that's not what they are?

and thought you were alluding to Magic being only 100 years old

and didn't know if I should call you a fool for your lack of history

or kick myself in the nuts for getting myself with the same stupidity

Lame.
Move on.
Nothing to see here.

I would think once it was determined that this was not a State sponsored attack, they would stop making such a stink over what country the attacks originated from. Hacking has been going on for 20 + years now, and it has never been a real concern before on the country of origin because State sponsored hacking was such a negligable issue that it was commonly overlooked. I do understand that Russia may have sponsored attacks on Georgia, and maybe China has hacked Taiwan and vice versa, but I mean, short of a concerted Government led effort, I would take this as just another case of Bot Net owner playing with his toys. Not as a sign of intra Governmental hacking as a precursor to some sort of overt warlike effort beginning.

I can't for the life of me remember the study, or who the man was that was considered the most un-appealing, but there was a study done that measure aesthetics, and then judged celebrities based on their "scientific aesthetic value" and from what I can remember of the study, it was actually based on something more than the "Schwing" factor.

............oh wait

your referring to a cellphone aren't you?

So if your house is already on fire, and will burn to the ground shortly anyway, than you certainly wouldn't mind me dumping some of my spare gas on your house, so that I can research and prove my theories on how well houses burn when adding gas to an already raging fire.

I'm sure your neighbors wouldn't mind either........

oh yeah! well I'm addicted to getting Frist Prost!

oh wait.........that was my first one :(

I would think of this as more of a "News" Article than anything else

and YOU could read farther down, where I realized I was guilt of not RTFA and commented on the fact that TFA mentioned reasons why I had nothing to fear.

jerkface :)

You actually were making a rather Insightful post until the whole crippling people thing.

I see the mods agreed, and though you have a 5 digit UID, you must be new here, because any exaggeration, especially making any kind of allusion to violence of any kind will immediately get you modded flaimbait.

Shoulda found a way to make it into a car analogy man, then your point would have gotten across a lot better!

Though I agree with your statement, I think it's also rather hypocritical (not neccessarily of you) for people on Slashdot to defend people from having their stuff stolen because their "secutiry" sucks, while in the same breath, lambaste Microsoft for poor security and lauding the people who break into their systems to exploit the holes (which you CAN NOT say doesn't happen here) I've been running across this again and again here lately where people have a double standard that if One person/group/OS/hax0r does one thing it's ok, so long as it doesn't impact the new "Kool-Aid flavor of the month" here. Yet it is supposedly inherently wrong for anyone at anytime to break into ANYTHING just because it was "easy" to do so.

Is "Btitish" a colloquial term for British Telecom, or are you just having a bad day?

WTF! who h4ck3d muh acc0un7s y0?!?!

Do you think they will get away with this?!?!
