They do about Mac OS. I've never seen them for Ubuntu which I get updates for once a month.

Dammit Ramnit! Worm slurps 45,000 Facebook passwords

It's naive

to say that it's only a windows problem. The fat that it can by pass two-factor authentication should have people worried . Either there is a glaring hole with RSA or that hack took more than they are saying it did .

US lawmakers claim Huawei sold censor tech to Iran

Michael H

Iran is on the naughty list. So if an American company gets caught selling restricted items they get slapped.

"and every patent case in favour of the Silicon Valley software giants."

You do know it's usually American companies that get slapped for this .

Cops get 3D laser scanners for motorway crash sites

Sound walls

They put doors in the sound walls just for that very reason. The doors are usually placed in front of fire plugs on the surface streets.

@M25 would be to erect a 6-foot tall wall all along the central reservation.

They have been doing this in the US , but not on all Highways. They make it just high enough so you can't see over it . It was fought because EMS said it hampers rescue efforts as they would park on the other side and hop the barrier. This was done because the traffic in the opposite lane is not blocked .

Verizon retreats on ‘convenience fee’ for online bill payment

@Homer 1

"Then there's those bogus "surcharges" with certain retailers for spending under a tenner with a credit card, or paying with an electron card, or because it's a full moon, "

According to Visa that's a no no. But I've never heard o a retailer getting slapped for that. Same thing goes for having a minimum limit to use a Visa card. Once again I'd be supervised if Visa slapped some for this unless they pissed Visa off.

My insurance gives me a $2 a month reduction for not sending out a paper bill and paying by EFT. My Gas company does the same. It's hugs savings for them not having to send paper bills getting the money faster by EFT. So was Vertizion wanting to charge more for some thing that saves them money ?

Playboy model's complaints against HP chief Hurd laid bare by court

Money

Money is the only thing that these people respect so yes they are willing to forget the hanky panky. But at the same time he committed fraud, messing with there money. To me thats even worse cause he committed a crime and you just let him off Crime does pay and it allows you to be a horny perv.

EFF appeal win reopens NSA dragnet spying case

Actually

The way ATT is set up allows you to monitor any part of California from any CO. I could be in LA and intercept data or phone calls from San Jose.

AOL sings soothing profit lullaby to nervous investors

Title needed for reality

When I first saw the words AOL and investors my first thought was to check the date . Nope not April 1st . Then I realize AOL's investors are probity like there users . The don't know any better , lazy, for got that they still have AOL and don't notice the $9.99 charge or just plain ignorant to the fact there is some thing better out there .

Dial UP

Just cause you have dial up does not mean you need AOL. As soon as I could I moved away from AOL to another dial up provider . I then moved to IDSL, DSL ,then Cable

Wait ?

AOL has investors ? This is like holding on to last years hoping it will increase even though it's rotten in the fields .

Make room, internet, there's another 5 million domains to fit in

I've been there . We resorted to candles and radio. To heat the food up we used a Colman camping stove. I did that during the Loma Prieta earth quake and then when Eron screwed California over .

Another Alliance pushes into White Space

I have a feeling this is like asking do you want to break your ribs or your collar bone. Both options painful, but more to the point why are you doing this .

Sony PSN class-action lawsuit ban prompts... lawsuit

Is it legal, yes it is. The first group of people to do such things was the health insurance company. You agree not to sue us and go through biding arbitration . The health insurance company picks the Arbitrator which you pay for.

Sky follows BT in blocking Newzbin2

"I think usage wise there are a lot more people using the bandwidth for illegal purposes than legal ones and that was my point, i just put it badly."

I would like to know how you came to that opinion. Most of the people that I know that use a lot of data are streaming video. I know few that do pod cast from home.

@DaeDaLuS_015

"If the ISPs stop you from downloading illegal stuff (movies, games, etc) then what justifies the amount they charge for their "Unlimited" connections? They want you to download as much as you can just as much as you do. That way they can keep charging over the odds without anyone complaining. I thought this was pretty obvious given i can't think of an awful lot over 1.5GB to download that is legal... i struggle with over 1GB tbh... atleast not on a regular basis."

