I've seen more and more malware make it through my spam filters (amavis + spam assassin + clamav). I can tell by looking at it. Occasionally I pull the zips into a VM and look at the fake excel files filled with Javascript.
You can't protect against this kind of stuff as an IT admin, without making e-mail even more unreliable than it actually is (I wrote a post about this last year: http://penguindreams.org/blog/how-google-and-microsoft-made-email-unreliable/).
Sure, you shouldn't let workstations have write access to critical data infrastructure, but how knows how this happened? What if it was opened in user mode, someone called help desk, they remoted in and ran some tools as an admin user and boom, it goes and encrypts their rdesktop shaed volumes and spreads that way.
Even in the summary they state the real number: ~ 5%. This is one of those massive myths that keeps going and going. For the same positions, men and women get paid the same amount.
Women do have trouble with confidence. There's a great Salon article called The Confidence Gap that addresses this. Women have to walk the line between assertive and "bitchy." Oddly enough, women in focus groups are more likely to label an assertive woman as bitchy than men!. A lot of this comes from their own gender!
Women also tend to take jobs that are more fulfilling, even if it's at a lower pay. In some respect I think men could learn a lot from this. That's really the smarter move.
I don't understand why they didn't add $150 to the price tag and include a heat source powered by an Audrino or other micro controller. That would give you consistency. I imagine their testing base of this has to have a huge variety of devices.
But I guess it does help with the "cool" and "marketing" factor...plus being $100 sounds neat. Really the box is probably pennies. The $100 is really for the software and the initial resin. Then they just...keep making money off the resin.
I think the problem this is trying to solve is that mail relays transmit information to both TLS and plain-text SMTP without any verification. I mean, most MTAs will deliver to SMTP servers that have invalid, self-signed and expired certificates. But yes, I don't see how this changes anything unless all MTAs implement it....and we could just do that by turning on strict for TLS (and watch 50%+ of your e-mails no longer get through)
Will this standard allow me to setup my own e-mail server and Google/Microsoft not silently drop all my messages? Because that's the biggest problem with e-mail right now. I wrote a post on it a while ago:
People said the same thing about Linux back in the 90s. BeOS would have made greater inroads had it not been for Microsoft's ISO EULAs preventing manufactures from even offering dual boot Linux/BeOS boxes.
Everything starts somewhere. There are plenty of FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Linux (Ubuntu, Arch, Gentoo, Fedora, etc.) users out there who use those systems as their primary OSes. Some communities are small, but thanks to standardization in C compilers and toolchains, you can run most open source apps wherever.
I just got all the parts to built a desktop mATX rig with dual NVMe SSDs (on on board, the other via PCI-E adapter). I was only going to use it for development anyway, and this would have provided that for about the same price, maybe even a little less, at a much better form factor (I was going to go itx but dual M.2s weren't really available without giving up the only PCI-E slot).
Oh well. Maybe I'll pick one up used after a year when they're down to like $700 loaded.
Um, no. Interfering with signals is dangerous. There are 911 emergency calls. Plus what if a doctor was on board and (I know this is unlikely because of the frequency pagers work at) and it interfered with his pager? What if some of the trains communication equipment operated off cell communication (GPS receivers on buses usually do this). He was irresponsible, plus..he's been busted for this before. He knew what he was doing was wrong and illegal. Also, why take the device out of your pocket? He could have left it in and gone totally unnoticed. He wanted to be seen. He's a dick.
He's been busted before. He had a warning. If he hated the people or noise, could buy headphones, or ear plugs. That's what I do every morning while on the bus or tram. You can get a decent set of headphones + music player for the cost of that jammer.
Part of being on public transport is being exposed to and seeing other people. Rich executives in New York have private limos that take them from their Penthouses to their office via private elevators. They literally go from home to work without interacting with a single person. Even the minimal interaction with people on transit makes a difference in how we approach the world and makes us more tolerant to it.
I like it when the drivers will announce, "Attention everyone. There is another Upfield in the tunnel immediately behind me. It's mostly empty." That usually helps with #4. It only happens when stuff gets horribly backed up though.
