Maybe this'll mean Secunia will stop sending me UCE, which is an abuse of email, for their commercial reasons?

The summary really doesn't do this article the justice it deserves. It's been some time since I've seen such a strong example of Poe's Law.

I recently read that of all pedestrians injured in London from vehicles skipping red lights, 95% were the result of motor vehicles.

You are correct that bikes do not have the responsibilities of motor vehicles. They also do not have the mass nor speed of any other vehicle.

> I've had HDDs give me warning, and I've had HDDs fail without any warning. People have gone to their backups and found them unreadable.

Absolutely agree here - a backup is only as good as the system used to validate it. But as we've seen since this service was mentioned, Google have already been found to be re-processing the images sent to it (I've seen mention of RAW images which were quite significantly compressed), so they're just as good/bad from a backup integrity point of view.

At least one can monitor one's own in-house disks and backups!

Not that long ago I went hog wild over something that turned out to be a genuine bug in the Firehose. On top of that, it was very old news anyway. This time the hog was not let loose, and frankly, all the little bitches whining and crying about it are entertaining me.

Thanks for your hard work, btw. /. is a great place to be.

Backup...using a Google service? I prefer my backups to be reliable and private, thank you. Although hard drives do occasionally tell me "Hey, you've got a week to get your shit off me, ner ner!", at least they can't help it.

That web site is not an advocate for "mens rights", it's a flaming, garish train wreck of a crock of shit. (Tell us how you really feel)

"For me, it's the same thing". For the rest of us, it's obviously very different. Now shut up and go run your little moon.

Their pop-up advertising their own damn newsletter, or something, still managed to get in my way after about 20 seconds. I then closed the tab as I don't like being accosted while browsing.

There's a place for obscenities and your reply was exactly that place. To reply appropriately: Fuckin' A!

I once worked with a small web site owner to help clean up phishing sites that were on his site. We had a bit of trouble finding the last one on the server, a mix of my inexperience with web server configs and lacklustre support from his web host. Site Lock were convinced his site was 100% clean, even when the owner kept giving them the URL of the phishing site which was still working. They kept saying his site was clean, he has nothing to worry about! And to keep your site clean, why don't you pay us $LOL to help keep it secure?
