Computer Hackers Steal Thousands From Steuben ARC

,----[ Quote ]
| Authorities say the crooks were from Eastern Europe and 
| used that information to steal the money. Since then, 
| the Steuben ARC has limited their employee's internet 
| access. They've also switched from a Microsoft operating 
| system to Linux, which is said to be tougher to hack.

Bank of America Sued for 1,784 Sextillion Dollars

,----[ Quote ]
| Assuming that the second comma is a typo, and that Chiscolm
| actually demanded 1,784 billion trillion dollars, to my
| knowledge that is at least a new record for stupidly large
| lawsuit demands.  In 2008, someone sued the federal government
| for more than three quadrillion dollars, but a quadrillion is
| only a thousand trillion.  These days, maybe that just doesn't
| seem like a lot of money to people.
