Further flaws will not be reported

It would seem that this company is asking for trouble. If one hole has been advised to them and this is how they react, then would in their right mind would inform them of further holes in their obviously flawed software? No one.

Documents are more dangerous than guns

Or at least that's the impression the US Gov seems to want to give. I am ashamed that my government (UK) continues to support this madness.

Shocking

Now that's what you call justice with bludgeon.

Did Comcast sack the employee? If not, why not?

Also, they should have given these "hackers" a job. Looks like Comcast are in serious need of some technical skills.

Vast improvement on the Crossley response.

I note the lack of cockiness in their response to the non-attack.

Perhaps...

Raisley should have taken the legal route, and it would be Von wossiname in jail now.

RAD without checks and balances...

...creates software that is over-priced and incorrect.

Robot talk - "Must. Use. Computers. For. Everything."

Packaging from hell

Well, if you going to sell an expensive toy, you may as well increase your environmental costs by having huge clear plastic boxes in which to hold the tiny plastic boxes.

Oh that's really clever isn't it?

Throw a schizophrenic software developer into jail for refusing to hand his private data? This country is the pits.

I always hated Zuckerburg

Will the execution be shown on Facebook?

Advertisers should perhaps change their business model?

If the only way to do business is to spy on customers, then I don't want to do business with them.

Advertising is bunk anyway, it's going the way of the dinosaur.

Phew...

Thankfully I deleted my Facebook account a few days ago, I'll never have to hear about this again.

Thank goodness for traffic-shaping.

If anything goes wrong, it's okay your ISP can just shape your traffic and ruin your enjoyment of the game.

They should have embraced the BitTorrent protocol years ago and saved themselves millions in bandwidth costs, but no.

Subsidise the rich!

So basically, the Australian tax-payer is subsidising the "cyber-security" of privately-owned banks, and utility companies.

Close it down

As long as they give Adam & Joe a show somewhere else, I don't mind what they do.

500 years too late

Who are the Church trying to kid? I for on, am not fooled by their outdated "respect"

Oh class!

That is just brilliant! I wonder how and who came up with this over at PETA? Did they find some staff playing Mafia Wars during work time?

PETA Boss: "What is this they are playing? Mafia Wars? And they have attack pitbulls?! This is a disgrace, they should be working! I mean, they shouldn't use animals like that in a game! Yes, this has nothing to do with our workers/volunteers slacking off during working hours."

Let's hope their computers won't be able to run Read Dead Redemption when it comes out on PC.

If this is highly unlikely?

Then why has it happened to me on both XP, Vista, and 7?

The reason, Mr. MS Spokesperson, that someone would install IE8 and not configure it, is rather obvious to anyone that has even an inkling about Windows Security (or lack thereof).

I install IE8 and never configure it because if I have the latest IE, I am more secure than with earlier versions.

So this is extremely common MS, don't kid yourselves.

Oh Nominet

"The non-profit body"

Really? So why do they suspend domain names and charge £80 to unsuspend each one, and you still have to pay for renewal on top?

They must have champagne and oysters for lunch every day.

I try to avoid .uk domains, .com's are best always will be, no stupid Paper Certificate sent out for every registered domain. They really must be milking it if they can afford to send out these fancy, but ultimately worthless certs.

What do you expect?

This is how our education system works. Don't actually instill any kind of work ethic in the new generations, instead just make the exams easier and easier in an effort to improve grades across the board.

Mind you, if I were a kid just out of school, I certainly wouldn't be bloody working if I could get away with it. You're supposed to have fun when you're a young adult, go travel, see the world, live from bins, not bow to the pressure of your older peers.

Anyway, with the amount of money our ancestors have paid out to all these international mega-corporations, I think it's about time they started spreading the love (and cash) a bit more. :D

My dog will never be chipped.

I don't care how hard you try to demonise all canines, I ain't paying you any money.

Incredible

Hey I know they're only trying to sell papers and make a living in the tough new digital world of shared media, but to try and destroy the small guys customer base for something completly legal? Oh if this wasn't moderated I'd be...

Doesn't matter, they're on the losing side, maybe they can apply for a position at the dear ol' reg?

Funny

I seriously doubt that PC manufacturers and OS manufacturers are going to stop what they're doing in three years, oh you'd like that wouldn't you, Google?

I don't have a "dumphone" now, and I won't in three years, some of us have big fingers and broken eyes you know!
