Re: 5 years?
Not a good thing. It's called prosecutorial overreach, and it's rampant and completely out of control. As long as there's no accountability for misconduct and general weaselness clear through outright breaking the law, it will only get worse. Here's the deal, either take it or we'll ruin your life plus maybe a few more so you might as well take it. Ruin your life can be anything from spending years in jail up to and through your trail, spending every cent you and your family and friends can come up with on your defense, being convicted, whatever. Hell, they'll go after your friends and family... and they don't even need to hide it. Who's gonna hold them accountable? Another prosecutor? A judge (ex prosecutor)? Yeah right.
If the prosecutor doesn't like you at just about any level, you're completely and totally fuct.

Patch NOW! Microsoft slings emergency bug fix at Windows admins
Re: ALL YOUR XP BELONG US?
I'm confused, why would this make xp users nervous?
Microsoft said the vulnerable component is in all supported versions of Windows – Vista through 8.1 – and Windows Server – 2003 through 2012 R2. The company has made the fix a critical priority Windows Server systems.

Maybe I'm just getting old, but the image of the burning B-26 you chose to go with the link to this article (under "More From The Register") is, well, questionable.
It's public domain and well used, I get it. The crash and burn reference, I get it. But I also get how it captures one of the last few terrifying seconds on this earth for eight guys who went to England and, thanks to a direct flak hit on Feb 23 1945, never came back.

Is living with Dolby Atmos worth the faff?
They won't stop doing this until it's blatantly obvious that this particular bandwagon, er... cow is dead and even decomposing, i.e. no longer making money....
At which time they will predictably and reliably blame everyone with an internet pipe... since us internet connected bastards are the ones who put all the honest and hard working movie industry little guys in the poor house. You know, the assistant's assistant key grip personal assistant's assistant... with five sick kids at home. I hope all of you feel really shitty for all the little kids you're going to kill here in the not so distant future. You should be in jail.

Re: How did they handle the baggage?
most people will probably carry a spare battery for their digital camera or two....
Or TWENTY FREAKING FIVE of them. This 737 had more lithium than a Dreamliner, thanks to one jerkoff who thinks he's special.
And by the way, they handled the baggage like baggage. They are baggage handlers, after all.

No, Apple has become just as Microsoft as Microsoft. We don't think you need that 2nd display anymore, so we'll just throw a towel over it for you. Maybe we'll take it off in 2 or 3 years so you can have your dual displays again, but then again maybe not. You don't need to save as anymore, so we'll just get rid of that option for you. We want your scroll wheel to go the other way now, so... and so on and so forth.
