Please tell me if this sounds right. Hackers have your password (and probably your username). They can get into this site and any others on which you use the same password and (even similar) username. They have all your Linked-in info, therefore finding your FB username, for example, is probably pretty easy.
So, you can:
1) Change your Linked-in password. The security hole may not be fixed yet so you may just be handing them your newer password. Do it anyway with a throwaway password you use just for Linked-in.
2) Change your password on every other site on which you used the same password as you did on Linked-in (but don't change your password on Linked-in to the same thing for reasons above).
Yes, I know, ideally we have a different password for every single site... it's just not practical. I personally have three distinct passwords I use:
simple: for sites I really don't care about
medium: for sites like Linked-in where it would be bothersome if it were breached but there is no credit card info etc.
strong: for sites like banking, ebay, amazon, etc. where access can cost me money.
Any other thoughts as to the current best course of action for those of us with Linked-in accounts?
Or used Google's Domain Mail. Wanna bet that it would cost them less per e-mail account to outsource the whole thing than scaling, and then care and feeding for, their Exchange Server.
If Sony could really be responsible for all the losses created by all the breached credit card information, it might be a good idea to short Sony stock. Think about it, 77M credit cards, $100 average hit, is $7.7B (with a "B") dollars...
For sure not fat fingers! The first time it happened to me on my EVO I thought I had messed up. Since then I *TRIPLE CHECK* the recipient of every SMS I send. Just today it happened again, sent to one person, they didn't respond after a while so I looked at the thread and my message wasn't there. It was at the end of a thread with a different recipient.
I also notice that when the screen is first coming on, if I select a contact from the call log or a thread from the SMS log that sometimes I get a seemingly random one instead (not one just above or below the one I touched, but one not even on the screen).
While I was wasting time getting my Physics degree, just to see the whole tech space outsourced to India and China, these kids were getting the type of education they can count on. Skills like zombie-movie screenplay writing are a smart move in any economy, let's see them outsource that!
This will end poorly (again). It's basically a bunch of business majors managing a poorly understood programming effort, but instead of running things in a development environment they're running it on massive computers and the variables are REAL MONEY. Hiring mathematicians to write their algorithms won't likely help, they will eventually do something stupid, divide by 0, have unbounded growth, or otherwise watch their program crash along with the market.
I'm cashing out everything, buying canned food and ammo and moving to a farm.

Hell yes.
I'm waiting for the next version with 72x and photon cannons.

Generally they ignore the floor rule, and will just wrap their panties around their wrist when on stage to comply with the first (they're still wearing them, just not in the proper location). Every now and then though they'll get pressured to comply, resulting in the panties staying on and the bouncers literally having to carry the girls on their shoulders from stage to stage so that the girl never touches the floor
How did I miss being a domain expert in this field?
Uhm... why take all this so seriously? I mean, what's the big deal getting/giving a lap dance? It lasts one song, everyone is clothed, if you think it means anything then you are a confused customer. A backrub/massage is far more intimate and no one gets all flustered over that, storms out of anything or tells anyone to f-off. In fact, Google had an on staff masseuse for their Engineers all the time back in the day.
Seems like the only complaint to be made here is that there wasn't a male stripper on stand by on the off chance a female attendee showed up.

Scary.
better yet, just print out the waveforms.

then they (okay, "we") end up on slashdot and other online forums where there are no visual cues to miss.
Sure, let's put lawyers in charge of science experiments. After that, imploding into a black would be a relief.

How many free programs do you know of that create
Wal-mart nothing. Ever see a Scottish Sheep Farmer?
