a European aircraft maker that said it cleans the cockpits of its planes every week of malware designed for Android phones. The malware spread to the planes only because factory employees were charging their phones with the USB port in the cockpit. Because the plane runs a different operating system, nothing would befall it. But it would pass the virus on to other devices that plugged into the charger.
How does that even make sense?!? What is running on the charger for it to spread the malware?
The so-called "charger" would simply seem to be a USB port on a computer in the cockpit. Still I can't say as to how this malware uses this setup in order to propagate itself given that TFS says the original OS is not affected.
So unless it is some seriously high member of Gov, this is absolute irrelevant information and to me that means that the rest is likely also irrelevant information.
So now the Bad Guys[1] have a nice list of people known to be inside government who are vain enough to sign up for a dating site called "Beautiful People" using their government emails. Just by knowing this you know that these are prime targets to be catphished with the aim of delivering malware inside the government systems.
Is it ageism when I turn down work because the company wants my experience but is only willing to pay the price of a someone straight out of college?
But yes..I have experienced ageism in a former company. I once worked for a company that had a president like the mentioned HubSpot CEO. Me and 3 other middle career hires once sat around with dropped jaws during one company meeting when he gushed over hiring people straight out of college because then he could "shape" them into the perfect company workers. Where as he couldn't do that with older hires. Apparently us older workers with all our experience were outright trouble makers.
Fortunately I was only at that place for 6 months.
sales person root access who promptly ran rm -rf/*.*.
Back a long long time ago in place far far away I was working in Unix on a VAX. It was late, I was tired. I wanted to delete a bunch of files. Some of the files I wanted to delete matched the pattern fred.* while others matched the pattern *.barney. So in my muddled head I thought that I could save a typing one command by combining the two patterns and doing rm *.* Of course I realized my mistake the moment I hit return. Fortunately it was in a local directory and I could easily recreate what I had lost.
It's a potential death trap far more dangerous than helicopter.

As far as I know, no-one every died from flying the WASP. And Williams has way more flight time than these people (who brag about flying 275 metres). But these jokers don't seem to know or admit their flying machine history and seem totally enamored with the quad-copter as a platform for personal use.
Likewise this device is also a potential death trap as well. Just flip it upside down and you are screwed.
It's all a conspiracy by CIA and secret reptilian government to discredit Putin and thus prevent him from his crane-leading endeavors.
My god.. the stupidity of that site is unbounded. And I could refute many of their "points" just by looking at the same evidence that they were presenting.
Why, because no one but you knows how to read an article? Summaries are called "summaries" for a reason. They don't contain every goddamned piece of information contained in the article.
So you'd prefer a title/summary of:
40 years ago Jerry Ehman received a message from space that changed his life! Now a professor from Florida wants to show the world how true that message was - and that truth is stranger than fiction! Click here to see what happens next!
Yeah.. but are you hearing about the pepper spraying itself or the payments about the pepper spraying? It seems like it is the latter and that nobody gives a rats arse about the spraying itself. Plus, throw some more money at it and eventually even these stories will disappear.
... the fact that Davis tried to bury this in the first place, or that they were gullible enough to flush $175K down the toilet for that kind of scam.
Is it a scam?
Give me $175K and I can spend a lot of time creating links all over the place to websites that only show Davis in a positive light. After a while all the negative stories about Davis will have been pushed to the 2nd and 3rd pages of Google's search result. So unless you are explicitly searching for Davis and pepper spray, that means that the story is effectively out of the public eye.
Every version of OS X since mavericks in 2013 has been free and runs on pretty much any mac built after 2007. So really folks, get with the program and update.
My iMac still works perfectly fine but can't run Mavericks. So what program should I get with?
Off topic. I was considering replacing it with a mac mini, but with the last refresh gutting the mac mini's specs I now don't know what the best upgrade path is. I'm almost to the point of building a hackintosh.
Oops.. damn auto correct. That should be maniacs. On the other hand "maniacs" does fit just as well!
And its 2016 for dogs sake. Why can't I edit my posts and correct stupid typos? And yeah I DO know all the arguments for and against. And the against ones are pretty weak sauce.
How dare maniacs bring common sense and rational thinking into TFS! I want my old click bait slashdot back/s
While the aforementioned incident should serve as a reminder to people on why they need to be wary of the product they are purchasing, this isolated occurrence doesn't prove in any way that "plenty" of cameras on Amazon are also infected, as the article and the original blog post are subtly trying to imply.
The truth must be that he's a shill for the Urban Security Group. Yeah that's it, you insensitive clod. Net craft confirms it. So take your hot grits and a beowulf cluster of Natalie Portmans and let Soviet Russia shove you.
Probably true, but the order itself is illegal, so the President would need to have a defense against that, because Congress and the Attorney General are going to want an answer.
I didn't hear much complaining when the US executed a US citizen without due process.
An old sci-fi book from 1966 by George Henry Smith called "The four day weekend" Basically car worship and AI has run amok to the point that cars are almost sentient and lots of people have fetishes about them. But the cars remain (sort of) subservient until Aliens trigger a "car-mageddon" over a (you guessed it) 4 day weekend.
A few years ago I was watching the Killer landslide documentary. There was a brief shot of video from inside a (national guard?) helicopter than panned over the instrument panel. In that brief moment I noticed that there was video display on the instrument panel that was overlaid with a road map of the area and that the map kept correct orientation with the outside world as the helicopter banked around (which given that the roads hand been obliterated by the landslide would have been a handy thing for the pilots).
So the augmented reality displays have been around for a long long time to the point that they have filtered down to "mere" rescue choppers.
I heard of dropping random USB sticks in public places (10?) years ago for testing security (IIRC in the context of testing banks). That along with strategically dropping CD's in the bathrooms of companies with the CD's marked something like "Super secret HR layoff plan"

I don't need to replace my MotoX at all. It runs the latest version of the OS and works well.
My original RAZR still runs the latest software for that platform and also works quite well at making phone calls!

Maybe most bears might be subject to it, but for one who is not your average bear it would be a different thing.

Williams did this with the WASP in the 1970's. No fancy electronics needed either.
They also tried to sell it to the military, but the military decided that choppers were the go instead.
Cause MH17 and MH370 are actually the same plane.

I'll bet on the SpaceX engineers anytime over a random commenter on /. (regardless of the UID)
Do you really think that they haven't run the sums before spending all that time and effort perfecting something that you call "a stunt"?
I'm sure that John McAfee has already spent all the money on bath salts.

As per what the AC said .. you do know why his nickname was "Neutron Jack" don't you?
He was famous for getting rid of people while leaving the buildings standing in the same vein as a neutron bomb.
