Imagine my shock and dismay. [End tired sarcasm] Still, it's important to keep the pressure to reform on. Regarding the "bosses infect their computers by visiting porn sites" - the experience at my IT shop has been quite different. By far, the largest number of infections are on computers on average, everyday sites, when an ad service serves up a compromised ad. Very worrying is the current spread of CryptoLocker, which infects your computer, then encrypts your files and demands a payoff for the decryption key - typically US$300. Having backups of all your files on non-rewriteable media ( typically DVD or CD ) and off-line copies is a must; even with regular infections, sometimes the infection is bad enough that there is data loss.

He won damages as the court ruled there was no evidence of Nazi elements in the orgy. That he's suing google about the links just brings it all back into the news so I guess it backfired on him but it is worth noting that there was no Nazi theme... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7523034.stm With reference to Max Mosely, I guess the US press has a bit more protection with the freedom of speech amendment, but he successfully sued the UK newspaper “News of the World” (now defunct following the phone hacking scandal) over their use of “Nazi” in the scoop with the pictures of him in the S&M orgy.
