Bullshit. Ignorance is not an excuse. True they didn't intend to "put it on the Internet" but that is unequivocally precisely what they did, trusting that whatever security measures the custodian of those images was adequate. It should be clear by now that placing sensitive data, of any kind, onto networks that you don't control is a bad idea.

...sending them into the cloud is stupid. At some point, we have to take responsibility for protecting our own privacy and I'm sorry, but handing my private shit off to someone else, who offers only a vague promise of privacy (made via a totally opaque ToS agreement) qualifies as "stupid enough that you don't get to bitch about it" when the inevitable happens. Does that excuse the perpetrators of the crime? Not in the least, but jeezuz, let's at least give a nod towards common sense here. Why would you do with your digital images what you'd never have thought of doing with the same images printed on paper? Hmm?

Ensuring that everyone enjoys, equally, the same basic human rights is not "imposing our religion" on anyone. No. Your chosen collection of religious dogma does not trump those rights. The failure to grasp that is why ignorant fundamentalists in northern Pakistan (and elsewhere - I'm looking at you, red states) fight. Malala is a hero, because she's challenging such ignorant "culture".

Education, and the education of women in particular, begets peace. Well demonstrated fact. Find another way to attack her credibility. You've failed here.

So, because you disagree with one man's politics, The Nobel Peace Prize is shit. Got it. Nice reasoning there.

If you took money for a service, and then arbitrarily cut off paying customers of that service, it's most certainly not okay.

The word "codswallop" appeared in the first paragraph of TFA. I figured right then that this was going to be superficial review. Then again, I should have known from the summary that anything purporting to determine "The Best Linux Distro" is probably not worth my time. Yes, I read TFA. Yes, it was a waste of my time. The meaning of "How long is a piece of string?" still escapes TFA's author.

Yeah, well, some people can't see outside their little box. To be fair, there are places where that model works, but fronting a remote virtualization stack, alone with a few pieces of dedicated hardware that must be available even when the virtualization stack is down, is not one of them.

Perhaps. Three years is a long time. Companies change hands and I am here to tell you that the importance that one vendor places on supporting their product often becomes an expense to be trimmed when that company is acquired by another. May you never have to learn just how bad that can get.

I was thinking the same thing. At least give us a hint. Something like, "A major security appliance vendor, who was recently acquired by major tech company which is based in Austin..."
Full disclosure: we own some of those and have several very similar issues with their support offerings, so the OP's complaint definitely resonates.

It is a lovely design, from an aesthetic point of view, and as automobile, it's no worse than some conventional cars in many respects (probably not crash worthy at all, but that's a given in flying cars). As an aircraft, however, it's a recipe for disaster. It appears to be extremely short coupled, making it more than a little twitchy in pitch and yaw, as is obvious in the video. In an aerobatic aircraft, again, that's not a bad thing, but in something aimed at this (supposed) market, it's a killer.

That "recreation" is responsible for "wasting gas" or "adding to the carbon debt". While both cases are arguably true, a little perspective is in order. On any weekday in the city where I live, I can count thousands of commuters driving to work, one to a car. And I can't count fast enough or high enough. Weighed against that, the "extravagance" of motor racing, for example (and the one that gets trotted out every time fuel gets the least bit scarce), is insignificant. The same goes for electricity, the few kwh I might spend on watching TV or driving my PC for recreational purposes, are dwarfed by many other day-in, day-out uses of electricity. Yes, yes. It all adds up, but the key word is "all", and it's the big stuff that could make the biggest difference if we were to get serious about conserving.

Yes. And...?

"Self-Absorbed Asshole Walks Past Security...."

Because this single issue is the only thing that matters, right? No, wait. Abortion is the only thing that matters. No, I mean gay marriage is the only thing that matters.
Single-issue voters deserve all the bad things that happen to them because of their narrow-minded, short-sighted choices.
