  7. Re:Backdoors Will be Used on CCTV Hack Takes Casino For $33 Million · · Score: 1

    It was likely a combination of lazy operators and a lower level employee being bought. On a system that large, especially if it's on a private network, it's not unusual to use default passwords for cameras. It makes adding/replacing/moving cams in your VMS quick and painless. All it would take is learning that password and getting physical access to the network. Since most cameras unicast/multicast the operators would never know their video stream was being intercepted.

    on those cameras. Sorry, my bad.

  9. Re:Oracle sucks. on Solaris Machine Shut Down After 3737 Days of Uptime · · Score: 1

    Unbreakable Linux was really just a maintenance contract, not a distro. Sure they added a couple of packages but it was more about a maintenance revenue stream than any sort of innovation.

  10. Re:Uptime fetish on Solaris Machine Shut Down After 3737 Days of Uptime · · Score: 2

    Not in the same sense. Solaris was a dynamic kernel. Most "kernel patching" was done at the module level. Modules could be unloaded, patched and reloaded without taking the box down. Most of the time, that worked.

    I'm not. Our Dice overlords installed a "log in with FB" link for creating accounts. Had I known it was going to stick that stupid icon on everything I'd spent the extra 30 seconds typing stuff in.

    I do Linux too, but on a consulting basis. Unfortunately it was either take the Windows gig or be unemployed.

    Amen. Made a pretty good career out of Sun/Solaris. Now I spend my time dealing stupid Windows problems.

  15. Re:Damn you Walmart! on H&R Block Software Glitch To Delay 600,000 U.S. Tax Refunds · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The people that cash checks at Walmart, typically, have no bank. The businesses that Walmart is hurting with this service are the sleazeball check cashing folks. I'm not quite sure which way to feel about that.
