Where's that guy who sold novelty golf-ball detectors as explosive detectors to the Iraqis for $$$$? Get him on the case!

Re: Rude domains

There was also whitehouse.com (porn) catching the unwary looking for whitehouse.gov.

Of course nowadays I'd be wary of the content of the .gov site, given the reputation of its current occupant.

Re: So long...

Passwords are here: vivaldi://settings/passwords

I prefer it to Chrome (and to an extent Firefox) mainly because it can do vertical tabs.

Even better, they could get up and unionise...

Re: An ounce of prevention.

The NoScript (if it's been updated for Firefox Quantum by now) or maybe uMatrix Firefox extensions should enable you to selectively block the mining scripts.

Re: Earth shard

Possible but very unlikely, based on flight path analysis:

"Here we investigate the possibility that the asteroid 1I/2017 U1 actually is a Solar System object, currently expelled from the Solar System by the recent encounter with a Solar System planet. We show that this possibility is extremely unlikely and that 1I/2017 U1 really is an interstellar object."

Meh, I'll wait for Netcraft to confirm it.

Re: Prior Art

Oh ghod, we used to be forced to watch that at least once a year throughout elementary school - along with a number of Grimm fairy tales faithful (in every gory detail) to the original text. Oh yes, the Disney version of Sleepy Hollow, too, which still gives me nightmares.
