goddamnedtwisto posted:fair point, it was a bad example, i was just using it for the more general point that it's pretty hard to put into legislation that the daily mail's campaign against the killers of stephen lawrence is cool and good and the daily mail's endless "LOOK AT THIS MINOR CELEBRITY LOOKING A BIT GLUM" pap shots are not. i'm trying and failing to think of a reason why someone's full address being printed in a news story is ever necessary or in any way enhances the story being told. i can understand saying "on sunday, john fuckman, 42, of shitoldshire was found guilty of molesting pheasants in the third degree" but not "on sunday, john fuckman, 42, of 18 bleakfuture street, shitoldshire, was found guilty of molesting pheasants in the third degree, if you'd like to get in touch with him, his phone number is 020 5687 5637 and his email is feasantfukkr1975@aol.com". anything more than the former is just encouraging vigilantism.

The real winner is when they report so well they inspire their readers to do vigilante justice on anybody who seems like a paedo, even a paediatrician.quote:Dr Cloete is the latest victim to have been wrongly identified by anti-paedophile campaigners in the wave of protests which have swept the country following the News of the World's campaign to "name and shame" alleged sex offenders.

There are 5 men who own and control over 80% of the press in the UK, including the tabloids. I don't know how that compares to the American press, but in the context of the UK, it's all poo poo run by lovely old men selling lovely views to help make lovely people. edit: And on the other side of things, Parliament can stick it's nose in things and declare things illegal to print. British journalism is utter poo poo.

it's interesting how the US doesn't have that problem despite the fact that the US has iirc some of the strongest speech protection laws anywhere of course that leads to a whole host of other problems but that's even less ontopic for secthread, so have an article about a patched xss in verizon's sms app thingy

We've just been chasing an SSL certificate order with comodo for one of our clients and we've been told that they've lost all order data prior to May 12th and have told us to re-buy anything we ordered and request a refund for the old orders. They apparently have no record of any orders made between the 3rd and 11th. Humz... data loss on the 12th of May..... I wonder....

They claim it was an "unprecedented database corruption event" but how the hell it sat for so long and why they weren't able to restore within a day of the failure is a mystery to me

To be clear, is that their corporate network or the public one? I can't see the sec gently caress if it's public since they're going to be putting the details on to a little display card anyway.

bobfather posted:Who stays at hotels anymore and doesn't just have a $10 portable wireless AP they plug into the ethernet jack? any hotel that has been recently renovated has probably dropped the ethernet jacks because wireless is easier, cheaper, and "good enough" that being said i have one of those and you can use it to connect to wifi and rebroadcast your own ssid which is cool and good
