Intel might even have the right people. What they have for sure, is the wrong management...

Freezing credit lines does squat to stop the identity thieves from hijacking your accounts. They got social security number, driver license number and dates of birth.
If your records show multiple dates of birth, you might be a victim of identity theft. Or your mom was trying to hide something.

they are ALL idiots licking the balls of the upper management
Given that we are talking about an executive manager... are you suggesting they spend copious amounts of time licking their own genitals?
You're suggesting they are all cats? That explains a lot of the behavior I see from execs.

Suppose the general is abusing his son. Suppose he is discussing something with his mistress. Suppose the general is dressing up in his daughter's clothes. Knowing any of that could make him vulnerable to coercion. This leverage could be used to influence the general in subtle ways.
One reason people objected to the collection of meta-data was that with sufficient, seemingly innocent, data it is possible to discern guilty behavior.
Congressional Candidate Brianna Wu Claims Moon-Colonizing Companies Could Destroy Cities By Dropping Rocks (washingtontimes.com) 642
Applehu Akbar quotes a report from Washington Times: A transgender-issues activist and Democratic candidate for Congress says the advent of the space tourism industry could give private corporations a "frightening amount of power" to destroy the Earth with rocks because of the Moon's military importance. Brianna Wu, a prominent "social justice warrior" in the "Gamergate" controversy who now is running for the House seat in Massachusetts' 8th District, suggested in a since-deleted tweet that companies could drop rocks from the Moon. "The moon is probably the most tactically valuable military ground for earth," the tweet said. "Rocks dropped from there have power of 100s of nuclear bombs." After users on social media questioned her scientific literacy, the congressional candidate clarified that the tweet was "talking about dropping [rocks] into our gravity well." Small space rocks can indeed do nuclear-weapons-scale damage if hitting the Earth at orbital speeds. But launching one from the moon, even setting aside issues of aiming, would still require escaping the satellite's gravitational field, a task that requires the power and thrust contained in a huge rocket.

In Australia, Censorship vs. DNS, and Porn As Network Driver 96
daria42 writes "Remember how Australia's planning to censor its Internet? Well, it looks as though the country's second-largest ISP, Optus, has made a stumble right out of the gate. Optus today confirmed you could circumvent its filtering technology simply by setting your PC to use a different DNS server than the default. Yup, it's really that easy. Oops."
And why would anyone want to change their DNS settings? angry tapir writes "While the Australian Government has extolled the virtues of its currently under construction National Broadband Network (NBN) in delivering e-health and government agency services to every Australian, adult content will be the major driver of consumer adoption."
