What the hell kind of job requires the employer to review your FB profile as part of the application process?

Then change the timing of the lights to prevent it, rather than just catch the people as they do it.

I've been told repeatedly that alternative energy is just a Liberal tree-hugging pipe dream that destroys jobs and wastes money! Now you're telling me that we can wage more effective war by using solar energy? Well, consider my mind blown. Vote Republican! 'Cause anything else is treason!

That's a good idea. Any legal beagles have any thoughts on that?

PayPal? Besides airdropping suitcases full of cash into the ocean, how do corporations pay ransom these days?

Unless you're in a country where RIM let's the government read the emails.

Sounds like he was taking exception with the wording of the question, but it's a real issue and it affects a lot of people. Including the leaders, celebrities, and teenagers who need to know if their government is reading their email.

Meaning, no false alarms. Set the thresholds such that it doesn't go off for undetectable or even very minor quakes. With only seconds to act, people need to feel confident in reacting without a second thought. If the alarm sounds and the teacher says "Hmmm, let's see if it's really a big one before taking cover." then it's lost some of it's usefulness. Same with the automated stuff. It would be unfortunate to get to a point where the alarm goes off and doors roll up, gas is cut off, etc and people immediately think "Crap, not again. Now I have turn the gas back on and close the damn doors."

Besides "SQL injection, phishing, malicious attachments, social engineering", what other types of realistic attacks are there?
