   Let's assume the position of a spammer or ~0-day blackhatter... access to the accounts of the most popular website in the world are not of interest? (You could post a URL and have millions of people click it because they trust the post

   Is that a retort or simply an unrelated observation? Edit: My intent was to understand your perspective (and argue...), but this comment goes over my head, and it seems as though it was a thinly veiled insult.

   The info is useful, but not sellable? The two seem deeply intertwined. If I can prove usefulness, I can sell it. Actually, you say the info has "a use"... does that not directly imply worth?

   I thought most blackhat activities already implied the threat of jail-time...

   I would agree, being that I cannot immediately detail how these Facebook accounts might be useful, but any information is useful, especially credentials. (Valuable != "immediate drop-in value")? So, he's saying the accounts

   I think you are vastly underestimating the power of social engineering.

   I have always preferred avoiding digestion when physical exertion is imminent. The harder I work, the less hungry I become. People have mentioned to me that I may have a food allergy, or some other type of disorder that makes digestion a pr

   >Compromised user accounts (not even the server! just users!) on a single website do not constitute a valuable target. That statement is just plain wrong. With over a billion Facebook users, surely some of them are high-value targets.

    Though, Android also uses SELinux. I am not sure I would consider SELinux part of standard Unix permissions.

    Localbitcoins has been around for years. Even in the early days, when I used the less reputable sites, I always got the bitcoins I paid for.

    If I assume men are more emotional, do I deseve the same backlash? Fuck PC culture. (Sorry, I am in a bad mood today. Irony unintended.)

    Yeah, men & women are exactly the same & any conclusion otherwise is sexist/biased/anti-feminist/whatever. /s We (men & women) are different... (not "better or worse"). There is nothing offensive or

    If someone modifies GPL source-code and published the executable, they must publish the additional source-code. Your quoted section only speaks of unmodified machine-code created from GPLed source-code.

    Are you confusing source-code with machine-code? GPL is concerned with source-code.

    You are assuming perspective (his family), and that death was decided. If it was a random death, then yeah... it is odd.

    Are we talking about music that was inspired by or inspiring the happy mood? If it's the latter, I would say it's true since eating is one of the better experiences you can have, especially as a simple animal.

    Your post is non-contributory. You are a troll. but seriously, what is your point? Why are these people "hordes" rather than "a group", and why are they "invaders" rather than "refugees"? I smell prej

    I surely assume too much. Your assumption that I am morally unimpeded because I am poor is wrong though. By assuming too much about me I am glad to see that you understand irony.

    That is illogical. Your comparison implies that the "rich" pirate eventually pays.
