Re: I would laugh at this if it weren't so sad

> The U.S. has between 15 and 40 million people here illegally. We have no idea who their allegiance is to. Currently we have thousands coming across the border every week. Same story. Some are known gang members. A lot have diseases we haven't seen in this county in decades are coming in with the latest wave.

> Does Snowden truly believe that sifting through my personal data is going to help make this country safe?

Fiendish CryptoLocker ransomware: Whatever you do, don't PAY

Sime

The video here shows Sophos detecting this virus, but I've got a copy of CryptoLocker obtained from a clients site a couple of weeks ago and it's not picking it up here. Nor is AVG/MSE/Symantec. Unless my customer is (un)lucky enough to have been hit by a different strain :-\

Their hardware isn't too bad to be honest.

It's the repulsive, forever breaking CC4 that sucks.

Remember one of their guys telling us they'd had to "redo the database" when programming CC4 as Microsoft's Actvive Directory wasn't up to the task. Oh how we laughed.

Youth jailed for not handing over encryption password

Sime

Still trying to crack password..

I'd love to be the consultant employed to give that a go!

Free income for a year or more.. Then just tell them you couldn't do it and hand the disk back.. "That encryption is just too good!!".. No need to even plug the thing in! :-D
