surely even in western culture its rude to meet people with hand(s) in pocket , even if its not shaky time.
What is he a fking schollkid?? did he even bother putting a tie on?
I like the Formula idea - you use the same password but it changes in some way depending on the URL or name of the site
dunce
what? um... I dont get it.
why dont the Indie just put some words and pictures online if thats what they want.
I could see the point of an app that will scan *any* printed page and then go online and find related content, but this dosent seem to be it.
rely on users?
"...successful attacks can be prevented by simple best practice, such as ensuring staff do not open suspicious-looking emails..."
So basicly put the security of the company in the hands of the users?????
If the threat has got to the users desktop and is relying ion their common sense - you're screwed.
Your only (slim) chance in that system would be make sure every user knows that if they trigger a breach, it would be instant no questions asked dismissal.
Re: Good! @daggersedge
Stan: I want to have babies.
Reg: You want to have babies?!?!
Stan: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
Reg: But ... you can't HAVE babies!
Stan: Don't you oppress me!
Reg: I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus gonna gestate? You gonna keep it in a box?
Re: Good!
"You very clearly are not."
Well after trawling through dagger's past posts like a deranged stalker I can confirm She is , in fact, a woman.
Or damn serious about maintaining the illusion
Blood suckers
As usual the only winners are the blood sucking lawyers.
They should be on a set wage - that of an admin clark.
How the F**k does it cost £1000 (and about 2 months) to change ownership of a house?
Licence to print money......
And most of thems job is aid and abet crimnals!! yet somehow this is a lauded professor.
Re: Not the ending I'd expected
"the way in which "new technology" was being introduced"
in other words "the end of our racketeering"

"who does the jobs nobody wants to do?"
The machines! you're all not seeing the big picture and think its an excuse for scroungers
i did this
just yesterday i developed a scheduled task that runs through all our NHS users (about 600) and checks they are in the right groups , and locations and stuff in AD.
Do i get a hack badge?
14m in 8 years?
whats the big deal? that could come out of the petty cash!
utopia
I guess the important thing is that the work gets done, not that we are all doing work. Once the robot designing making and repairing robots arrive , providing they dont exterminate us , we can all have the rest of our lives off.
I've often wondered how with the automation and machinery we've got working for us today , we still manage to find trivial crap to fill a working day up with. We should all be on half day by now!
bad example
Its not immediately obvious how "desktop computing killed off the office typing pool" . Things still need to be typed.
Next time you are sick of grinding on Azeroth , get a life
OS
Blimey do OS know??
They are gonna be pissed! imagijne the sales slump!
"We haven't seen this complaint."
A spokesman said: "We haven't seen this complaint."
Well that really got their attention!
They cant even tell if they're being sued.
This is probly having the impact of a flea biting a dog
Holy crap look at the solar activity overhead at that location!
Re: Knew It Was Coming
"A) It was assumed that technology to interfere/control civilian aircraft systems could not be obtained by civilians."
what? a smartphone?
Captain crunch interfered with the Telephone system by whistling at it!
Bay not Pirate
Dear Sir,
Your constant metaphors comparing the The Pirate Bay to some kind of pirate ship do not bear close examination. The copyright hoodlums have named their outfit a BAY - a place for pirates to convene. Hence "dropping anchor" and "firing broadsides" are incorrect similies.
I shall be writing to my MP

Hey I learned something today :)
Re: more info please
hey thanks for the info D
Seems very exploitative with the seasonal workers. Hopefully no ones lives were ruined if it was only a 5 or 6 week contract anyway
word will get around for next year .......
more info please
So the obvious question that would put this whole thing in context and tell us wether its a storm in a teacup or a human rights abuse (whose right in other words) is

