In the motherland Bank steals from Hackers.

10 * 365 * 24 / 5700 = 15 hours of jail sentence per phone!

Did anybody get arrested for posting on Slashdot?

Not just printers, I have noticed dell laptop batteries do the same irrespective of how much I have used them.

Well, I had like 4 passwords. One for the Hub account like Google, one for bank accounts, one for social networks and one for web hosts, course providers, etc. At some places I have Multi-factor Authentication setup. How do you remember all those passwords? Do you use a password vault? What if that gets compromised? What sucks is that I can google my old LinkedIn password and find it in a bad password list. Did they store the passwords in reversible format? Or was it decrypted from the hashes? On a side note, a week ago I bought a custom T-Shirt from a local company 99tshirts.com. When I hit the forgot password link, it emailed me my password. Who does that these days!

Most user ids have become emails these days. Even if it is not mandatory to use an email as the login, people prefer to use that because one does not have to remember a unique id for each site.

I don't know how but LinkedIn has linked all 5 of my email addresses in! And that is enough for the hackers to log in. But, I think these logins are automated too. Otherwise they could have used a proxy server to get past the country checks put in place by the other sites.

Thanks to LinkedIn hackers are attempting to login to my accounts on sites like Steam, Facebook, eBay, Twitter, etc. Now, I know better and use different passwords for different sites. But, at least these sites have security in place to warn me of suspicious logins while denying the logins.

What if Hacking was included in the Olympics? I bet Russia would be the world champions. But, then again they might be banned for enhancing their skills and good ol' China could walk away with the gold.

What about Adults?

Essentially they are paying for the community of users that will come along with it. Building your own platform doesn't guarantee you will have users. Just look at Windows Phone.

We need reservation (Quota) for the underweight people now.

Desperation of an old man.

Lead is a Heavy Metal after all.
