    when you get guys who claim to be CCNAs but don't know what traceroute does, there's a problem.

    This describes about 99% of employed Network/Sys admins in the USA. I work at an enterprise/software as a service helpdesk, I fix the servers when shit goes to hell. When I have to rely on one of these retards onsite there to actually do something it is the most painful thing ever... it is seriously like guiding a 3 year old child. I do not know how these people get employed.

    Wrong again, Zero-day refers to the amount of time that the bug/vulnerability has been disclosed to the public, not patch. It is still possible to secure your system with just the knowledge of how the attack is reaching you.

    He was the "Chief Information Security Officer" who was he going to get approval from? Sounds like it's already his job to make the decision regarding the release of information, and this is just a pissy Governor who doesn't know fuck all about what's going on.

  20. Re:Informative? on Mac OS X 10.6.2 Will Block Atom Processors · · Score: 1

    I had two slices of pizza for breakfast, while I ran apt-get upgrade on my Ubuntu install.
    Apple lost it's appeal when it dropped RISC architecture, the last time I actively used one I believe it was OS7, and you had to install "Colour" as a feature.
    Now it's just the same shit that I could get from any brand name computer manufacturer, only with Apple polish, and assrape for a pricetag. Since I've never trusted a brand name manufacturer to make a decent system, as they all love to cut corners and fuck their customers out of decent working hardware, and then refuse to support it, for extremely stupid reasons: such as Dell will ship you a 64bit system w/ 64bit Windows, but they'll only support the system if it's running a 32bit operating system.

    We had a Gold Tier Dell support package and bought all our systems from them at the last place I worked(I wasn't the decider just the peon in charge of fixing the endless problems we had with their machines), and they outright refused to assist us with any system that was running the 64bit OS they shipped it with.

  21. Re:Programming != Engineering... on 14-Year-Old Wins International Programming Contest · · Score: 1

    Stop programming with libraries...
    Try writing some code with direct interfaces to the hardware.
    The true programmer understands the how and why of their computers, the libraries that you use prevents you from knowing this, and make you no better than a script kiddy.

    We want it to work, by the standards set before you. (see HTML, XHTML, etcetera) Internet Explorer has not been able to "explore" the web properly for countless years.

    I think they should install no browser at all and let the user figure out how to FTP into something via windows powershell to get a browser. lol

    This is a great idea aswell, this would atleast make sure that people like the parent poster, can't do anymore harm on the internet.