I stream video and right now I'm at 180 gigs. There is a reason why Netflix has options to reduce the video feeds resolution.

Bah, humbug! Virgin Media censors Charles D**kens

I wounder how they wound handle the name Dick Butkus or Mike Ditka or even Gaylord.

Judge dismisses charges against accused Twitter stalker

Sure now just send that to him 8000 time directly and keep on changing your screen name when he blocks you and thats a death threat. Ok and make sure you are stalking him too. I never said a random comment was a death threat I said when some is stalking you and refuses to except that you refuse to talk to them .

Um thats not true. The first amends does not give you the right to be heard. She did block him and he changed screen names. In the US you can get a no contact order for some he keeps on trying to communicate with you have you made it clear that you want nothing to do with them. Oh and the first amendment has nothing to do with non government intendeds.

"She must tolerate his tweets -that are directly sent to her- because of the first amendment." If that is true the web sites would not be able to sensor web sites

@Mark

I thought he would of been convicted here in the US. You never know what the judge might do.

Lets clear some thing up. We are not talking about some who just mad at her we are talking about a stalker. Stalkers tend to kill the person the obsess over. To .me there is a very real difference between some who is just mad at you and some who is stalking describing ways in which you can die. Then saying I wish you would kill your self.

She would block him and then he would sign up under another name

They certainly rattled Alyce Zeoli, a Buddhist leader based in Maryland. Using an ever-changing series of pseudonyms, the authorities say, Mr. Cassidy published thousands of Twitter posts about Ms. Zeoli. Some were weird horror-movie descriptions of what would befall her; others were more along these lines: “Do the world a favor and go kill yourself. P.S. Have a nice day.”

According to the F.B.I. and Ms. Zeoli’s lawyer, Mr. Cassidy also claimed to be a reincarnated Buddhist when he joined Ms. Zeoli’s organization, Kunzang Palyul Choling, in 2007. He signed up using a false name and claimed to have had lung cancer, they said. Ms. Zeoli’s organization cared for him and, briefly, even appointed him to its executive team. The relationship soured after they came to doubt his reincarnation credentials and found that his claims of cancer were false. Mr. Cassidy left. Then came the relentless tweets, they said.

Since when is death threats just offensive ? So if I sent 8000 harassing messages , some with death threats that's ok as long as it's a public official ?

Feds charge eight former Siemens officials with bribery

California has lots of earth quakes that crack brick. Places in the US were you have hurricanes or tornadoes you find the houses are made of brick.

Criminal Records Bureau checks to go online

People don't get checked for every thing. The law is very different in the US. Lots of states bar an employer from asking have do you have a convection for marijuana that is more than three years old unless you are applying for law enforcement , working with kids or getting a medical license. We don't allow rumors to go on the background check. You can have arrest removed from you records provided you been a good boy . You can go before a judge and have criminal convictions expunged. You have a right to see you criminal record.

Bill Gates discusses nuclear development deal with China

"If it was any good at all, Uncle Sam would be building them for himself at home "

So it has nothing to do with the fact people fear Nuclear. Or the fact that states like California has outlawed the production new nuclear power plants. Just trying to build one and you will be faced with law suits.

Then they are doing a poor job of enforcing it . Because I can find it there .

Umm If you login in you find lots of porn on you tube. It's just rate 18 and you need to have google account to see it .

I agree. If google can't do it then they should pull out of Italy. In fact if I was in charge I would pull out right now .

IPO: Patent laws must change to attract Big Pharma to UK

Patent violations during testing

Here two scenarios they mostly likely mean. Reverse engineering. You take crestor analyze it then tweak enough molecules in it so you claim that it's a different drug. You have a control group, then one group taking crestor and another group taking your new drug. You want to see if your drug is as effective as crestor , but at the same time you can see how effective crestor really is .

The makers of lipotor want to prove that it's better than crestor or that crestor is a waste of time and money.

Germany gloomy over AT&T merger

Groupon grotty grotto rage forces Santa's chief elf to quit

But when you have that many pissed off customers things can go bad very quickly. They were only expecting 200 people but thousands showed up. Even if they did have a contract with group on, make such huge mistake in misrepresenting the event is still ground to sue.
