Not necessarily. Your point should be that (a) you have security concerns, (b) your boss has a lot of concerns that he must juggle and his decision is right, (c) you feel of course that it is a shame that security concerns are not addressed, but you fully support your bosses decision. Your bosses boss has his own list of concerns. And he might then think that a website with security concerns is actually _not_ a good idea. So he disagrees with your assessment that your boss is right, he disagrees with your boss, and tells your boss to address these concerns.

And _talk_ to someone in legal. No email. As soon as you send an email or anything in writing, you have created a liability. If _you_ are the reason why a vulnerabiility lead to a lost court case, that's on your head. Even if you have a _good_ legal department.

In that kind of situation they would be most likely found jointly + separately liable. Which means all perpetrators together have to pay for the damage, but the victim can demand the money of each single person. So if one has $100,000 and another has $10,000 the victim can get $100,000 from the first one and $10,000 from the second one. Of course the total limit is the damage award.

That's why ambulance chasers often try to find someone with money at fault, even if only a tiny bit. If someone smashes up your car, and the judge finds that person to be 99% at fault and the town 1% at fault by putting the traffic lights into an unusual position, then the victim can ask the town for the _whole_ amount of damages.

Actually, you want to take into account what percentage of perpetrators are caught. If a gang of ten causes $10,000 worth of damage, and you catch only one, it is only justified that the one should pay for your total damage - much fairer to put the risk onto the perpetrator (who had the choice of joining in or not) than on the victim.

Apple didn't _need_ an exception.

First, chargers and cables should be separate. You can take an Apple cable (Lightning on one end, USB 2 on the other hand) and plug it into an iPhone and a Samsung or Nokia USB charger and it works. And the charger is the expensive bit, not the cable.

Second, Apple sells a Micro-USB to Lightning adapter, so if you have a charger with a Micro USB cable that cannot be removed, you can still use it to charge an Apple phone. Not that I think Apple is selling many of these⦠So that's why Apple didn't need to get any exception, because selling that adapter means they are within the law.

But in the end, there are plenty of people with several Apple devices, and using any charger with any device, so there is nothing here that would be against the spirit of the EU directive. The point isn't Micro USB, the point is using the same charger for more than one device.

Has nothing to do with feeling secure. We just want the f***ers to go away and die. There's nobody in Germany saying "Oh, I'm so afraid of these neo nazis, please protect me". They are saying "get rid of the bastards, kick their arses, and I don't want to hear their insane rubbish". Then of course there is the surreal point that these guys would have been the first to be put into a concentration camp 80 years ago. I mean there are _gay_ neo nazis. Don't they know anything about history?

Not really a _problem_. It gives every good and law-abiding citizen a target to get rid of their aggressions without anyone complaining.

"The Passage" by Justin Cronin should be an interesting read.

Do you actually have any evidence for this? Seriously, there are huge amounts of accusations flying around, but no real evidence. And what are the alternatives? Walled garden, becoming property of the advertisers, or a UI that only Stallman could love.

There's also plenty of stuff that is perfectly illegal to buy, sell and possess, and some for very good reasons. For the embarrassing stuff, complete anonymity doesn't help you hiding stuff from your wife, because she still sees money disappearing from bank accounts and you have to explain that. If she doesn't notice that, then your bank will sell you a credit-card like thing where you have to pay in money and then can use it without anyone else knowing.

Explanation: The owner doesn't want glassholes in his restaurant. Apology: None forthcoming. Clarification: People wearing "Google Glass" are commonly referred to as "glassholes", and treated as assholes.

Bad but correct reviews are not harmful. To the contrary, they force the company to improve their products and services, which can only improve their profits in the long term.

There are plenty of cruises that will leave from Britain, mostly Southampton. 1. You avoid idiocies like the one in the article. 2. There are no Americans on board!!!! Or only those that want to avoid Americans.

Let's be honest, they're a pain in the arse and the last people you would want near you on a relaxing holiday.

Meant to be sarcastic, but absolutely true except for some misunderstandings or misrepresentations.

Yes, your body is very keen on eating high calorie foods, because during 99% of human history people could eat all the food available to them without bad side effects, and still the majority of people on earth can.

Why would anyone want to ruin a perfectly fine iPad? (Don't know about the Surface Pro or RT).
