    Ars Technica[^]:

    By providing copy of leak, Intercept likely accelerated ID of contractor.

    And here I always thought those dots meant my printer needed cleaning

      I wonder if she has a brother named Race? Her parents should have given her the middle name Show so her name would be Reality Show Winner.

          At first, when I saw the MSN headline, I thought the leaker was a Reality TV Show Winner :doh:

            That's what happens if you handle original documents and some moron don't protect his/her sources... From the technical aspect I find it interesting, a fingerprint in hardware... From the ethical aspect I find it pity... now the potential future whistleblower will think it twice before doing anything.

            M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

              I can see the next generation of posters that'll be going up in offices that deal with classified material now. The Fed's been joking about how to win several decades of room and board at their expense for the last decade. (Probably longer; but I can't speak to before I worked for a contractor that did that sort of stuff.) This idiot will make it even easier than the ease with which they busted her. "Did you leak it?" "Yes." *Slaps handcuffs on*

              Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
