Comment Like competitors would ever pay for this (Score 4, Insightful) 302

From the "hackers" We already contacted with their competitors and they didn't show interest in buying their data -probably because the mails got to the wrong people- so now we are offering them for the highest bidder. Seriously, how do they think T-Mobile's competitors are going to legally pay and use such information?

I can't believe I had to read so far down to finally get the correct perspective. It's college, go there to buckle down and study and use your computer for college related activities. That means getting on board with the program, participating and following the rules to gain an education. Obtain an education, then decide what you are going to challenge in the world.

You don't want anyone messing with your 'pyooter, then take one that's just for school and hook it up to the network.

Honestly, the results of your high school work landed you at Central Michigan? Let's face it, you aren't some L337 d00d heading to MIT. Consider this a second chance to prove you aren't third rate and hit the books. Otherwise, you'll just be another loser with a college degree selling shoes at the mall.

Comment How's Obama going to cut the budget doing this? (Score 0) 358

So won't this just be adding another program that does the same thing. Climate, weather, come on, enough already.

Imagine a state that already has a Department of Child Protective Services saying that they need to create a new department called Department of Kid Protective Services because child abuse is getting worse so another department and increased overhead will certainly make everything better. Naturally, opponents to this would get to hear cries of Won't somebody please think of the children?

Comment Of course they pay people to come up with this (Score 4, Insightful) 106

He's with the National Cyber Security Center, and for security purposes there's always this dramatic "the hacker caused damages of X dollars" where X is very large. They want X to be huge so that equally large sums can be spent on bringing offenders to justice, so that the press has this huge amount of loss to report for dramatic purposes, so that huge civil suits can be brought, etc. Additionally, this Beckstrom fellow devises "Beckstrom's Law" and now he can be called in for expert testimony, he being the expert because "Beckstrom's Law" is named after him (by himself of course, but that's just a minor point).
