  It’s cool, plus I got to post about the Ass Hats at Equifax, again.

  Re: Re: What should happen is...

  Sorry to have to be explicit here. I’m referring to the ASS HATS that made the decisions to leave vulnerabilities in place not the grunts that carry out their bidding. But thanks for pointing out my lackadaisical effort at concise communication in this instance.

  What should happen is...

  The employees at Equifax that were responsible for the lack of security should probbly be included in the charges as accomplices.

  They, as indicated above, are actually complicit. The "Hack" could not have happend or been as sucessful, or gone undetected for so long if they were not.

  Don't mind me, I'm just here for the snacks.

  The only reason I participate in any of the Stupid Bowl festivities is for the snacks.

  Re: Re: Before reading your comment, I'm going to make a guess

  Me thinks Zof is actually correct here, about the MTA'a solicitors, thet they are in fact cunts. Sometimes it takes someone, like a 14 year olde, that lacks depth and sensitivity, to accuratly locate and identify the real cunts in life.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: No reaction like a knee-jerk reaction

  By the way, I agree with all of you. I’m generally of the opinion that If, especially in a case like this, you were offended, one needs to grow-the-fuck-up, it is an offensive world out there. Also, I’d not considered the New Aryans (Isn’t that a band name?) might be offended either. Guess I need to open up to new ideas.

  No reaction like a knee-jerk reaction

  I suspect the part of the video that is hard to argue where a student, especially one of Jewish descent might take offence is the Chambery bits.

  And I'm not talking about The Chamber of Commerce.

  I do however agree it was too bad the "Adults in the room" weren't.

• On the post: Canadian Wireless Carrier Rogers 'Surprised' That People Like Unlimited Data Plans

  Shocked I Say!

  My wife was really surprised about my initial eagerness at her unlimited seks plan.

  When she originally offered it I though it was sex with her, but it turned out to be an unlimited seks with whoever wanted to do it with me.

  Let me tell you I was shocked, shocked I say, when Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, T Mobile, Frontier, & Rogers all came over for unlimited seks and totally screwed everyone over.

  Re: Here is a scary thought

  David, It depends on ones definition of "Mass Shooting" That most often cited in national news appears to recently be "A shooting with four or victims other than the perpetrator(s)." Unfortunately that would indicate that many of these "Mass Shootings" are Domestic violence, like family assassination/suicide, plus "gang violence", & victims of gunfire while the perpetrator(s) are engaged in the pursuit of a different criminal act. It appears you are thinking of the Mass Shooting where the attacks are the ones that generally get covered in detail in the media, where in general the Perp has little to no intimate connection to the victims, or school & workplace shootings which are still rather rare. here is an example of a source document with analysis. https://www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/analysis/essays/mass-shootings.html from www.rand.org
  "Summary: There is no standard definition of what constitutes a mass shooting. Media outlets, academic researchers, and law enforcement agencies frequently use different definitions when discussing mass shootings, leading to different assessments of how frequently mass shootings occur and whether they are more common now than they were a decade or two ago."

  Re: Re:

  Just so everyone knows, I’m glad to get people fired up. And I’m very aware of how bad laws are most used for bad reasons, in bad ways, while existing less bad laws could be used in less bad ways. That was My point. FFS. I once refused to sign up for parking at my employers new bldg via the recommended web address, because the credentials we were given would violate the TOS on the 3rd party parking vendors website, a possible CFAA violation. So I did it via snail mail.

  Re: Re: How very Presidential of you.

  While there are many categories of crimes that are different when Attempted vs Completed Extortion is not one of them. We were not talking about Murder vs Attempted Murder, or Breaking & Entering vs Burglary. Obstruction of Justice & Extortion, Just like the various Conspiracy crimes are THE SAME CRIME weather successful or not. Hence the “very Presidential” subject line.

  How very Presidential of you.

  James, Attempted crime is still crime, just because an apparent victim has foiled the extortion plot, does not make it less of a crime. AricTheRed