Funny to think of the people using Cray computers as "users"
Re: Ponzi Scheme
"Any system that requires unbounded growth to work is a Ponzi scheme in sheep's clothing"
Love it. Never a truer word said and encompasses all that is wrong with the world
Re: Student Grant
"his was done partly to stop people opting for frivolous degrees"
They should have only stopped the grant for the frivolous degrees then!
"It showed that you had the power to think, reason, present an argument eloquently. "
" The subject matter was there just to keep you interested while you learnt those skills."
TRUE but this is whats wrong the system. You should have demonstrated those abilities before Uni to earn the Uni place . THEN at the last stage where the in depth stuff is - Learn something useful and relevent.
more fool me for thinking engineering would be difficult, useful and appreciated - I could have been navel gazing instead
Re: Douglas Adams
Yeah - I wonder what all those Politician's degrees are in?
Just in case its relevent to their job (and to avoid gaining any expertise in their field) they have a cabinet "Re-Shuffle" periodically just make sure everyone is new, inexperienced and floundering.
subject
I made the mistake of thinking that it mattered what subject you studied , rather than how high you score in it.
"It sounds like a flock of blowflies"
Only in aus would you "hear" a flock of flies .
Perpetual motion?
" completely autonomous by extracting power from the hydrogen and oxygen in the water that surrounds it"
Well if thats possible, why the hell arent we doing that for all our power needs?

"Just tell people you're a "manager".........
F***king brilliant
whats big?
Can someone tell me what big data is?
I'm guessing its when you got a Oracle or SQL database(s) of a sizeable size, requiring a room full of servers maybe. or taking x amount quereis per minute?
Where's the line?
OUCH - beaten to it by the Daily mail

why?
Off the top of my head i cant see why any of this is required, and I have one of these things.
All I want mine to do is cover the floor area and sweep up anything it can fit down. except my stash.
obstacle = move round it, dosent matter what it is.
"Firms no longer seem to be able to categorise data into separate "keep" and "delete" piles."
Aint that the truth, it seems in the future a biger and bigger percentage of stored data will be
1) "stuff we dont know if we need"
2) "stuff we couldnt be bothered going through"
3) duplicates of 1) & 2)

Re: I smell a business opportunity!
I wouldnt mind a miniscule share of the countless billions travelling through that place.
either that or see them all first against the wall when the revolution comes.

just wtf
Very clever of The Reg to implement the WTF icon years before this story
Re: Windows only malware ...
the nature of security hole exploitation makes it difficult to cross platform.
whats your point?
Less software is avalable generally for Linux & mac. I'm sure if you shop around you can find some nice alternative trojans though.

"Playing games on a PC - How quaint"
Well its the only way you can properly play a first person shooter.
Anyone playing COD or whatever on a console is simlpy not doing it right. I dont care how good you are with a controller , or how level the playing field is, you are basically running around with your hands and shoelaces tied.

Luddites
"Ten million, give or take, drivers will then lose their jobs in the USA and another five million enter unemployment in Europe. Still a good thing?"
What kind of Luddite statement is that? - of course its a good thing - thats tem million more people available to do something useful.
People never seem to see it that way though.
so whats the verdict?
all bets are off and back to notepad++ ?
I'm using that but occasionally CTRL shortcuts stop working and it .. oh never mind..
Prize funding?
HP paid 480k of the 1/2/ mill?
You'd think Google, Adobe, Mozilla, and Oracle would be able to come up with more than $20k between them if they were serious about security
How do accounts get hijacked?
I know how nefarious types have ways of setting up large numbers of new accounts, and I know what spam looks like and therefore how they could detect amounts of spam spewing from one account ( some better than others apparently ). This article is about that happening on hijacked accounts.
how do hijackers hijack real accounts in any kind of numbers?
random pwd tries based on the user name?

not really cos they are all done by hand in automated sweatshops
Re: Crazy
the worst thing is, given the "obsoletion" rate (a word i just made up) any remotely useful kit will be stored until the space is full before paying to have it removed, meanwhile its gone from old-but-useable to obsolete dead weight

"illegally ripped from her womb"
you come across as quite the environmentalist yourself!
"return them all to below ground as soon as possible."
agreed! just sayin we should hang on to the minerals we already ripped out to avoid having to do it again , or do less of it ( the ravaging)
still, the human race it but a minor irritation when you look at the lifespan of the planet, it'll all be over soon and the scars will quickly heal. geologically speaking
“if the employer says ‘put it in landfill and leave it to rot’, it is for them to decide. It is not for you to harvest the parts,
WRONG
It is your moral duty for the sake of the planet to extend the life of those parts and slow down the rapid depletement of the worlds precious metals and other resources.
This really pisses me off. Especially the amount of kit I've seen my employers pay to have destroyed.
If "Landfill" is really what derbyshire county asked for they should be prosecuted under environmental legislation
