Spain’s unused, billion-euro Don Quixote airport is about to be sold to a Chinese investor for just $11,000

 

I saw a special lately about Spain and entire cities filled with brand new flats and shopping malls, etc that are completely empty now.

New vulnerability lets attackers hijack Chrysler vehicles over the web

 

 

Chrysler's UConnect system uses Sprint's cellular network for connectivity, so researchers were able to remotely locate cars by scanning for devices using that particular spectrum band. There's no apparent firewall, so once attackers have located the device's IP, they can deploy previously developed exploits to rewrite Uconnect's firmware and control the car as if they had physical access.

Good call. This is no different than using your car to block a firetruck en route to a fire.

  OH, CANADA
Report: 20% of Ottawa has an Ashley Madison account

 

Recently hacked affair hookup site Ashley Madison has 189,810 Ottawans on its books, which is roughly 20% of the city's population and the highest sign-up rate for the site in Canada and possibly the world, according to Reuters.

 

"My God, my phones will be busy," a private investigator told the Ottawa Sun after hackers calling themselves the "Impact Team" threatened to put details of the site's 37 million users online.

 

"Everybody says Ottawa is a sleepy town and here we are with 200,000 people running around on each other," a city employee tells Reuters, although other residents, including a woman who describes "buttoned-down" Ottawa as "the city fun forgot," say they're not surprised by the high Ashley Madison sign-up rate.

College student blames parents after she blows $90G college fund

 

Man, I feel sorry for her.  She has that terminal disease of affluenza and people just make fun of her.  She's the victim here.  Parents should use their retirement account to help her treat this horrible horrible disease.

As you can see, the SR-71 was one of the early examples of a stealth aircraft, featuring a dark black/blue paint that earned it the name "Blackbird." There were only 32 Blackbirds ever built.

 

The Blackbird didn't just look cool; it was FAST. The Blackbird was built to go up to about Mach 3.4 speeds, which is a land speed of about 2,500 mph! Over 4,000 missiles were fired at it during its 25-year service, but none ever hit its mark. The standard evasive maneuver was just to accelerate until the missile couldn't keep up.

So strange to see a fire that close to a pool. Glad that there were not more injuries.

No good guy in that trio. Also further evidence of why people get hurt at baseball games. Nobody can be bothered to watch the damn game.

It's amazing to me that this didn't happen in Florida.
