Angry turds?

Everyone normally has bacteria (mainly friendly flora) on their hands, so were the 16% tested without working in the bleach factory at the time?

Hope they're going to re-imburse you pro-rata for any time spent removing the copies of this data from your mail server backups etc. This expense is forced upon El Reg to comply with the law, so they should be forced to pay!

Seems like my German colleague was right, SAP = Smile And Pay

Method in the madness

Found this working on a USB key I found in a taxi, labelled TOP SECRET MEGA UBER DATABASE DEV TEST SYSTEM

Luckily there's only test data in the tables so no real security breach to report

use orwellian_live_devsys -- ha ha this is so easy to do its money for old rope

select terrorist.name, terrorist.address, terrorist.location, * -- we can charge these mugs £28Bn for it and £20Bn PA maintenance

where terrorist.name is not in ('jackie smith',gordon brown','osama bin laden') -- gotta keep the bosses onside but you can remove the first 2 items when item 3 says so

order by skin_colour, religion, ethnicity desc -- this is current standard do not alter EVER

@ Michael Jennings

Ha, my ISP is VM but my old ISP still delivers my mails - for free, 4 years on!

Makes you wonder why some ISP's are so lax at deleting lapsed mail accounts - what's in it for them?

@ Dave Hall

I intuitively guess that most readers here rely on 3rd parties to provide some layer of security every day (insert names of OS vendor & web browser here)

Do any privacy policies explicitly guarantee complete protection against hackers?

It's doubtful any firm would make such a bold claim, security can be compromised in many ways, some methods even circumventing what's in your direct control

Whatever works now can never be guaranteed future proof. Just look at the *KNOWN* lists of many high profile companies, .gov sites, ISP's, banking, IM & e-mail systems that have been caught with their pants down in some way or another

There's no hope, be afraid of the future, back to pen & paper everybody! Ahem, were *my* pants down when I started?

<blushingly pulls 'em up and wonders if a pants down icon is suitable for the reg>
