KeRanger was cryptographically signed using a now-revoked Apple-issued developer certificate, but will still be accepted by OS X's Gatekeeper protection system
This could be painful for some. Can anyone provide a plausible excuse as to why Gatekeeper was still accepting revoked security certs? Other than 'someone at Apple has dropped a clanger of course.
My wife's first degree (medical) was in a very female dominated cohort. Mine was Maths/CS. I was stunned to hear about the behaviour of her fellow students. Come a big researchish assessment, there was a rush to the library (in teams), as people (2 men out of a class of 21) bagged essential references, and if they were (commonly) restricted to library exclusive use, hiding them in obscure parts of the building.
Now you can guess that this was about 30 years ago when much of the material was not available online. But I was still shocked, my subject attracted lots of slightly odd individuals (at least socially), but this would never have occurred to us (opposite ratio). Unless you really did hate someone (in which case you simply did not ask), we actually helped one another. Vicious team 'play' of this sort would never have been tolerated.
I gave my mum my second spare Nokia 6310i (you see I love her) three years ago. Her second mobile phone - the first did not survive contact with the enemy). It's still working, she's on a limitless minute contract, and I am still loved (well actually no, and given my sacrifice a little pissed off)
Living in the boonies, in a very solidly built stone house, I only get mobile reception in one part of it. Friends and visitors know that, so I can happily have the phone going to answer whenever I want to without massive opprobrium. I don't tend to advertise the fact that in that part of the house, reception is good enough, and I have a strong 4G signal, so good in fact that I tend to use it as my primary means of accessing the outside world via my network when in the house.
The Grauniad is not always wrong, and does manage rather better than the proverbial broken clock - even if some of it is deranged. For real lunacy you want the Mail or the Telegraph. Time for the old joke
The Times - read by the people who run the country
The Telegraph - read by people who yearn for the time they thought they ran the country
The Guardian - read by people who think someone else should run the country (although on current form...)
The Mail - read by people who don't like anyone who runs the country, by definition
The Sun - read by people who don't care as long as Sam Fox can flash her t*ts on page 3
Although I see BT are making great play of moving jobs back to the UK - ostensibly customer service issues (including, according to newspaper 'reports' - OK a reliable citation needed) that the Brummie accents of their customers could not be understood by Indian call staff.
Walmart are not the only company to use this type of insurance. It has been around for a long time. I would say that it represents moral jeopardy for any organisation that could benefit by judicially managing health benefits, but then scum like that would never consider such an action would they?
While TTIP and other bastard proposed legislation is to be damned, as far as I understand it (which to be fair is based on assurances - ha ha ha - by politicians and administrators), there is no requirement to negotiate on something that is already there.
But then on second thoughts one of the money grabbing f****rs in a Tory, Labour, LibDem, Plyd Cymri or SNP run institution will probably take the money to engineer it on the basis (honest guv), 'I'm thinking of the people - not just the children'.
Last week, Dunfermline and West MP Douglas Chapman, who sits on the Commons Defence Select Committee, suggested Police Scotland similarly mull an eagle squadron to clear the skies of drones that he described as "a real risk to people", "a danger to those on the ground" and even "a risk to national security" in the wrong hands
I suppose it provides much needed work for Scottish birds of prey. But ha April come round so soon, or are Scottish rozzers a little short of press releases for a Monday morning?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that case hinges on US health insurance companies having this strange idea to buy brand name rather than generic, when the patent runs out. His medicine was out of patent, so people just switched to generics.
I regret to say you are incorrect. To paraphrase (but hopefully represent the case), this is a drug that was permitted under a different regulatory system that that which exists now. In order to introduce a generic, drugs companies would have to jump through expensive hoops, and possibly (although I'm not an expert in the area) take a very long time about it. As this bastard owns the drug of that name (forget about so called generics - noe are licensed), he can charge what he believes the market will bear.
Personally I would be more interested in seeing whether his testicles would bear his weight if he was suspended by them over a deep pool of laser wielding sharks, but that is only a personal opinion I should add and I do not condone, or encourage anyone to do it, at least without a watertight alibi.
Not that useful as a unit of measurement, seeing as how Scottish gnats seem to be about the size of an albatross with the teeth of a velociraptor.
Much though I repsepct and fear the Free Scotland Airforce they are not a pinch on their equivalents in Alaska. Although at least you have a good chance of downing them with a large bore hunting rifle.
It will all go quiet for another 3 years because he knows that if he does step outside he will be arrested for violating the terms of this bail agreement.
I'll bet whoever it was in the embassy thought this would be a jolly wheeze is wondering about his or her career futures at the moment.
A member of the 'working group' was claiming it was binding - Prof of Law at some US Uni (Florida I think) this afternoon on R4. He had problems explaining why it was, although to be fair, the R4 interrogator did not give him a hard enough time. Where is Marcel Berlins when you need him?
I would not be surprised if some of the people who donated for his bail fund sue him if he shows he nose outside the door too.
Well given some of the people who misguidedly funded his bail have the money to waste (Jemima I am looking at you), but others probably do not, I suspect the dark alley and a blunt instrument, accompanied by you f****ker might be more of a worry for him....
