        Not for nothing, but now is the time to announce your breaches. No one could possibly have a worse breach than Equifax.

        So just come out with the dirty laundry and air it out.

        Major Corporation: "Hold my beer."

        Right... let's find out Wal-Mart has been collecting SS#'s credit card details, birth dates and family lineage, storing it all in plain text on a excel document on a public facing web server. . . .

                        The current count puts the current shooting at more than double the number dead of the next worst mass shooting in the US by an individual.

                            Frankly from a single shooter, this seems more reasonable. But damn!

                            OK I've read the article now - holy cow. A room full of weapons in a sniper like position. No wonder it was so bad.

                                    Yes, the police would need to coordinate with internal security, get through long, difficult lobbies, find the right elevators, get to the right floor, get access to the room, etc.

                                        Apparently that initial report was wrong. Now they're stating that Tom Petty is clinging to life.

                                          Amazing that everyone I have mentioned this to today who claims not to know Tom Petty, knows at least 4 or 5 of his songs I play them...