For the money he put into that device, he could have just bought a nice set of headphones and a music player. That's what I do. Every morning, weather I catch the tram or bus, I almost always have my headphones in while reading either the news or a book on my phone. It's a great way of tuning out the rest of the world.
Open Stack is complete and total garbage. I worked on for a company with an OS cluster and I was on their security team briefly. I was moved to other projects that had more money coming in. OS had no customers, the few offerings we tried to put on it were constantly crashing out and having reliability issues. For political reasons, we couldn't move that project to its own VMs and the company continued to haemorrhage money on the OpenStack team.
There's no CVE mailing list either. I had to scrape their LaunchPad to get the latest CVEs and put them in our work request system. Sometimes it would be two weeks before Connonical would even create a package for it (we talked about building our own packages.. )
The company I currently work for has an OpenStack cluster with huge reliability problems as well.
That was in that move Paper Planes...in reality, parents would lose their collective shift if a teach went around taking up everyone $200 ~ $500 smartphones.
Although you might be right about age of consent, you're wrong on the child pornography. It's still prosecuted there, even if the pictures are of children 12, 13 14..etc.
It is interesting to note that art depicting sex with minors is legal in Japan and America* (this gets into muddy water in the US since a lot falls under the subjective description of "obscenity", but in general, fiction is usually protected. The court cases vary). Creating or having possession cartoon porn of Simpsons characters will get you thrown in prison in the UK. That's right. You can make content, by yourself, even if you're an adult, that is illegal, in most parts of the world.
We do have an immigration problem: the us won't take care of all the undocumented immigrants we force into the us after we star wars in their counties and then with guns while taking their drugs.
They don't want to be here either. They want to be at home, and not living next to racist shitheads like you. You know how the US can keep them from coming here? The government can stop supporting terrorism!
Um, how? They actually had a debate, and a vote where it was supported by greens and independents. In the US, we wouldn't even have the debate. We don't even have parties! (Don't fool yourself into thinking we have two. We have one: the demopublicans and the republicrats).
They also have order of preference voting with instant runoff (you literally cannot throw a voat away) and mandatory voting (punishable by fine..that's occasionally enforced).
Also all their major cities have train networks (Darwin, doesn't count..same with ACT) that make America's look like a joke (sans Chicago, NYC and DC). Melbourne has the largest tram system in the world. Cincinnati struggled to get a 4k loop because America's fear of rail+ idiot councilmen.
Get off your "America is better" horse shit and go travel for a bit. You'll be surprised by what you find.
Do you like Google and the Open Handset Alliance (that requires lockin to Google Services; that's why HTC/Samsung/etc can't make Amazon/Android devices ever)?
Microsoft has open sourced way more stuff than Google lately. Cyanogen is trying to get away from the Google eco-system. I suspect this is going to be part of that.
It amazes me that most American still believe their government's official story of 9/11. Elsewhere in the world, people generally accepted the US government blew up their own buildings.
Wait, I thought this was already implemented in Formula 1 cars? They don't have cams at all. They use pneumatic air injection and get up to 22,000 rpm....or at least they did before they switched to smaller engines and turbo chargers.

Good victim blaming there.

Fuck Open Stack.
Also, fuck Docker in production.
That was in that move Paper Planes ...in reality, parents would lose their collective shift if a teach went around taking up everyone $200 ~ $500 smartphones.
So...this is for kids too stupid to use a tiny piece of paper and a 0.5m mechanical pencil? Cause that solution costs $5 and has worked for decades.

Australia's sex offender registry is protected information. It's not public and can only be used by certain agencies for very specific purposes.
That's what I thought when I experienced this, but they do request A LOT of Captchas...like every few pages. I'm more willing to bet it's intentional.
Yep I noticed that as well. I thought it just had to do with so many bots or spam scripts utilizing Tor.
We do have an immigration problem: the us won't take care of all the undocumented immigrants we force into the us after we star wars in their counties and then with guns while taking their drugs.

I was thinking this was another push to get off of GPLv3 code (like clang vs gcc), but it looks like glibc is LGPL.
