Teamviewer says that there is no breach. That users that were compromised had not secured their remote systems with a password. I'm a teamviewer user, and have not had any of my systems compromised.
It also seems apparent from the Reddit threads, that most of those people just left connections constantly open without even locking the remote system screen.
The southeastern US has all of this abandoned textile infrastructure, which is much easier to retrofit into a datacenter, than it is to build a new one from scratch. That's exactly what Facebook did with their data center in my hometown of Forest City.
I work at a state university in TN. We are having this issue. Administrators are sucking up all the funds, wasting it on crap we don't need (like remodeling the President's office for a 3rd time in the last 10 years), or spending it wastefully ($7500 for software that we can't even fully utilize). Sure it may sound like sour grapes, but IT lives in the basement of the 60 yr old former Admin bldg, with asbestos in the walls, ceilings, and floor tiles. While the administration is paying to have the ground floor, and 2nd floor renovated (asbestos abatement with everyone still in the bldg), the basement, where we the bulk of our enterprise is housed, will not be touched. We don't even have properly functioning generators.
Meanwhile, our football coach just received a 100k salary increase (to almost 700k/yr) for having a 7-5 season in Conf USA. Our President is taking the entire western half of the 2nd floor for a PERSONAL OFFICE SPACE, instead of moving our development staff out of the basement and into a more conventional location. Don't forget that our President has already had his current office re-furb'd, at least twice already with plans for a 3rd...needless to say, it's insanity. People are leaving left and right.
I hate it here...sadly, this is where I chose to go for my BA...over 10 years ago. They're running it into the ground as fast as they can.
Whoopdie doo. I honestly moved to LibreOffice as soon as it forked. True that OO.o has more mindshare, but LibreOffice is better. I simply tell people "they renamed it", lol.
This was a stupid idea anyway. I don't know of any smartphone that doesn't have some sort of Facebook integration. It's just too bad that Samsung wasn't the one making these devices. I'd rather see them lose money than HTC.
First time, they flew me out, rented me a car, interviewed me for over 5 hours. Once I arrived at the HQ on campus at NC State, I wasn't allowed to leave. I wasn't given anything to eat. I was given a bottle of "red hat" water (I took 2 more as I left to get on my return flight). So needless to say, once the HR rep came around (she was the last interviewer) I was pretty tired and pretty snippy because I hadn't eaten anything all day (the person who was going to be my boss was to take me out to lunch, but he didn't. He just left after interviewing me). I didn't make a good impression, and frankly, I'm glad I don't work there.
That was my first experience. The 2nd interview (for a different position) went mildly better, but they hired local, and I was out of state.
I'm sure most people don't care one whit about this, but just figured I'd share my experience.
Thank you! My sentiments exactly. Valve hates the idea of the Windows store with dirt cheap apps, that's ALL it is. Linux doesn't have this, so naturally it's "just better" than Windows 8. Whatever.
If Linux is really better than Windows, for gaming, then they would've had a real Linux client over 5 years ago. I call BS.
Whenever I have to deal with HP or any other company that farms out their support to India, I'll use chat EVERY TIME, because I don't have to constantly ask "I'm sorry, could you repeat that?", or have to spell out almost every word, due to the language barrier (not blaming the people, I know that English is a 2nd, 3rd, 4th language for many people outside of the US).
Sorry that this guy decided to use Slashdot to rant on how he hates Live Chat, but whatever.
So ATi opens up, and the community COMPLETELY failed to deliver a usable solution. WTH should Nvidia care? The FOSS community has already shown that they can't do it. Mod me down if you want, but I speak the truth. We failed.
As long as Nvidia continues to provide a driver that works, and works well (which it does), then I will always use Nvidia cards.
Mark my words, and I can't believe I'm even saying this, but Windows Phone, will soon be considered the best mobile platform, due to it's unification with the desktop, and XBOX. Unfortunately, it won't mean much because people will still want shiny iPhones and will clamor to the numerous free Android phones that they can get.
From a technical standpoint, there is nothing about Android that is good. The reason it is so popular, is because it is cheap and most people can get one. There, I said it./standby to be marked as Troll in 3, 2, 1
just go ahead and rename it "OracleOffice" and just get it over with.
I put LibreOffice on my work laptop months ago, and haven't looked back. Suck it Oracle.
It's scaled down a little bit, and overall, I like it much better.
With that said, let's hope this goes better than Digg v4 did...I'd hate to see/. die a slow death too. Then I'll have nowhere else to troll on the internet. I've been banned from 4chan, and Reddit won't have me. Facebook and MySpace both left me and I burned the bridge with Friendster and Classmates, and Twitter just won't shut up. I don't know what I'd do without you/.
My family still lives in FC, and I will gladly move back there if we can get some more tech in the area. With all of the abandoned textile mills, it would be dirt cheap to raze it and build something new, plus bandwidth is cheap too (and electricity). Plus it is a BEAUTIFUL area, with Lake Lure only 20 minutes west.

If you look at the Reddit posts, about ten were started when TeamViewer went down. Doesn't that say anything to you?
That you don't have to be smart to do IT apparently...

I feel bad for those who switched from Lenovo to Dell after the SuperFish fiasco.
I read this as "SuperFish Taco"...anyone else?

We call Ben Stiller, and he can end the Malaysian Prime Minister's meddling once and for all!
AN...not and. Sorry.
and MS charges you and extra fee, to play a used XBOX One game. So much for the "First Sale" doctrine.

So not only is it the shittiest KDE ever, it's also the FASTEST at being shitty. Well done guys!
Exactly.

Someone needs to put a bullet in the head of GNOME 3. What an abomination it's become...and it sucks too.
seriously, it did.

I mean, they're the ones that pushed it so hard back in the early 2000's. You reap what you sew...right?
shows that we're are also too lazy to shut down our computesr in the event of a botnet attack.
