schmaustech writes: NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Taxpayers stand to lose between $100 billion and $200 billion on TARP — Treasury's $700 billion financial market bailout.

But there are others who argue that the billions of dollars that taxpayers shelled out simply delayed an inevitable epic collapse of the financial sector.

How about we require them to actually pass the classes they do attend before letting them move on...
Today's grading seems to be based on if they "try" rather then actually do the assignment correctly. That type of grading is objectionable based on the teacher. Since everyone has a different opinion of "trying", your mileage may very.

Submission + - Symantec Bug in Online Flash Games
schmaustech writes: Symantec has a couple of online games in Flash at the following website: http://edm.symantec.com/games/#/home
From out initial testing these games appear to be vulnerable to a hex editor hack where when the flash is running, you can use the hex editor to find your score in hex and then change it to a higher value. In this case, a higher score leads to a prize they are offering.
I opened a ticket with the contact page on the website, but they closed the ticket.

You forget that with a little Google action, one can probably gain that additional information to make the Social Security number worth something. Having the name and SS is a start and it would only a little sleuthing to get the rest.
