AMEN! Gaiman is a complete dick for sucking the funding from indy projects. He's got the cash and pay for this out of pocket. Proving his true colours once again.

If you think it's so safe then why don't you take all that google money and pay some of our medical bills? You can start with mine. Oh, wait, you don't want to? Shut the fuck up... I'm tired of you standing on a gilded soap box telling us how to fix the world.

A sad state of /. when reddit has posts that are both more informative and cogent.

I doubt, sincerely, that he'll veto this. Talk and actions are entirely different things. And he's got just as much ass to kiss as anyone else. He'll spin it just like everything else and say: "We're going to keep an eye on this...." Just like he's done before. But, once it's law no eyeball watching will do a damn thing to stop the ball from rolling.

No doubt Zuckerberg wants more slave labor to pay the tax base that he and his corp. are evading. I have a better idea Mark, move your ass and everyone else to an impoverished nation. No doubt you'll enjoy the infrastructure, benefits, gov't, and protection that all affords you.

The WITCH going live right before the end of the world prediction... coincidence? I think not.

I'm not trying to be harsh either, but seriously an app dedication? Was she a ground breaking coder? Did she sponsor your education? It just seems like a very inappropriate way to honour her.

If you want to dedicate something to her, tell your family and friends about the first time she taught you something, or the things you do that have been passed down from her. Hold onto her lessons and events, they're the most precious thing anyone can give you. And when you share them with others you will be honouring her life.

If you become a speaker of the dead for her then she won't be forgot in your lifetime.

and it's underwriters.

Seriously, why is everyone screaming security when it was not a hack but a social engineering entry? And why cry for an idiot who had NO personal backups of his own data? He's an idiot.

Yes, the same Mat who did not back anything up locally or (shutter to think) redundantly, is an expert. If this sorry excuse is what passes an expert, I think my grandma has a good chance at a new career.

What an idiot.

Why does the US or any gov. allow key systems to be on the WWW? I'm often baffled when I read stories of a key system going down because it was hacked, or ddos, or virus, or etc... Take the power grid and missle defense systems. Why would those computers need net access? A closed net yes. But when you read that people working there are surfing porn you know full well this is a wide open access. So what benefit can outweigh this security risk?

Since a good portion of state troopers now have the ability to crack a cell phone in their car, what kind of company security issues is this going to create? (not to mention the personal ones)

I hope something like this will bring enough attention to the area to start cleaning it up. Outside of the US I've never heard or seen so much violence, yet no one talks about it.

I lived in Brownsville a very short time. It's akin to living in my home town (Detroit) but with more bullets, less police and a complete media blackout. The Bush family has a home in the wealthy section of the subdivision so I suspect this has something to do with it. But I found it weird that grenade bombing of buildings in MX less than 1000ft from the border never hit the news. One spring when Brownsville campus of UofT had to be closed since the bullets from across the river were hitting cars and the classrooms the newspaper never ran an article on it. A few miles down the road duffel bags with human heads were found. National news never once said a word. The entire border seems to draw a dead zone of actual media events. The federal money that's pumped into Brownsville is staggering. Yet the crime is off the charts. I honestly found Detroit a less threatening and dangerous place to live.
