I never mentioned large black holes and I was using the quote to demonstrate that we still do not know what is going on really yet.
Anyway, this seems recent enough ( April 30, 2014): "Black hole atoms now join a long list of candidates for dark matter particles, from supersymmetric neutralinos, WIMPs and axions to warm sterile neutrinos and many more, Dokuchaev told Space.com. Verifying whether any of them is the real deal will require catching one first, he added."
Do you need anti-matter for "annihilating the Milky Way's halo"?
Dark matter could be made of black holes:
"There have been many candidates for this theorized "dark" matter, and in truth it is probably some combination of them: hot or cold gas, neutron stars, white or brown dwarfs, exotic particles and, yes, even black holes!"
Some stupid student had pictures of himself naked with his gay friend in his University home folder!;-)
Some normal student with a sexlife had private pictures in his private University home directory.
There is a difference between common sense and privacy. University conditions specifically forbid private use anyways. It has to be for University related activities, like conducting research on security vulnerabilities for instance;-))
although I was tempted to post the gay guys pictures somewhere public.
Why would you do that? What exactly tempted you?
Puberty, stereotypes, society ??? Important thing is I didn't.
This isn't practical when you don't have a dedicated phone line for it and even then many ISPs had systems set up to not allow you to keep connections on constantly like that.
Also, I remember signing up with a big telco where I live that advertised unlimited access. I phoned them and told them up front that I was going to be on 24/24 and they said; no problems, so I signed.
I quickly discovered that they would hang up after 6 hours. We had to dial-in again and they seemed to purposely change the IP address everytime, anyway, I never got the same IP twice in a row.
God what fun I had using dyndns short DNS records TTL and all kinds of "adjustments" to have something relatively stable. User knew the network would go down for 10 minutes everyday during a business day and they got used it.
Thanks, I see what you mean. It is pretty much like typical cable/dsl modems look nowadays.
I don't recall encountering those although I would replicate the functionality by connecting the modem with a serial cable to a linux router. I pretty much always used a linux router from the start. Even nowadays, I always have the "ethernet" cable/dsl whatever modem in pass-trough mode to the Linux router through an RJ45 connector.
I remember setting rules on linux routers for the following use case you described, those were on coaxial ethernet:-) " because once a computer thinks it has an always-on network connection it tends to try making remote connections for all sorts of things unless you lock it down. So the modem was always connected pretty much. This isn't practical when you don't have a dedicated phone line for it and even then many ISPs had systems set up to not allow you to keep connections on constantly like that"
Haha, I have never been so nasty but I fooled around a little I have to admit.
In IT classes, we had like 20-30 work stations running SunOS with X. I would set my display to another student station, DISPLAY=other_student_ip ; export DISPLAY wait until the teacher comes to his station then launch netscape with a porn site target URL. I had good laughs back then. Student would usually try to close the netscape windows while the teacher would give him a suspicious look maybe thinking it was already open and minimized and that the student had just maximized the window by mistake. I could have got caught easily I assume if he left it running and instead investigated where that window was coming but I didn't risk much getting caught.
Also, X allowed you to get the keys typed on any station and steal login credentials then access other student accounts.

Back then the laws weren't very clear about such activities as long as you didn't tamper the data, steal it for your own use, use it to blackmail somebody, try to get money or other advantages from it, etc. so I stayed on the safe side and only looked around although I was tempted to post the gay guys pictures somewhere public. Like today, I must have already been some kind of a white hat since I didn't and didn't mention it to anybody either.
Guys, the ATM is in Winnipeg, Manitoba, 1,440 miles away from Montreal, Quebec. For US citizens, that's about 150 more miles than Miami to New York at 1,290 miles.
Simple solution is to patch it although it might be harder on some devices.
Agreed.
I do welcome these kind of reports, because they will motivate procrastinating managers. I know managers having big 'change resistance', with simple arguments like "Does it affect us?". These kind of report does tell them why it is much better to act now.
Maybe you could have your robot spell it to those procrastinating managers with something like "Danger, procrastinating managers!": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
That's about it. more IT related although, t I started hacking to fix buggy software, network layers and hardware as well as to learn how to secure a system.

Yet, back then, at some stage, almost the whole scientific community was hyped on ThinMan which ended up being trashed. Implosion prevailed.
All I am saying is don't jump to conclusions and follow the scientific community hype too easily.

OK, I have to stop. I am laughing my heart out.

It could, with an ethernet dial-up modem.
Sorry to ask, what the heck is an ethernet dial-up modem??
ISDN? Does ppp over a voice line modem qualifies also? pppoe + dsl ??
I am puzzled...

it is so important that the "good guys" don't break the law to catch the "bad guys". Ever.
Then, you might have to shut down several deep cover operations. Breaking the law by doing mass surveillance is a different topic although.
Hehe, I first read "Microsoft server" and wondered WTF...

I agree, sometimes it is better to hide in plain site than hide where you could be expected to hide.
"5 minutes it takes sending the request"
More likely, they have automated the whole process and it takes them milliseconds to send the request to several parties.
Dear Satya,
I thought you were a girl based on your name. So I went to the interwebs to find a picture of yourself to see if you were cute.
Oh well, maybe I will have better luck next time.

No problems. You can only be accused of ignorance since Winnipeg is a little far from Quebec.
