Thanks in large part to the low cost of natural gas. So Obama needs to get out in front of his and make it look like it was actually his doing.

I saw the same shit with spam. I used to receive a lot of backscatter from some spammer using my E-mail address as a fake from address. I received a ton of threats, random DoS attacks, mailbombs, ping-floods, and a lot of stuff because various dipshits couldn't understand the basics about what an open relay was.

The more ironic thing was finding out that before the deluge happened, I got an extortion letter threatening that postmaster and other E-mail IDs on the web from the site would be used as fake originations.

So some business with the absolute bargain-basement IT staff, chock full of bargain-basement novices is going to decide if a compromised workstation the receiving department at another company is sufficient cause enough to shut that firm down? This would be like carpet-bombing an entire office building because a bank robber ducked into the building's lobby.

Here is where real/virtual separate and analogies doesn't work: It is not difficult to cover one's tracks, especially with how many botnets there are on dynamic IP address ranges.

It could be either agency really. In theory, the FTC can get involved in cases of false advertising (such as claiming to offer internet access when offering only a portion of the internet).

In reality though, they've been asleep at the switch for a long time, so probably it will have to be the FCC.

Agreed, A government phase-out of v4 would speed things along.

Thanks, I'll try it.

I add flavor by tossing a handful of blueberries, peaches or other fruit in and blend it. For hot days I throw in a handful of ice and use frozen fruit for a nice, chilled smoothie. I've found the plain soylent takes on the flavor of added fruit nicely.

Pretty sure I'm using an iPhone.

Pretty sure I had to reset privacy setting after iOS upgrades a few times.

Maybe, in your magical world, Apple can do no wrong and none of the apps every do that?

Are there unicorns there, too?

And just to top it off, if you didn't use your real name, they would kill ALL of your linked accounts, not just Google Plus. Given all the double talk leaving people unsure of what would be acceptable at various times, and no assurance at all it wouldn't get tightened up again, there was a significant risk to using Google+.

Many flash chips already have that but too many firmwares don't use it.

Better yet, jumper the write enable line and default it to off.

keeping in mind that they intentionally engineered it to be bland. the point is it takes on the flavor of whatever you mix it with.

for me, toss some in a blender with a handful of ice and a quarter cup of fresh or frozen fruit and it makes a great smoothie. the added benefit is it is nutritionally complete.

care to share your recipe?

The drought in California is decreasing hydro-generated electricity. It's a good thing that solar is increasing at a fast rate, and is in fact playing a role in making up for the hydro shortfall.

High volume server farms doing lots of web transactions. A 20% addition might mean having to have that many more servers behind the load balancer to handle the algorithm's added CPU load.

However, if it does protect against an up and coming attack, that penalty might not seem as bad compared to a protocol break.
