Here in the real world, the Secretary of Defense is proposing budget cuts.
The DoD has two problems:
1. The sequester
2. Wildly over-budget acquisition programs for the F-35, the Littoral Combat Ship, IT efforts, and a bunch of other stuff
There's also the issue of the Navy buying a large number of submarines it doesn't have the money to pay for, despite the submarines coming in under budget.
You are Netflix Customer
You are Verizon FIOS Customer
You are already paying for their service (both sides).
You are a potential customer for Verizon's (in-house) streaming offerings.
Hence the conflict between Verizon and Netflix.
Verizon owned 65% of the now-defunct Redbox Instant.
Speculation is that the Redbox Instant team will be retasked to work on Verizon's new digital video service.
Probably the mailing list administrator did something stupid like munging the headers. That tends to break certain anti-spam filtering.
The problem is that they still get money from normal people who don't realize their real agenda. It's a bit like smoking way back in the day - people didn't know it was harmful*, the tobacco companies were pushing untrue messages, etc...
PETA, the organization is a lot like that. They push a specific variation on their message to the world(be ethical about the treatment of animals!) that is non-offensive to the majority of people. As a result, pet owners will donate money to them, thinking that PETA is a bit like the old NRA(which put the money towards safety education, safe firing ranges, and such) - that their money would go towards animal shelters, education, fighting animal abuse, etc... They don't realize that their money is used to fund overpaid executives and push radical agendas.
As such, we need to scream it to the rafters until enough people know to give to their local animal shelter over PETA and PETA goes bankrupt.
*Well, many did, but it wasn't advertised, there were a lot of truly ignorant people.
But if you miss a critical email because Google accidentally thought something was spam when it wasn't, then Hello lawsuits.
I'm betting you've never read the TOS of your e-mail provider.
For Gmail, the short version is that that they make no commitments about anything, including reliability.
When permitted by law, Google disclaims all warranties and liability for damages.
To the extent permitted by law, Google limits its total liabilities to the amount you've paid them.
Also, you agree that Santa Clara County, California is the controlling jurisdiction for any dispute.
I'm not saying you can't sue Google over misdirected e-mails, just that it'll be a tough case to make and you'll have to rely on California or Federal laws.
Perl (5/6)?
That was pretty much my thought. A camel that's truly pissed off isn't going to be helping you. They're big ornery creatures, after all. Meanwhile in getting the camera view the camel was provided with fodder, water, medical care, as well as all the other help that a domestic camel gets in exchange for walking around.
And all that with the same $25 cost, of course.
Idiot.
The law needs to track down that car if it is stolen but the person doing this is still an idiot.
A basic primer on contributory and comparative negligence
It's not exactly victim blaming if the victim could have acted in a more prudent manner.
But in this case, a user of online storage isn't being negligent in assuming their backed up files are secure.
The next time, I wouldn't have a problem blaming the victims, as now everyone should know their nudes can get hacked.
Google does an excellent job of catching spam. The submitter's problem isn't that, it's that he's got other numpties giving out his email address and then he's not using the Google-supplied tool (that little "mark as spam" button) to mark unwanted email so that Gmail learns his preferences. Instead, he's Dunning-Krugered together his own solution that barely works.
Submitter's problem is PEBKAC.
And yet, here you are commenting on a troll article.
Be careful when a loop exits to the same place from side and bottom.
