True, especially if you always use the same login name, or it requires an email address for login and you've had the same email address since like forever.

I use spamgourmet as an email proxy for such websites (I recommend it!).

In this paper, the author believed at first he was observing metors. From the size of the birds (assumed to be 1 meter), he calculated they were flying at a height of 9 km.

Submission + - Phone operator sues brothers for releasing app (gazette-ariegeoise.fr)

KingofSpades writes: French brothers Michael and Sébastien M., unable to watch television on their new cell phone — despite paying the corresponding "unlimited TV" phone plan — wrote an app to automate changes of user parameters, including user agent, in order of accessing the TV feed of their cell operator, SFR. They released a free app and a donate version (1.99 euros) of the app (likely named "G.Player TV"). They have been sued by operator SFR in the court of the sunny region of Ariège (France). Their lawyer stated that "that there is no evidence that non-subscribers have been able to use the app. Therefore there it did not provide a free access to a paying service".

Both have been convicted and must pay a 800 euros fine (suspended) and 192 euros to operator SFR.
