""However, it would be much easier for an attacker to attempt an attack by other means (e.g. a browser vulnerability), and in any case it would not be hard for an attacker to find the mayor's IP address indirectly, without even resorting to any security breaches."

Run that through your standard judicial IWentToHarvard-izer, replacing a couple of random words with their longest equivalent in the thesaurus, and you've got a pretty solid legal opinion."

"well it's easy anyway so why not" is not a solid legal opinion.

Bug

Steve Ballmer Authored the Windows 3.1 Ctrl-Alt-Del Screen 169

Nerval's Lobster writes According to Microsoft developer Raymond Chen, Steve Ballmer didn't like the original text that accompanied the Ctrl-Alt-Del screen in Windows 3.1, so he wrote up a new version. If you used Windows at any point in the past two decades, you can thank him for that infuriatingly passive 'This Windows application has stopped responding to the system' message, accompanied by the offer to hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete again to restart the PC (and lose all your unsaved data). Update: 09/09 15:30 GMT by S : Changed headline and summary to reflect that Ballmer authored the Ctrl-Alt-Del screen, not the BSoD, as originally stated.
