> You can quite easily turn off iCloud and use whatever service you want

I'm afraid I must say "good luck with that". The bar to replace services that are built into Iphones or Ipads by Apple, as a supported service and built directly into their operating systems, is quite high.

If you have a Gmail account, look for the Last Account Activity at the bottom right. Use the Details link to see your recent history. Set your preferences to alert you to unusual account activity. More accounts should notify you of unusual logins and login attempts.

The good news is that Namecheap found the attack early and took measures to defeat the attempt to log into NameCheap accounts, the bad news is this is not just a security issue for Namecheap but seems to be along the lines of the groups of Russian Hackers which gained access to hundreds of thousands of email accounts and millions of user Id’s and passwords last month so its an issue for all Internet Users

Is that sarcasm? In reality, I don't generaly carry credit cards at all. I do have some, but they are used very sparingly.

Learn the credit card company's tricks. Have a high balance card? Get a great cash advance offer for 6 months? Beware. All your payments go toward the main balance and the great cash advance is untouched and then jumps to high interest after the introduction period. Buy a pair of socks or other purchases? Guess what your paymnets go towards while your cash advance at the higher rate continues to roll over month to month.

If you use a cash advance or other promotion, put the card in a safe and don't touch it. Pay it off. Don't carry the card. If I had only one card, and it was tied to everything, I could not take advantage of great offers when they come up without being taken to the cleaners. Rotate the cards. Use the perks, but know the game. Using them carelessly is very expensive.

Ever have a card company call you to find out why you are not using a card with a 0 balance? I have. Told them their interest rate was too high. I was using other cards instead. Got a much lower competitive rate. Now another card is in the lockbox unused. Can't do this with only one card. Use the leverage.

Not counting the huge amount of our food that comes from those places.

If you knew EU bureaucracy, you'd get the joke.

You've shown negligence, not malice. To me this is clearly negligent homocide. I see no evidence of murder (intentional homocide) much less malice aforethought. This doesn't mean they aren't there, but you haven't even started to make that case.

No. The only way to hope to (re-?)establish order and honor in the police is to hold them to the very laws they are expected to enforce. If there are no consequences when they disobey the laws, then they will continue to become more arbitrary, dishonorable, an untrustworthy.

For that matter, they should be held to a higher standard. A police officer should be held more stringently to obedience to the law than a normal citizen, and the punishment should be harsher (though not by too much) when they break the laws.

That they are not is quite clear, so their powers should be reduced, because they have been repeatedly shown to not be trusted with the ones that they have. For this reason I am in favor of requiring a camera that they cannot disable to be upon them at all times, and that malfunction of the camera should mean that they are not paid for that period AND that an independent investigation of the case is launched. It should record sound as well as video, and should be immediatedly transmitted to a secure read-only cache. Also, they should be on leave without pay from the instant the camera is disabled until it is repaired.
This is clearly an onerous requirement, and if the police had been shown to be at all trustworthy I wouldn't consider anything this strict. They have, however, shown that they cannot be so trusted.

Also, any action that they take while the camera is known to be non-operational and they are in uniform should be considered taken "under the cloak of authority", i.e., if they commit a crime, there is an additional penalty because they are fraudulently claiming to represent the law. Because of this the camera should be equipped with a soft beep that plays intermittently while it is operational, and a louder chirp that plays intermittently (once every 2 sec.?) while it is non-functional. Perhaps the chirp could encode the camera id, so that others recording in the area would have information as to which one.

I've been on the internet too long. I've seen them all. Small boobs, large boobs, boobs that have their own zip code and boobs that make it necessary to check further south to determine their owner's sex because it could well be a guy (and to make matters worse, yes, I've even seen guys who'd probably profit from wearing a bra and thanks a bunch for reminding me of that picture...).

There's simply nothing special about any kind of tits anymore. Unless they can do some sort of trick like juggling balls or something they're just another pair of boobs. Let's be blunt here, after you've seen a few thousands, it gets boring.

Probably, but if you're pushing 60, a nude pic won't end your career. People would probably pay to NOT have to look at it.

OK, then *I'll* say that the supervisor who said that was legal superior and ordered police to follow it should be charged with ... I want "conspiracy to commit manslaughter", but I don't think that's possible, so I'd settle for malfeasance. And I don't think that excuses the officer from negligent homocide....unless you want to argue that he did it intentionally.

The fact that this is a part of a pattern of behavior means that I don't think he should be exonerated even if the evidence were to show that in this particular case the bicyclist *did* swerve out in front of him.

I'd guess Saint Steve wouldn't mind. As long as it sells, who gives a fuck?

No, but it's tempting to use it. It's pretty much slapped in your face, it's free and it's buzzword-compliant. Very hard to say no for Joe Randomuser.

It doesn't matter because idiocy. Not boobs.

We informed, we taught, we blogged, we ranted, we raved, all 'til we turned blue in the face and had carpal tunnel, but people didn't want to listen and ... ohhhh shiny!

Now, my (not too) sincerest apologies if I feel a wee bit ... well, why not outright call it satisfied, yes, satisfied, that this happened. No, we were not fearmongering, no we were not crying wolf, no, we were not scaridy-cats.

WE WERE BLOODY RIGHT, DAMMIT!

Nah, all the alcohol washes that right out of the system.
