Submission + - Programming languages and threads

Binder writes: "I've been looking for a good language for multi threaded development. Specifically for utilizing multiple processors. Of course there is C/C++. OCaml has threads but won't actually run on more than one processor at a time. For the Lisps it depends on which implementation you have. Erlang doesn't support threads but does support parallelism through message passing. What are good languages which support computation on multiple cpu's?"

Submission + - Responses to records theft

Binder writes: "So I just received a letter stating that my personal information has been stolen. So sorry, but we'll give you free identify theft services in the mean time.

Aren't companies required to protect customers personal data?
Is there anything action which can be taken against these companies?

Also, seeing as there is no way I can get this data back I have to wait around and see if anything bad happens. Then fight with the credit companies to try and repair my reputation after the fact.

Seeing as IANAL is there any advice as to either protecting my credit or action which can be taken against said companies?"
