    RTFA

    She had a weak 'insecurity question'.

    The attacker guessed where she met her husband, reset the password, and did his thing.

    There is no law against her having and using a personal Yahoo account. However, when she is conducting official business, as the head of the state of Alaska, transparency is required.

    Anonymous is doing us a favor

    Which is one reason I'm rather suspicious of this story, regardless of how much I want it to be true.

    You're doing it wrong.

    See, you're supposed to post that comment when somebody has a significantly higher UID than you, not lower.

    See how funny that is?

  13. Re:Goofy is a dog on Mickey Mouse On Hit List · · Score: 1

    I found that strange also, and it was the source of the discussion. I argued that Goofy was a cow, based on the Pluto issue and because of the fact that he dated Clarabelle.

    In retrospect, I guess that breaking down racial boundaries was kinda appropriate, considering it was the 60s.

    By far the funniest post of the day.

    You, sir, have won the discussion.

  15. Goofy is a dog on Mickey Mouse On Hit List · · Score: 3, Informative

    When I was in Elementary school, I had an argument with a friend about it and actually wrote Disney a letter asking this. About 6 months later (I had long since forgotten), I got the official response and press package, complete with Goofy's biography, actor-style head shots, and a Disneyland brochure.

    The conclusion: Goofy is a dog.
     

  16. Re:This could help with many problems on National Car Tracking System Proposed For US · · Score: 1

    Furthermore, driving is a **PRIVILEGE** granted by the governments who own the roads, and they are free to implement whatever management methods to manage the use of the roads, up to and including the tracking of every single vehicle.

    You're right. I keep thinking that the government is supposed to be 'of the people, by the people, and for the people'. Silly me.

    I may be wrong, but I remember being told that the cameras have IR filters.

  18. Re:The day that happens on National Car Tracking System Proposed For US · · Score: 1

    The cameras are already there.

    I'm actually surprised a system like this isn't already in place. It seems rather obvious- I wrote basic scripts to track people through my office using the security cameras (but didn't deploy them, and they will never see the light of day). It's not that hard to do.

    Regardless, I'll continue to use my current route to and from work, which is not visible to any cameras.

    I guess they could require you to attach some kind of placard to the back of your car with a unique combination of numbers and letters on it....

    I dunno though, the logistics of doing that kind of thing on a large scale are pretty limiting.

    The non-citizen's laws don't apply inside the US (admittedly, the reverse doesn't seem to be true if you're a British hacker).

    I still haven't seen a single example of a US law that shouldn't apply to non-citizens within the US. You have, however, made a lot of noise and personal insults.

    Try being informative, that was all I asked for.

    Here's a probably dumb question.

    Is transoceanic travel by ship feasible anymore? I've always wanted to visit Australia, and have always hated airports, etc. Are there still ships you can do that on?

    Probably you can't avoid the customs bullshit in port either, but I'm wondering if they bother to search laptops and fingerprint everybody that floats in.

    Yeah, it's not really speedy or overly practical, but I'm the type that rides a motorcycle to Cabo, rather than taking a 2-hour flight.
