    God you really missed the boat on how to create these jokes? I guess you missed that simpsons episode huh? Well, just FYI: 1. Surf porn on company computer. 2. ??? 3. Profit!

    God, I guess you're one who just follows in line with what the masses do. It wasn't meant to be a joke just an observation on the way that typical thinking will take place if this law gets passed in the EU.

    Everything in life doesn't have to be a joke or relate to the Simpsons...aye carumba.

  6. Mmmmm, radiation is bad, um ok on Chernobyl Becomes Tourist Hot Spot · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Hell, when I was a Navy Nuke working at the GE facility in Ballston Spa, NY we were decommissioning the S3G nuclear reactor and had to work in the reactor compartment daily. Of course we wore dosimeters and watched our daily exposure.

    Routinely we were lazy and didn't want to work a full day so we would stand next to the main coolant pumps (one of the hottest spots for radiation in the compartment) and crank our dosage and be over our daily limit so we wouldn't have to work the rest of the day.

    Now as I write this 10 years later I wonder why we just didn't take off the damn dosimeter and place it and not us next to the damn hot spot!

    I'm kind of afraid now my first kid will have an extra testical and be able to read people's minds.

    Ah, good point.I imagine their customers think "Linux" is some sort of disposable window cleaning towlet that keeps rain off their windshield!

  9. In other news... on AutoZone Responds To SCO · · Score: 5, Funny

    Above and beyond all get experience and know the basics.

    I finally went "professional" with all my computer knowledge in '98. No degree, no certs, just what was in my head from being a computer geek for 15+ years. Started out being an intern (at 29 years old) for a local security consulting firm and from there have rose through the ranks, worked with some of the countries brightest, and am now in a 100+ a year job as a Senior Network Security Engineer. I credit it all to wanting to learn everything, experience, and picking a niche' (security) to focus on and to excel in.

    The above wasn't an ego trip just hopefully a nugget of guidance. :-)

  19. Re:Looks like this is the way it's gonna be... on Secret Repairs Preceded TCP Flaw Release · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think the scary thing is the average shrinking time period between published vulnerability and working published exploit/worm.

    In the past it was well over thirty days, but recently that has dramatically decreased to less than that. With Microsoft's new policy of new patches every thirty days (if there is a need for them) it more than widens that window of oppurtunity for mass system compromising prior to a patch.
