I killed my Yahoo account in late 2004 when I switched to Gmail. Turns out it was a very wise choice... so far.

Not only that, but once again, the details were stolen three elephanting years ago, and they didn't even notice until an unnamed law-enforcement agency gave them a copy of the data which was stolen!
How appallingly bad do your systems have to be to let someone steal that much data, and you don't even notice it? Are their systems exclusively written by the dregs of QA?

I have a yahoo email that I use for my newsletters and junk email, as well as a gmail for the same stuff. The thing is, that I don't have any sensitive information in my emails, even in my main email; so I don't consider it a big deal. The last 4 digits in a credit card number isn't going to help anyone. I'm not worried.

It is not really about worrying.
"My front door lock doesn't work but there's nothing worth stealing in my house"
That just leaves me with a very unpleasant feeling.

Agreed. If someone breaks into my email, they'll find nothing but garbage.

I can't bring myself to care too much knowing that my throw-away spam account might have been breached.
That's all we're using Yahoo for, right?

"Head of Maths joins a Swan and Horse between two points, this sounds like a tale an aviator might be interested in?" (9)
I think this one's quite difficult, so might take Griff 5 minutes instead of his usual 2?

Not really getting too far with this:
Head of Maths = M
A swan - cob/pen
Horse - nag, gg ... or possibly "swan and horse" just = COB leading to comb when the M is insterted
Two points - any of NESW - comes close to BUNCOMBE with a an unexplained "BU" but it clearly isn't that.
The rest? Dunno.
Any chance of an additional hint?

You are soooo close! Your first three bits are spot on - m - pen - nag.
Clue - there's more than one way of spelling tale only one of which an aviator might be interested in, and two points may both be the same.
This is quite an obscure word though, so you're doing very well.

Empennage.
That was far from easy!

Well done PeeJay, I thought that would be a toughie, but you got it!
You're up tomorrow .
And for final clarity - the empennage is the tail section of an aircraft.

Movie Quote Of The Day
Quote: It's not a prime number. See, prime numbers can only be divided by one or itself. THREE is a prime number. The Holy Trinity? The thesis and antithesis that come together to form the synthesis...
Which movie?

Is that from one of the Cube/Hyper Cube movies?

I think I have posted this before.
My new job requires me to not to be limited to MS technologies and hence I am learning other things. Looking at the state of other technologies, I really appreciate what MS has done with .Net framework.
Often, in the workshops with technologically diverse audience, my response to "how do you do X?" is Visual Studio or framework provides this by default. I have always liked .Net framework even though I had little to no exposure to Java World and others. But now that I have to really deal with it, I see how awesome .Net framework is.
Once again, thank you Microsoft.
PS: Yes, I know pains of working with some MS offerings.

Let me see if I have correctly translated this:
I just discovered that I don't how to program because the .NET framework does everything for me.
Did I get that right?
