As early as 1995 Harry and David policies were that they only wished to retain 45% of their consumer customerbase because it was simply "too expensive" to provide ideal customer service. Oddly enough, they had and have little interest as well in business interests, probably because a laissez faire model of this type just won't work.
Oddly enough analyses have never examined this portion of their odd industry, which is the delivery of specialty foods of various sorts and at one time stood the chance of resounding success. As it is, because of this "BI" attitude, they're going out of business, having suffered bankruptcy twice and verging on it again (this latter is my opinion only, mind).
I've gotten several lately. Since I don't want Apple products and have nothing beyond the necessary basics installed, they've evidently picked up the e-mail address somewhere, but not the name.
Messages are passed in banned languages on Runes of Magic, and some fairly evident passages of information in agreed references. We will of course assume they're gamers simply passing banned information such as hacks.
It was pretty fatal at the end of the Middle Ages if you recall. But then most Americans certainly aren't students of history and I daresay most people.
An easy password in a game (worse, a SHARED one) can make everything vulnerable. Someone that plays in a group I head (in the game)...did just that. Vulnerability is much more human than software oriented and always will be. To make it shorter, don't trust. Four letter word, ya know.
Reporting crimes in the U.S. via 911 has gone down drastically since it's become common practice for the police to make forced entry into the house of whoever called them "to make sure they're safe and not being held hostage or something similar". Which means...calling emergency is an absolute last resort. Look the other way? No. Shut your eyes and run...and hope to hit a building for an alibi for not reporting it.
I am so utterly impressed by our U.S. law enforcement...
Now tell me wtf the point was of all this. But then they won't let you leave the United States without a passport either; maybe the fence was to keep us in.
For TS access you sign a contract. He did break it. At the time I left it was 5 years and 25 grand; last I checked it was the same. During pretrial you can expect "killing" conditions. He acted as a spy of sorts--rather stupid, but a spy--and suffered the consequences. The consensus seems to be it would have been better to just take him in the bushes and shoot him, as would have happened in most countries. Interesting situation.
This seems similar to the e-mail my wife got telling her that Chase security was partially breached...but anyone should only have her e-mail address. I am a Chase customer; no such notification. Containment is the name of the day, aye?
"But these days Ofcom's policy is to let the free market decide, and rely on the flawed premise about auctions to ensure efficient spectrum utilisation (which is Ofcom's remit: competition is to be encouraged, but only because it encourages greater exploitation). "
That isn't a government agency, is it? For shame, for shame.
Specifically, Copernic, which has both paid and free versions. Sadly enough, it doesn't include either Goggle or Bingo as original acts. Web Ferret may be better. The latter I believe would only be available from a few download sites like CNet.
Libre. From wikipedia "Gratis versus libre is the distinction between two meanings of the English adjective "free"; namely, "for zero price" (gratis) and "with few or no restrictions" (libre). The ambiguity of "free" can cause issues where the distinction is important, as it often is in dealing with laws concerning the use of information, such as copyright and patents.
The terms are largely used to categorise intellectual property, particularly computer programs, according to the licenses and legal restrictions that cover them, in the free software and open source communities, as well as the broader free culture movement. For example, they are used to distinguish freeware (gratis software) from free software (libre software)."
No, he shouldn't have posted details, think about it. White hat hacker. No details. Reporter may know details, but should not publish them. Why? because the details will probably be used.
Were nearly better than the article for amusement's sake. That said, I have two questions. Which was MS and which was Googlehead in the short...
And why not use Copernic? It's tracked anyway (something in TOS and EULA on most sites and browsers will tell ya anyway), but it works at least as well. Tad more accessible too. And also free.

