Well, at least it's not "man-in-the-middle" because that would be bad.

Would be one ... for the other two:
US patent office
FIFA

Can they force you to open a safe?

Or to use a car analogy; can they ask to unlock the car door?

There is a 4K hack of Pac-Man:

"We know this because our game contains some code to send anonymous-usage data to our server. Nothing unusual or harmful. Heaps of games/apps do this and we use it to better understand how the game is played. It’s absolutely anonymous and you are covered by our privacy policy. "

Yes, you want our sympathy because you're indie, but yet you have no qualms in playing big brother and monitoring your users without explictly stating that you do so. Yeah, a "privacy policy" makes it okay.

Sorry, in my book you guys are assholes just like EA by merely doing that. Not that you deserve having your game "pirated", but you're still assholes. Not mutually exclusive.

A while back you did a bunch of issues of The Brave and The Bold. I have to say, all of them were outstanding and brought some unusual/forgotten characters to the fore.

Were there any DC characters that you had wished you had the opportunity to tackle?

We decided that MongoDB was adequate but didn't leverage the synergies we were trying to harvest from our development methodologies.

We looked at GumboDB and found it was lacking in visualization tools to create a warehouse for our data that would provide a real-time dashboard of the operational metrics we were seeking.

Next up was SuperDuperDB which was great from a client-server-man-in-the-middle perspective but required a complex LDAP authentication matrix that reticulated splines within our identity management roadmap.

After that I quit. I hear they are using Access 95 with VBA.

Fair enough; still a LOT better than what you typically experience in Cuba.

When you scramble to monetize your product by pimping off your CEO you know it's downhill from here on.

Next:
- for 5 euros they will attach the head of one of your friends on a porn star
- charge 1 cent every time you use your FB login with another site
- charge $5 to add 50 new friends for the socially inept or people you need to get that extra mile
- for $1,000 bump someone off FB with the same name and get exclusive rights for 12 months
- $5 for audio greetings, $10 for video
-$1 to send a text message

Limited exemptions for protecting, upgrading and updating computer networks
The proposed Regulations include an exemption for telecommunications service providers (TSPs) from the requirement to have consent to install a computer program for the limited purposes of preventing illegal activities that present an imminent risk to the security of its network.

The proposed Regulations also include an exemption for TSPs from the requirement to have consent to install software on devices across an entire network for update and upgrade purposes.

Does this mean that Rogers/Bell can start pushing agents/SW on their subscribers computers which in turn allow them to control your access?

This is pretty messed up.

They should be within their rights to cut off access to the node. I suppose the TSPs need to have a higher level of assurance that the node is no longer compromised.

Shhh, don't give away all of our secrets.

Oops, I just been paged. it's on vibrate, which is why you didn't hear. I have to Go off-site. See you tomorrow unless I'm up late working on this emergency, in which case I may be working from home.

I have a catch-all inbox that I use for various disposable e-mails. It's a popular domain.

In a typical week I get:
- 10+ people trying (and succeeding) creating FB accounts plus any updates and invites and comments and ...
- ~5 e-mails from Gmail to activate an account
- ~5 e-mails from Windows Live to activate an account
- two library notifications about overdue books
- a backup of the financial database from a company that has set the incorrect e-mail
- Someone sending baby pictures of their newborn child to a co-worker to a similarly-named company
- ~4 e-mails from patients for another similarly-named clinic
- One or two e-mails from an insurance company with confidential data sent to the incorrect domain
- LOTS of e-mails from people signing up on web sites that don't verify e-mails (horroscopes, matching sites, industrial newsletters, etc)

Xmas was pretty busy with a lot of kids registering WIndows Live accounts for their XBOX.
Out of courtesy I usually tell people that they have the wrong domain ...

You should read Soccernomics. A lot of the principles that Sabermetics has applied to soccer as well which is as a team sport as well. Specifically teams like Lyon and FC Porto have been doing something similar and exceeding expectations for many years. Manchester City who also have a ton of money, have now published their players' stats.

Not a rumour; it actually happened.
