Informative? Really? In my opinion, this is Off-topic and Flamebait. But with the declining general quality of Slashdot over the last couple years, I have stopped being so obsessive about using my mod-points and so don't get them very often.

Actually, since their stuff is based on his stuff in the first place, I don't see how it could be perjury.

They just have to say, "OK. Sorry. We'll stop distributing it now." However the fact is that it continues to distribute itself.

At the risk of feeding a random troll (where did 150,000 come from?), the Additional Child Tax Credit is available to those making 50,000, which I would say is middle class if you have lots of children.

Not really. The Additional Child Tax Credit also works for those who have lots of children. A person who makes too much for EITC can still get a sizeable gift (1000+ per child) from the Feds depending on his other deductions.

In the second paragraph on page 4, Mr. Mandia says that over 90% of the private enterprises don't know their networks have been compromised until they learned from the FBI, DoD, or some other third party (emphasis added).

My solution is to look poor. I store my laptop in a cardboard box and drive a 1988 Chevy Nova.

Looks like he was 66 years old when he died. Please fix the headline.

> How so? It's accepted as a free software license not only by the OSI but by the FSF as well.

Actually this may be a bit misleading. The MS-PL is firmly on their list of "GPL-Incompatible Free Software Licenses". This means that they urge you not use this license and it is incompatible with the GNU GPL.

Trapping is good clean fun. I got into it checking out a book from the library called "Tiniest Game Hunter" or something like that. Given enough time and ingenuity, trapping is the way to go. I have had good luck with the spring-loaded oversize mousetraps, but my somewhat more wealthy friend recommends the Rat Zapper 2000.
