T/S: Defamer v. Gawker

For that personal touch, yes.

Man, that reminds me of some guy we interviewed for a job at work who sent a handwritten thank you card to each person who interviewed him. He seemed like a nice dude, but was way desperate and had no ability to answer technical questions in an interview. I left that damn card unopened on my desk for two weeks because I didn't need a guilt complex.

^^^are you UK or US? this is apparently more of a thing in the US but it bO_Oggled my mind when they were discussing it in the dole thread

I got what I thought was a spam email abt this. What do I need to do?

Is it the reason my laptop was afflicted w/ System Tool virus for 4 hours Saturday?

metsfan

filmbuff

pa$$word

I usually use the same unguessable password whenever I can

pw: unguessable

On November 11, Dr. Morbius received a notice that he had set up a new username and password at Gawker chat rooms. Because he knew he did not request this, and also had been told by someone else that he had been logged into Campfire (but also knew he had not), he asked members of his team to investigate. He did not however bother to change any of his other accounts that used the same password as his Campfire account.

Can I do the old "I tried using 'penis' as my password but it told me it was too short" gag now, please?

not really trying to zing morbz. I work for a website and can peer in at user pw's. I'm just amazed at how little thought goes into them. hogsfan, gohogs, f00tball, thurman94.

And that's not just the pa$$words, birthdays and us3rnames typed with numbers. If I ever get drunk with power, I could probably have a field day reading email at AOL.com.

the ultimate power trip

that forbes blog post is interesting but is weirdly written, like it's been google-translated or somethign

Maybe written by a Polish hacker trying to throw everyone off the scent.

well, this is a separate issue from the gawker hack -- max's girlfriend was getting too jealous

did she say anything?!?

move the entire network of blogs to tumblr imo

i'm gonna keep a running tally of sites that have closed my accounts due to suspicious activity

- gmail
- linkedin (lol you guys can take this one)

wait, they closed your gmail account?

yeah -- when i woke up this morning my droid had an error message (OS is linked w/ google) so i knew something was up, went to gmail & had to enter my phone number, they texted me a code, i entered that code into gmail & they allowed me to change my password

so i'm back in now

oh ok

Oh shit, I registered a Gawker account at some point? Fuck me.

i received an email from gawker 9 mins ago

Yeah, my email was from 20 minutes ago.

But I mean: I don't even know when I posted on Gawker, so I have no idea what my password even was.

maybe idolator?

that's where my account originally came from

Ohhhhhhh...

i received an email from gawker asking if i had heard from max and whether he was ok
