I hope most devs know better than to open a .doc from some stranger on the internet.

Why don't Germany just send those filthy racists to “improvement camps” in Poland?

“Labour makes you free (from racism)”

We take bad PR seriously

Out goal is to connect people with advertisers

Dumb fucks

We might start working on it if the media won't stop whining soon

Actually the sensitivity of the actual chip thingy is 88.8%, 95% was for the same test done in a lab if I understood it correctly. The specificity was 100%, which means it doesn't give any false positives. The number of controls in the study was pretty low though, so the real specificity might be lower.

You probably have to take a more accurate test to get a prescription for antiretrovirals. Not sure if the voodoo doctor requires it though

These comparison are really useful when have never seen a baseball field and only have an extremely vague idea of how far a pitcher is standing from the strike zone.

To be honest, I don't actually know how big an olympic-sized swimming pool is either

This is exactly how I would describe a DDoS attack as well. As sophisticated as using a sledgehammer to disassemble a computer

This has to be the first time in history someone has been wronged by not being shown an ad

Because the are lazy and don't care. They just want to google something and get some kind of result (or an ad, I'm not sure if they can tell the difference).

Can I have all the information they have collected about me refunded?

First VHS was strangling them. Later everyone with an internet connection could "steal" all the movies they had worked so "hard" to produce. And now when this "theft" has finally started to decline, the movie theaters are wrapping their slimy hands around their necks.

Is it? The way I understand it, verisign reports that their customers (verisign sells DDoS migitation services it turns out) have seen more and larger DDoS attacks in 2016, not attacks against verisign's infrastructure.
