Re: One of those under the X-Mas tree?

I dont agree with you, Sagres and Super Bock are quite ok, and let me tell you I've lived in Belgium, so I know about this stuff.

As for "Francesinhas" I stay away from it as much as I can, you can ear your arteries crying just by looking at the stuff.

BOFH: SOOO... You want to sell us some antivirus software?

AV software...

How I bloody hate it! And don't get me on vendors... I've had a few phone calls that quite resemble Simons ... I guess I'll save these as a template for the next time I get one.

Re: now that's devious.

Not devious, just the easiest, most efficient and most valuable way to achieve this ends.

why use huge amounts of computer power if they can just break https during handhake before any really hard computation really happens? Just go for the certificate!

A backdoor into Skype for the Feds? You're joking...

Tuesday 21st May 2013 21:53 GMT Puzzeled European

Skype gives me the creeps!!!!

True story.

A couple of days ago, I get this call from a client whining that is printer wasn't working, "a friend has tried it and said it was ok, but I still cant print"

So there I go and to my utter surprise and horror after 20 min of puling nobs and pushing wires realize that whenever skype was turned on and logged in the printer would freak out and stop printing, just to restart printing the moment you turned skype out.

Was skype calling home? I have no idea, nor did I have wireshark with me to check out, but as we say here “No creo en brujas, pero que las hay, las hay"

So when something fishy happens in your computer, just check if skype is on before you call the PC repairman.
