A massive and sustained Internet attack that has caused outages and network congestion today for a large number of Web sites was launched with the help of hacked “Internet of Things” (IoT) devices, such as CCTV video cameras and digital video recorders, new data suggests.

Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told CNBC on Friday that he tried to buy Facebook when it was "itsy-bitsy" for $24 billion. Too bad. They could have mismanaged it to an early grave

I whish they had succeed... that way we would have less problems with facebook nowadays, as it would probably go through the toilette

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I was wondering why they would want it at first, then rememberd that they also own Direct tv too.
There goes the entertainment industry too.

Unicode said that if the emoji was approved, it would include a range of skin tones, a feature introduced last year after much campaigning. As much problems as Unicode may have solved, I'm going back to limiting textboxes to pure ASCII.

I always found the number of cat emoji unsatisfying. The cat is usually yellow, but I'm missing black, whites, grey's, calico... Not to mention the race of that cat. I'm guessing it's a European short hair, but what about persian, siamese, long haired, etc. etc.
I say stop this oppressing cat emoji regime! #animalrights #catsarepeopletoo

Well that'll help keep them away from the pesky business of actually adding support for additional languages in unicode[^].
As a side note, I'll add that you know something's really turned into a dumpster fire when it's so bad that Buzzfeed is producing long form journalism instead of click bait full of nothing but dank memes.
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?

The problem being that Unicode is largely descriptive, while the emoji part is proscriptive--they are trying to invent a new language and using Unicode to do it.

The government is preparing to charge the suspect under the Espionage Act. No one noticed him walking out with a suitcase full of DVDs?
Or maybe a semi full of floppies?

At 5 GB per DVD, that works out to 10,000 DVDs. His spying activities allegedly took place over 20 years, or 1,000 weeks.
The guy stole 10 DVDs worth of data every week for 20 years, and no one noticed?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

A single pendrive can keep up to 128 GB and it's easily concealable in a shoe heel. So up to 256 GB of information can be carried out in a single day for two concealed pendrives, in 200 days of regular tranfers you get 50 TB.
Of course we do not know whne he started stealing data because if he started from the very beginning of his job of course the means of transfer stored less data, but IoMega Zip Drives were particularly big at that times and fairly commonplace.

Most highly-secure places (commercial companies included) don't even allow you to bring in any portable storage, smartphones, etc. If the NSA allows this, it is a major hole in their security!
What were they thinking of?

Exactly. My brother works in a top secret facility (Air Force) and he can't bring into the facility any device, of any kind, that can store even one bit of information, other than his brain.
He also passes through (entry and exit) 3 security check points.
So, NSA must have some lax areas of security then.

Maybe he bring some 50 TB back and everything is fine.
Press F1 for help or google it.

Maybe it was just all the porn found on the devices they were spying.

According to Hillary, it was the Russians. Anything released is suspect.
