no it isn't. the bullshit is usually obvious, and there are a few popular sites which fairly review all manner of consumer hardware. you google this shit for a few minutes and then bookmark the good sites.
there's no need to be "rational" when you are the one writing, implementing, or enforcing the laws; in fact it would be irrational to be "rational". why play the rigged game, when you can play the rigging the game other people are playing game?
Huh. Canada's SOE postal service sucks too. Almost makes me scared to ask how your healthcare system is doing. If even that's worse than the US, I'll be grimly impressed.
i assumed they were stalling for time as they try to get themselves embedded as the new regulated monopoly. since their regulation-smashing initiative has had mixed results at best, the finance world is going to get tired of propping up this fad pretty soon. i don't see any other way for them to hold on to even 10% of their current valuation.
yes, but this software is cheaper to license than a sysadmin is to hire. at least at first, and who cares if it actually works? that's what insurance and PR is for, but you need to show "good faith measures" that you're doing something.
in this context, the company's name is very funny.
ffs, if someone needs two-factor authentication several times a day, they can afford a goddam phone plan which doesn't charge per SMS. the most i've ever paid for an SMS was, like, $0.02 when i was a poor grad student using a tracfone. now i have a $30/month plan with unlimited SMS. as i understand it, the US was the worst place for this, and it's going extinct here.
The context was authenticating to email.
So don't use that, then. I guess a fob is too expensive for you too? How about the other suggestion, to use a two-factor provider like duo.com?
just pay for the text message? set up an authentication company and negotiate with the carrier to bring sms rates down for auth messages? just use a second website (or even an email) to re-authenticate?
err, that would be 96^32, about half as "secure" as you claim, though still plenty strong (assuming you got the for loop right, which might be a generous assumption).
a much more effective way of getting this fixed would be to write code which deletes key system files on their machine and replaces them with the message you suggested. you could even fund your charity-hacking by scanning the drive for poorly-encrypted account information and bitcoin wallets, or by encrypting personal files and holding them ransom!
i guess you could, but you'd have a lease term of a year and will generally have to pay at least first+last+security upfront (with bad credit it will be either more, or just not available at any price). in the better areas of Brooklyn and Queens, that's going to be about $10,000 upfront; in the ass-end of nowhere, it's still at least $6,000. then again, you don't need a three-bedroom. even better, if you're savvy you can still independently rent bare-bones workspace for much, much less.
the rational use of daily-term wework rentals is if you're in a city and professionally meeting with someone for a day, and want an office space to get your shit together and look at least semi-professional, rather than meeting a client in the hotel lounge or a starbucks. wework offers longer-term contracts for businesses. comparing the daily rate to a leased apartment is like saying you should buy a house instead of renting an apartment. it's solving a different problem.
the free beer is empty most of the time. it's only reliably refilled when they're showing the place to prospective business clients. (wework offers daily access to individuals as well as short-term quasi-leases to businesses.) the internet also tends to be shit, depending on capacity. it is better than panera bread, i guess, but mostly only because it's cleaner and doesn't have as many poors wandering around. the privacy booths are nice though.
the conference rooms need to be booked and cost extra (though they're often left open and you can usually just use one until someone with a reserved time comes in). oh, and since they're trying to pack as many people in as possible to maximize profit, you end up sharing a two-stall bathroom with 100+ people.
my company had their office in one for a while. it was a mixed bag even for the employees (who weren't paying the inflated lease charges). the founders were thrilled to move out.
the thing is, it's obvious which CD-burning software works. i've never had a CD fail to boot as long as the software successfully burned and verified the disc. i tried two or three methods for making a bootable USB, and they all seemed to work except then they didn't. i'm pretty sure that at least one of them worked on my computer but didn't work on the target, though maybe i'm mis-remembering.
i don't have time for this shit any more, which is why i went with Mac and thus don't need to bother anymore. on the rare occasion that i'm helping someone else, i would rather just burn a bootable disc and bring my dusty USB CD-ROM drive. it just works.
Most computers do claim to boot from USB, but the reality can be quite different (at least as of a few years ago; haven't checked recently). The majority of my experiences with bootable USB have resulted in failure followed by finding a CD burner. The reality is that a CD-ROM drive will read and boot from a CD much more reliably (and predictably) than a random-bios-with-and-who-knows-what-chipset will correct boot from USB. I'd rather go with the CD. I just cannot rely on bootable USB, so I would rather ignore it.
it's part of the foia redaction protocol. by printing everything, they can take better advantage of the pool of people who've been doing this for decades. apart from maintaining operational security, there is also less room for technical error; no metadata leakage, fewer software bugs, etc. They just need to make sure the black marker completely obliterates the text when re-scanned.
What were you eating instead, before you started eating probiotic yoghurt? One possible control for this experiment would be to sterilize the yogurt and see if it still helps.
Presumably it was negotiated with the price. If they wanted more years, they should have paid more upfront.
It is also obvious, to anyone of functional mind, that lawsuits shouldn't be for some "fair" pricing of the disputed value. Anyone who does not understand why, can ask and will undoubtedly receive a thorough thrashing which i, personally, do not have the patience to provide. The whole premise (generously speaking) of this article is dog shit flamebait.
All I could think of while reading this screed was "Old Man Yells at Cloud". Really, your pareidolia is just reaching crazy levels. It's like you're staring that picture which resembles either a vase or two faces in profile, and frothing with yourself about which one to believe in. Relax, take a step back, and you'll realize it's just a picture you can walk away from. Do your work and make your money and leave politics to other people. You've never mentioned any real repercussions to any of the "errors" you've committed.

you're a fucking idiot.
"oh, so that's how you got in. okay. do you know any other backdoors?"
"nope."
"promise?"
"yup!"
"well, that's good enough for us!"
that was my first thought too, but while it may be Symantec's money going into the deal, Symantec is getting Blue Coat's CEO as part of the deal.
it's still under warranty, unless it's 2017 and i just haven't noticed.

That can cost hundreds of dollars per year.

it would still be hard to show damages.

jojoba oil is used in a lot of things, both industrial and cosmetic.
asus is taiwanese. i doubt that they have a whole lot of love for "the usual Chinese MO".

Unfortunately it doesn't take you three hours to post on slashdot. :(
The experiment would still be valid; you're arguing that it would be superfluous.
