  1. Re:This isn't just Google's fault. on Firefox Marketing Head Expresses Concerns Over Google's Apparent 'Only Be On Chrome' Push (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    That's how web standards start... HTTP2.0 came from Google's Chrome-only SPDY

    U2F... 2.0 is also know as "Web Authentication: An API for accessing Public Key Credentials" https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn...
    Appears to be on it's way to a real standard

    FYI, Mozilla and Microsoft are currently working on U2F in Edge and Firefox

    Try again with Firefox 58 or later. Due out end of this year.

  4. No, for that you need Courage.

  5. Re:Coffee breaks? on 83 Percent Of Security Staff Waste Time Fixing Other IT Problems (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Yup, which is why a lot of places based work day estimates on 6 hour days, even though staff work for 8 hours.
    There's toilet breaks, there's staff meetings, there's coffee breaks, there's chatting to co-workers, there's posting on slashdot.

  6. It's not all wasted money on 83 Percent Of Security Staff Waste Time Fixing Other IT Problems (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    How much extra time would a less qualified (lower paid) person be taking to do the same work?
    If they get paid 20% less but take twice as long, there is savings, not waste.

  7. yeah, they probably stopped using DMV and switched to Facebook

  8. Sure, it's not a phone call on Republicans Want To Leave You Voicemail -- Without Ever Ringing Your Cellphone (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    But how is voice message spam any different than text message spam?

    Apart from some people having to pay to check their voice mail and you don't even get the opportunity to know who it is before incurring the charge?
    Unless the carrier sends you a message saying who sent you a voice message. In that case it's both voice and text message spam.

  9. Re:Congrats - another round of self-aggrandizing on 'Coding Is Not Fun, It's Technically and Ethically Complex' (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Have you forgotten that the teachers are teaching tech and the nurses use technology?

  10. Speak for yourself on 'Coding Is Not Fun, It's Technically and Ethically Complex' (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    I find coding fun. I've been doing it for a living for over a decade and I still enjoy it.

    The only parts of the job I don't enjoy is when I have to sit around waiting between bits of work.

  11. Re:Why not patched? on Almost All WannaCry Victims Were Running Windows 7 (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    That's what WSUS is for. It gives you complete control of update installation. You can set up a testing group of machines to apply the updates to, test it, then deploy to the rest of the organisation.

  12. Maybe in USA, where the dealers lobby hard for monopoly laws.

  13. Why not patched? on Almost All WannaCry Victims Were Running Windows 7 (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    If a patch was released months ago, why did so many people not install it?

  14. Or it could turn out like the automotive industry, where manufacturers make a handsome profit on spare parts. You couldn't even replace 10% of the parts in a car for the cost of a new one.

  15. Re:Or patient selection... on The Older the Doctor, the Higher the Patient Mortality Rate, Study Finds (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Unless you're declared mentally unfit, you're only ever given options.
    Option 1) Take their advice
    Option 2) Don't take their advice

  16. All those companies are software companies.
    Magic smoke is a hardware thing
    I don't think they would intentionally execute the HCF instruction

    Maybe it has something to do with pfSense?

  19. Re:The democrats are really out of control on Officials Fear Russia Could Try To Target United States Through Kaspersky AV (go.com) · · Score: 0

    It was a choice between a turd sandwich and a giant douche
    I guess the American people wanted a douche instead of a turd.

    I find that quite helpful.
    I put my coffee next to the fan vent on my laptop and it keeps it warm.

  21. Why would any "key U.S system" have Russian AV software installed? A key function of AV software is to be able to intercept pretty much anything that happens.

  22. Re:Great intent. You *want* your voip packets dela on Oracle And Cisco Both Support The FCC's Rollback Of Net Neutrality (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    * If a UDP packet for an RTP stream comes in out of order, it's timestamp and sequence numbers doesn't align so it's dropped. It doesn't get played in the wrong order.

    I don't WANT my voip packets delayed. I don't want my ISP prioritising video streaming websites over my voip provider because the streaming sites have lots more money to spend.

  23. Who's fault is kernel 3.18? on Google's Upcoming 'Fuchsia' Smartphone OS Dumps Linux, Has a Wild New UI (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Qualcomm, they don't provide Linux drivers for later kernels.

    How are they going to fix this problem by switching to yet another OS?

  24. Customers may want their traffic prioritised, but they also want it to be their choice which traffic.

    I wouldn't want Big Video Streaming Service paying for pipes so big compared to my VoIP provider it kills my phone calls when someone else in the house watches a video.

    What I would want is to be able to pay as a customer to prioritise VoIP traffic for the provider of my choosing (or simply pay for neutral service and do the QoS myself on my own router)

  25. yeah, I also just realised Oracle want to make their cloud platform successful.
    Net neutrality stops them using money to make their competition slower than them.
