I haven't had a subscription to a magazine since I was a kid. I've picked one up at a newstand on very rare occasion (like stuck in an airport). Usually if something interests me, I'll seek it out. I don't need it handed to me. I rely on several aggregator sites to keep me abreast of any exciting developments in fields of interest. I probably have more catalogs than magazines around the house, but that's because they just show up at my door. I do keep a stack of 90s era playboys in the bathroom, just in case I need to make one of those cut and paste ransom notes.
I get it. I'm just pointing out that there is actually very little that can be done to protect against a DDOS attack. I don't think it's a matter of negligence on the bank's part (or at least not in the same vein as traditional unpatched vulnerabilities).
Read that again. They're talking about Windows being a breeding ground for zombies that carry out these attacks. But yeah, stupid reasoning nonetheless. Trying to litigate our problems away is part of the problem, not the solution.
So we can finally make cars that run on marijuana trimmings! We just need to get enough various, concerted industries to team up and choke off Big Oil. Can't you just smell that paradigm shifting.
This is all based on the false assumption that tax dollars are primarily used to promote the general welfare. At least in my country, some quick research into government spending will show you that taxes have a fairly piss-poor ROI. Our congress doesn't put out a very assuring prospectus.
You've succeeded in causing me to avoid slashdot for an entire day. I'm all for april fools' jokes, but I'll be damn if I'll click an extra link to read a story.
quit comparing bitcoin to USD. We all know inflation on the dollar is crazy and trending toward never getting better. If you truly want to measure worth, compare the bitcoin to gold or oil. I have no doubt bitcoins could one day be worth $1000. I also have no doubt that a tank of gas could one day be worth $1000.
Well...yeah. They get better code for their projects, we get to use that functionality in open source programs, and nobody gets sued. Sounds pretty win/win.
While we're at it, why are contractions only viable for 2 words? What about it'lln't, I'd've, wouldn't've, I'ven't, and the like. Language needs to catch up with my boundless laziness.

The first, and only, thing I thought of when I read this: I wonder what a sweaty hulk smells like.

Ooge Ass
IDK, what's your computer monitor good for?
I get it. I'm just pointing out that there is actually very little that can be done to protect against a DDOS attack. I don't think it's a matter of negligence on the bank's part (or at least not in the same vein as traditional unpatched vulnerabilities).
That analogy doesn't really apply to getting DDOS'd. That's like locking your lobby during business hours so the bad guys can't get in.

But the net is close to zero. All that carbon came from the atmosphere in the first place.

Don't want a prostate exam administered by a thick-fingered Samoan? Deal with it. You should get one; it's awesome!

or perhaps "...With Unsplicit Warrants"

...full of hollowpoints?
or Gitmo. That place is still open, right?
I'm pretty sure Casio introduced the smartwatch back in '70s.
It's been downhill over the last year since Leslie died.
Turns out, I'm gay. Even Facebook knew it before I did.

Everyone knows ' is the universal symbol for "here come's an S"
I'm sure we have enough conventional munitions to blanket the country at least once.
I'm mostly talking about the Internet. Netflix only buffers a minute or two.
Where the hell's our Leif Ericson day?
