I second this! TJX used default passwords and several other bad practices and kept on once they knew they had a problem. Had they taken the public's data security seriously, this guy would likely never had been able to do what he did here.
When you can sit outside and type Username: (Name of manager inside) and Password: admin, wirelessly and then get credit card data from the registers which is not supposed to be stored, then yes it is YOUR fault that this happened as well. Especially when those same registers are linked directly to the main servers with surprise, default passwords!
If I open the door and tell everyone come get this other persons shit, then I am liable as well. It is sad that TJX isn't in this case. I have even heard of someone in my area who were able to trace their trouble to TJX, as they rarely used the card. I asked if they shopped there and yup, that was the only place they had used the card in since the beginning of the year before that.
Anyone had the Pepsi and Mountain Dew "'Throwback" editions? It was made with beet and cane sugar, and people online said it reminded them of the old days. It got a little flatter quicker, but it may not have had the same carbonation levels. I know this much, it tasted better and not near as syrupy (eeewww). It was last year for a limited time and from Dec.-Feb. this year. I found some earlier this month for the first time at store near me off of an exit of the interstate that didn't have much else around it. More expensive, but I think it was well worth it!
The girlfriend has a cat that will take your straw out of the cup (sometimes not knocking it over) and will bring it to your feet over and over playing fetch.
That and the fact that when you use the double rolls and the over placement they tend to bump into the wall and the friction causes the paper to tear prematurely. So then you have to make a decision. Is that enough sheets, or do I want to try to stack it on top of what you already have, and then balance it while you try to get it behind you. (Sometimes there are multiple attempts stacked...) If it falls off in the process (you may not notice... what I have heard anyhow) you won't have enough paper for it to do it's job and protect your hand. Or you could of course use a little more and wrap it around what you already have and negate the stack approach, but by then you have often used as much as you would have had the paper not been torn and possibly clog the toilet.
Yes, yes I know I have over analyzed this. But I buy double rolls to save money and time. I can't get the girlfriend to put it the way I like it, and so I either switch it, or carefully think about not ripping the paper. It has now become that I see the roll balanced on top of the last empty one because she knows I will likely turn it around, and she won't just do it the way I like. So now the situation has gone and got to be more trouble than it was worth! C'est_la_vie...
This is just another extension of crap being pulled by politicians, like the FSC in cigarettes. To save "some" people's lives they endanger the rest of us (nevermind that the cherries fall out and therefore not really safer, it is about control) and allowing that to happen as we can see is opening the door to telling us what we can eat. We are going to be forced one day to eat rat burgers, ala Demolition Man before to long.
I agree they had a crappy editor so I did not renew last year. However, how do YOU know it is all in his head? Are you saying there is no way on earth that it could be based on something real? Science is not perfect, the whole world has believed things that eventually science was able to prove earlier science wrong.
I consider anyone in favor of massive deregulation to be pro-big-business. A completely free market almost invariably degrades to monopoly given enough time.
You have a (small) point, but could it be that the regulations we have now are in fact encouraging monopolies? I think he is more against that sort of thing and allowing free markets to work as described in principal instead of having knee-jerk reactions to "legislate" fairness. Once you have so much regulation you in fact make it hard for anyone but a corporation that can afford a legal team to operate legally.
The point of my post is that although adding poison to anything is a bad thing to do, I have absolutely no pity for smokers who are poisoning themselves and everyone else around them with their filthy habit. It's like complaining that the government is mandating adding cyanide to rat poison.
The point of your post is that although adding poison to anything is a bad thing to do, you should also have absolutely no pity for drinkers who are poisoning destroying their lives and everyone else around them with their filthy habit. (Disclaimer, I do not really feel this way, just showing a similar point of view.)
It's like complaining that the government is mandating adding cyanide to rat poison.
Which may indeed be a relevant complaint. Rat poison usually requires that rats go looking for water in order to "activate" the poison, and most times that water is away from the house. No one likes dead smelly rats in their walls.
This is relevant to your point in that smokers were not even made aware that their cigarettes are likely more dangerous. It's bullshit. Anything is addictive without moderation, and other stimulants are not like nicotine.
Look, a government should never pass legislation to makes things more dangerous for anyone, period. What's next (and there will be), automatic ejector seats because you are speeding, condoms that expand (getting stuck) to decrease bursting and make sex safer? (Ok that is the best I can do at the moment, I know I fail.) This was done without the publics general knowledge. I am pretty sure anything that we the people want to have made into a bill and passed will be voiced. Anything else is just there for some power-trip or worse agenda.
Sure you would. You'd risk your life if the situation arose. You just aren't cut out for the boring stuff, like, say, collecting names to put a candidate you can agree on the ballot, or joining or finding a party to steer it towards a less bad direction, or whatever. You won't give a little bit of your time, but you're certainly willing to give it all.
Actually no,I am not cut out for some of what you call the "boring stuff". I have a life, and while politics are important to me, with everything else in said life I can't allow it to consume me. My family believes I spend too much time already... Besides, I am more interested in looking for solutions to allow for changes to the system, or figuring out how to get wanted candidates attention. That happens to be how my mind works and how I stayed insterested and not fall back to becoming cynical. Are you okay with that?!? Plus with my health, going out to get names isn't a real option for me. Excuses? No, just trying to be efficient.
