Trust the folks who attempt to give you sage advice with no advantage to them. Ever have the misfortune of looking too long at a the arc of a welder's flash?
The funny thing is, funny strange not funny ha-ha, that it takes several hours to really pay dividends.
Yes indeed, battery acid and prayers to a God you didn't believe in this morning, either.

Uma Thurman (a.k.a The Bride), somehow is frozen in cryo-stasis and re-awakens in the 23 century looking for Bee-Bee's great-great-great grandchild. She discovers that the child has been kidnapped by the Romulans and watch the green bloodbath while she slices and dices her way to her objective.
Was involved in an alleged murder of a person here in Arkansas awhile back. Apparently, it did not contain nor record anything incriminating as the accused murder was acquitted. Here is one of the articles: https://www.npr.org/sections/a...
*accused murderer* was acquitted...
CORRECTION: The case was dismissed (not acquitted by jury) basically due to lack of evidence. The prosecutor stated via another TV station in our area that the case can be re-opened if the prosecutor finds more evidence. http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/30/...

Kaspersky's antivirus doesn't protect against malware? Now you've really thrown down the gauntlet!
It doesn't protect when it's turned off. From TFA:
The worker's home machine got infected with the backdoor after he tried to install a pirated version of Microsoft Office.
Not only is pirated software notorious for containing malware, but the worker apparently intentionally disabled his Kaspersky detection software to install the pirated software. The worker disabled it in order to run a tool known as a keygen that would generate a software key that would allow him to run the pirated Microsoft Office software on his machine. But that key-generation software turned out to contain a backdoor known as “Smoke Bot," “Smoke Loader,” and "Mokes" that was purportedly created by a Russian hacker in 2012 and sold on a Russian underground forum.
I hope this dork got fired for such incompetence....
More like the episode "And the children shall lead" from Star Trek TOS. Science tried to create a cure for old age and it ended up killing everyone EXCEPT kids!

What it felt like sitting atop the rocket, ready to launch?
John Glenn's answer has always stick with me: “I felt about as good as anybody would, sitting in a capsule on top of a rocket that were both built by the lowest bidder.”

My company just got thru installing a new accounting system and there is a separate document handling piece that has its own login. The trainer that trained us on the main accounting piece showed us how to setup security on that software, but never showed us the setup on the Document Handling system.
Someone called my extension inside my company asking for access to that system (I knew the person and his job, so I knew he needed access), and I happened to guess the default admin password was 'admin'. SMH & (facepalm). Obviously I made myself admin on the system with my own credentials and disabled the built-in admin acct.
AOL bought ICQ years ago and integrated it with AIM, I'm curious if Yahoo is planning too kill ICQ as well (assuming they are since it uses the same servers as AIM, they probably didn't even realize they bought it.) Haven't used AIM in years but still check in to ICQ daily.
They probably virtualized those servers long ago and a simple press of the 'Delete' key will put those out of their misery.
Norway has the highest amount of electric vehicles on the planet per capita even though they're a major oil producer because they pay no taxes on EVs, meaning no VAT and no additional vehicle taxes that normal cars are subject to. Additionally, electric vehicles are not subject to road tolls. AT the same time, gas costs 2 dollars a litre, meaning 7,5 dollars a gallon, and that's cheap for Norway, the last time I was there it was higher.
So all we need to do is:
Slap huge vehicle taxes on non-electric cars,
Impose a hefty VAT on non-electric vehicles,
And tax gasoline until it is $7.50/gal?
THEN weâ(TM)ll start to see sales of electric vehicle increase? I canâ(TM)t imagine any unintended consequences from such market manipulations, can you?/sarcasm
It's already happening (unintended consequences). Now that most modern vehicles use much less gas than before, U.S. states are losing fuel tax revenue and are starting implement 'electric car fees' to make up the difference. Uncle Sam is gonna get their pound of flesh no matter how you try to avoid it. https://insideevs.com/u-s-stat...
IIRC, modern tape drives still requires that you use a firmware tape during the process, so stand-alone tape drives at least would be immune to a purely online attack..
Nope. HP Tape Tools https://www.hpe.com/us/en/prod... allow you to update firmware, perform maintenance, etc on most modern HP tape drives that are attached to your server.
So conceivably, a hacker could access the backup server (assuming it has HP tape drives attached physically to it), and inject their own firmware (unless there is safeguards in the software to not allow random firmware packages to be uploaded).
I support the death penalty. So much, in fact, that I want to see Equifax executed - in this case, by having its corporate charter revoked. They're not "too big to fail". They're not providing a valuable product to our economy. They're not America's Last Great Hope at manufacturing or anything like that. They're a rent-seeking parasite on the economy who obviously can never again be trusty with the weaponizable data they collect on everyone who lives here. Cut off its head - sacrifice it on the altar of accountability and justice - and call it done.
And as we'd lock up a street-level criminal until their trial, Equifax should be imprisoned by having its bank accounts and stock trades frozen immediately. Sure, that means it can't pay its CEO. Yes, it means its employees will break up with it in favor of more upstanding members of society. Yeah, it means it won't be able to pay rent and will probably get evicted. If all that's good enough for Joe Accused Weed Dealer, it's good enough for Equifax Accused Stalker.
No, they get completely destroyed. This is why the charging circuit doesn't let you completely discharge any LiIon batteries. If you want to see what happens, get a laptop battery, run the laptop until it reports empty, and then leave the battery for a few months for the remaining charge to leak. Don't store it near anything flammable...
In radio controlled models, we have to follow the same guidelines. Most electric model ESCs (Electronic Speed Control) have a voltage cutoff setting for a given battery that will shut down the model when battery voltage drops to a specific point. If you disable the voltage cutoff, you start puffing and ruining batteries. At that point you treat that battery like a hand grenade attached to a motion detector.

But make sure it's really 18 year old scotch. I once went home with something I thought was 18 but ... not worth the hassle, trust me, so not worth it.

Seriously that's the only reason I have an account with them.
