First of all, piracy is a workaround and not a legitimate solution to any problem. Second, it doesn't solve the root issue here--somebody has to have paid the inflated cost of an Elsevier subscription. Sci-hub doesn't exist in a v

This is a little bit like coming into a thread about sailing and asking people to prove to you the earth is round by showing citations. Why don't you start by showing your citations that say otherwise?

The Metasploit folks released their exploit not too long ago. I haven't had any hits monitoring my Apache logs all day until just recently. Good luck/god bless to everybody.

Welp, I'm about to take a hammer to all of my data centers and get busy, then move deep into the woods. Good luck to everybody else who decides to leave their equipment functioning; it was nice knowing you.
