That's not the only problem either ... How do you have an object that is garbage collected and not garbage collected at the same time! C++ is the suxors!
In fact social engineering was Mitnick's primary tool. He had skills... Don't get me wrong, but he also knew it is a he'll of a lot easier to call and ask for a password than it is to use technical means to get it. Indeed every person versed in security knows the weakest link is the human element.
Not really, but it does show that there are a lot more idiots like you coming here, and a lot fewer of the people who belong here. My very first thought was "Holy shit! Something that actually belongs on Slashdot on Slashdot!" If your thought was "meh" then I have no idea why you even come here.
That is possibly one of the most stupid things I've seen someone write on Slashdot. There were a lot of people who didn't know what Trump is or thought "it can't be worse than it has been." Those people don't exist anymore. Trump has literally zero chance of a second presidency, but an excellent chance of spending the rest of his pathetic loser life in prison
Somebody doesn't know what Ethernet is apparently. I don't know what Cringely was trying to say, but nothing upstream knows about or cares if your system connects via Ethernet, WiFi, ATM, Token Ring, or IPoAC. Ah... this explains it...

After seeing this, he should really drop the "L" from his last name.
Except it doesn't, because the WiFi is encrypted. I know, next you are going to say that people are breaking WPA2 left and right because it is super easy, and they will target one of these vacuums when they do because that is the most juicy target. Seriously, get a clue; learn about security landscapes.
"If there exist people in the world who want to see movies on opening night but will only do so if the rotten tomatoes score falls within certain criteria, then so be it"
Nobody is making that claim but you. People can complain about the situation and still go to the movie. The two aren't mutually exclusive. Just accept the fact that you aren't very bright and move on with your pathetic life...
That's why whenever I want to find information I ask a human to start randomly doing HTTP requests, remembering all the information, and then remembering the pertinent information and writing it down as well as drawing my a picture.
You are like the people claiming the media is part of a vast conspiracy against Trump. "Look at how all these organizations are painting him out to be an unscrupulous moron by all reporting the same facts!... That proves they are out to make him look bad!"
Keep telling us about yourself, your personal schedule, how you perceive things, including how insignificant RT reviews are in your opinion. The rest of us want to know how we are supposed to think and behave!
A vulnerability has been discovered that leaves the general public vulnerable to eavesdropping attacks! Owners of CDG devices are subject to attacks from random strangers who are in the same home. By simply placing one end of the device against a wall and placing the ear against the other side your private communications may be leaked! These CDGs, also referred to as "common drinking glasses", or sometimes just "glasses" are a serious security flaw. There is NO Firmware update planned. If you have CDGs in your home you should bring them to the landfill immediately or risk suffering the consequences!
3 stupid posts in so little time, all saying the same thing and proving you are a dumbfuck? Listen herpderper, we already get that you are a fucking moron. There is no need to become a Slashstalker to prove it.
Right. It's like when someone says "prove to me I will fall if I jump from this cliff" and I refuse to teach them physics. Proof that there is no proof! Clearly anyone who wanted me to believe that would teach me Physics upon demand! You are a truly special form of special, aren't you?
Not really. Trolls are lazy. It wouldn't eliminate the problem but it would do quite a bit. They would have to make dupe accounts daily or more often. Also, when creating an account it is tied to an email address (IIRC, or could be if it isn't), so they wouldn't be able to do it for long.
I agree that the quotes are necessary around 'educated people':-) Of course that doesn't actually turn out to be true.
"Trump isn't what's wrong here, the people who voted for him aren't what's wrong here."
Bullshit. You can't possibly say with a straight face that a bunch of people fooled by a sociopathic moron into voting for him and won't now admit that they screwed the pooch isn't the problem.
"And when someone points this out to you, your only response is to claim they're a russian."
I never claimed anyone was Russian. You obviously aren't very bright. Again, look at his user name. It isn't ivan, but it's close. Maybe he is Russian and maybe he isn't. That is immaterial. He is a dumbfuck douchebag. Anyone, including you, who thinks that Trump isn't the problem and then goes on to say people are pissed off (No shit? You mean like Trump goes out of his way to make them?) is a moron. For the record, I also don't think you are Pat Morita's character in the Karate Kid just because I called you Mr. Miagi.

You mischaracterize Hollywood style hacks for a living?

I agree TabMixPlus is necessay to browse the internet. That's why I use Chrome instead of Firefox. Oh wait ...
Thanks you for making it clear that you are not qualified to read Slashdot.

Because there are other people besides you on the planet? Just a possibility... I know it sounds far fetched.
What a really short way to tell people you are an idiot.
Throw the baby out with the bathwater much?
This isn't about how to secure the voting machines. Perhaps you should read the summary at least?

You really should have chosen herpderper for your Slashdot login.

I'm assuming this is a list of things easily done in Linux?
Does Windows not support the concept of the paragraph now?
