How about these nitwits find some better ways to improve the human condition before they go off to tilt at windmills. I am all for the prevention of cruelty to animals, but this has just gone over the top into nutcake land. I don't want anything to do with PETA anymore because of the looney positions they started taking in the past few years.
The whole lot of them, just look silly and make it a lot harder for reasonable actions to be taken.
A rite of passage? You must be joking! I've never met anyone stupid enough to have actually run that command with those parms. The first time someone tried that on me, I did a 'man rm' and looked the doc. I always thought that was the lesson; RTFM.
You should include the business owner on your emails to your boss outlining what is wrong AND how to fix the problem. Include in the what is wrong part, why the app is vulnerable.
Since you state that you came into the migration towards the end of the process, state that you are just now understanding that these issues even exist.
I doubt they did sufficient testing. The issues they have now, should have come up in testing. Yeah, sometimes unforeseen things happen in production that did not show up in testing, but this goes ways beyond that. The Federal version of this system was, simply put, never tested from end to end. I suspect that is what happened here.
Okay, so that sounded like a defense of Oracle. Well, it ain't. Blame should be placed where it belongs; on the government hacks that put this tragic waste of tax-dollar money into service.
And then I have to ask; why the f*ck are they not using open source?
Got any citations for this generational shift? None of the kids I know do that, they all want huge honking flat panels. On the other hand, I do most of my watching on my 4 inch Droid smartphone or 7 inch Samsung tablet. And I'm closer to 60 than 50.
We are talking politicians here. What else do you expect? Unless, of course, they don't want to tax your out of state driving.
Although, I suspect that they are more interested in being able to track your movements. "You drove for 1 hour on a road with a speed limit of 55. Yet you went 70 miles. Here is your speeding ticket. Pay up."
Imagine that, it is like Facebook fell off the Internet. I thought I heard crying and whimpering.
My kids ( early 20s ) didn't even notice as they moved on from the site last year. They wouldn't be caught dead on what they call an 'old people site'.
For example, Kodak built up their brand by making decent cameras and film. Then they destroyed it by selling chinsy shit cameras under the Kodak name as a last ditch effort to keep afloat.
You had me until this nugget. Kodak always sold inexpensive or 'chinsy shit' cameras. Do you remember the Brownie? The problem for Kodak was that their core business; film, chemicals and paper went the way of the buggy whip. Some of us still use film, but most photography is done digitally. And the camera business as a whole, including digital, is in a massive slide as fewer and fewer folks buy stand-alone cameras, opting instead to use their camera phone.
The government is good for two and only two things; stealing ( taxes ) and killing ( starting war ). Maybe if the government shuts down, instead of doom and gloom, we will see an era of prosperity and peace.

Now THAT ( having one's grammar corrected ) would shame a German. Watching pron, would not.
Germans do not shame easily. Especially when it comes to porn. They've done far worse.

Anonymous Coward, are you new to Slashdot ?
Nah. He's been saying stupid things since slashdot first opened its doors for business.

Right? And John Thain still runs free.
Really? Wow. I've never had an issue. I just stick it in. In and out, in and out, in and out, in and out, in and out...

Same here in New York
Why steal the hardware? That is nickel and dime. Now they can learn to steal on a whole new level and in more lucrative and less risky way.

Good thing I wasn't drinking, yet.
+1 funny
And that should be second behind any Monsanto GMO crap.
Not free, but flat rate and cheap.

And Netflix loves to send their version of the DVD that has all the cool extras stripped out.
Rule 3b: Don't buy ANYTHING from Lexmark.
Regardless of any quality they may or may not have, this company needs to be permanently black-listed for starting that whole DRM chipping nonsense.

Right. Old people that still think it is 1995 are the only ones still using Facebook.

Really? That's like using Slashdot polls for something important. Non-story.

And I suspect that someone circumventing Apple's cable DRM can use this case as a precedent;
As everyone know the US goverment has created laws that forbid anyone to publicly admit that they inserted backdoors into the code.
Could I get a citation please.
