    SeaPea is an OS X Rootkit that provides stealth and tool launching capabilities. It hides files/directories, socket connections and/or processes. It runs on Mac OSX 10.6 and 10.7.

    Still using a mid-2010 Mac mini (Core 2 Duo) running OS X 10.9 here, I can't imagine anyone still using 10.6 or 10.7 in 2017, except Power PC Macs maybe?

    I thought the BBC was a bit more up-to-date on current technologies. I guess I was terribly wrong.

    If 5000 so-called artists want to save Flash and 500000 programmers want to kill it, Adobe will have to go with the higher number.

  5. Great, now you gave them the idea. It's all your fault now, you know: The Internet Collapse of 2019, The Great Supernet Disruption of 2023 and the Meganet Crash of 2025.

    Nope, it would make those idiots go with this solution: "This website requires OSSFlash fork 42 rev 54 to run properly".

  7. That's not enough. I say we ask for presidential orders – signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters.

    Makes construction and deployment of utiities rather difficult!

    It's not more "difficult" to construct and deploy utilities than in those other places.

    It does make it either non-profitable and/or incredibly expensive, however.

    Do not only fine them, also cut their tax breaks and everything else that's money-related.

    I don't know what kind of cities those people live in, but around here the streets are black and the sidewalks aren't. If that big of a difference doesn't register in your peripheral vision when you're looking down at your phone while walking, I don't know what will.

    It's Dollarama, in Canada.

    I agree, some aisles do stink of offgassing plastic/etc but most of the food comes from Canada, U.S.A., europe, etc. I'd say only about 25~33% of the non-plastic items come from somewhere else than China. But even for the plastic items, a lot come from Canada and the U.S.A.

    A good portion of the U.S. economy -- your paycheck included -- goes to that repressive regime.
