    TFA article lists "RavMonD" and "zhudongfangyu" as processes the worm tries to stop, not as passwords it attempts.

    Terminates processes
    Morto.A terminates processes that contain the following strings. The selected strings indicate that the worm is attempting to stop processes related to popular security-related applications.

  2. TU on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot · · Score: 1

    Thank you, Rob. That is all, sir.

  3. Apple did end up on top today on Wall Street: Software More Valuable Than Oil · · Score: 2

    Market essentially washed away what it gained back yesterday, and Apple did end up on top today, FWIW.

    "Apple Overtakes Exxon to Become Most Valuable"

  4. Re:Retaliation on S&P's $2 Trillion Math Mistake · · Score: 1

    You might want to check up on some of the interviews the S&P highers-up have been giving since the downgrade. While the statement that S&P released with the downgrade gave lip service to the idea of raising revenues as well as cutting spending, the S&P biggies themselves have spent 'way more time talking about cutting spending than raising revenues.

  5. Re:S&P has zero credibility on United States Loses S&P AAA Credit Rating · · Score: 1

    Paul Krugman, the man who says that something is bad economic policy when a Republican is President and good economic policy when a Democrat is President.

    If you truly believe that, you haven't been listening to Krugman much at all lately. He has been kicking Obama's ass left and right for things he's doing and, more often, things he's not doing.

  6. Re:Do not care on Followup: Anti-Global Warming Story Itself Flawed · · Score: 1

    See, this is why they can't pass the debt ceiling change. The Tea Partiers are too busy fooling around on /. I keed, I keed.

    Correct. Google's info about this: link.

  8. Re:QR Codes, too on Spammers Establish Fake URL-Shortening Services · · Score: 1

    As I said, an in-house approach is best IMHO. That's what I set up for my employer for precisely the reasons you apparently have in mind.

  9. QR Codes, too on Spammers Establish Fake URL-Shortening Services · · Score: 1

    For those not crazy about URL shorteners: it's worth remembering that those whose jobs require creation of QR Codes for insertion in documentation and signage sometimes have to shorten URLs for these Codes. An in-house approach to this is best, IMHO, but YMMV.

  13. Re:John C Dvorak on Gmail Accidentally Resets 150,000 Accounts · · Score: 2

    Notorious cloud-hater, John C Dvorak, is waking up with a smug grin on his face, this morning.

    And why should this morning be any different than any other?

  14. Re:Help me out here on Scientists Cleared of Misusing Global Warming Data · · Score: 1

    It was Grissom, not Schirra, who died with White and Chaffee in the Apollo 1 fire. Schirra commanded Apollo 7, the first manned mission with the Apollo command module redesign that resulted from the fire.

  15. Re:Spoiler Alert on Watch IBM's Watson On Jeopardy Tonight · · Score: 1

    Watson won...easily.

    Not a shock, really, but I'll still watch just to see how it went. Truly more interested in how the humans (including Trebek) deal with it than I am in Watson, which I expected to blow the doors off its competitors.

  17. Re:Ruling doesn't affect Internet blocking on Feds Settle Case of Woman Fired Over Facebook Posts · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The way I heard it during the 1960s was that some guy ran into Red Square yelling, "Khrushchev is a fool!" and ended up going to prison for 30 years -- five years for publicly insulting the Premier and 25 years for revealing a state secret.

    One might guess similar jokes have circulated concerning other dictatorships over the years.

    Obligatory My Cousin Vinny quotes from IMDB:

    [Vinny is the lawyer, but Stan thinks he is there to sodomize him]
    Vinny Gambini: Look, it's either me or them. You're gettin' fucked one way or the other.
    [Stan tries to get up]
    Vinny Gambini: Hey, relax, I'm gonna help you.
    Stan: Gee thanks.
    Vinny Gambini: Excuse me, I think a modicum of gratitude would not be out of line here.
    Stan: You think I should be grateful?
    Vinny Gambini: Yeah, it's your ass, not mine. I think you should be grateful. I think you should be down on your fuckin' knees.
    Stan: I didn't know it was such an honor to get a visit from you.
    Vinny Gambini: I'm doing a favor, you know. You're gettin' me for nothing, you little fuck!
    Stan: That's one hell of an ego you got.
    Vinny Gambini: What the fuck is your problem? I did not come down here just to get jerked off.
    Stan: I'm not jerking you off. I'm not doing anything.
    Vinny Gambini: That's it. You're on your own. I'll just take care of Sleeping Beauty.

    Apollo 12 was hit by lightning shortly after launch, causing quite a bit of concern for a few minutes (including a temporary drop-out of numerous onboard systems and instruments), but otherwise had a normal and highly successful lunar landing mission.
