All those years selling Windows and security was an after thought... Probably just doesn't wnat anyone taking pictures of that godawful Metro GUI.

And If you're looking for the Superintendant of the District: Bille Rondinelli, Superintendent brondinelli@southfayette.org

..no wait. Actually I totally enjoy saying it in this case.

Yes, because if you come here from an RSS link and choose to go to the classic site, you're looped right back into beta. It's more than an annoyance and it took me a few tries befoer I figured out that I was better off cut and pasting the link in direct. I'm really starting to sour on the whole experience - and since 90% of what /. posts lately is stuff that I've already seen on a number of my source feeds, the only reason to come here is for the comments - whcih beta is making it hard to get to. Give it a rest Dice. Slashdot is never going to be a major profit center. Either give it up, or lose all readership.

all the articles would be lamenting how MS gave the kiddies the tools to hack. Maybe all these authors can get off their asses and instead of commenting how bad MS/Apple/Google/Samsung/Etc. are maybe they could do something of value to the effort themselves. Oh, that's right - it's much easier to write and point fingers.

but I can't feel bad for anyone that trusted a 'bank' called Mt. Gox or 'bankers' named PirateAt40.

No, banks are protected by the FDIC. Mt.Gox is like leaving your money under the mattress in a hotel and then expecting it to be there when you come back again.

+1 - (Never have the damn mod points when I need them!)
Thanks for an informative and lucid reply to an off handed comment.

>B of A and Target credit cards users are protected by Visa/MC/FDIC. Define 'protected'.

I have a handlheld green light pen laser that runs off of two AAA cells and I can hit clouds quite easily. When demoing for friends I have to be particulary careful as my town is in the flight path of a major airport. I'm confident that if I wanted to (and I don't, of course) I could easily hit any one of the planes on approach.

of the beta. The only thing the two of them have ever agreed on....

Run by the townships communications/PR department. Not by the cop at the front desk who is going to look at you with a blank expression and say, "So what do you want us to do about it?" For a crime to be committed, the cops need to ascribe a dollar value to the stolen item. Having had my home broken into by a relative who took only mementos - irreplacable mementos - that had no real dollar value I can tell you first hand that they are not going to call out an APB for someone's Twitter handle. If you believe that they would, then I think you are the one living in a SNL skit.

Yes, I forgot to include that - thanks!

Oh how I would love to be there to see the RCA Victor Dog expression on the Police face when he tries to describe what the 'stolen item' is. "Your what was stolen now? Your bird? What the hell is a Twittle?"

His sound activated switch is a piece of crap. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T...
