sounds like a good idea

if it were true and the vaccine contains this chip, it would instantly double the intelligence of the idiots who believe these theories

Can he claim diplomatic immunity?

Just asking the question.

It seems anyone is the US can so maybe we have a reciprocal agreement?

Have you any idea how much sleep I have lost waiting for this?

>.< that much! The little tiny dot between > and <.

In fact, it's taken me more time to explain how much sleep I have lost than the actual amount of sleep I have lost waiting for someone to invent this

Where does Mike Tyson buy his boar?

Just asking for a friend

Customer loyalty/ Yeah Right!

I was a loyal sky customer for years, I had to buy my own sky HD box because they didn't have any stock for existing customer, they were giving them away to new customers.

When they finally decided to connect my HD box, it turned out to be a bug infested turd that crashed at least once a week, couldn't cope with sky's endless "mid-season" breaks and randomly stopped recording half way through a series anyway.

The icing on the cake was when Sky said all new customers would get a free tv the same week they told me that my bill was going up £10 a month and if I wanted the new TV box, make it an extra £40 a month.

my response was 2 words, 7 letters, 2nd word was "off"

Why the need to put a forces angle on this?

Why the need to say he is an ex-TA?

Why not say he is an ex-teenager or ex-student or ex-child?

This has nothing to do with the forces, they didn't make this guy into a sex offender.

it would be more relevant to say "ex-child of really bad parents who couldn't instil any decent moral values into their brat....."

people in glass houses....

I love how Google are shit hot at telling the world about other companies flaws and use the same such high standards in keeping their Android app store in order... oh wait

Never mind...

Deflecting the blame much?

I think what is happening here is some high up bureaucratic slime ball is pissed because a snotty little teenager broke into said slime ball's computer system using exploits that were almost common knowledge.

Now the snotty little (ex)-teenager is looking at 99 years in the slammer because some slacker sys admin couldn't be arsed to spend an hour a month patching his TOP SECRET servers against common exploits.

This is nothing to do with justice, it's just revenge for exposing gross incompetence on a massive scale

What a load of Bull*****

"XOR DDoS is an example of attackers switching focus and building botnets using compromised Linux systems to launch DDoS attacks. This happens much more frequently now than in the past, when Windows machines were the primary targets for DDoS malware"

I still have the log dumps from a DDOS attack against a company I worked for in 2002 and 80% of the machines involved that I could identify were BIG IRON Linux boxes on backbone speed connections.

Apparently American university IT technicians thought they were gods and nobody was going to get past their wide open firewalls and guess the root password was err... password.

Why is there no steaming turd icon?

the most important question is...

how many hit did the link to "the image" get?

That is not news

301 response has ALWAYS been vunerable to man in the middle attacks and not just on IOS devices.

This is not news. It's a shallow attempt by a CTO of some security research firm that no-one has ever heard of to get free media coverage by scare mongering a user base that doesn't have the technical knowledge to understand all the big words.

Whats next? Shock! Horror!!

Other people can read your USB stick if you let them borrow it says CTO of USB encryption software company.

oh, hang on, that was last months news

WHY haven't car makers got it into thier heads that smaller batteries would be perfectly acceptable?

Given that my MPG tanks to low teen when accelerating or going up steep hills, I would be perfectly happy with a 10 mile range on pure electric (great for city or a quick trip to the shops) and a smaller engine that could return decent MPG cruising and gets an extra 20KW boost from the electric when you need the power

Awesome reliability

Bulging battery, speakers not working, won't connect to computer

Works just like a new one :-P

Its never BTs fault is it?

Bt don't even monitor their own systems, how can you expect then to keep an eye on upstream providors?

More than once I have given BT the IP address of the router thats not playing fair and they still swear blind nothing is wrong, funny how often it fixes itself shortly after the phone call ends

Enough Already

I'm all for patenting smart ideas but there is a line between inovation and common sense. Is bloody obvious that if you back something up, you have to put the data somewhere.

If they had found a way to do ultra fast backup using custom code, then fair enough but this is patenting the basic concept of backup, which I am pretty sure smart people in Bletchly were doing in the 1940's by poking hole in cardboard.

I'm going to move to America and patent a device that seperats animals from highways, other animals, ponds, rivers and just about anything else you don't want them to go near. It can also be modied to work on a range of animals including humans,

I shall licence it to the world and make Millions!!!

I shall call it a fence. Mwhhahahahah.

And Btw, I think the only thing sysmantec have a right to patent is their skill at turning simple concepts into mountains of complicated bloatwear.

yeah right

First of all, no "professional" driver would ever use plain water in his washer bottle, its useless at best.

Secondly, tap water in the uk has chorides in it to prevent it from going stagnant. in a closed system like a car screen wash, it would take months for the stuff to evaporate off to a level that would allow bacteria to breed.
