We are losing time with this and going back and forth, wasting our tax dollars, because the media is shitting in their pants this will open a precedent for a mere peasant that was part of a film to interfere with their fiefdom.
Here it was a scam buying a house as an investment. You cannot rent it, as the tenant became the owner with socialist laws to guarantee house to anybody, and you have to pay huge council taxes, and even if the tenant pays a low rent, you have to pay for all the repairs. On top of that, the tenant fucks up your house over time, and even better, when you sell it, you pay a tax of 40% on the profit you made from when you bought it, without taking inflation into account.
Language evolves, and while hackers used to have another meaning, nowadays it means something different, and does not matter where it is a script kiddtie or the NSA attacking you.
So you are saying they are masochists that write everything from scratch, and automagically the binaries are eerily compatible between versions. And I quite remember not long ago they discovering a 20 year old bug - but hey, I could be wrong saying they reuse code and I do not believe their markeing. http://www.techradar.com/news/...
And it is. The fact that you may have a 10-year old server infected with some malware, and a FUD article for someone with vested interests in running AV solutions for every machines does not disprove it. Plus it is very easy to have malware and or running external commands through applicational holes, like wordpress both in Windows or Linux if your PHP is not well configured, and it is not exactly "Linux" fault. Pity the article is more concerned with fear mongering than providing technical details.
The last attacks I have seen they use coded transmission to talk with the CC, and I have seen a couple of instances where when running locally, they erase the binaries to not be tracked. If one is not careful analysing a system or too fast shutting down a compromised server, you will damage important data to be collected with foresync tools for sure.
I cannot the ITIL demand. I always heard of it, though it was a big deal. I had to take a mandatory ITIL certification here, and it boils down to rules written by some old timers British bureaucrats that you have to memorise. What a boatload of hype for nothing.
If you know someone, you can more easily get the job, but then the certs helps him convince the others. You won't be the only one knowing someone inside.
It depends on your objectives, and which market you are working on. I have LPI certs, as I do not work with RH, and I am always getting contacted. Experience counts too, certs are to get you on the door.
I used it constantly for a good two years. The tape was always out of order, and I remember I blew up around 3 or 4 tape recorders with it, and my parents were not too happy of my using of the tape recorders and the TV. I clearly remember at one point my father literally kicked the tape recorder out of frustration. There were maybe months in a row I wrote my assembly programs in paper, and poked them on BASIC to try them because I had not a tape recorder in working conditions. By around the 3rd year I bought myself a XT, and maybe a year and something after, or two, a 386SX, and I only picked up the Spectrum maybe one year later on where I experimented with it during summer time to understand better some undocumented instructions for an emulator I was beginning to write in C.
I have seen the FPGA projects, and got an idea they are quite interesting, but however suffer the same drawbacks of the emulations, or even more considering nowadays I can run a Spectrum from my mobile. FPGAs seem to cater more for hobbyists than as a consumer device, and that is why I found this whole Vega story a bit non-consistent.
You are the delusional one sir. I would not mind some discrete ads. Thing is most ads are intrusive. Some are huge. Others are animated. Another ones, they tend to be on the place where the content should be placed. Many others, they open boxes and web pages, and can be quite a nuisance. They also waste bandwidth and CPU cycles. And we are not even talking about ads being a carrier for malware.
I am quite aware things have moved on,I have not posted in comp.sys.sinclair for almost 20 years, have you not noticed the word "heydays"? I am just making a point old emulators already emulated quite well most of the quirks. Actually I do remember from the top of my head some emulator emulation bleeding, but I think I would pass that. And that is why I really do not like discussing things here, people tend a lot to take things out of context to make a point. An much less with ACs.
Yes, you made a very valid point. I had myself not the original spectrum but a TC 2048 clone that also had problems with some games due to differences handling ports, having a joystick port already built-in and some extensions ("hires" graphic modes"). Thanks for the tip about SE Basic.

Brillant.

Like the Sony, Disney, and others?
Windows IS malware. Yes, wannabe censors, mod me down.
Go to youtube and see how many fake files are there, with how many fake users of any sony (or MGM) movies.

gets better everytime. This is not news anymore, it is a damn mexican soap opera.

LOL. Windows not reusing code? I guess you believe in santa claus and the fairy tooth too.
People are cutting corner and costs everywhere... and then they got surprised.

How about asking references from ex-colleagues?

The problem is more than "opening tickets". A sysadmin without some basic networking knowledge is a serious shortcoming.
Yep, over the years I learned that in classes professors do not like to be corrected. The best strategy is to keep unnoticed.
