They are falling like dominoes. More questions for Fox News to answer. Federal probe of Fox News focuses on potential disguising of harassment payout. Investigators in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York have focused on a payment to Laurie Luhn, a former Fox booker and event planner who left the company in 2011 with the seven-figure severance package. Luhn later claimed that she had engaged in a consensual but a mentally abusive, relationship with Ailes and that several of his lieutenants facilitated the assignations and were aware of his alleged mistreatment of her. |

Too risky, do you want that much material sitting atop a rocket when it explodes? It's already (purported to be) in special containers that can withstand being dropped from a plane, plus the Russian space venture is really good these days, almost no exploding rockets anymore. (American so so ;-)) We probably have some uninhabited island someplace that we can use as a launch platform, in the off-chance that it goes wrong. But I suspect it's just considered 'too expensive'. |

U.S. to Ban Laptops in All Cabins of Flights From Europe, Officials Say Acting on fears that terrorists can build bombs into laptops, Homeland Security has decided to expand the ban it imposed on Middle Eastern flights. Computers will now be checked as baggage. Because they cannot explode when they're in the baggage compartment? The Russian plane coming down over Egypt in October last year was blown up with a soda can in the baggage compartment, what do you think a laptop will do? |

Batten down the hatches, Ransomware infections reported worldwide. A massive ransomware campaign appears to have infected a number of organisations around the world. Computers in thousands of locations have apparently been locked by a program that demands $300 (£230) in Bitcoin. There have been reports of infections in as many as 74 countries, including the UK, US, China, Russia, Spain, Italy and Taiwan. Update your Windows people. Get at least MS17-010. |

On that ransomware, thought I'd look at https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/client_types.php and see what people are using, but it hasn't been updated in years! So no idea what people are running today. I'm wondering if the areas with large numbers of machines infected are areas where piracy of O/S is rampant? I know large organizations tend to delay updates to be sure mission critical stuff isn't broken by the update, so that's how they got caught with their pants down. But a place where lots of small users who should be patching but perhaps can't because the O/S isn't a legal copy? |

The next best thing to finding a leprechaun's pot of gold is finding a nugget like this: - "Dr Lloyd feels "powerless" and frustrated at having to choose "usually between a number of highly incompetent morons"" :-) Don't knows don't really care |
