I was hoping it was a momentary flash in the pan that outlived it's buzz about a month ago. Does anyone out of junior high school play pokeman?
Anyway, sign me up for another 2 million years of life! Sure beats drinking synthetic blood and sleeping all day....
Relatively new Fastmail user here as well. When Verizon started sniffing around Yahoo, I took the opportunity to find an alternative email service. I'm paying $70 for 2 years and don't have 1 complaint.
Even though it sucks, I almost get removing the jack from phones as you're trying to save every spare mm. But a laptop? Surely that tiny jack isn't taking up too much precious space.
Telecommuter here as well and it is so, so worth it. With mostly everyone and their grandmother having a decent Internet connection, it doesn't make sense to have to sit in hours of traffic just to get to work. Granted, some places need a warm body on site, but if you can telecommute even for a few days, I highly recommend it. If you want to sit at home and fuck off all day, telecommuting is not for you. If you have a shred of self-discipline (as mentioned above), you can definitely be successful at it.
During the last few years I've regained my sanity and have become a more productive worker due to not having to put up with the distractions of sitting in a 'normal' workspace. Not to mention the hours saved sitting in traffic and the flexibility to pick up the kids, run errands, etc..
I was looking forward to the story but when I saw things like smiley faces and the current mood=devious junk, I'm doubting this cat was really a spook. No way would someone put that kind of gibberish in a presentation unless, of course, it was presented to his office buddies who probably got a kick out of it. No way a 4-star would be looking at some hand-scribbled, 2nd grade inspired drawing.
I'm sure CR makes a ton of money from reviewing dishwashers and lawn mowers for the old folks crowd. The grandma in Iowa doesn't care about video cards and nor does the majority of the public.
Now if Nvidia would quit it with their paper launch and actually supply these new cards I'd love to buy one!
What a piece of work that guy is. Hopefully he ends up in prison for larceny.
As a Craigslist seller, it's a real pain to sift through the real potential buyers and scumbags like this. You can kind of smell the scammers a mile away, but I can see how not-so-educated people (in the Internet sense) could fall for their tricks.
He actually thought Valve would give him a job after this stunt. He was on a call with them while they traced his location. What a winner! The German officials said he was lucky he didn't actually go to the US for a job interview as his sentence could have (would have?) been much much worse.
So it's a privilege escalator not necessarily an exploit to initially get into a host. For a 'real' Windows exploit, 90K is super-duper cheap, but for something like this 90K may be a tad overpriced for what you get.
I agree, 2-3 hours is beyond ridiculous. It's gotten to the point where I have to leave the house 4 hours before my flight, throw in a 45 minute ride to the airport, hop on the shuttle and get to the gate with 3 hours to go. It's a huge time waster. I miss the days of walking right up to the terminal.
That happened to me at BWI a few months ago. The line was super long, stretching down a long hallway. As I got closer to the front, the TSA folks were randomly pulling people through the fast checkout line. I got selected and rolled through without taking my shoes or belt off. From that day forward, I bought the precheck. Yeah, I know I'm a sucker, but the convenience and time saved is well worth 85$ every 5 years.
I took the family to see the movie and it was entertaining. Every time I saw the commercial, I kept thinking they needed to have this movie come out 3-4 years ago when the Angry Birds craze was at its zenith. If the movie would have come out then, they would have made a ton (more) money. I guess since it's been in the works for 4 years it was way too far done to cancel it.
Wait until someone sends you a MS Office created PowerPoint document. I've been down that road and the OpenOffice (I know not LibreOffice as you said) formatting was all jacked up. I gave up on *nix related office suites soon after.
Yep. The whole smartwatch thing is a solution for a problem that not many people have. I had an early version of the Gear2 and it was ok. Once the novelty wore off (after about 2 weeks), I took it off and haven't worn it since. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not a huge watch wearer anyway. Couple that with the daily charging requirements and you need to have the phone in your pocket to use the calling/email features, it's a bit of a pain.
I wonder if aspiring developers are using out of date tutorials to write their code. The ones with zero input sanitization. You're right, though, there isn't really any excuse to not use stored procedures these days.
Actually, scratch that. I hope to see the same shitty code so I can keep my App Pentesting day job.:)
How about a commute that's easily over 1.5 hours each way every day? Sitting still on highway 95 at 4:00 in the afternoon is about as far away from a brain clearing exercise as I can imagine. There's nothing better I'd rather do than literally waste 3+ hours a day with the other worker bees.
That's how I do it. I've clipped almost 10 years off of my resume to get around perceived ageism. I still have a decent amount of work experience without those couple of crappy SA jobs, so it's all good.

I wonder how they use that much data on a cellphone. The only way I can think if it's a hot-spot and they are torrenting 24.7.

While it's good that Google rewards people who help make Chrome and the web more secure, $3,000 sounds not enough for such a critical bug.
3K is super low for a finding like this. He could have taken it to other well heeled folks and made 30x this amount.
Agreed. I'm surprised this case was 1) taken by any lawyer and 2) not laughed out of court.
shift is for noobs
How did you get the exclamation point?

Who gives a fuck about the character limit on Twitter? Is it really that slow of a news day?
Apparently the site used a super vulnerable version of IP.Board. Riddled with critical security flaws was the term used.

Yeah no kidding. A game isn't historically 100% correct! Who would have thought that?

Have you missed how we can build a 30 minute airtime drone with 300$ of parts from Amazon? With an HD camera on board?
I must have missed it. As a beginner quad aviator, do you have any more information on this $300 super drone?
