now it just brings out the "Dan Brown is the realz" crowd and other conspiracy nutters.
Dan Brown IS real. You Dan Brown deniers are the real conspiracy nuts. "It's a ghost-writer" "It's plagiarized from aliens" "My dog is Dan Brown" Nutters all.
Users or potential customers who now will not buy the game? EA doesn't care; they already sold all their copies to game stores; they just want to kill the title as fast as possible to shift the Heroes team to other products.
Most large corporations have 3-year PC replacement cycle, and get pissed when the new thing is the same as the old thing except for the hardware.
Most large corporations have a staggered, consistently employed 3-year PC replacement cycle, couldn't care less about what software is installed since they're all imaged in-house, and prefer hardware to remain consistent as long as possible.
There's is nothing bad about that prospect except the possibility of government casualties.
And all of the Church's slaves. I'm sure there's some "kill all believers" doomsday scenario that L Ron set up for when the Feds come (it would keep the head honchos on their toes).
Most organized religions have some sort of charitable causes. Doesn't Scientology have any? Dianetics for the poor?
They're a business. Businesses sometimes to charity when they can get a tax break. CoS doesn't need any tax breaks. The poor are poor because they have too many thetans to work in Gold Base and make $50 a week.
And that topic is that Scientology apparently enslaved this person.
And not misguided Scientologists, not a subsidiary of CoS, the CoS. With the Catholic diversion posts, an argument can be made that the Catholic Church and Catholic (Cristian) faiths are not one in the same. With the CoS, their heavy copyright on the faith documents means that Scientology and Church of Scientology are one in the same.
It isn't religion that is the problem, it is organization and trust. Take any group of trusted people and you will find that a minority want to use their trust for personal gain.
And Scientology was built to (c)overtly abuse that trust. The majority of Scientologists want to use trust for personal gain.
It's like Windows has to power the externals off and on several times before it will let me log in.
Yep, Windows USB detection is dumb as rocks. Unplug your USB keyboard or mouse some day and stick it in another USB port. New device detected! Loading drivers!
Uh, it isn't the "outside" exploits. It's all the unpatched programs and OS components that interact with data received from the net...
i.e. USERS.
If the machine is completely firewalled and left alone, there is no data getting to the OS components (other than the firewall). That leads into the possible issue for the GP: if the firewall is implemented incorrectly such that a specially crafted packet can screw with the firewall, then you could have an issue.
But I'll bet college professors hear about a lot more hard drive crashes than anyone else ever does.
Legitimately, yes. Students these days often work on laptops, shut the cover, and throw them in a chair after working through the night on a paper. They also rarely back up their stuff because they've never experienced data loss before. Not that it's a good excuse, but they're usually not lying, just careless.
Ever notice how repeating a word makes it sound like a word you've never heard? Topic topic topic topic topic. This comment has been topic-adjacent to avoid the on-topic/off-topic conundrum. Topic.
That could easily be 15 people, one "location" revealed per GPS heartbeat for the full year+month. Or a slightly larger number of people tracked for smaller periods of time. No, I didn't read the article, but 8,000,000 sounds ridiculously high for individual requests.
The most ridiculous thing is the part where Mr. Lawyer claims that what a firefighter gets paid for "is the relatively small, but crucial, amount of time he spends walking into a burning building with an ax."
Yeah, because there's no one who gets payed to keep the engines in service, gear inspected, buildings inspected, etc. The Lawyer is wrong about every part of his analogy.

Impropriety.
Do you not know the length of time between XP and Vista?
XP and Windows 7? What's Vista?
Will the eight be tipped on its side to make an infinity symbol?

The link is at least more likely than to Leonardo da Gary Indiana.
or Leonardo da Ninja Turtle

Jeez, that's worse than razorwire. Those things look like they can kill!

Have you ever put a square mustache on El Ron? It'll shock the thetans right out of you.
Is the barbed wire on the inside or outside of the top of the fence? The way it leans tells a story.

I hope Lindstein is telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
I hope he's lying, and that they really aren't that terrible. But if they are, CoS will soon have its own Waco.

King is a right-wing demagogue... he'll say whatever he thinks will appeal to his blue-collar Irish Catholic base.
Aren't blue-collar Irish Catholics generally union members (D)?
I read it as a guarantee that they'll replace every disk no matter how it's destroyed. They even imply they'll pay shipping.
Most employers I've worked with have given a day of "comp" time in exchange for a week on-call
...and that day of comp time you're expected to be on call too?
