Peace Trove Being Indexed To Accounts On Unhacked Sites
The social media password dumps of Myspace, LinkedIN, and possibly others that were brought to public light by Peace are now being indexed and packaged1 to identify vulnerable accounts on other platforms. The war on the web has been simmering since the web went to shit soon after its birth. The work of Peace is forcing social media and web forum users to muster all of the earnestness at their command and confront the hard reality of their assorted user accounts actually not conveying any identity at all. Many have tried to find an easier softer way than the WoT, but they could not. Him in our time.

Oklahomos Test Literal Due Process Circumvention Device For Electronic Seizures
The Oklahoma State Patrol1 (WOT:nonpeople) is now testing a new device that is sure to set the standard for "law enforcement" officers that wish to quickly steal citizens funds without the hassle of due process. The Electronic Recovery and Access to Data machine, or ERAD for short, allows officers to scan any credit or debit cards of individuals suspected of criminal activity and seize any funds contained on them. Before the cards presented a mystery to officers who had to wonder how much their victim could pull out the an ATM with their debit card. A copy of the work contract with the state shows that they are paying a price of $5000 for the scanners and associated software, an expense which is surely to be quickly recouped within days. Sorry For Your Loss.

Remains Of Hewlett Packard Go All In On Remains Of Syfy Franchise
In a press release today Hewlett Packard Enterprise, a venture cast off from printer ink scam and former technology powerhouse Hewlett Packard1 in 2015, announced it had bought the plotline to "Star Trek Beyond" from producers of the film as a marketing vehicle for an upcoming product launch. Created by Gene Roddenberry (WOT:nonperson) the Star Trek Syfy franchise helped to kickstart Hollywood's shift to an annuitized business model2 which allows for a predictable return on investment by telling audiences "STFU, these stories are connected." The product driving the plot of the film is yet another Unix machine produced by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (TM)(R) running with an odd build of Linux3 instead of HP-UX and a novel form of memory together united in the way the marketing department imagines it will work after 250 years of bug fixes.
