Facebook. Call yourself a 'hacker', watch your ex-boss seize your PC without warning. A US district court has ruled that self-confessed "hackers" have all the skills needed to swiftly destroy evidence, allowing anyone suing them to seize their equipment without warning.
The court in Idaho decided that a software developer’s computer could be confiscated without prior notice primarily because his website stated: “We like hacking things and don’t want to stop.” Exclusive: Who Killed Michael Hastings? Early in the morning on June 18, a brand new Mercedes C250 coupe was driving through the Melrose intersection on Highland Avenue in Hollywood when suddenly, out of nowhere, it sped up.
According to an eye-witness, the car accelerated rapidly, bounced several times then fishtailed out of control before it slammed into a palm tree and burst into flames, ejecting its engine some 200 feet away. A witness, Jose Rubalcalva, whose house stood adjacent to the crash, told Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks news network that no one could approach the burning car because it kept exploding. In a simulated full-frontal crash of a 2013 C250 coupe, the car doesn’t explode on impact nor does it launch its engine 200 feet.
In fact, said Nael Issa, a Mercedes Benz dealer in Long Beach, “The car has a crumble zone, so when it crashes it goes in like an accordion. And in some cases the engine drops down, so it doesn’t go into you.” Threats, Fears and Lies Hastings later wrote, “I wasn’t disturbed by the claim. Sir John Major calls for excess profits tax on 'big six' energy companies. Sir John Major said a tax on energy companies' excess profits could be used to help the poor as they struggle with energy bills this winter Photograph: Paul Grover / Rex Features Sir John Major, the former Conservative prime minister, has said there is a case for an excess profits tax on the big six energy companies.
He said the money could be used to help the poor as they struggle with massive energy bills this winter. He claimed many people this winter will face a choice between eating or staying warm. His remarks at a press gallery lunch in Westminster will be a severe political shock to Downing Street, which has insisted there is nothing the government can do to combat rising energy prices except urge consumers to shop around for cheaper tariffs or foster greater competition in the market. The former Tory leader described recent hikes in electricity and gas bills of approximately 10% as "unacceptable".

Survivors said they were rescued off the Maltese coast after their boat was shot and sunk by Libya traffickers after an argument about payment earlier this month. They were left stranded about 160km from the coast. Speaking from Valletta, Al Jazeera's Karl Stagno-Navarra said that the pictures were released by the Maltese navy as they approached the almost 400 people who were on board a rickety fishing boat, which left the coast of Libya on October 10. He said "they were left stranded at sea, and there were many that couldn’t swim. Amongst them were women and children, a number of whom perished at sea.
" The navy estimates that about 200 people never made it to safety. Facebook. Facebook. Russia drops Greenpeace piracy charges - Europe. Russia has replaced piracy charges against 30 Greenpeace activists with hooliganism charges, federal investigators said.
Arctic oil drilling protesters now face seven year punishment instead of a maximum jail sentence of 15 years for piracy. The Investigative Committee's statement follows a comment by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who said last month that he doesn't think that the Greenpeace activists were pirates. Greenpeace replied to the court's decision on Wednesday, saying the lesser charge of hooliganism was still "wildly disproportionate". "We will contest the trumped up charge of hooliganism as strongly as we contested the piracy allegations," Vladimir Chuprov of Greenpeace Russia said in a statement. "They are both fantasy charges that bear no relation to reality. " Live. Live. Live - In the Guardian today: "Loneliness is an. Live - With #Pleb-gate in the UK pointing out the.

This graph shows wholesale energy costs are not the reason our bills have been going up. (not satire) Here’s a graph which clearly shows that since 2008 wholesale energy costs have actually gone down while typical household bills have gone up by as much as 80%: fullfact.org So it’s wrong to say our electricity and gas bills keep going up because of rising wholesale costs.

Germany summons U.S. ambassador over spying claims. BERLIN — The European Union is considering taking action against the U.S. for cyber spying on its leaders, including suspending two-way trade talks designed to create a market that represents half the world economy.
France's President Francois Hollande has been pressing fellow heads of state to make the spying issue part of the agenda of a summit of EU leaders in Brussels on Friday. French EU Commissioner Michel Barnier told the BBC on Thursday: "Enough is enough. " "We can't simply return to business as usual," German Defense Minister Thomas de Maizière said.
In related developments, a classified document provided to The Guardian by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden indicated that the NSA monitored the telephone conversations of 35 world leaders, the news organization reported. The documents also revealed that the NSA encouraged representatives from major parts of the U.S. government such as the White House or State Department to hand over contacts. The Dirty Dozen of Cyberspace - Snowden Effect Spells Trouble for UK Government. The UK government is open to recruiting convicted hackers into its cyber reserve force but they could struggle to convince these people to join.
Philip Hammond, UK Defence secretary (left) like Lee Marvin in The Dirty Dozen is looking to recruit convicted criminals. (Reuters) I doubt that defence secretary Philip Hammond is regularly compared to Lee Marvin. But, by confirming he is willing to consider convicted hackers joining his newly-announced cyber security force, Hammond opened himself up to obvious comparisons to one of Lee Marvin's most iconic characters - the irascible Major John Reisman from the 1967 film The Dirty Dozen.
Facebook. Facebook. Iraq security forces killed in suicide blasts - Middle East. Gunmen and suicide bombers using explosives-packed vehicles launched a wave of coordinated attacks in Iraq’s Anbar province overnight, killing around 25 members of the security forces and three civilians, officials and medics said.
A suicide bomber detonated a tanker truck packed with explosives at a federal police checkpoint east of the town, while fighters armed with heavy weapons struck the police station in Rutba itself and another bomber detonated a vehicle at a police checkpoint to its west. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the suicide and gun attacks, but Sunni Muslim fighters, including al-Qaeda, have regularly targeted security personnel and others working for the Shia-led government. The attacks between 10:00pm and midnight on Tuesday in the west Iraq province also wounded another 26 police, they said. Four of the attacks struck targets in or near the town of Rutba, about 110km from the border with war-racked Syria. Increasing violence.
