Although you have a point, I think it is safe to assume that if someone's house is broken into, he will report it. The same is true for most violent crimes.
I agree it is a bit more problematic for White-Collar and technological crimes, since many times the victim is unaware of being attacked. Although the uncaught criminal rate may be higher than in violent crimes, I still think most are caught. And sorry, no citation.

Actually you are wrong. Less than 50% of these cases are ever cleared.

Since when does Microsoft have a capital S?

Oh my god, this is worse than a spelling or grammar nazi.

I don't even know what to call this new species of troll......

As soon as I ascend in nethack I'll get to those other titles.

Hehe I love you, but I may be one of the few to have spent hours in the basement of Lawrence Hall of Science playing on the teletype terminals.

I call Bullshit. What "people" are you talking about? The people around here are concerned with

As a matter of fact this was a popular topic around here a few years ago.
It turns out, there ARE people that want access to the computers in their car, they
believe they can do a better job, and that mods are a good thing. Smart phones are
the big fad these days, so you read about unlocking and rooting frequently.

Please, for the sake of my gram-gram, don't go near ChromeOS.

Shit, I just installed it in a virtual machine (Parallels has a menu item, "Download Chrome OS").
I hope your gram gram is ok!

kudos to the person who will find them all and format to ext4 file system.

awesome post, but since it is almost halloween, why not a killer file system like reiserfs?

HP ? When was the last time they were relevant? Now they have tried to buy
their way into another market, and again, noone cares. Even the printers are crap
nowadays.

We have a few in NYC that are on the border of paying us to read them they are so worthless.

an accurate assessment if ever I've seen one! start with the post and daily news.....

Lazy? Why would I want to type html ever?

because having known how to since the 90's, it isn't such a big deal to type html tags, and it is what keeps a bunch of idiots pasting
a bunch of idiotic links all over the damn place in the comments. And this is news for nerds, we like doing shit like that.
If we wanted "normal people news" and features we wouldn't be here.

I'm going to this event in San Jose to hear him speak and perhaps give me some good advice around IPv6.

We'll think about it, Vint.
