Their ISP and storage costs will increase to handle the new format and you have to pay for that somehow.

At least they have 4k content.

You do know that the statement is not a lie? South Africa "corrective rape" is in the same league.

You're still failing at point #2. Why was there insufficient security? Ordinarily you'd think that the user had a poor password, but then you said this:

And what is precisely why you don't get this. This is an either/or case. Either there was a vulnerability on the part of the cloud vendor, or the end users handled their passwords improperly. Given the number of people involved, it seriously points to the former.

According to 'blame the victim' mentality, you shouldn't send your e-mail address around and it's your fault you're getting spam.

So when a cloud vendor says "we store your photos securely and have your privacy as our #1 goal" or whatnot, that's equivalent to putting photos in an envelope and putting them in a post office? I don't think so. Try another analogy.

It's not black and white at all. A crime was committed.

This is like the old joke of the guy going to the doctor and saying "my arm hurts when I do this" and the doctor says "then don't do it!". You're the doctor.

If my account was hacked then that's not the same as leaving my house unlocked. I had a password on it and someone picked the lock.

I guess that's the answer if you blame the victim.

This is dumb on the level of 'blame the victim' dumb. Should everything online be a cost-benefit analysis now?

You know who should be in trouble? The person/people who stole the photos in the first place

If I have naked selfies printed out in my house[*] and someone comes in and steals them, I won't get "well you shouldn't have naked photos of yourself in the house". I get "hey, they stole items from you!". You don't blame the person that made the lock. You don't blame the person if they left the house unlocked. Breaking and entering is a crime. Full stop. There may be other issues if the criminal acquired a master key or picked the lock, or the lock was faulty to begin with, but the blame lies on the person that walked in without authorization and stole property.

What I do with my personal equipment and how I store it and how it can be accessed isn't your business nor do I have to justify myself to you about it.

[*] I do not. You are welcome.

I don't think you've seen how CS classes work in your typical grade school if you think OOP and recursion is a week 2 activity.

It is actually quite simple, about 200 TVs, all in one room, playing a differing episode. The marathon last the duration of the longest episode. BAM!

This campaign seems to me to pointless and idiotic. I saw the propaganda video that Greenpeace produced, with is heavy handed at best, and I am at a total loss over what they hoped to achieve. Ok, so they bullied a toy company into dropping a partnership with an oil company, but to what end? Now Lego models will never have oil company logos in the sticker sheets?

Greenpeace, you have truly won a landmark victory here....

This is a great idea, it makes the whole engine room smell *DELICIOUS*.

I'm thinking they would be wiping their nose on their hand first or something. The flaw with this plan is that you have to have someone willing to infect themselves with a horrible disease like Ebola. This is harder than finding regular suicide bombers because Ebola takes a long time to kill you in comparison and the death is so horrible. Also, most people with Ebola are under quarantine, you can can't just walk up and lick them. Then you have to get your Ebola sufferer back to the west before they start showing symptoms and even then everybody flying out of a hot zone is going to come under increased scrutiny. Your Ebola bomber could very well find himself trapped in customs when the symptoms emerge and never carry out the attack.

As always, the devil is in the details.
