Rated "Funny"? Where is the "Sad" or "Depressing" tag when one needs it?!

"The departure lounge allows international and domestic passengers to be together so that the domestic passengers have access to the lounge facilities, according to BAA." ... which looks like a security design fail to me.

Still, what if I have a valid, selfbought ticket from Miami to Heathrow T5 with a connecting flight to some small local airport in the UK afterwards?

People who want to bost themself with how many books their device has loaded on but do not actually read books... ;-)

My books don't consume electricity. The oldest ones I have are physical prints which are more than 50 years old. Still working and looking splendit ... without electricity. I know, I might be a troll here .... but I never understood the reason for e-books....

Opps ... mea culpa... ;-)

Well, for me -- not being an artist, but a mathematician -- a Mac just perfoms best. Great huge screen, an OS which just works the way it should, a great TeX distribution, and good choice of programs for surfing the web, reading e-mails and organising my BibTeX references. I for myself have used Linux before and it does a great job but by now I feel more comfortable with my iMac...

After just having seen what information the iPhone stores without the users knowledge I don't want to know how much more information the future smartcar wants to store and give away to different companies and lawenforcement agencies. No thanks.

In case the harddrive is full disc encrypted it all should not matter...

...that Wikileaks is on that list? Or similar sites?

Such kind of failed appeals makes me want to bom.... %$!%$$*&! CARRIER LOST.

The time machine stores the back up files on an external hard drive in a specific way such that can perform the backup task and the possible restore task effectively. In order to this to work noone should modify or delete any data stored in the backup location. This will most likely corrupt the backup.

The author of the article told Sophos AV to delete files from within the time machnien backup location ... well, of course one can expect that it messes things up.

The way we teach calculus has not changed so much that you would need every second year a new revision of a calculus book.

If a new revision is needed every second year, then there has been something wrong with the text book in the first place or there is something wrong with the publisher or both options apply (and somehow I think the latter is the case).

So what is the news here?

1) That someone opens a fake account in the name of someone else (I presume that happens on a regular basis anyways), or

2) That some cluless idiots (sorry for the harsh words) do exchang SENSITIVE information on Facebook? And then they suddenly wonder how this information got into wrong hands?!
