  1. Re:Dragonblood? on Dragonblood Vulnerabilities Disclosed in Wi-Fi WPA3 Standard (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    It's almost as if it's a play on the Dragonfly Key Exchange name that's being targetted.

    Is 27 percent a lot to drive? Did they try the Ubers?

  6. Re: number of beauhd backdoor astroglide entries on Cisco Removed Its Seventh Backdoor Account This Year, and That's a Good Thing (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Okay, so you posted totally hip ASCII art of Trump's stupid fucking face, so what's your point exactly?

  7. Re:How many use Bixby? on Samsung Opens Its Voice Assistant Bixby To Developers as It Pursues Alexa and Siri · · Score: 1

    I regularly use Bixby to update and synchronize my HOSTS files across devices, with updates prioritized by the tone and vocal level of my screaming.

  8. Who is the legend responsible for naming it Bixby? on Samsung Opens Its Voice Assistant Bixby To Developers as It Pursues Alexa and Siri · · Score: 1

    "Bixby" makes me remember Bill Bixby, and when I remember Bill Bixby, I remember that poor Bill Bixby died of asshole cancer, which seems to be a terrible thing to name your voice assistant.

  9. Re:Sensationalist much? on Sonic and Ultrasonic Attacks Damage Hard Drives and Crash OSes (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    If you can get close enough to a DVR to disconnect it, why not just pull the plug?

    I don't have to get close enough to the DVR to disconnect it - I just need to get a speaker snuck in there.

    ...or get remote access to a PC in the same room as the DVR. ...or get the security intern to install my sweet whoopee cushion app.

  10. I'm no internet genius, but I'm wagering it's some sort of database that contains the names of high rollers who frequent the casino, along with their details. You might want to do some sleuthing on the dank webs to confirm.

  11. Re:And Texas? on Update: Possible Active Shooter Reported at YouTube HQ (theverge.com) · · Score: 0, Troll
    What statistics are you citing?

    And you're aware that NRA $$$ in 1996 bought the Dickey Amendment which prevents the CDC from studying gun violence, right?

    So again, what statistics are you citing?

  12. Re:As long as companies... on Update: Possible Active Shooter Reported at YouTube HQ (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Right -- You can't trust a fellow employee to remember their own user name, or small basics like not stuffing paper towels down a toilet, so it totally makes sense that you see no problem with having every untrained, undocumented idiot brandish a firearm in the cubicle next to you.

  13. Re:Good IT work on GOP Memo Criticizing FBI Surveillance is Released (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    So it's your genius opinion that when the DNC hired on FusionGPS, FusionGPS didn't use their previous work product as a starting place? It's your genius opinion that FusionGPS started their research on Trump from scratch?

  14. Re:Christopher Steele got info from the Russians? on GOP Memo Criticizing FBI Surveillance is Released (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Convenient how you ignore that the reason Fusion GPS hired Christopher Steele was so that he could followup on the information they had discovered about Trump when Fusion GPS was working on behalf of their Republican client.
    Their previous work for the Republicans identified Russian connections, and so they hired a specialist on Russia to follow those leads. Without the previous work performed for their Republican client, they would have had no reason to hire on Steele as a contractor in the first place.
    The statement "the Republicans first paid Fusion to get the info" is not a lie; the problem is that you're not very intelligent.

  15. Not if you use a HOSTS file. on OnePlus Is Again Sending User Data To a Chinese Company Without User Consent (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    I r00ted my OnePlus and installed hosts.apk and now China doesn't know nothing.

  16. Mother's maiden name? on 300,000 Users Exposed In Ancestry.com Data Leak (threatpost.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The company said RootsWeb doesn't host sensitive information such as credit card data or social security numbers.

    Yeah, nothing sensitive and unchangeable such as a giant database of everyone's mother's maiden name, which is never ever used to "protect" access to credit card data.

    No competent mariner/boater would make a distress call via a cell phone

    They would if that's the only means of communication they had left, genius. The fact that they're instituting this in the first place is proof that they receive legitimate calls via cell phone.

  20. Re: Holy Blinking Cursor, Batman! on Blinking Cursor Devours CPU Cycles in Visual Studio Code Editor (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    God, I bet the nickname your subordinates have for you is fucking priceless.

  21. Yeah... because the guy setting up that system wouldn't be able to hide anything he wants outside of the system on those servers. You know, like hiding a backdoor, I mean it's not like he was the ADMINISTRATOR, and had full unlimited access to the servers for a long time or anything....

    You can make all the damn rules and regulations you want, but in the end you are bound to having to trust the people who have full access to the systems to implement those rules properly. There will always be someone somewhere in the setup chain that will not be bound to those rules yet, as the settings and rules won't exist on the servers yet.

    Oh noes! He was the ADMINISTRATOR? In ALL CAPS? It's almost as if after the shitbird was shitcanned, the OTHER ALL CAPS ADMINISTRATORS should have been auditing service accounts and user accounts. These were deeply hidden "backdoors".

    Uh, just say "Sorry, I can't disclose that as per the terms of an NDA with my current employer"?

  24. Re:Confucious say on China Says It Will Return the Underwater Drone It Seized From the US (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    The incoming president(Trump) is likely not going to take this, neither are those he's putting into cabinet positions. Which is why they're pulling this now, they know they can get away with it.

    Hey genius, I guess you didn't realize that tough guy Trump's response to this incident was “We should tell China that we don’t want the drone they stole back.- let them keep it!”. Yup, you sure do have your finger on the pulse - Trump is totally "not going to take this" at all, you fucking imbecile.

  25. if an email doesn't get through to the inbox, we want the original sender to know their email didn't get through, rather than just languishing unread in a junk mail box.

    Dear fucking idiot,
    Notifying spammers that their spam was not delivered is fucking idiotic.

    Everyone sick of cleaning up after idiot IT admins.
