I had an issue last year when my Pizza showed delivered for almost 30 minutes and then I called to find it it hadn't even left the store yet. The manager told me the app works on the average time it takes to make and deliver a pizza. It is not a accurate representation of the Pizza's location. I don't bother letting them deliver it anymore, I'll drive up to the store and wait.
From everything I've read, this started before the smart phone craze, some where around 2007-2008. With that being said, they had a very good head start which may still allow them to claim the biggest installation base. Also don't forget all those "cloud" servers...
Windows is like the herpes of the modern computing world. It's not good enough for most enterprise applications and has turned to sucking up consumer's personal information and selling it for a profit.
I practice the art of counter hacking on occasion but do it comfortably behind a slew of different proxies or remote shell accounts that are not registered directly to my employer. That way my employer maintains plausible deniability and cannot be held accountable for anything I do. However, I do have a unspoken agreement with upper management that I am allowed the latitude required to mitigate any and all attacks possible. So if that means knocking off sites with enormous packet floods or even exploiting their weaknesses thru a vulnerability, they will stand by me.
The net is still the wild west and will always be the wild west, regardless of the words written in law books.
2-3 years ago I was having a conversation with my wife about some home upgrades over dinner, this was the very first time we spoke about it and neither one of us were doing research online before hand. That night I loaded up facebook and saw ads for home supply warehouses.
Google wouldn't lose any market share if they kept this, they're big enough to not give a fuck. Even if all of these "offended people" stopped using google, nobody would notice.
I don't think any amount of identity monitoring can make up for this bullshit. Not only did my credit information get leaked, my salary and now my ID. This was bound to happen eventually, we need to really rethink about who gets our information, how long they can keep it, who is authorized to have it and hold them to a universal standard across the board for securing it. At which when a company falls out of compliance, they get 1 warning and after that they are permanently barred from storing this data.
their shitty groove music service, hopefully these will be updated. Microsoft should do one better and offer integration into Google music and Amazon music...
I would love a service like this... except my great danes would eat the driver as he enters the house. I would need to figure out some compensating controls / mitigation to allow driver thru my house and into the kitchen area safely. I already have camera's all over my house and everything important is behind additional locked doors / cabinets. It's just one more than I don't have to worry about... why not?
I didn't hear about this till it showed up in slashdot, then found it in my email. I converted my yearly pre-paid account to monthly after the new year because of the lack of deals. My account renewed on the 15th of this month and in the notification email, it states, I will have an extra 60 days to move my data, but my new subscription expiration date is 9/15/2017.
I will no longer advocate for my employers to use this as a backup solution.
If you didn't use revision control and failed to make backups of your important data, I have no sympathy for you. How do you fail at common sense and be a good developer?
In summary, I started with computers when I was 15 (1995), writing progs for AOL (warez, punters and phishing) then dropped out of high school at 17. Finished my GED at 18 and went directly to work from there. Got my first exposure to linux in 1999 and just stayed with it as my key skill. In 2002, I wasted my time getting comptia certifications (absolutely worthless in my opinion) before contracting at a large web host doing data center engineering work. By 2005, started a full time linux system administrator position for a large travel company. I was capped around 80k yearly until 2013, got my first six figure offer. Starting in 2013, went to every hacking conference I could and competed in CTF's. In 2016, I went to work for a large public company as a senior security analyst without any certifications and now make 150k yearly plus bonuses.
I've always said college was a waste of time for many professions and after working in the IT industry for almost 20 years, I stand by my beliefs.
The CIA should be providing these snacks and beverages for free, no wonder they have talent leaks. Every company I've worked for since 2011 has provided free drinks, snacks and catered meals. Before anybody asks, I'm not working in the valley or any where near it.
I was starting a new gig back in 2012 and one of the conditions of me working there, they gave me a mac and told me I couldn't install Linux on it. After that point in my life, I never looked at a PC system the same. OSX has a simple elegance about it that just can't be replicated. Updates are not forced down my throat, I have all the normal linux tools available and I trust it more than I ever trusted a microsoft system. Yes, the hardware is expensive and it holds it's resale value better than any normal PC while lasting double, triple the time.
Since converting to the cult of the mac, I haven't bought my own apple products. Work gives me a new mbp every few years and I use that for everything. I install my own OS, firewall and security software. I manage my device, not my employer.
Both a pro and a con, macs are able to install / reinstall OSX from the internet. My employer would like to manage my device so to get around it, had to do a offline installation of OSX and remove the hook that calls out to be managed.
IMDB can be doing more to fix this issue but since they are taking the easy out here, fighting fire with fire is the only suitable response.
I believe the best response would be for IMDB to limit what users can rate and how early in the release of the movie it can be rated. When someone attempts to put a rating on a movie that hasn't officially been released and their account is new or with very few reviews (which I assume is the case with most of the fake reviews), you hold their reviews back for moderation and flag as internet troll.
In my personal experience, passwords that are > 24 characters, are easily forgettable if unused for a period of time. I struggle with remembering complicated passwords if I haven't used them in over a month. Not sure if it's because they're to complicated or if it's a neurological limit. I also suffer from ADD and have a history of radiation exposure.
That being said, I completely understand how it's possible for someone to forget a password.
I would hate myself if I made it into that 1% bracket.
Additionally, I am in that age range of 30 - 44, white male, and I pirate ebooks on occasion. It's mostly an activity of convenience combined with my hate for DRM mechanisms. Recently, I grabbed a book on golang, used it for 30 minute and then deleted it. Would of regretted buying the book in any form and it only took me 30 minutes to figure that out.
I get hit up by recruiters all the time, asking if I would like to take a job in the valley making 150k-160k. So I send them the CNN's cost of living calculator and how much I currently make, plus 3% increase for my next position. They never respond after that, every single damn time. The recruiters are hoping to bring in new talent based on sticker shock of how much these jobs are offering but they fail to take into consideration, the higher cost of living. I'd need to make 183k per year for it to be an equal transition from where I currently live.
I rooted and ultimately went to a custom rom because I honestly don't trust the things my phone carrier installs and I wanted the ability to block advertisements. Google has gotten much better with giving users the ability to limiting software permissions but could still do more. Older software automatically get permissions enabled for compatibility when they shouldn't.

Anyone else notice this is one of the VPN's constantly advertised on slashdot? Glad to see slashdot is interested in promoting shady services.

If memory serves me correctly, Intel / Microsoft were hit and lost lawsuits for this exact behavior.

This damn site tells me I'm in the top 2.54%.
I would hate myself if I made it into that 1% bracket.

I'm looking for the torrent as well, will post if i find it.