Right. Calling yourself a patriot on Slashdot is you living dangerously. I'm sure there's a man in black reading this conversation right now, ticking items and updating your score ever closer to the mark where you'll disappear. "Talk his girlfriend out of voting for Obama, did he? Strrrrike one! Oh wait, he didn't vote for anyone 'cause he doesn't like any of 'em? Strrrrike two!" Better be careful there buddy, you're treading a minefield.
Seriously, are you nuts? Or so full of unwarranted self-importance that you think anyone pays attention to someone who can't even get off his ass to vote? Sorry to burst your bubble, but complaining to your girlfriend that all of the candidates suck doesn't make you a threat to anyone.
Getting unwanted attention can be dangerous. You seem to believe that their are not people who would kill you if they deemed you a threat to rocking the boat. Self-important? Damn right I am. One person can move mountains (or at least help convince others to assist) - See Mahatma Gandhi for one. Am I paranoid? Perhaps, but it isn't paranoia if it's true. Maybe I just know more (real world, not mainstream media's accounts) about politics than you do.
I might be a judgmental asshole... but I voted. So when all is said and done, I've done something and you've just said you would. Thus I fart in your general direction, loudmouth.
I see you continue and even admit it. Ah well, admitting you have a problem is the first step. So you are saying that since I did not vote, I could in no way contributed anything, and even more so no way more (that actually counts) than you? Is that what you are saying? Because I have certainly done things politically lately.
Now go cry to your girlfriend that I suck and she shouldn't add me to her friends, or man up and add me to your foe list, so you can get some experience in voting. It might not be much, but it's still better than just whining about me online.
The only time I ever cried when anyone sucked was for the Saints. But we see that I have no more reason to cry. (cheese - cough, cough) Ugh, I forgot you ripped one.
I don't need to add someone to my foe list to remember an asshole, Ultranova. Maybe I want to see what kind of "crap" your spouting off. Lastly, whose whining besides you, that I didn't vote and am therefore possibly worse than a coward or greedy miser?
And why is it that a corporation should have any lobbying power at all? Shouldn't it be the people that work for or own the company? Let them do it in person, as us individuals would do.
Why does deciding not to vote for the lesser of two evils anymore (and therefore still vote for evil) equate to not wanting to make a difference? Could it be that I just HAD ENOUGH, and am looking for ways that actually count and matter? Really, the question you need to answer is why should I vote for anyone I do not like? Just to say I voted? Should I get a cookie?
Wow, I was the guy that didn't vote and even had you as a friend!;) Seriously though, I was too young to know and understand the words to this song when it came out, but I have always liked the music. I appreciate you bringing it up, more than you know.
As for hiding, you should be careful to assume too much about anyone you don't know. Anyone who would tell you not to stereotype is trying to convince you to pull back your defenses, sure. But we are all individuals in the end and can't always be predicted by throwing into a group.
But maybe you are right. With 2 open heart surgeries and a spine surgery with a rod in my back, perhaps I would stay back to protect the women in children. Would be more logical, don't you think? Course I could be better used perhaps as an expendable scout. That sort of thinking has made me really good at taking point in Counter Strike and other first person shooters. I can often take out 4-5 enemies by myself while my team mates cower behind me.
I think I have made the point that I am not irrelevant, unless you are the opposition. Then by all means, keep thinking that.
I don't think he did. But heh, the Ron Paulilites as they were called are just nutters, just like these new Tea Partiers that Sarah Palin is trying so hard to corrupt and pull to the Republicans. She said they "have" to pick a party. And why can't they just stay their own again?
You are right, my vote really counts when all the candidates suck. Actually I figured I had something better to do. If I had wanted my vote counted, it would have been. I have decided that instead of voting I am going to try to illicit change in other ways, unless of course there is a candidate I REALLY like. (Read one that isn't just lying to me.) Hell I would probably vote for one whose policies I didn't like so much if I thought he would really do it, over someone who tells me what I want to hear. At least I would know what I was buying...
WTF is all I can say to you. I didn't oppose him? I kept my girlfriend from voting for him by telling her what I saw in what he said and did. And she wasn't the only one. Just because I oppose him doesn't mean I will vote for someone else I oppose either, as that isn't logical.
As for me, yea I would do all of those things, seriously. I consider myself a patriot, which is dangerous to say in this day and age considering the threat of "domestic" terrorism. (read reason to detain Americans as is done to those in Guantanamo)
As far as your sympathy, I don't want it. How about giving yourself some for being a judgmental asshole though?
Yea well my candidate didn't make it,. and he was running as a republican. I wish in many ways he'd have stayed 3rd party. When I don't like any candidate, I do not see a reason to vote.
Slashdot Mirror
Exactly! I am like, so astonished! Plus, who would make the 360?

"Ah yes, Cuban B!"

About time, I have been thinking about HL2 and the next episode! But as you have always said Valve, when it's done!
Gimmie, Gimmie Nooooooow!
And why is it that a corporation should have any lobbying power at all? Shouldn't it be the people that work for or own the company? Let them do it in person, as us individuals would do.
Oh, and here is another school of thought. Those that vote, have no right to complain.

There are other ways to express an opinion besides voting. Possibly even more effective.

Ever think about running for office?
I don't think he did. But heh, the Ron Paulilites as they were called are just nutters, just like these new Tea Partiers that Sarah Palin is trying so hard to corrupt and pull to the Republicans. She said they "have" to pick a party. And why can't they just stay their own again?
Amen.
How is my opinion irrelevant? Can you elaborate? Thanks.

If it helps me to learn and expand my mind, then yes that is healthy. Getting absorbed in pron or even real sex for that matter, not so much.
