Re: It's a good job this Kasperksy guy seems a good egg.

Kaspersky are a pretty late player which makes it all the more impressive they broke into the AV market so effectively.

As AV goes, Kaspersky is pretty good but I've no idea what their relation with the Kremlin (if any) is.

Re: Easy to mitigate

Especially Flash. No need for it and a quick read of CVE details on the tech makes for chilling reading.

Re: Ground rules

"Give the new Doctor some decent scripts and storylines."

That's all that really matters. It's been bloody woeful of late. Terrance Dicks is alive and kicking, we should be paying him big bucks to come back and make everything OK.

This is the responsible thing to do, there should always be someone ready to take over at a moment's notice. What would happen if Linus or a similar person got knocked down by a bus?

PARTY!

Re: I think I've found the problem

I've said it before elsewhere but it got rejected. The trick is not to fly BA. Certainly not transatlantic. Rude cabin crew, no space. Horrible.

Re: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"

That was an extremely stupid response. Thank you.

Re: Linus exhibits all the qualities of pure sociopath

Well yeah, OK. But having worked on FreeBSD (and yes I know we're not comparing like with like) there are open source projects with far greater potential and merit. Linus is not the begin and end of the open source movement. He is often rude, unprofessional and rapidly becoming surplus to requirements.

Re: The ironic thing

Very true. I've had nothing but good experiences with Uber drivers - seems to be some issues at the top mind.

Re: Nuke the site from orbit

The problem with me and film quotes is I always bugger them up.

Re: all large internet companies need to at least be seen to do more

Interesting paradox. If there isn't already a name for it I propose the 'Nimby Perplexity'

Re: "No one should think that cyber crime is victimless"

That's a good analogy. In fact it makes the point perfectly.

Re: Things fade

Curved edges will herp there.

RE: British prime minister slams Facebook and pals for votes

"Terrorists are generally locals who have become very disaffected with the way their lives are not panning out as they would like. The cause they espouse is almost irrelevant. They will be open to any political ideology that appears to promise to give them meaning and control."

Who just happen to be Muslim? Plenty of unhappy people in Britain but they don't go around killing kids.

How many smart phones are on a network without wifi?

Re: tee hee

The FBI were about to subpoena Trump's tax returns that's why he was fired.
