Google did not disclose security breach to its Google+ social network because it feared regulation, according to a Wall Street Journal report citing documents and people briefed on the incident. Don't worry - it was only Google+. Not even the hackers use that.

I thought they had shut it down years ago (like about 15 minutes after they released it).

Nope... that was just the noise after falling down the stairs. It just got in coma.

Google needs to shutdown and pay penalty.

A lot of secure sites are set to grind to a halt with security error messages in the next version of Google Chrome, after the browser will drop trust for a major HTTPS certificate provider following a series of security incidents. Not CP, I hope?

As they are all based on an un-observable standard for "day"
How do you determine when a day starts; midnight, really?
In all reality shouldn't it be solar-noon when the sun is either at bearings 0 || 180?
And wouldn't a day be the time that elapses between consecutive noons?
There are only a handful of days every year a "measured day" is within seconds of 24 hours, it can be +/- up to 25 minutes as we wobble around the solar system,

Admin, password and other weak passwords will no longer cut it. Is it OK if I change my password at the border?
|
|
|
|
|
hum.. so they will compare entered password with dictionary and if exists in dictionary then they wont accept that password
sounds good
but how can they ban it on every site on internet? that is not possible
|
|
|
|
|
Simple, they'll just need a government run botnet to do a brute force dictionary attack every site. If they're successful on any attempt then the site owner gets a fine.

C++ lets you do just about anything. If you can convince the compiler that you’ve written legal code, it will compile it. Of course, this means that you can, well, shoot yourself in the foot. Let’s take a look at some of the pitfalls of C++. Part N of a ever-expanding list

Nothing new in this list. Any competent C++ programmer knows to avoid these problems.
