calls...
I used to read Google News exclusively, then I stopped (well, relegated it to minority status) in favor of other news sites for some reasons:
More and more stories seem to be opinion pieces / glorified blogs, not genuine news.
Because of the 15-minute refresh interval, top stories can rotate out before you've had a chance to go see it.
The RSS feed doesn't seem to be organized by any sensible order; important top news would be a good starting point, at least.
Every new organization has different standards for story depth; using Google News gives you inconsistent coverage because it doesn't seem to take story depth into account when choosing a source to link to.
And most irritating of all, sometimes the source being linked to wants you to register / login and possibly pay for subscription. I'm not against subscribing in order to pay for the effort, but I'm not going to pay subscription to every news site that Google News links to.
And besides, a local newspaper provides you local-interest stories that can be important to know, in addition to the same kind of news that Google News collects.
Seems like buying books for cash is more anonymous than leaving an e-commerce trail.
I supposed it depends on how big a town you live in.
The problem is the physical medium itself. If you purchase a bodice ripper, for instance, the book's cover looks awfully eyebrow-raising when found in your bookcase at home when friends, colleagues and family members visit. (Just imagine how awkward it is having your mother over for a holiday, and she gives you a red-faced knowing stare after curiously looking at your book collection.)
You'd have to do something a bit inconvenient (like putting the book in your closet) to give it a good hiding and overcome awkwardness.
"Books" that have no physical cover, of course, don't have that problem. Just be sure not let people read the screen over your shoulder at inopportune times! If you use the text-to-speech feature (play an MP3 audiobook version), you can use headphones when you're not alone.
There's usually no inherent copyright (or other legal) interest in configuration of an ADC (application delivery controller) than there is in the configuration of the routers or switches that inhabit the very same network environment. (An exception to this would be script programming, but I've encountered very few copyright claims regarding ADC scripting.)
Now, if a customer doesn't have their own ADC but does have a vital interest in being able to our-live the relationship with their provider, obviously they should either:
Design the ADC configuration themselves and have the provider put it in place, or
Allow the provider to design the configuration but require that they export (or at least allow access to) the configuration data.
Disclaimer: I work for an ADC manufacturer, although I have no relationship to a provider or customer.

So, why is this article on /. ?
Not for long.
increase by a factor of more than ten times
Just like the x times less phrase, the "by a factor of X times" phrase just makes me wish that Slashdot would implement last-chance review before an editor is allowed to post.
For reference, "ten times" is a factor of 1.

+1 informative!

Your impressive list of Verizon's virtues seems a little suspicious.
Especially when you seem rather sympathetic or unusually knowledgable.
And most irritating of all, sometimes the source being linked to wants you to register / login and possibly pay for subscription. I'm not against subscribing in order to pay for the effort, but I'm not going to pay subscription to every news site that Google News links to.

Until then, expect your "sent" folder to be full of unexpected messages. Like the following. :)

Thanks to the Sheriff filing a lawsuit about it, prostitution posts on Craigslist will now receive more attention than ever before.
Freedom is being able to do what you want to do without having to hide it.
Hiding is what precedes freedom.
Otherwise premature openness can get you shot down.
