The team should take that from Disney, this is just beyond insulting and disgraceful. Disney should be ashamed of themselves for profiting off of the actions of our elite special forces.
I forgot to add, god forbid we actually teach kids to have self respect and to stand up for themselves. If we did so they wouldn't be complacent, mindless, sheep when they grow up.
It's deeply wrong of the victim to say "it's just a piece of plastic." It's that plus an unpunished crime.
What did you expect, he is Canadian after all. Not to mention the fact that our society is constantly pussifying our youth. One example is the hugely popular Diary of a Wimpy Kid franchise that is teaching kids that it is cool to be a pussy. Political correctness has been being pushed in this country for far too long, it is part of the reason much of the world laughs at us.
No, they told him he would have to file a report if he wanted them to do anything. He probably figured it was not worth the time and money to fly back out there just to file a police report, that the police would likely do nothing about. There have been cases like this in NYC before where the police didn't do anything until the media got involved. The police really do not care much about theft, it is low on their todo list.
Most opportunistic thieves are not armed, and I doubt they would pull a weapon on a group of people in a bar. It would be far more likely that the thief would leave the laptop and run if they were scared. Armed criminals tend to commit armed robbery.
why the hell would anyone oppose nuclear power ? I mean I realize pretty faces on the idiot tube are saying this, but have you ever thought about this for yourself ?
Because the average person is an idiot. A student at my college was telling people that the Fukushima nuclear power plant was in danger of exploding and killing a large portion of the world population, quite a few people believed her (and she honestly believed what she was saying). Until we start teaching how nuclear power works early in school the public perception will not change. Just look at "green" energy, people using it think they are saving the world, yet they have no idea how toxic the manufacturing and disposal of those technologies are.
If a band is crowded I doubt anyone is going to make a device that uses it. The industry is also pretty good at making standards, the FCC has nothing to do with those.

When corporations control the government, profits are patriotic.
That's why the state has sales tax.

If you read the article you will see that he did in fact get the laptop back.

So what happened?

I would keep all important data encrypted and leave a separate account for thieves to use. Just name it 'Friends' or something similar.
If your drive encryption scheme doesn't have a boot password/PIN, your encryption can be bypassed.

Does anyone know of any drawbacks to installing Prey?
It looks like you have to pay for a subscription if you want access to the good features.

Salt your lawn and see if anything continues to grow.
I believe that would be pending charges or an active investigation.
Security through obscurity is nothing more than an illusion.
Any time you write an exploit it is a targeted attack.
You forget that salt is toxic, why do you think it is a bad idea to drink sea water?

Modern reactors can use that waste as fuel.
That's why now days I just run this.

And it's not like there aren't ways around WGA too.
If you read the article you will see the XP has 14 infections per 1000 machines while Windows 7 only has 4 infections per 1000 machines.
Windows Vista/7 are already known to be much more secure than MacOS.

Did you know that lists of campaign contributors are public information?
