Seriously if Krebs could track the idiot down why is there no outrage or any police effort to nab the guy!!
Um, possibly because he's in the Ukraine and paying the local cops a shedload of money to look the other way, and no-one expects any different.
Americans don't have that key on our keyboards.

Maybe these folks can make spare auto parts for cars? I'd love to roll with a MG, Model F with all the parts working.
Was there ever a version of an MG in which all the parts were working?
In Australia they just have a list of stolen phones distributed to the carriers, and they block the phone from network access based on the phone's IMEI.
Yes but that would make logical sense. There's a couple drawbacks to that solution, to be honest, but they are far more minor than the obvious problems with the kill-switch approach. For one, phones can still be sold out of country (although I suspect that's a VERY small market for stolen phones). For another, many phones currently don't have a built-in ID, it's contained on a removable chip so a thief could just swap it out or remove it entirely. So if anything, maybe we should mandate a non-removable unique ID for each phone, a government registry of phones which have been reported lost/stolen, and a law mandating carriers NOT allow listed phones to be activated.
BTW, I understand the theft of mobile phones in Australia dropped dramatically after this system was introduced, so while there may be ways around the law, they are probably beyond the capabilities of your average street thug.
I run grid computing using the BOINC and World Community Grid, so my four cores are running flat out all the time.
Would this be enough to blind any software that was trying to listen to the noise your CPU makes? Sort of a CPU white noise generator?

I don't have any problem with nuclear weapons - they're a fact of life now. I just want ours to be the best.. and if anyone launches, it needs to be understood, completely, your entire right to exist as a nation. There can be no other peace.
Reality, sometimes, is grim stuff.
And mine shafts. We need to have the best mine shafts!
The comment was done as humor, but the cow's diet is a large variable in the equation. Some farmers are feeding their cows a diet that reduces the generation of methane. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/05/us/05cows.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
And yes, it's the belching.
In Australia they have developed an inoculation against some of the most active methanogenic gut bacteria found in sheep. From memory it reduced the sheep's' generation of methane by about 30% and allowed an extra 1.5% to 2% of their feed to go toward actually producing meat.
What I want to know is why did Australia NAME the country and the individual surveillance targets, then put that in a document given to a foreign country, which had their name and organization written all over it? Haven't they heard of code names?
They could have referred to target1, target 2 etc in the country of Elbonia on paper and made it clear in conversation who was being referred to. Even if the intended targets could have been easily guessed, it would have provided some level of deniability.
Never put it in writing.
"After a probe that included an investigation into Joseph’s travel and shopping patterns – parsed from over 2,000 tweets - lawyers from the White House counsel’s office confronted Joseph and ordered him to leave the executive complex, according to two sources familiar with the situation."
There's your tax dollars at work. Money well spent, I'd say.

If you've got a 55% chance of Alzheimer's, you'd be foolish not to make at least some adjustments to your life, but a young kid doesn't need to know those facts just now. You can leave it until she's a young adult to tell her.
One thing she might do when she decides to have kids is use embryo selection to weed out the bad genes, so her children aren't burdened with the same worry.
Teens were emotionally damaged by bullying, or morally damaged by porn or violence, or whatever conclusions TFA is trying to draw from this statistic, long before the Internet.
Yeah, I'm sure that eight year-olds had easy access to horse porn long before the internet came along.
If all else fails, lower your standards.
