On a serious note, "...22 million people 22 MILLION, including some who had merely applied for government employment or contract work in the last 10 years." I vote it should be a criminal offense to keep personal data any longer than necessary for processing -- after which time it should be...

Had to laugh as I clicked on your link to the video of "Don't be like this guy" clicking on a link. It was a sardonic, bitter laugh, not a carefree one BTW.

“The notion of banning weapons in space rests on being able to define them," Krepon also noted. "I haven’t yet heard a definition that’s verifiable and meaningful when dealing with these multiple-purpose technologies.” Can't we define an object in space as a weapon by it's use? This sounds a...

There's one thing every poster seems to have overlooked so far: the sensitivity of the equipment being used in the search. The Wow signal picked up in '77 turns out to have required a 2.2GW radio transmitter (compare this to a reasonably powerful US radio station WCBS uses a 50kW transmitter)...

Any legal action by WMF should include a subpoena of the list of clients, which should be made public...?

Zimbabwe?

This is a bit of a crap ruling actually... Last week I was stuck trying to post to a forum but I kept getting the message "Sorry Guest, you are banned from using this forum! BAN due to spam from this IP range." However... by turning my modem off and back on again I can get a new IP address...

I disagree with you. There once was a UK politician called Martin Bell, who stood in Parliament in the UK on an "anti-sleaze" ticket. He didn't have ANY policies as such - but he won in a landslide victory as an independent politician in (previously) the safest seat in the country (?) -...

Nope you are wrong. I used to work with these systems. Your location information is retained in case you commit a crime in the future. For example if a car bomb goes off, the FIRST thing the pigs want to know is what time it was parked and what route it took through the city to get there...

US is only "at war" in the "cold war" sense. The document referred to in this article says "prepare for offensive cyberwarfare operations."

I haven't got past line 1. Shriek! "to-appropriate?" Surely you meant "too-appropriate?"

Slightly OT: Kim Dot Com just tweeted "Big reveal: 1 billion+ Two-Step-Authentications on the Internet weekly. I invented it. Here's proof: https://t.co/LaYEd5Gzsd" "I never sued them. I believe in sharing knowledge & ideas for the good of society. But I might sue them now cause of what the...

Something has gone wrong though: the IIA (who, on a different site, are alleged to have precipitated this debacle by proposing a novel use of 313s to black hole IPs), when they announced it (http : / / iia. net. au/ content/ internet-industry-moves-blocking-child-pornography) said "The scheme...

"it seems to be taking a broad, confused view of who's responsible. The lawsuit not only names the woman's ex-boyfriend, but also four websites she says hosted the pictures—and even their Web hosting companies." It may be standard legal practice in the US _under some circumstances_ in cases...

" the only way to break this kind of thinking..." NO IT WON'T. People (generally) either don't think, or are pathologically disinterested in computer security (they will actually suffer rather than understand), or lack the knowledge/ability to look after themselves. The real solution is to...

PROBLEM: The article says the laws aren't working. People (especially the younger generation) are glued to their phones these days. This is all to do with *the way* people use their phones, which implies there is a design solution to the problem that is killing people; however, the mobile...

IF (as I believe) the increase has something to do with Bitcoin entering public perception and people (not nerds) buying them, then IF instability is the 'current' issue, it won't be for much longer, because large numbers of ordinary people hanging on to quantities of bitcoin will tend to...

I'm inclined to disagree with you there (on the point that the difference between a sit in and a DDOS is one person vs tens of thousands of packets) because, as Spamhaus shows, to have the on-line equivalent of a sit-in, you need to use more than 350Gb/s sustained bandwidth.

Amazing logic though. By analogy this is like saying "Mr x showed up for a political protest rally. As a result of 10,000 people being present, including Mr x, this investment bank couldn't do business, so Mr x has to go to jail for 2 years (edit: up to 10 years)." This is wrong (is it?)...

I need to make some straightforward changes that require the Administrator password on my PC at work but IT support won't give the password to me (I'm sure that's because it's the same on every PC they support), nor will they fix the problem because iot involves "coming out". Now I am cracking...
