Right first time. Although gods know, I'd have had an even stronger visceral reaction if it had been Computer Associates who had taken over Open Office. But I DO have to agree with the AC, I have no idea how this got to be "interesting"; I was just being mildly smart-assed.
I pretty much went with Libre the day after it came out, because seeing the Oracle logo on the OpenOffice splash screen gave me a full-body shiver every time I opened it.
I'm with you. This should have been done years ago. Sometimes I can't sleep at night, knowing that something or someone is wrong or incorrect on the Internet.
Requirements?? Requirements???? I'm the type of coder who goes from grunts and hand gestures to hacking something together.
But then, what I'm doing isn't (literally) rocket science. I don't think many people (even Slashdotters) appreciate just how much engineering forethought goes into the simplest and most trivial things NASA does every day.
No. A ping request only requires the server you're attacking to send a small packet back. For a DoS attack, you want to make the victim send a lot of bytes back to you, so a small script that repeatedly asks for a whole page, especially images, is the better way to go.
What are you talking about? I always do my DDos attacks by repeatedly clicking the "reload" button on my browser. You never know when those GIFs in the browser cache are going to change.
I've seen a couple of posts to this effect from you in this thread. My question to you is: can you actually control the MRI/X-ray machines from anywhere but the console/operator's station, or is the Ethernet connection simply to transfer data files from the machine once they're taken? My money's on the latter. I think the notion of somebody remotely (and accidentally) doing any damage is a red herring.
Meaning that you're from the only kind of IT department in the world that allows any clueless asshole (students) to connect to your network. Meanwhile this guy works at a hospital where stuff like HIPPA means that if IT policies aren't carried out properly, IT people lose their jobs.
Asking what port 8443 is for wasn't a stupid question - if it's not in/etc/services, it's not a standard port number. As for giving him an account, look up "chroot jail". Problem solved.
George W. who? Name recognition is half the battle in politics. For better or worse, Jesse Jackson Jr. has it. And also like George W, don't expect anything any smarter from him than you got from his old man.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a wookie from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about that; that does not make sense!
...
Why would a wookie, an 8 foot tall wookie, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two foot tall ewoks? That does not make sense! But more importantly, you have to ask yourself, âwhat does that have to do with this case?' Nothing. Ladies and Gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case. It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.
That's exactly the kind of sloppy thinking that had us "remediating" software for three years prior to Y2K. Where, in your grand scheme of things, are the values for (as examples): Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga and Richard Simmons? Please, won't somebody think of the mutants?
Graphite is essentially a series of interlocked benzene rings
No. Adjacent or contiguous, yes. Interlocked, no. Three molecules of each benzene ring are shared with another ring(s).
Also, no one seems to have mentioned that DNA molecules are (IIRC) something like a meter long when stretched out, so it's going to be a hard-to-see, ill-fitting wedding ring at that.
It was the Equire article that took blueboxing mainstream, I remember reading it when it came out, and there had been no public hint of the blueboxing underground before that. Made Captain Crunch a cult hero overnight.
While it IS an interesting point that Jobs & Wozniak got their start making/using blueboxes (which was sort of similar to jailbreaking Ma Bell - except it really WAS out-and-out theft), it's a step too far to say that Apple is trying to jail (or even more ludicrously, torture) people trying to jailbreak their phones. Suffice it to say that the Apple walled garden has concertina wire on top (which we all knew already) and leave it at that.

Parent link really is worth the trouble to follow.
No, no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable cat, the Norwegian Blue.
Yes. Yes, of course there is. Unfortunately, there is no law of physics limiting the scope of journalistic hyperbole.

Hahahaha you must work in marketing. Ask Vanna if you can buy a clue.

Can I plug my packet sniffer box onto your network?
Idiot.

Any similarity to any other flim-flammers, demagogues or rabble-rousers, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

It's not the number of pixels, it's how you use them.

I'm not going to worry about the tinfoil hat aspects of it. Microsoft's record of listening to anyone is pretty dismal.
So you're saying the Chinese are accusing the U.S. government of preaching one thing and doing another? That's ... inconceivable!!
In America, Cosmonautics Day celebrates YOU!
Cheers!
