DHS Injects Itself With DDoS
An anonymous reader writes "Here's a story about what can happen to any enterprise IT department that overestimates the intelligence of its users. Only in this case, the enterprise in question is the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The spokesman says there's no Jack Bauer mentality. No kidding!"
OK, guys, stop posting, or thousands of people are going to cumulatively spend hours reading your post and wasting their time! STOP WRITING POSTS EVERYONE!
Well, I'm taking the DHS off my list of government organizations to be scared of. Considering recent news regarding the DoD, It's pretty much down to the CIA and the NSA, and I have my doubts about their competence.
My tinfoil hat may be unnecessary after all.
"The cup is in turn designed for holding hot or cold liquids, and has an open rim and closed base." --US Patent #5425497
I yearn for the simpler days, when DOS came on floppy disks, rather than medical instruments.
... and then they built the supercollider.
plz UNSUBSCRIBE me from this website.
Sounds more like they could use a Chloe mentality. She, at least, never overestimates the intelligence of other users.

Looks like 16 months to me. Of course, I graduated before No Child Left Behind.
Well now that I have everyone's address I might as well send this out... has anyone seen my pencil sharpener?
Or the other favorite, the single moron who doesn't know how to unsubscribe and sends "unsubscribe" to the list, followed by others who do the same, followed by people sending instructions to unsubscribe, followed by more "unsubscribe" messages by those who can't follow instructions.
Godwin's Law is a more efficient way :)
Ok, I invoke it now.
Drop the personality disorder and patch me through.

I liked Chloe so much that I have a Cygwin alias for ssh into my VPS. It is, of course, damnitchloe. Really its more like damTAB but I get a chuckle every time I see it.
I can also watch Season 7 of 24 in a command line, due to an extremely efficient homebrew compression scheme. Observe:
ruby -e "(24 * 6).times do puts 'Damn it'; end"
Help poke pirates in the eyepatch, arr.
Only a Nazi would deliberately try to invoke Godwin's Law!

I have no information on the whereabouts of your pencil sharpener. However, I believe you have my stapler. It's a red swingline, I kept it because it doesn't bind up as much as the new ones.
-1 disagree is not a modifier for a reason. -1 troll, flaimbait, redundant, overrated are NOT acceptable substitutes.
Stop!
Grammar time.
If it's for-profit but free, you're not the customer -- you're the product (e.g., the Slashdot Beta's "audience").
lol, happened at college all the time
What college did you go to? Because it seems that some of those "idiots" now work for the State Dept. of Education! Seriously, in my line of work, I get notices from SDE (State Dept. of Educ.) and in nearly every case, ALL THE RECIPIENTS ARE ON THE TO LINE.
I've been SO TEMPTED to reply all with the message: "Do you realize that the State Department of Education has provided me with your Email address, and if the computer of any of these kazillion recipients is infected with a virus, you'll soon be inundated with lots of SPAM regarding the size of your genitalia, don't you? So, next time you get a p3niz p1llz email, don't blame me!" except that since most of the recipients of the email are my clients or potential clients, I would never, ever, ever, do that.
Maybe I could get away some with inane comment about the message, maybe a point of clarification? Dunno. When your income/job/career is on the line, you'll (not) do amazing things to keep everything on course...
But it's fun to think about...
I have no problem with your religion until you decide it's reason to deprive others of the truth.
My husband was once asked to design the website for a home electronics reseller:
electronicsexchange.com
Sadly, it appears to now be squatter-meat.

Cowboy Neal talked about professionalism and said if kdawson was a professional he would've pulled it off no matter what.
Speaking of professionalism, when is it professional to publically bash someone who is going through a hard time.
Leave /. Alone Please.... Leave /. alone...right now....I mean it.
Anyone that has a problem with /. you deal with me, beacuse /. is not well right now.
