That's all very well, but now it appears the post title is now editoralised compared to the title of the site it now links, "Website for USAID appears to be offline". Hate to remind you of rules/conventions, but if you k

I haven't checked for driver support for my last 6-7 laptops, and they've all been fine, I don't think people need to check anymore.

I've also never missed a flight by 16 seconds, so it is interesting that this chap is worried about missing his flight because of a brief delay?

I think i'd trust monitoring which is doing a functional/capability test with the specific payload more.

It's obviously the right thing to say it's an undesirable job, but with the right support, I actually think it could be a good job. You'd be able to go home each day knowing that you did a good part in helping to reduce the h

The British Library which is responsible for hosting our PhD's has been offline for a year following a cyber attack. It's really frustrating how long it is taking them to bring it back, and would really value IA having an archive.

The most impactful book I've come across? "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. Yes, it's old, and the title sounds like clickbait from a LinkedIn influencer. Or worse, it reeks of self-help nonsens

It wasn't me that raised the original bug, but a user. I didn't say it upsets me, but I do consider it unprofessional for a product. So tell me, why would it be "funny"? Are you, or have you ever been responsible for c

This is a community, not an end user facing error message for a product for the public used by millions of people. I can use profanity in my communication, but I would never put foul language in an error.. same as I wouldn't in documen

Either you know about his "reputation" or you don't. Those that have never interacted with him don't care, I agree (I mean, why would they?). But those that have, i'd suggest is a minority that can tolerate him.. b

Back in 2009, I saw something similar was when a user reported a bug to Ubuntu regarding Pulseaudio[0]. Basically the error messages was: $ pulseaudio W: main.c: D-Bus name org.pulseaudio.Server already taken. Weird shit! I though

`vim` is as easily installable as `vi`. If you want to be confident that the editor is present on the system, you could also choose to use `ed` which is also included in POSIX.1-2001 Utilities and POSIX.1-2008 Utilities.

To be honest, you've lost confidence from me. The whole thread people have been asking for reassurance and some detail, but it feels like you are intentionally skirting over the detail when asked. I'm sure the product has potenti

This is news to me! "The imperial pint (≈ 568 mL) is used in the United Kingdom and Ireland and to a limited extent in Commonwealth nations. In the United States, two kinds of pint are used: a liquid pint (≈ 473 mL) and a less common d

If it requires me to start ordering a glass of warm flat beer using the metric measure of 568ml, i'd start doing that rather than reduce it by 68ml. :)

And the UK can still buy a "pint" of beer or milk, which is both technically (and legally) 568ml - but I only know that measure because I looked it up!

Can you expand on "strict protocols" please?

That really comes with the territory of being an ethical security researcher, particularly when the recipient is welcoming of the disclosure. I'd also argue more so when it is open source. Otherwise, why not just drop them as zero day

Government policy? Lobbying has been active since the late 70's and not made enough progress. What approach do you suggest?

These people will likely end up going to prison, despite the painting being undamaged which is clearly excessive. Even if you dislike the cause or the method they adopt. Let us remember that these paintings are behind protective glass, mea

Hang on, you've jumped on my response without the context. I'm specifically responding to someone who stated there isn't law or customs of war surrounding this, when infact there clearly are. Beyond that, you are projecting a

For speeding, we do have a fine based on your weekly income. It can be up to 175% of your weekly income (capped to £2,500), if doing >100 MPH on a motorway (or >76 MPH if speed restricted to 50 MPH).

My bottleneck tends to be my brain rather than my fingers. If I was blinding typing out text without thought, then I'd see my typing speed as an issue.
