  1. Way to go NBN on Vint Cert Warns IPv4 Users: 'Time To Get With the Program' (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    There is not a single ISP on the NBN in Australia who provides IPv6 over FTTC. That is new technology launched in 2018. Way to go NBNco!

  2. NAME
              mtree -- map a directory hierarchy

    SYNOPSIS
              mtree [-LPUcdeinqruxw] [-f spec] [-f spec] [-K keywords] [-k keywords]
                          [-p path] [-s seed] [-X exclude-list]

    DESCRIPTION
              The mtree utility compares the file hierarchy rooted in the current
              directory against a specification read from the standard input. Mes-
              sages are written to the standard output for any files whose character-
              istics do not match the specifications, or which are missing from
              either the file hierarchy or the specification.

  3. Back to the good old BBS days! on Congo Shuts Down Internet Services 'Indefinitely' (nytimes.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Time to dust of these Fidonet Technical Standards printouts!

  4. Re:As they say: on Belgium Ends 19th-Century Telegram Service (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I think he got a dare. And lost. And then had to do this.

  5. Re:I have an idea on Trump Says Broadcom Is Moving Headquarters To US From Singapore (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    That's Qualcomm you are thinking about.

  6. Reminds me of this one: on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Explain 'Don't Improve My Software Syndrome' Or DIMSS? · · Score: 2

    The helpdesk closes the issue as "User error".
    The engineer closes the issue as "Showed documentation".
    The senior engineer opens an "Usability issue".

  7. Make apps independent of (i)OS on Lawsuit Claims Apple Forced Users To iOS 7 By Breaking FaceTime (appleinsider.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Currently the only way to update included apps when you purchase a new phone is via an iOS upgrade.

    As such this whole drama could be prevented by being able to upgrade a single included app via the AppStore instead of via an (i)OS upgrade.

  8. New version of cigarette case stories... on Macbook Saves Man's Life During Fort Lauderdale Airport Shooting (chron.com) · · Score: 2

    It are the same kind of (bullshit)stories as the deck of cards stopping the bullet, or the cigarette case stopping the bullet, or the bible stopping the bullet.

    How many other people at the airport which got shot did have their macbook with them and didn't get the chance to use it as a shield?

  9. Trolling on North Korea Hopes To Plant Flag On The Moon Within 10 Years (ap.org) · · Score: 0

    Trolling, and the media got caught hook, line and sinker. Well done!

  10. With a patent system like this... on Patent Troll VirnetX Wants To Ban FaceTime and iMessage, Increase Damages Award By $190M (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 1

    With a patent system like this, who needs terrorists to attack you?

  11. Copper-based Ethernet you mean on Ask Slashdot: Is It Time To Shrink the Ethernet Connector? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Fiber-based Ethernet has already different kind of connectors.

  12. Not big enough to have your own private cloud? on GE CTO On Moving 9,000 Apps To the Public Cloud · · Score: 1

    You would think that a company like GE would be big enough to be able to have their own private cloud infrastructure.

  13. Re:Can anyone explain in actual meaningful terms? on Apple Admits iCloud Problem Has Killed iOS 9 'App Slicing' · · Score: 1, Interesting

    > Finally, Bitcode. Instead of uploading pre-compiled binaries, developers upload what Apple calls an âoeintermediate representationâ of the app. The App Store then automatically compiles the app just before downloading. This allows it to automatically implement part of App Slicing even if the developer hasnâ(TM)t bothered to tag their code, downloading only the 32- or 64-bit code as required.

    That will bring up a nice amount of Heisenberg bugs.

  14. Re:Dear Corporate IT on IT Departments Try To Avoid Getting "Ubered" · · Score: 1

    > You have outsourced your networking experts to foreign countries.

    "This is IP Soft, how can I help you?"

  15. Re:From a proxy insider.... on UK Government Department Still Runs VME Operating System Installed In 1974 · · Score: 1

    > The fact that the systems are VME is simply a reflection on the vast amount of logic that went into developing some substantial business systems

    In my approach: Logic should be in configuration files, not in the code.

  16. Re:2GB on Apparent Islamic Terrorism Strikes Sydney · · Score: 1

    From all the stations you could come up with, you came up with the one which handles these kind of issues worst.

    Go for ABC 702, it is mentally relaxing listening to this while my colleagues are shitting their pants around the various commercial TV station broadcasts: http://streema.com/radios/ABC_...

  17. Re:Wolves among sheep on Apparent Islamic Terrorism Strikes Sydney · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Because the social "everybody is allowed to wear guns" experiment is doing so great in the USA.

  18. Re:Helium? on WD Announces 8TB, 10TB Helium Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    Now if there was an easy way to get it out of all these stars....

  19. Re:Stradivarius instruments were not created by Go on Elite Violinists Can't Distinguish Between a Stradivarius and a Modern Violin · · Score: 1

    You should ask your synthesizer company why they have so much problems replicating the sound of a violin.

  20. Mythbusters on Emotional Attachment To Robots Could Affect Battlefield Outcome · · Score: 1

    Soldiers told her that attachment to their robots didn't affect their performance, yet acknowledged they felt a range of emotions such as frustration, anger and even sadness when their field robot was destroyed.

    Anybody who has seen an episode of Mythbusters knows their positive relationship with Buster and the other dummies they have or craft.

  21. Examples of good software patents? on How Patent Trolls Stalled a New Transit App · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    So everybody is complaining about bad software patents, but are there any good software patents which are actually doing something tricky/interesting worth patenting?

  22. Now how to prevent it? on Hacking Group Linked To Chinese Army Caught Attacking Dummy Water Plant · · Score: 4, Interesting

    As somebody who left the network / sysadmin business before the attacks started from the inside (send enough malware to everybody inside a company and you will get lucky at a certain moment), how would you protect it best?

    Airgap it (or properly firewall it), and people will complain about the costs of duplicate infrastructure, remote support from vendors will be a pain etc.

    Monitor the network and spot anomalies, it's a hard task but could be the way to go. Except that you need skilled people there (not saying that there aren't, my experiences in a TAC shows that there aren't many).

    Letting the attackers waste time in a honey-pot while your own network is isolated? At least you learn from it and you give them a false sense of victory.

    What is wisdom, any thoughts?

  23. Sequel on Signs Point To XKCD's Time Ending · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'm waiting for the sequel: More time.

    (before anybody flames, I follow it every couple of days via http://geekwagon.net/projects/xkcd1190/).

  24. No self-destruct? on Russian Rocket Proton-M Crashes At Launch · · Score: 1

    Why was there no self-destruct happening?
    Where was the guy with his finger on the "press here to explode rocket" button?

  25. What about non-domain name related data? on ICANN Working Group Seeks To Kill WHOIS · · Score: 1

    Like AS numbers, network blocks etc?

    Oh wait, they don't make money out of that will be thrown out?
