  1. Give ti a cool name:

    The company plans to release a full technical paper and presentation about the ASUS attack, which it has dubbed ShadowHammer, next month at its Security Analyst Summit in Singapore.

    Check.

  2. Scientists Continue Waffling on Eggs

    Mmmmm... waffles...

  3. Once you start running internet over a cable system, you're at the mercy of the cable system for what they decide to upgrade in order to offer anything faster or whether they even want to serve an area.

    I can see houses that have cable service from my driveway, but TWC (at the time, now Spectrum) wanted $26,000 to install at my house from the *opposite* direction. I passed.

    Luckily, the phone company (coop) where I live installed a crap ton of fiber to replace their aging copper, and now I get rock solid 4 Mbits (with up to 1 Gbit available) for the same price I used to pay for flaky DSL. Most people are not that fortunate.

  4. I find it incredibly sad we live in a world where lobbyists have to be told what "tele" and "communication" mean.

    FTFY

  5. If it ain't broke don't fix it, but broke is highly subjective. It might happen slowly, but at some point the reliance on outdated, unsupported, insecure tech crosses the threshold into broke territory, and your frog gets boiled.

    or other non job web use.

    Like, oh, say, Slashdot?

  7. Wanna bet they used IE 6 on XP to support some gawd-awful "legacy system" built by a low bidder back in the 90's?

  8. Re:Actually its a decent list for conduct on SQLite Adopts 'Monastic' Code of Conduct (sqlite.org) · · Score: 1

    All of my fake internet points for you.

  9. Even virus scanners must at some level rely on the system to not lie to them.

    Kaspersky provides a Live CD rescue disk. I have had luck with it in the past. But even with a live CD, you have to know a good deal about both the target system and the malware.

  11. No Samsung S* Active? on The Toughest (And Weakest) Phones Currently On the Market (tomsguide.com) · · Score: 1

    The Active variants of the Galaxy S line have treated me and my boys well since the S6 Active. I recently upgraded to an S8 Active so my youngest could inherit my old S6 Active. Now they do say they are looking at "nonrugged" phones at the top, but then they call the LG X Venture a "value priced rugged phone", so who knows.

  12. In Soviet Russia, weather reports you.

  14. Re:No, it isn't on Comcast's Xfinity Internet Service Is Down Across the US [Update] (theverge.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It could be an outbound issue, like a DNS server. That would also explain why the outage covers multiple regions.

  15. Re:Is that surprising? on Perl is the Most Hated Programming Language, Developers Say (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    A coworker once said to me "Perl code looks a lot like C code, doesn't it?"

    To which I replied "Perl code can look like C code, but it doesn't have to. *My* Perl code looks like C code. Perl code can look like line noise."

    What is the terminal velocity of an unladen eel?

    All nouns can be verbed, and all verbs can be nouned.

  20. Peril sensitive?

    Ray Bans will do, as long as they shield you from the effects of the neuralyzer.

  21. So they are just looking for someone who can leverage existing basic isolation protocols to create additional protocols for returning missions.

    No ray guns involved. :-(

    Yes but what a great job title. Imagine having "Planetary Protection Office" on your business cards

    But you have to supply your own sunglasses.

  23. Re:Bullshit on NSA Links WannaCry To North Korea (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The only TLA that applies here is "CYA". I guess they think it's less embarrassing for another state actor to weaponize their leaked vulnerabilities than for some script kiddies scamming for bitcoin to do it.

  24. Re:Old School : Darkstar on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Favorite Sci-Fi Movie? · · Score: 1

    John Carpenter's The Thing was not really sci-fi, but ancient aliens were central to the plot so it's worth a mention at least. And it was a fucking awesome movie that still holds up.
