Not even Ravelry is safe

Texas Comptroller, Sony, Nintendo, Ravelry, even the McDonald Observatory (we subscribe to the Star Date magazine) – we have no privacy. Have to say though, Lulzsec has the cutest mascot. Reminds me of :

Dear Ravelry member,
An attacker recently managed to break in to one of Ravelry’s secondary servers. Once inside, they were able to access user names, encrypted passwords, and possibly email addresses. Your passwords could not be seen and  no financial or other sensitive information was accessed as we do not collect or store this type of data.
Sad :(

I just realized there are only six more binary dates until 2100 –
as in 10/01/11, 10/10/11, 10/11/11, 11/01/11, 11/10/11, and best of all, 11/11/11, the last and greatest binary date since 10/10/10.

You know something special might be happening on ThinkGeek.com on 4/1. (Shhhhhhh.)
You wouldn’t mind if robots overthrew humanity as long as they were fueled by booze–or looked like 6.
You keep a cricket bat by your bed just in case.
You know where your towel is.
You know there are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don’t.
You figure it’s always PEBKAC.
You know his name isn’t “Doctor Who.”
You think science has a special smell. (It’s probably the ozone.)
You know Han shot first.
You refer to your teenage years as “Pon Farr.”
You have at least 3 computers in your house, with more in pieces for weekend projects, and a box full of outdated peripherals just in case.
Your vacation days are spent at cons–or recovering from cons.
You break warranties as a force of habit.
You’ve said “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” to a coworker, and there’s a good chance you got paid for it.
You would like a peanut, thank you for asking.
You’d want something with some slink if you’re gonna wear a dress.
You don’t let anyone touch your red stapler.
You would consider buying a Roomba, Kinect, or 3D television, but only to hack.
You think your dice are trying to kill you.
You have time to read this because your code is compiling.
You’re sad this list isn’t 42 items long.
