    Lowes packed up their order and had it delivered to their house! There should be like 3 computer functions that mitigate that risk and oh, a dozen PHYSICAL ACTS that should have stopped it.

    Lowes is just full of fail on this one.

    Lol... Isn't like the FIRST FUCKING RULE of software development, "Don't migrate to production until it passes ALL QA tests. And if their QA tests left a hole like this open, time to hire a new QA manager!

  8. Re:Make America great again! on How UPS Trucks Saved Millions of Dollars By Eliminating Left Turns (ndtv.com) · · Score: 1

    There are legitimate questions about whether Donald J. Trump raped a 13 year old girl in 1994.

    That's a showstopper for anyone who isn't a piece of shit.

    Don't be a piece of shit.

    It's wrong to treat Nazis like human beings.

    You don't have to scan it. Last time we were shooting film regularly ( 10+ years ago ) Kodak returned a CD with the prints.

  11. Re:Poor Nazis on Twitter Suspends American Far-Right Activists' Accounts (theguardian.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Every time I see a Trump Supporter, I think, "There's someone who didn't think the legitimate questions about Donald J. Trump raping a 13 year old girl are a show-stopper".

    Then I throw up a little.

    *For a concrete example, all of your scripts that automatically ssh into a server, start a process with screen, and log out, now break. To name just one thing that I have done on numerous occasions.

    Hey, if i understand the way logind works, if you login as root and run the process under screen, it won't kill the process when you logout!

    An easy work-around that doesn't require configuration file changes!

    Sure *some people* will complain that it's a risk, but hey, it gets you moving forward again and you can close that ticket.

    >It has also, he said, forced engineers to develop tools to automate the kinds of checks previously handled by teams of humans. An engineer might go through an arduous process of checking code once—but then would start building tools to automate that process.

    I suspect they're too dumb to realize this and just tell everyone, "We're saving money and delivering better code using TDD"

  20. Re:This is good on Speed Cameras In Chicago Earn $50M Less Than Expected · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The point of the cameras was revenue, not traffic safety. They've failed at their intended goal, and I don't see evidence for attributing it to traffic safety. The only person who benefited is the vendor.

    And that's before the court challenges. Doesn't "Due Process" ensure that the accused can say, "That's faked, Photoshop. The network and servers are hacked, and PROVE THEY ARE SECURE."

    Ever seen a municipal vendor who could certify under penalty of perjury complete compliance with all applicable law, regulation and policy?
