Well had they deleted the password and someone still accessed the network without authorization and the FBI investigated the situation (much like they are now) then the Cardinals could have been charged with obstruction of justice under the SOX act Section 802.

As a Windows user with an iPhone I am very happy that they are bringing Cortana to iOS. I like unifying my environment, but I don't want to buy a new device to do that.

Well, here goes my productive day.

I got there and the page was "blocked by my organization", then I realized that I was IT and opened it up.

I guess I've always misunderstood blackholes. I was under the impression that they were simply a vacuum created as a by product of the every expanding "space". Sure they are sucking things up and growing, but space is always expanding.

I went over this and I feel like I need a little context to understand exactly what this is besides some guys ramblings about Verizon. Or is this an official document "leaked" from Verizon?

Re:Twitter, but without code on Wednesday May 13, 2015 @12:19PM (#9540046)
The whole bubble site is actually pretty flaky. Just for the sake of curiosity (and I saw it was free to create websites with) I tried to create an account. Even after creating the account it keeps redirecting me back to the pricing page where it wants me to select my payment plan. Bubble.is, no thanks.

Also not a fan of the alery box that shows up on every page as you try to navigate their website letting me know:

> We're still saving your latest changes... please wait a moment!

> Are you sure you want to leave this page?

Re:Twitter, but without code on Wednesday May 13, 2015 @11:07AM (#9539461)
I think site is trying to get push the idea of "look what click and drag website makers are capable of doing". The nottwitter site was built with bubble.is by a person without any programming experience, it was all click and drag.

As a web developer I see the promise in these website builder sites for the layman. By simplifying the task of making a website it reduces the need to hire costly developers. In my experience though, sites built using these cookie cutters quickly outgrow the platform or tend to break catastrophically because the people using them have no clue what is going on.

I've read so many great things about this game; however, the little bit I played on a friends computer just leaves me wanting more (especially at +20$). I understand that this is relatively cheap in gaming standards I just can't get there.
Re:Texas college professor tries to flunk his whole class on Tuesday April 28, 2015 @09:08AM (#9451937)
This is a shame. When I first started college I felt that citations were always a burden. Five years later and two degrees I wouldn't even dream about writing without citing my work. If these kids want to cheat, they shouldn't be rewarded. But hey, the more the kids fluff off the less I have to worry about my field of study being over populated by people that can ACTUALLY do the job..

This is what happens when people "know stuff about computers." I know IT costs money, but we exist for a reason. If they were willing to pay over 4k in overages they could have afforded some properly trained IT.

What happens when this is used to clone a bank website for nefarious purposes?

You don't seem to be the only one:

I do think that contacting the company though might help.

Even if the AeroPress was to lack body, the coffee produced is still better than a drip.

That being said. How can I check our cert? The current cert predates my employment with the county and this is something I have never had to deal with.

Please explain your reasoning on this. I can't seem to wrap my head around this statement.

Thanks for the post. The story made me laugh.
