Attackers are being shielded by and adversarial nation states and taking advantage of currency exfiltration via crypto currencies. So, arguably ransomware attacks should be treated…

"..a nice WebUI" I challenge that assertion!

I believe it. Networking is seen as a commodity now. It's transparent until it fails. There's a whole lot of technical debt lurking out there. I personally have seen the dark shado…

And I'm being downvoted for that? Seriously? In 13 years of networking I have never once had to reload machine to help with OSPF or BGP convergence. Good networking architecture an…

Sorry - are you telling us you had to reboot all nodes because you swapped a router out? Sounds like you need a network engineer.

Like panarky, I wouldn't take that on face value. I'm going to guess that a significant number of people use the same password for Ebay as for Paypal. Someone's got a lot of incent…

He could give a private donation. Anyhow, I know they need money now. Any publicity is...

I had my 40th on Sunday. I had an interview on the Friday and I had the distinct impression that I did match the interviewers picture of the team member he wanted. This was as Secu…

Amazon are apparently scanning themselves. If they are doing this then they might figure that the quantity of exposed keys will undermine their reputation. That is quite something …

My newly built Aircooled flat-4 needed running in. Lots of moving parts with fine tolerance needed bedding in. I quickly followed with an oil change to remove the anticipate swarf …

Both enforcing it and observing the spirit of the law would work for me. There is space for continuous deployment of no bribe regulation here.

Right now they have no chance of being elected unless they spend obscene sums. Remove that need through campaign finance regulations and you will remove an enormous source of lever…

The argument is that if you deny people entry you miss out on talent. It is that simple. Now you want to deny people with proven talent who's abilities will further the interests o…

I would rather that they simply were not allowed conflicts of interest during and after office. No joining companies lobbying for the industry you were supposedly regulating when i…

Einstein, Tesla and Musk. None of those guys would have ended up in the US if you had any power over immigration policy. Oh.. and are you native? Genuine question as I have no idea…

Admit it. You only commented so you could type "'meatspace' firewall". me too.

Is attempted blinding really the intention? They should be locked up for overestimating the power of laser pointers if nothing more. I keep reading 'attempted murder' too. Hyperbol…

No it isn't. It's a distracting annoyance at best.

Only 7 years and you're tired already? Maybe it's not the job for you?

Is post industrial work ever completely compatible with the essential human condition?

The idea is that two stores shouldn't be able to sell one unique product. I would argue otherwise..

Author feels that there is a link between Amazon and both storefronts. IE Laptop purchased from store A Returned. Same laptop sold as new from Store B. Author checked original stor…

How long should you hold them to your face?
