  1. Re:Monster cable on Ask Slashdot: What Can You Do With Old Coaxial Cable? · · Score: 1

    Nothing quite like the sound of properly cured and aged cable. Makes the tone warmer, the highs less harsh, and the bullshit greater compared to the fresh stuff that hasn't been properly cured yet.

  5. MS can fix this easily on Drive-By Exploits Pushing Ransomware Now Able To Bypass Microsoft EMET (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Microsoft has lots of money. Why don't they just actively buy these exploits as they hit the market (through an 'agent' if they must), reverse engineer them, update EMET & issue a patch that closes the flaw, and move on, long before anyone is hacked ???

    Sell the pennies to the government for $10 apiece.
