No, but that just means the internet isn't the attack surface. If a machine on an intranet gets compromised by some other means, this is a vector for that machine to attack anything it can reach with SMB.

Wow, same here. My family happened to find a big set of that same Tom Swift series at a yard sale when I was about 12. They were constantly my most-read books through middle and high school, and may well have had something to do with goin

Similarly, the Moon is about 100 lunar diameters from the Earth. Hence the moon and sun look the same size in the sky, and both total and annular eclipses can happen.

An average like this doesn't necessarily mean the high end is good, it can also mean the absence of a low end dragging it down. An average like this means selectivity, avoiding out-of-the-way or oversaturated neighborhoods that would

The corporate salaryman isn't 100% of Japanese adults as it sometimes seems in these threads. It's somewhere around 20% to 30%, as it is for white-collar jobs everywhere.

Doom's 3Dness or lack thereof only mattered to programmers. Players didn't care, to them Doom looked entirely 3D.

Can confirm. I shocked myself a few times by bumping into the terminal of the 120V AC wire at the power switch on the front of a case. As long as it's plugged in to the wall, one side of that switch is hot even when the PC is off.

Matching speeds to the target object isn't all that difficult, right. The problem is the travel time becomes enormous to a distant target object, because it's going so slow comparatively. Pluto's orbital period is 248 years.

I think he means the Dutch bike style that encloses the chain and single-speed drivetrain inside a case. Great for durability and enduring harsh weather, bad for hills where you need gearing.

TD Bank around NYC has started to do $50s by default in high-demand locations, obviously so the machine needs refilling less often. One workaround hack is to withdraw a number like $80, to force the transaction into $20s instead. Although

Exactly. Look at it this way: an account with good reputation for years, suddenly showing up from Thailand instead, is exactly what a spammer hijacking the account would look like.

Cyclist rather than motorcyclist here, and that's correct. You read the body language of cars. If you pay attention - full attention with your head up on the situation, and not on your music or phone conversation - you can read what

The outer solar system is pretty well accounted for. For many years we thought it wasn't, and kept hunting for another (sufficiently-massive so not Pluto) planet beyond Neptune. The discrepancy turned out to be an overestimation of N

That first part isn't right. Doom was entirely CPU-bound software rendering, and 3d rendering cards didn't exist yet. You couldn't upgrade a 386 or 486 PC to play Doom better, short of replacing the entire motherboard with
