I have always pronounced it Gif, even though I know it is wrong, and jif is correct. I figure if people can get away with hair ace ment instead of hair ass ment I can do this :D

I thought that the new, properly sensitive way of pronouncing it was "harris-ment" rather than the traditional "her-ass-ment" because the the latter was too sexually harassing...

US Suspects Iran Was Behind a Wave of Cyberattacks 292

SternisheFan writes in with this Times article about more trouble brewing between the U.S. and Iran. "American intelligence officials are increasingly convinced that Iran was the origin of a serious wave of network attacks that crippled computers across the Saudi oil industry and breached financial institutions in the United States, episodes that contributed to a warning last week from Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta that the United States was at risk of a 'cyber-Pearl Harbor.' After Mr. Panetta's remarks on Thursday night, American officials described an emerging shadow war of attacks and counterattacks already under way between the United States and Iran in cyberspace. Among American officials, suspicion has focused on the 'cybercorps' that Iran's military created in 2011 — partly in response to American and Israeli cyberattacks on the Iranian nuclear enrichment plant at Natanz — though there is no hard evidence that the attacks were sanctioned by the Iranian government. The attacks emanating from Iran have inflicted only modest damage. Iran's cyberwarfare capabilities are considerably weaker than those in China and Russia, which intelligence officials believe are the sources of a significant number of probes, thefts of intellectual property and attacks on American companies and government agencies."

Worst that can happen: Britain says no, what can the United States do then? Britain has to agree for the extradition, yes? If this guy gets extradited it's not only on the American government that's responsible

No, the worst that could happen is that he fights extradition in a British court and loses, with the judgement rendered in such a way that it drastically lowers the bar for future cases.

Right, boycott. Then, on the off chance that the boycott is successful in reducing profits, all the "cartels," will do is complain to the media and the lawmakers that "dem ebbul piwates aw steawing fwom us," and (surprise, surprise) even more laws get passed in their favor, against us.

Oh, and by the way, I rarely pirate my stuff. I do, on occasion, download a movie to see if it worth buying when it's released on DVD. Bought quite a few that way. In fact, bought the whole Kevin Smith collection after downloading and watching JSBSB.

Works the other way, too. It's kept me from wasting my time and money on trash like SW:E1/2/3...
