  1. Not a good Neighbour on Soon You'll Be Able To Build Your Own 4G Network Over Wi-Fi Frequencies (hpe.com) · · Score: 1

    How can a protocol designed for exclusive use of spectrum follow the rules of 5Ghz? That fucks over both the LTE and WiFi since it's a shared spectrum. Nobody needs scalability in their homes. This is a very dumb idea.

  2. Re: I thought it just resolved the domain name? on Attackers DDoS WannaCry Kill Switch (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    If the name servers go off line, won't they eventually expire out of DNS servers and accomplish the same thing of unregistered?

  3. Years ago, hackers leveraged Google alerts to find JBOSS servers on the Internet so they could be hacked. Hard to detect these things.

  4. Re: This is windows calling... on New SMB Worm Uses Seven NSA Hacking Tools. WannaCry Used Just Two (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Isn't paying for another license the solution? Or different windows enterprise version?

  5. He just needs a Snickers.

    BlackBerry announced partnerships in fuzz testing years before I ever heard of Google doing it. Not saying who was first, but likely.

    Wait, what? In what fucking universe is Linux security updated more than 10 years? That is only a recent change for distros like RH and I'm not aware of any over 10 years right now. When a distro changes support, the repos are never updated and so you must hunt down new/old repos for said updates. Then there's a shit ton of incorrect documentation that is out of date. It was all about needing to do new clean install to a currently supported release.

  8. Re: The U.S. should take a little blame... on Chinese State Media Says US Should Take Some Blame For Cyberattack (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Yep, that's why we always hear "free USA" and not "free Tibet" , right?

    Fuckface, Most of us have multiple computers, family and friends. Solutions for loners is not applicable to everyone. Stop spamming.

    This is solved with proper firewalling. I would assume the people who put up the firewalls do not consider this exploit to be the end of the world. So when deciding on whether to use or close the exploit, it's pretty fucking clear.

  11. Re: We pirates must unite on Popular Torrent Site ExtraTorrent Permanently Shuts Down (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Your argument is flawed. Instead, it should be a musician in a bar, charging cover to enter the bar to listen to said music and you never paid the ticket price. You walked into the bar without paying, and you'll get kicked out as you never had permission to enter and listen. Musicians buying studio time to create content are not fucking charities.

    No, it isn't. Don't be so obtuse.

  13. It's called copyright because they own the rights to copy it, not you. You stole the ability to control the copy process without permission, which cannot be undone. Stop thinking you're not stealing because the original is still physically there, you stole the owner's right to make that copy. I grew up where theft is simply taking something that doesn't belong to you without permission. Changing that to only mean physical items means you were raised by shitty parents.

  14. Re: Another victim of terrible leftist laws on Popular Torrent Site ExtraTorrent Permanently Shuts Down (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't think that word means what you think it means.

    Doubt it. Kat made millions and was smaller. Extra has had malware infested ads for years. I highly doubt they weren't getting a cut of that.

  16. Re: More PCI-E then intel! it makes Kaby Lake-X jo on AMD Unveils 'EPYC' Server CPUs, Ryzen Mobile, Threadripper CPU and Radeon Vega Frontier Edition GPU (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Please proofread and learn proper usage of "an". Your posts hurt to read.

    He said the last Indiana Jones movie was so bad, Harrison Ford is getting raped in the next one.

    Yes, because browsers just display HTML code and not render it. Oh wait....

    1. That is some bad fucking math. You should not be in charge of purchasing anything more than gum. 2. Why are Airlines handling your laptops? These are business people? Jesus, they are shitty, too. They should be carrying them on, for many reasons.

    That was proven false. The excuse was that it would use too much power, which someone suggested was false as well.
