In other words bears are catholic

So how much research did it take this "hacker" to figure out that if you know the admin login for a router you can change the settings?

I'd like to publish some papers of my own:

* If you know the admin credentials you can brick Windows

* If you know the admin credentials you can brick MacOS

* If you know the admin credentials you can brick Linux

* If you know the admin credentials you can brick a nuclear submarine

* If you know the admin credentials you can brick name a thing

And this is why I always tell people not to take those policies.

They can monitor my every fucking move when I'm dead.

" .click, .restaurant, .help, .property, .top, .gifts, .quebec, .market and .ooo global top-level domains. It's also noted that growth of the new .ovh"

I understand why you might be conned* into buying one of the others but wtf are .ooo and .ovh for?

* I'd put money on a restaurant with only a .restaurant domain getting less business via the internet than one with .com, .co.uk or their local variant.

Is Malory skint again?

Did anyone actually do the missions? I could never be bothered and usually just drove around till I found some Krishnas or a flame thrower and then went on a rampage.

"The Skeleton Key Malware requires domain administrator credentials for initial deployment."

If you already have the domain admin credentials why would you need this piece of temporary, only works until the next reboot malware? You already have full access to the whole domain.

Been looking into the crystal ball again guys? You really should have put a year on that one.

“deep-rooted mistrust” of its core customer base?

So Oracle don't trust their customers?

I think you meant mistrust from their customer base.

Smaller than a business card?

My business cards are about 3 microns thick, how thick is this external SSD?

$14.99?

That is the real crime here.

Presumably FB didn't actually show pictures of deceased relatives but pictures from when they were still alive. (Apart from the ashes case but you only have yourself to blame for uploading that one.) That could be taken as a reason to smile and celebrate the time you had with them.

Oh wait, that doesn't fit with the narcissistic look-at-me FB culture.

Sounded interesting till the bits about Romans and Incas, then it loses the plot.

If digging the road up to lay cable to a cabinet is too hard how do they propose to lay that cable to a building on the same road?

This whole thing sounds like a racket to me. Cabinet in the building so landlord pays for installation of the cabinet instead of BT and it can be a cheaper design because it doesn't need to be weather proof, etc. Then they can charge all the businesses in that building the normal install fee. WIN - WIN!

"industrial parks, all of which are ringed by razor wire and boast a guard post."

Exactly like industrial parks in the UK and Europe. I've visited factories belonging to everyone from IBM to HP to Motorola to Ford to BAE to Raytheon. All of them had high fences, barbed wire, guard posts and would take your phone off you at the door in case it had a camera in it.

They were still going?

I could have sworn they stopped publishing new content about 3 years ago.

There is definitely a gap in the market for a decent site / mag for programmers. All the ones I read in the 90s and early 00s have died in the last 10 years. Ideally it should be language agnostic and cover older tech as well as the bleeding edge.

It's for the freaking children!

And as an added benefit is also sends everything on your phone, all messages, et, etc direct to GCHQ. For your safety.

Yuck

Ugh you've gone all Office 2013 / Win 8 with far too much unbroken WHITE and no shading / gradients / lines to separate the different sections of the page. My first thought was that the stylesheet had failed to download for some reason so I hit refresh before spotting the redesign story.

Could we please get an alternative theme with an off-white background or even an inverse theme with black background for those of us with a bit of Mogwai in our genes? The current one makes me want to put shades on.

Case sensitivity is more a liability than an asset. It causes all kinds of typos you just can't get in a language like VB.

There are advantages to using VB.Net over C#. Some of the syntax makes more sense and there are a few things VB can do that C# can't.

At the end of the day use the right tool for the job. If that is C# great, if it is VB.Net that's good too.

The sooner they kill BBC3 the better. If you've ever watched it you know why.

For every Gavin & Stacy there are a million Don't Tell the Bride, Sun Sex & Suspicious Parents and 'documantaries' presented by naive young female journalists who pretend its a shock to them that some people are poor before busrting into tears.

If we could axe ITV (all channels) too the quality of British television would increase by an order of magnitude.

Hug resources

Because all virus programmers need a hug!

overage charges?

Do they have under age charges as well?

I stopped reading at the point where the author thought that Visual Studio, Eclipse and Xcode are graphical SDKs! At least learn the difference between an SDK and an IDE if you're going to write an article about programming.

What a load of old virginia

Oooh his anti virus was up to date so it must have been the fags. Yeah right.

Why would an e-fag have anything other than power pins in the usb connection? I detect a lot of smoke, and probably a few mirrors. All designed to get the IT dept off the hook for whatever damage this breach has caused.

More likely the guy caught a virus that was not detected by their corporate av, etc. These things aren't a magic bullet.
