Ironically, considering the present circumstances, Stratfor was trying to get into what it called the leak-focused "gravy train" that sprung up after WikiLeaks' Afghanistan disclosures:
"[Is it] possible for us to get some of that 'leak-focused' gravy train? This is an obvious fear sale, so that's a good thing. And we have something to offer that the IT security companies don't, mainly our focus on counter-intelligence and surveillance that Fred and Stick know better than anyone on the planet... Could we develop some ideas and procedures on the idea of 'leak-focused' network security that focuses on preventing one's own employees from leaking sensitive information... In fact, I'm not so sure this is an IT problem that requires an IT solution."
You do realize -40C == -40F, right? So there's really no need to go SI on us. (It's okay; you're among friends.)
Just being pedantic.
Well, actually, I was just sitting around, baked out of my mind as I was escaping the mindlessness of our scared society, thinking how Slashdot comments have become the new urban exploration. I shall call it: Urban Exploration 2.0!
Mark "Rent-boy" Renton: It's SHITE being English! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the fucking Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. We're ruled by effete assholes. It's a SHITE state of affairs to be in, Tommy, and ALL the fresh air in the world won't make any fucking difference!
Vasquez: [after barely surviving the humilation of a loose fiber-optic cable] Okay. We have several canisters of neutrinos. I say we go back in there and remeasure the whole fuckin' experiment.
Hicks: It's worth the try, but we don't know if that's gonna affect anything.
Hudson: Let's just bug out and call it even, Mat! What are we even talking about this for?
Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Hudson: Fuckin' A!
Burke: Hold on a second. This installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it.
Ripley: They can *bill* me.
Burke: Okay, I know this is an emotional moment for all of us. I know that. But let's not make snap judgments, please. This is clearly an important experiment we're dealing with and I don't think that you or I, or *anybody*, has the right to arbitrarily kill it.
Ripley: Wrong.
Vasquez: Yeah, watch us.
Hudson: Maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events, but we just got our asses kicked, pal!
Well, according to the article, "Due to increased costs of components and materials, HDD prices are likely to rise 30-40% from the level before the floods by the end of 2012, the sources indicated."
A 30-40% increase is A LOT, esp. given the present and foreseeable economic conditions.
Anyway, how is one supposed to be "efficient" with regards to JPG, MP3, and other highly-compressed file formats?
Good point.
IANAL; my understanding is: in small claims court one can't sue for punitive damages, just actual damages, so this is apparently how the judge arrived at the amount.
Then again, isn't $85 greater than what he was paying per month anyway, so he must be getting some "extra" money above and beyond his actual damages, right?
The customer contract specifies that those who win an award from the company in arbitration will get at least $10,000. Spaccarelli picked the same amount for his claim. Judge Nadel instead awarded him $85 for each of the 10 months left on his contract.
Er, what part of contract law does this Judge not understand?
BitDefender Online Threats Lab, one of the security vendors doing research in this area of cybercrime, uncovered a whole bunch of Flash-based games, colourful and attractive to young kids, which came complete with a trojan that has been designed to appeal to those same youngsters.
The article ends with this:
The moral of this tale? Don't use your laptop as a babysitter, and don't be one of the 24.7% of parents who, according to BitDefender's research, don't supervise their young kids' online activity.
How about not using Flash? (At least not on the kid's account!)
BTW: Did you notice how BitDefender got mentioned a total of four times in seven paragraphs and one pull-quote?

FUCK GODADDY! GoDaddy isn't a solution; it's a rationalization, an excuse for... WHOA! Look at the hooters on her!

So we'll start measuring security in Scoville Units
And we will colloquially refer to the various levels as "Baby," "Posh," "Ginger," "Sporty," (and my personal favorite) "Scary".
Capsicum also debuted, like, years ago.
And appears to be stale:
The website hasn't been updated since 2010.
The latest GitHub code is from 2010.
The "Documentation and Publications" are from 2009 and 2010
And he also doesn't know chilly != chili and papers != peppers.

We might even advance the whole science of measurement.
And metrology, too!

Gene pool filter cleaning as it were. Removing the genes that think like that, has to be good for the race as a whole.
Cheers, Gene

How do you kill that which has no life?
Take away his access to the Internet.
What can brown do for anybody?
Plenty; for one thing it can get you into the Advertising Walk of Fame:
United Parcel Service Inc.'s slogan "What Can Brown Do For You" has delivered a major award.

Hmm, pigeon hunters--say, weren't they also responsible for shooting-down RFC 1149?
Steady-on, Dunbal; no need to drone-on about it!
Say, isn't this the same guy who "invented" RFC 1149?
Let's just hope there aren't any pigeon hunters nearby.
Everybody know's the when Al Gore was a congressman he invented the internet...
And while he was at it, Al Gore invented his namesake--algorithms!
His name is on three separate patents; are these "software patents?" (Presumably he has had a change of mind.)
