Submission + - Math curriculum to understand General Relativity 3

sjwaste writes: "Slashdot posts a fair number of physics stories. Many of us, myself included, don't have the background to understand them. So I'd like to ask the Slashdot math/physics community to construct a curriculum that gets me, an average college grad with two semesters of chemistry, one of calculus, and maybe 2-3 applied statistics courses all the way to understanding the mathematics of general relativity. What would I need to learn, in what order, and what texts should I use? Before I get killed here, I know this isn't a weekend project, but it seems like it could be fun to do in my spare time for the next... decade."

Perhaps no good developer would want to admit to posting your comment, hence Anonymous Coward status.

Submission + - Thousands of Tumblr Accounts Compromised (net-security.org)

Orome1 writes: Tumblr users have been targeted with an aggressive phishing campaign in the last week or so and are still being lured into entering their login credentials for access to adult content. And it seems that the scheme is working very well — GFI researchers have accessed one of the dropzones for the stolen credentials and have discovered a massive amount of data. What makes this phishing scheme stand out from others is the fact that the scammers are using the compromised Tumblr accounts to set up more and more phishing pages.
