He cut twice and both arms were still too short!

Totally. Those two arguments were living common-law.

On Windows 8.1, using IE [non-Metro], just visiting a website using the default configuration for security settings, lets it display the drivers that are installed, with version numbers, which presumably could also be uploaded to the server, without needing further interaction with the user [after clicking a link to go to that page].

You might as well just have the web browser directly publish the vulnerabilities...

Have you considered telling your elected officials? Most of them seem to be more of the "running around like a chicken with it's head cut off" variety.

"The group behind it isn't well-known but has delivered on recent smaller threats."

Except the 'recent smaller threats' are completely different, of the sending out email, posting torrents of private data.

To go, well, if they can successfully do that, they can also pull of some giant terrorist attack at a bunch of movie theatres is just stupid.

That's more of a "don't take on more than you can chew" story.

sorry, no. it's not "incidental"

It is being played on purpose [the music is specifically selected and played at specific times] AND it is a public performance. Particularly if it's webcast. Nevermind that it is being "broadcast" by a [generally, for-profit] company, the funeral home.

Because we want Poland for ourselves...

a single wack-job holding a bunch of people hostage with crazy demands?

happens semi-regularly in the US. only it's better, because the wack-job can easily buy a bunch of really powerful weapons, so the situation generally goes south fairly rapidly, so it becomes a mass-killing instead.

who the fuck is still collecting nude images, other than pedophiles and people who use 4chan to manage their archive?

Excellent comment. Because we normally let hostage takers go in situations like this. Or just give them house arrest or community service for a couple months.

That's just it. The gov't and the media make sure EVERYBODY feels terrorized by some lone wack-job.

Here in Canada, where one of our wack-jobs was running around Ottawa killing one person, across the country in Edmonton, AB [3400 km away], schools were being locked down "just in case".

And of course there will be the "OMG. We just have to ram through a bunch of legislation making it easier for the police and the secret police to spy on everyone because we just have to catch every terrorist." Nevermind that it is either 100% likely we will find out about the wack job some other way [like say, the family calling the police saying "our son is a wack job"] or 0% likely to find the wack job in advance because they interact with nobody.

Jibbers Crabst!

gnome-terminal

Yes. That's what it is. One bad patch.

What does Microsoft average, having to pull a patch every week? Or only every second week?
