At one college I attended, the lab was a half-story lower than other parts of the building and there were windows from the main lobby looking down into it.
So visitors could watch us hacking away on the state-of-the-art VT100s. ![Badger | [badger,badger,badger,badger...]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/badger.gif)

VT100s? You were spoiled! We only had pathetic VT52s - and we had to write text packed into integers in FORTRAN IV!

Security consultant Mark Burnett has just published 10 million passwords along with their corresponding usernames. It's a thoughtful offering to other researchers—but a legally risky move given the current legal situation surrounding hacking. "Defend me from my friends; I can defend myself from my enemies."

Good morning Mark Burnett.. how's your morning so far? 
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

How much does Microsoft want you to sign up for Bing Rewards? About 100 gigabytes' worth. The price is right anyway (sorry, seems to be US-only)

Tried it, got it, yeah!
...now what do I do with it?

Gee - surprise me!
I can't wait for large multi-multi-billion dollar companies to suddenly realise there's a Rest Of The World Full Of Credit Cards and start investing in a decent overseas law firm who can sort out the Terms of Use so we stop seeing this stupid "US only". It drives me nuts (especially since we're on the end of it so many times)

If only they knew of some lawyers who had to deal with cross-border issues. You know, around the legality of software and licensing and stuff.
Wonder where they could find such creatures though.

No idea. It's a mystery.
To be fair, though, it could be they have restricted it to the US could be because it may be a marketing effort, and marketing budgets are geographically local.
Now if only they could coordinate marketing budgets between the various local offices and open it up to more.
Whatever the reason, it's probably time they stopped being so parochial.

It's tied to Bing Rewards, a US only boondoggle that will give you reward points for using a second rate search engine.
Expanding the fiasco globally would require suckering merchants around the world to sign up for a program where MS would promise to buy gift cards from them if people do something that no one would do normally. 
My theory is that they couldn't find any retailers stupid enough to think it was worth their time to sign up overseas. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

These are the contents of a mysterious white bag found hidden in Neil Armstrong's closet: Weird looking lamps, wrenches, utility brackets, sights, and a film camera that later was identified as the one that captured the famous Apollo 11's descent on the Moon's surface. What? You never took anything home from the office?
