Am I the only one who read this thinking it was truth, only to feel lied to after finding out it's fiction? Is the-toast.net doing the same thing as The Onion, or was it just this one story? If I was Tolkien, I'd be a bit peeved a

I think it's unfair to punish someone for a decision they had no part of. How many of the people who had their info leaked had an a part in making the decision to go with the security precautions they chose, or even were aware of them.

This. IMO the higher up the chain you are, the more responsibility you have to secure the systems you are responsible for. I feel like it's a perceived lack of accountability (from the perspective of the hackers) of the executive team

What about privacy when applying for a job? When I apply for a job, I'm not putting my content online. But that's all the Sony employees have done, and now they're directly in the crossfire.

I have no sympathy for Sony, but I feel deeply for the honest people who are just trying to earn a living working there. More so after reading about how some of them were openly complaining internally about things they saw as problems - man

They don't just refuse to work with non-keurig k-cups, they refuse to work with version 1 k-cups from the old system. Sucks to be anyone who bought more than a box before their machine broke.

So that's who is responsible for those horrible popup ads that TPB has been using. I fear for anyone browsing pirate bay without noscript and adblock. Edit: typo

Why is that short sighted? Do we disagree about competition being a good thing for consumers?

I agree that the current system needs to change. I don't agree that we should throw open the doors for Uber as a catalyst to make that change though. Cabs can be downright horrible, but I'm hesitant to throw out the devil we know

I don't dispute that malware is incentivised to look like legitimate traffic. I wanted to respond to your comment about vendors using one endpoint to inhibit filtering. They have as much freedom to do this as I do to deny them any inte

I like this idea. It does assume that a user can't set the vlan themselves but my switches support this and I think it would be really cool to have segregated networks for different levels of user trust.

I really like this idea. I'm trying to take it one step further in fact. My filtering is done at the gateway, and I'm hunting for ways of communicating which packets are associated with which users (on Linux and Mac). Probably don

I concede that it's not a panacea, but I really do feel like filtering outbound requests is going to be one of the best defences we have against stuff like this going forward. It protects you against: - viruses / trojans that try

This post says the route cache was removed. This leads me to the question: What replaced it? Surely if it was simply removed, network performance would drop, which leads me to think caching must have been added somewhere else as it was remo

I'm right behind you in boycotting anything Sony. It raises the question though, what would it take for a company with a reputation as tarnished as Sony's to earn back your respect and patronage? For me, the answer to that is not

I agree that it's in line with what we would expect from North Korea, but I don't think that having a motive is itself evidence of the crime. They haven't even admitted to it, they've instead made a statement of "ma

I don't disagree with anything you've said, it is important that the job is fulfiling for both introverts and extroverts and that's a very difficult balance to strike. It's important to point out though that if you make

I'm skeptical anytime someone tries to attribute an attack to someone else without detailed explanation of why they believe that.

Thank you for your comment, it provides perspective other than my own which is refreshing and valuable. I think one of the OPs points touches on this directly though. What is the ratio of questions asked to answers provided, or to put it an

I love the way you can plot people's movements via bluetooth, but it's also the reason I turn my own bluetooth off. I wonder if there's a need for something that broadcasts like bluetooth does with minimal power, but allows y

It can't help that the Secret Service is losing top talent to private security firms like Academi (aka Blackwater), which draws a parallel with parts of the tech industry. It makes me wonder exactly how much worse it is in the Intellig

To my fellow Vim users out there, I would like to ask why you use Vim? For me, Vim is what my mentor was using so it's what I picked up. It's command-line oriented which is a huge win for me, and it's available everywhere (Ma

I take issue with the idea that if every developer was pulling in the same direction we would be somewhere better than where we are now. I view the diversity and freedom in Foss projects as a feature, not a bug. First off, assuming you got

Its possible to MITM an HTTPS connection, trick you into thinking it is secure by providing a green lock favicon, and intercepting or sniffing everything you do over that connection. And it will work on nearly every website in existance. Mo

One way to deal with this is to filter all outbound requests and not let the requests that you've identified as "phoning home" to complete. Then, you test the app, if it still works you can continue using it. If it doesn&#x27
