This is just one of the gazillion attack vectors. There's the.exe wrapped porn file which actually lets you jerk off while the malware silenty does its job in the background. The archived video which is actually an archive, but the unpacker does more than just unpack... And so on and so forth.
Looks like a simple question but I've been pondering it. We have very mature 14 year olds, I met a girl about 10 years ago and I swear to God she looked like she way 20 and talked like she was 20. She was 14. No, I didn't bang her if that's what you're wondering (I was engaged at the time and I'm the kind of dude who doesn't cheat). Since then I saw many girls and boys whose age couldn't have been guessed. "Overgrown" comes to mind, there's no way you could tell they're less than 18. Now, there's people over 18 who look like they're 15, also there's people who act like they're 12 even if they're 30 and so on and so forth. The problem is that theer's no universally applicable algorithm which would say "this person is an adult, that one isn't" unless you throw in an arbitrary, universal threshold. In our society, it's age. Not perfect but probably the best of the many imperfect possible solutions. The alternative would force a case-by-case verification using complex methods (psychological age, physical age, intelligence testing maybe, behavioral testing, etc) which simply is too tedious and complicated.
So until we figure out a better way to separate adults from non-adults... age is the threshold. Again, not perfect but there's no better solution at the moment.
You'd be surprised. I'm cleaning up malware like there's no tomorrow from people's computers - and most of it is injected through this path: - torrent website - click on pop-ups with porn - get malware. I guess it depends on country, though. Where I live, torrents are a BIG thing. People watch movies, play music, jerk off on porn - all coming through torrent sites. There are private trackers which are malware-free, and those with not enough brain to get an account there will go to the malware-laden public ones. They usually search for "porn torrent" and click on the first link they see.
I'm not talking about unsafe machines, just other machines which you occasionally are an user on (e.g. meeting room presentation machine or something). Yeah, I know, those are considered unsafe but we have security solutions enabled on all our machines and they do a decent job.
Until you go to a random PC which you don't own and try logging in to that whatever website... What I did (but is difficult to do in general) is learn an algorithm which allows my own brain to generate a password based on the website I'm logging in to. Give me a website name and I can create an unique password for it, all in my head. And whenever I revisit the website I can re-generate the password for reuse. The algorithm has evolved during last few years and sometimes I have to enter 2-3 passwords if I rarely visit a certain website, but overall it works great.
Thinking a password is easy - but only after you spent some time and brain cells learning the algorithm.
I tried. Wore suits for about 6 months. They felt uncomfortable. I was always wary of spilling a drop of juice or rubbing onto something dusty, my shirt wrists got dirty as shit by mid-day, I felt ridiculous overall (because I have long hair and long beard). And yes it affected my productivity. Negatively, and very much so.
When I got back into jeans and $5 T-Shirts, man, it was heaven!
Same with Windows 8.1 - I installed it, chose the "classic" UI to show by default, I actually forgot there is a "new UI" somewhere. I press Start and type in the first few characters of whatever it is that I need ("Disabl" for example). My most used applications are pinned to taskbar, all my software is dumped into a desktop folder which is doubled as a toolbar, all my games shortcuts are in another Desktop folder which is doubled as a toolbar - everything I need is two clicks away in terms of shortcuts.
GMail started flagging Youtube newsletters as SPAM but gets confused by another filter I added manually to all e-mails from Youtube. I had created a filter which adds a label to that type of e-mail, and now GMail says "This message was not sent to Spam because of a filter you created." every time I am getting an e-mail from Youtube.
Here's a job that's IT-centered but doesn't give a fuck about cloud or non-cloud: Data analysis. Big Data (buzzword, yeah I hate that too) absolutely requires highly technical IT people who "get" (understand) data. Management and MBAs are just eyeballing some graphs but when deep dive analysis comes on, they're as lost as Hansel and Gretel in episode two of "let's take a walk in the park, kids".
You mean Kannad, Telugu, Urdu, Tamil, Marathi, Hindi. Hindi and English are the official languages but in cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad and Mumbai, Hindi actually doesn't come on top.
Pretty much this. I access exactly ONE subreddit - it belongs to a rather small EVE Online alliance. All posts there are nice, positive, interesting, it's a warm little community and I enjoy being a part of it. To me, Reddit is that little corner and nothing else. Of course, I could make the effort of searching for other subreddits and finding one that's uncool, but what's the point?
I didn't say "cut off". I said "a leg cut" as in "a cut on the leg", as in "a superficial cut, but deep enough to ooze some blood". After all, Greece is somewhere at 2% of total EU production.

Keep writing your explanation, I am sure people will laugh after its 27th occurrence.

I, for one, am glad that after I upgrade my parents to Windows 10 they won't have the choice to ignore updates.
And how does Windows 10 run on your parents? Did you update them with an USB stick? Where did you put it?
(moderate +1 funny, that was the intent!)

Is that the thing where people post pictures of what they're having for dinner?
Yeah but only after it came out again through the back door.

Funny, 'cause Youtube is owned by Google.
They should learn from my country's statespeople: NEVER RESIGN!!!
So... in such a way that him saying "Help me, I'm trapped!" would become "I fully support this initiative!" :)
I'd rather we there them.
Yup, they kill you BEFORE they restore your data.
