Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | I assume this comment is a reference to my failure to provide a link to the sources. I recently underwent a medical ordeal in which I lost about 100 pounds, some of which must have been brain cells. I can't remember how to operate my dell inspiron laptop. Cant store files or find previously stored files and most certainly can't do any cut and paste of URLs. I found the Rector's comments about a short circuit and a misidentified location on Slashdot but couldn't highlight the URL and Control-C wouldn't work. I now write down if I've eaten breakfast and once walked all the way to the dumpster before I realized I had failed to bring the garbage bag with me, so all I can tell you is "somewhere on slashdot" you will find the rector's comments and somewhere on my computers opening page you will find a reference to Sri Lanka bombing, but i'm not sure were that is. |

My comment was not a reference to your failure to provide a link My comment was a sarcastic comment about the French officials immediately claiming that there was nothing nefarious involved with the Notre Dame fire |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | One of the richest men in Sri Lanka was arrested for complicity in the recent bombings. Two sons were suicide bombers and a female relative killed herself and three officers as police raided the multi-millionaire's home. How do you protect yourself against wealthy and well educated bombers? They are familiar with expensive restaurants and don't look out of place in expensive hotels. |

Stay at a Holiday Inn Express, eat at Waffle House. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | one bomber whose vest killed two people had previously attempted to detonate it in a very much more crowded location. |

Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | Hacking and Network Intrusion and Data Breaches: COSTLY !!!! Whatever they are being called they are getting very expensive since Slashdot reports that insurance companies are now claiming that Cyber Warfare is a type of warfare that falls within an insurance policy's usual exclusion for 'riot, civil commotion or acts of war'. |