I read El Reg
Do I qualify?
OH WTH
I keep losing my own personal data. Now who am I?
I just have one burning question...
When is the Deep Throat of El Reg gonna speak??
UM...I must have misunderstood...
SonicWall is getting an erection?
BI orientation

about intelligence...
Need to find intelligent users first.
wow!
A robot Reg reporter!!
And I'm never allowed to comment again...
and lab work is...
of course a proof.
Lol
and clearly you were never in the U.S. Navy.
Apple phishing
I've gotten several lately. Since I don't want Apple products and have nothing beyond the necessary basics installed, they've evidently picked up the e-mail address somewhere, but not the name.
Updates? bah, I love getting hacked.
I've used them many times on a flight and I'm a complete idiot.
See? No change.
As a one-time customer
I would have thought they'd leave it up as a brag. Why the hell doesn't the Reg contact them about whether they removed it by mistake?
simple
42
(500th reference, I think I win a prize of some kind.)
as a fairly chilling note...
Messages are passed in banned languages on Runes of Magic, and some fairly evident passages of information in agreed references. We will of course assume they're gamers simply passing banned information such as hacks.
I want a special warning sticker
for the Reg! 'nuff said.
um...
So do England and the U.S., unfortunately. In general it's called "maintenance of power".
Sharing infections
It was pretty fatal at the end of the Middle Ages if you recall. But then most Americans certainly aren't students of history and I daresay most people.
so who says it isn't
a black hole?
And on a secondary note wth can't your signin manager figure out that "coom" is "com"? dumb AI's. Omigod it just took my computer offline for tha
Texas, civilization and radio technology.
At least they've started hearing 'bout the new thing called stereo now.
National Security Act
Read the provisions.
Freedom of Information Act my eye.
Still a question I have.
Which bone?
I tried that...
I turned into a Reg reader. It works!!!
--G
Well...
How about a free ticket (and back) to England first?
tracking capabilities
To at least an extent these were available to the U.S. military and other U.S. organizations at least by 1975.
um...
So there is the mistaken impression that the ordinary FBI professional knows spelling and grammar? I'm amazed.
Ahem
Poor excuse for putting on a few since wifey left ya.
and no one but no one is invulnerable
An easy password in a game (worse, a SHARED one) can make everything vulnerable. Someone that plays in a group I head (in the game)...did just that. Vulnerability is much more human than software oriented and always will be. To make it shorter, don't trust. Four letter word, ya know.
I'd never steal your soles
Really.
The photograph at the top of the book...
which Reg reporter is it? I mean, seriously, curiosity has me going here...
I'll take the server.
And, like most people who use computers, I have no curiosity. None at all.
odd that you didn't mention
Reporting crimes in the U.S. via 911 has gone down drastically since it's become common practice for the police to make forced entry into the house of whoever called them "to make sure they're safe and not being held hostage or something similar". Which means...calling emergency is an absolute last resort. Look the other way? No. Shut your eyes and run...and hope to hit a building for an alibi for not reporting it.

Loss of Data
This seems similar to the e-mail my wife got telling her that Chase security was partially breached...but anyone should only have her e-mail address. I am a Chase customer; no such notification. Containment is the name of the day, aye?

and, well, dangit
I have Aussie friends who play RoM too. Not that that places heavy traffic on my connection or anything...
to the point
"But these days Ofcom's policy is to let the free market decide, and rely on the flawed premise about auctions to ensure efficient spectrum utilisation (which is Ofcom's remit: competition is to be encouraged, but only because it encourages greater exploitation). "
That isn't a government agency, is it? For shame, for shame.
Glenn
Great point, by the way.
Assange (TM)
I had a really good assange today. After all that constipation it felt good.
I'm sorry, but...
this sounds like sheep shit to me.

use a desktop search engine
Specifically, Copernic, which has both paid and free versions. Sadly enough, it doesn't include either Goggle or Bingo as original acts. Web Ferret may be better. The latter I believe would only be available from a few download sites like CNet.

libre and its meaning
Libre. From wikipedia "Gratis versus libre is the distinction between two meanings of the English adjective "free"; namely, "for zero price" (gratis) and "with few or no restrictions" (libre). The ambiguity of "free" can cause issues where the distinction is important, as it often is in dealing with laws concerning the use of information, such as copyright and patents.

court tweets
But did he, like, tweet the decision? I mean, talking about setting a realistic precedent...
Glenn
okay
I was very near rolling on the floor laughing--literally.
Glenn
wow
So that's why I went to jail anyway and then they complained about me trying to bribe them.
--The IT angle is the irony, friend.

Chris Russo
Is a fairly well-known white hat hacker.
--Glenn
No
No, he shouldn't have posted details, think about it. White hat hacker. No details. Reporter may know details, but should not publish them. Why? because the details will probably be used.
