Thanks for saying this. It saved me the time of reading the rest of your comment.

I don't think I'd be saying "Don't touch my junk bro" but I would loudly say, "it tickles when you touch me there".

Or "Hey! No wait...do that again!"

We've seen how this plays out in the past. The first contact Apple is going to make is with their legal team to sue those researchers out of existence. How dare they discover a hole and tell them about it.

Submission + - Former Senator claims US government suppressing UFO evidence (go.com)

Submitted by jfengel on Friday May 03, 2013 @12:55PM

jfengel writes: Former Sen. Mike Gravel (D-Alaska) says the White House has helped keep the truth about the “extraterrestrial influence that is investigating our planet” from the public. He was joined by five former Representatives. Paradigm Research paid each $20k to appear at a press conference, at which Gravel said:

“It goes right to the White House, and of course, once the White House takes a position, ‘well there's nothing going on’...it just goes down the chain of command, everyone stands toe. ... The smoking gun of the whole issue, which is when they saw hovering space craft in Wyoming and South Dakota over the ICBM missile silos that the missiles couldn't work.”

There are quite some interesting information in this interview. The take out of this interview is — "...there is no reason at all to use MySQL 5.5 instead of MariaDB 5.5. The same will be true for the next generation."

An anonymous reader writes: Today anyone can head out to the store and buy a 3D printer:
Only a few years ago the notion of finding a 3D printer in your local office supply store would have been ludicrous. But today, it really happened. What was particularly striking was finding listings for various Cube supplies at Staples' website. It's real, folks.
