Let me check something here... just a second... yup, thought so, I don't really care if I get to rent a movie 2 weeks after it leaves the cinema or I have to wait 6 or 8 weeks.
In neither case am I going to feel any more or less compelled to buy the movie instead.
Whatever it is Bush was actually trying to accomplish with that meteor, it makes sense that it ended up in some fucking field in Latvia and left a bunch of people scratching their heads trying to understand the logic.
Not quite. Fox News actually reported there was no proof the crater actually exists, and it was all part of a global-warming conspiracy intended to enslave everyone under a socialist plot and steal our freedoms.
But you have to give full points for the sheer industriousness of the joke. Digging a pit 10m+ across is not an easy task. Back in my drunken-pranking days, I guarantee that me and my buddies would have said "fuck this idea, let's go find something easier to do" when that crater was maybe a couple meters across at best.
Parent was not trying to be modded funny. I am genuinely trying to understand what the previous proprietary CMS was: Vignette? FileNet? Documentum? Stellent?
1. Pretty much anyone who doesn't want to lug their work laptop around with them to the restaurant, etc. at the end of a long, shitty day on the client site. Most of my colleagues are just itching to be free of the laptop and tie at the end of the day.
2. I typically hang the "do not trojan" sign on the doorknob instead, as this offers a much higher degree of protection.
3. Our corporate laptop image is not available as a LiveCD, and unless you're running the corporate image you don't have access many of the tools you need in order to do your job.
one client I worked for that had a no thumb drives allowed policy
I've dealt with clients like this too - no thumb drives, no phones with cameras - and in most cases these clients left gigantic vulnerabilities in other areas that made the threat of a few crappy cellphone pictures laughable.
For almost all such systems, you have to manually select password protected screen locking... Even more fun is available when careless laptop users run VPN sessions with such clients left unlocked
Our corporate laptop Windows images have timed pw-protected screen locking enabled by default, and it can't be disabled (well, with sufficient determination I suppose it could). Furthermore, the VPN tunnel is automatically disconnected when the screensaver kicks in.
It's actually a bit of a pain in the ass, but I can understand why it's configured this way.
Bob the middle manager isn't that important, but Bob routinely sends email to Dave the director and Charles the CxO. By trojaning Bob's computer you can start to build a pretty decent profile of the corporate activities going on within, and above, Bob's department... including travel schedules of some other bigger fish in the corporate pond.
Do this to 3 or 4 Bobs, and pretty soon you'll have an understanding of the corporate org chart, upcoming projects, and most importantly you'll be able to target your future EvilMaid attacks with pinpoint accuracy.
... for some definitions of "improved quality of life"
I've had the good fortune to be able to travel to some rather far-flung corners of the globe, and I honestly think some of the happiest people I met were some of the most "deprived" in the material sense of the western world. They had less stuff in their houses, but they also had less ridiculous bullshit rattling around inside their heads.

didn't you see it?
I figured I'd just wait for the facebook reviews to come out.
That would fit.

Does this mean we have to endure another round of shitty movies in 2217?
Actual robots with flashing lights have a way better chance at going viral on YouTube.
If history has taught us anything, it's that if you wait long enough, eventually the Germans will come to you.

I'm just an ordinary guy who thinks Fox News is a cancer on humanity, and the enemy of rational, intellectual thought.
Not quite. Fox News actually reported there was no proof the crater actually exists, and it was all part of a global-warming conspiracy intended to enslave everyone under a socialist plot and steal our freedoms.

Is that what we're calling RushBots these days?

As stated in the article, this wasn't done to earn your praise.
Yeah, but what was the proprietary CMS that was running on Apache/Linux?
In other words, what did they switch from.

This story is either completely made up, or you've also been on business trips to Manila.

Maids are not pretty.
I have definitely seen evidence to refute that assertion.
