They don't. The person who said this is pushing an agenda trying to scare people away from Windows so his company can make more money.

That's a tried-and-true technique for getting into a person's voicemail mailbox, if you don't have a password set. For years, until carriers started forcing people to set passwords, this is how a lot of phone messages were ob

With 20,000 employees who potentially had access, there's no way of knowing if any password was abused. They should message their users to change their password, especially if they use it on other sites, just to be sure. And because ma

A little trick that will work for "geeks" but won't scale is: - My personal phone number is in a remote area code, of a sparsely populated state, from where I don't know anybody. - Any phone calls that come from this are

I'm glad young people at least think about not staying silent to racism. However, do not forget, these students were yelling at a man for a letter his wife wrote. That is not defensible. It's also sexist--as if the man is the one
