Re: Old saying!

Technically, a lot of them didn't buy Cisco.

Re: Thunderbolt

But then there would have been a space in the name...

Re: But...how??

Might be: Some girls like girls.

So attacker finds saucy pictures on Alice's (who is into girls) drive, and Alice knows Carol and Diana (also into girls - note the "details on their female friends" part).

Then Bob pretends to be Alice and sends Carol and Dinah a saucy e-mail suggesting pics for pics.

Easy to compute from here.

Just guessing though.

Re: 2600 want free articles too

"Oh, and send you 4 issues for your trouble."

So not exactly 'free' then?

Re: Not good news...

Hopefully, the executions will be carried out by certified executioners.

Re: kidney harvesting scheme

Yep, those ready to abduct you and cut you open to harvest your kidney will definitely check your Facebook profile beforehand, and find another victim, if you haven't given your permission.

Re: Nasty!

"If that's a full charge in 5 minutes, you'll be lucky if you battery (or phone) survives for long."

The charger can't force the phone to charge faster than it's build for. Electronics in the phone takes care of that, so it'll drain 1 Ah (probably), no matter how many Ah the charger is able to deliver.

5 minutes will NOT give a full charge.

So now there are one moron less on Facebook then?

Or the page uses some kind of Google service like Google Analytics.

Did you RTFA?

Yes, I can see how Photoshop "is very industry-specific" to a "firm specialising in call management software".

@tfewster

"And every technical word. Unless you've trained your spellchecker over many years.."

Or just used a few minutes more, to check the spelling (and to ad the words the spell checker didn't recognize), when you wrote the CV.

They are not trying to sell you anything - you are the product!

Well...

If the train builders made trains that had features specifically designed to help the Nazis ship people to concentration camps (and had a power point boasting 'jew detecting features'), I probably would.

"There are far more important things to be getting on with than updating our operating systems ..."

Such as handeling malware etc . as a result of NOT keeping your operating system updated?

You are kidding, right? Right? Right?

@NomNomNom:

"All movies are based on events that happened in the past, not the future."

That goes for all ScFi movies? LIke '2001: A Space Odyssey' that was released in 1968? I'm so confused right now.

(I'm using the Icon you should have chosen).

Agree on the terminal velocity thingy, but...

Probably not a lot of skydiving being done in vacuums.

Don't Panic!

No, your email messages are totally secure: Yahoo! has a copy.

Who knew?...

There are signatures in German Sprouts?

Just guessing

Here's how tey COULD do it:

If n<5:

Try four times. Wait for the user to login (=post to Twitter), thus resetting the counter. Try four times. Repeat.

OR IF the user don't login, wait an hour (counter is reset after an hour according to http://support.twitter.com/entries/63510-i-m-locked-out-after-too-many-login-attempts) before trying four times again.

But, more likely, they've used a social hack or someone re-used the same password on other sites.

The trick

The trick is to find the point where:

money made < money spend on publishing

at the time where the publication is banned from sale.

The letters are digits, and must contain title and/or required.

@ Scorchio!!

"Truly, though why no one in PBS had the common sense to check with their IT people that the doors were locked properly beats me..."

And what did you expect the IT people to answer?

"Oh, pease don't air that documentary. We have to secure our servers first, otherwise know as 'something we should have done in the first place'"

?

Ehm...

Yep, the average user will totally do that.

At least 3 antivirus/anti-adware packages?

More than one antivirus package?

You really should consider having two computers: One that you use for doing stuff, and another for running all that conflicting software.

What smell?

Surely, a spaceship is air- and smelltight?
