Their ethical obligation would also be to err towards full disclosure, not away from it. Google's original view of the situation was that installers like this make devices measurably less secure (to which Epic's response was prett

One only has to work in IT security for a relatively short span to see ample evidence that humans are not generally concious.

Perhaps they would do well to realize that if someone uses a "joke licence" they are implicitly stating that the code in question, according to their personal standards, probably isn't suitable for production environments.

In this case the point of the licence is that the original author knows they have done something terrible and/or inadvisable (probably out of desperation), but still... The code worked once and it might be useful to someone else

This is up there with buffer overflow bugs (is counting really that hard?) for things we bitch about all the time, yet somehow developers manage to ignore it. This type of screwup goes all the way back to DOS days and beyond with similar st

Reminder: That didn't stop them from converting HoTMail over to NT/Exchange.

No, it does not need to "print and burn", but if you'd like to begin buying some from me for $1.10 each, I'll happily accommodate you in large quantities if you can comply with KYC.

No, they don't need to print more tether to protect the price. The price of tether is locked to $1.

The other allegation (which is pretty viable) was with large reserves to play with, they could cause crashes or spikes in order to gobble up their users risky shorts. Shorts they would know the exact number and values of.

What makes it easier is having fixed goals in mind, because I am seeing a lot of people in this thread arguing because they're all solving different problems which is obviously going to mean different solutions . If your only conce

Hopefully just the process of watching all connections break and seeing the internet go away as the client reassociates with the AP each time they foolishly tumble their MAC on an _active_ connection will be enough to keep this scenario fro

This requires that Windows knows about the exact size of the display, but Windows cuts a few corners there so it's unlikely to be as precise as an 8.5x11 piece of paper. Compounding the problem is that the operating system relies on

Not to be "that nerd" but it wasn't an accident. The writers actually performed a fairly elegant retconning to explain the difference in appearance between the Klingons as they appeared in multiple series.

Actually, on many if not most devices you can just 'cast' the entire display to a Chromecast, which is inexpensive enough that it's unlikely anyone's going to bother developing a replacement mechanism. The nearest thing

No. It only cares about unlocked bootloaders on devices that shipped with Android 7 because a requirement of shipping with that was hardware support facilitating dm_verity, which is essentially a check that the bootloader wasn't tampe

No, they'll still be at fault because if you have a massive pile of highly sensitive data online, and all it takes is one vulnerability to get at it all, then your security model was awful . Was this database typically accessed with

A guy who has his own garage would have some assets... which would be a step up for most ICOs.

That has no bearing here because it's not the user mis-clicking on the link, but the app in question deliberately following a link on behalf of the user with the stated goal of causing harm.

That's not really likely to help. The main issue appears to be that since fontconfig (a lib used by GIMP) is only "native" to Linux, for it to know about the TTF files, it has to scan them all and build it's cache at sta

I'm sure a lot of people will take "the free money" but it would also mean Coinbase has to write a lot of code to handle those transactions separately, and do so in a very short span of time, oh and that code would need to

Thank you. Finally someone said it. This was not the least bit counterintuitive to anyone familiar with randomness. We're they trying to imply that people should assume the distribution would remain uniform? . That strikes me as m

I'd like to take a moment to point out that the actual Copyright Act which BMG et al. are so freely waving about has a section that explicitly states that after a certain amount of time, these products are supposed to go into the publ

This particular tool is somewhat unimpressive. From what's shown in the article it's likely only usable on RedHat-derivatives (because of the binary-only kernel module). There are already "amateur" rootkits out there, w

Yeah, excepting that a label exec would immediately scoop them up to be produced as remix singles, to be released in stages over the next six months on iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play for $1.29 apiece, whether you liked them or not .

Uhh... It mounts after downloading? Aside from that I doubt (or don't want to believe) that's what's happening... Doesn't that sound inherently dangerous to you? We've seen files that could infect Windows machin

If they did they personally lost quite a bit of money in the process. Just the initial sell resulted in a very large number of their coins selling for below the market average (because there's more exchanges than just Coinbase/

This looked like one sizeable market sell that wiped out a large portion of the buy orders on the book, leaving the remaining buy orders starting the way down at ~$210. This (somewhat predictably) triggered a bunch of people's stops

Oh yes, it was right there in the log. Whoever that was is probably still trying to wrap their head around that it actually happened (and checking with an accountant because the IRS will be wanting a little chat).
