  1. Re: this malware is less evil on Windows Malware Poses As Ransomware, Just Deletes Victims' Files (slashgear.com) · · Score: 1

    Some ransomware malware deletes files permanently when you turn off your computer.

    That's why you pull the plug/battery instead of asking your OS to shut down.

    Clearly what we need is a means to tell apart the legitimate ransomware authors from the frauds.
    I propose a certification process to determine by thorough testing the credibility of common ransomware and their authors. Passing the certification program would allow the ransomware authors to include a little logo labeled "Certified Trustworthy Ransomware System" on their main splash screen.

    But cameras mess with depth perception, mirrors do not. I'd like to have some cameras in my car, but not for parking.

    Only common sense.
    First, regexp matching is super lightweight when the regexp is trivial, like a fixed string with only terminal symbols.

    Second, it's not like split() could somehow skip the tokenization. It does all the same, plus allocating storage and copying data into it.

    Non-native speaker here, please excuse my ignorance -- but why does stuff "catch on fire" in English? Or should I ask, what does it catch while on fire? More fire? My sprachgefuhl tells me it either "catches fire" or it "is on fire". Can someone resolve this for me, please?

    The right tool? Yes, obviously. The best tool? Not necessarily. Debugability is pretty much orthogonal to whatever job the tool is supposed to do when it behaves as it should.
