Hot Potato,
Don't pick it up, pick it up, pick it up.
Quick, pass it on, poss it on, poss it on.
You don't want to get caught, get caught, get caught.
Drop it on someone. Who ? Who ? Anybody.
You better not have it when the big one comes.
I said you better not have it when the big one comes.

"Hacking typewriters is possible by accessing the ribbon cable..."
Yes, everybody who's ever watched the Clumbo episode "Now You See Him" (I think is was in season 5) knows this.
All you'd have to do is to remove the cartridge and burn or shred it. Or burn the shreds. And dissolve the ashes with acid. And flush the remains down the toilet.

Not about passing bosses, but company toilet related:
You've probably seen the kind of bog roll holder that holds two rolls side by side. Most of them also have some sort of lock.
A couple of years someone I know pulled a little prank at the company he was working at. They had the sort of holders described. Standard company issue bog roll in both slots. So he changed one of the rolls for a de luxe extra-soft 4-plier one. And put labels on the case reading "Management Only" and "Workforce".
Microsoft: We’ve taken down the botnets. Europol: Would Sir like a kill switch, too?
Tuesday 19th January 2016 13:06 GMT
A kill switch would be a very bad idea - mission or otherwise critical boxes can get infected too (they shouldn't, but it's not a perfect world) and simply switching them off would lead to all kinds of problems. However, re-routing traffic plus a notification seems like a good idea and would help a lot in sorting things out, and faster.

Amazon China registers for ocean freight services to US

Re: Vertical integration
Doesn't have to go wrong per se - if it really is a good idea* and if it is implemented in the right way. Which Amazon should be able to do.
* as opposed to a PHB's brainfart inspired from a headline in a magazine
(Which reminds me of a joke: How do managers recognize bad ideas? Easy: bad ideas come from other people.)

If I may be permitted to humbly correct you: the river in question is called Donau. You probably know it as the Danube. Celebrated by Johann Strauss in his greatest hit 'An der schönen blauen Donau'

(later used by Stanley Kubrick in '2001', but that's another story).

Happy 30th birthday, IETF: The engineers who made the 'net happen
Sunday 17th January 2016 00:15 GMT
It all seems so normal now, like switching on the light or using a car. Anyone under 30/35 years can't remember the pre-internet age. It's good to be reminded that we are experiencing a technical revolution (and it's impact on society) like printing machines, steam engines, electricity... maybe even bigger. Mindboggling.
