If I recall correctly, most of Lemos hacks consisted of bypassing weakly secured web proxies to access internal Intranets. If I also recall correctly, he had been working for the Feds for some time, before turning in Manning. As Lamo had been caught trying to purchase drugs online using other peoples credit cards. but never mind, print the legend.
After moving from our own on premises hardware to the Cloud, to the hybrid Cloud, to the hybrid Cloud on the Edge, we now have to move to the Fog. Is there no end to this innovation :]
@skrebbel: “Stop pushing the blame upstairs. If you knowingly build software that hurts people, you share the blame. The job market for programmers has never been better. "My boss told me to do it" is not an excuse.”
What planet are you from, my boss told me to do it and I said no, so now I am out of a job and shunned within the industry.
Judging people from a different culture and age by the contemporary mores. Does one need to know what Simenon got up to in the bedroom department in order to appricate a detective novel?
‘What prompted this post was a basic but valid question getting downvoted to -4:’
“Is there a way to list all standard Go packages? I have a list of packages and I want to figure out if this is a standard package.”
‘Seems like a pretty valid question to me, so why is it downvoted to -4?’
Sounds very familiar, not that anyone round here would engage in such. I think it's because people see any kind of questioning as a personal attack on them. Or long-term-posters acquire the delusion that it is their personal fiefdom.
How did this malware compromise the iPhone in the first place. Did Apple insert a backdoor for the spooks that was discovered by a third party. It wouldn't be the first time as Google is reported to have inserted a government backdoor that was subsequently used by the Chinese.

The full title is ‘“HE’S FULL OF SHIT”: HOW ELON MUSK FOOLED INVESTORS, BILKED TAXPAYERS, AND GAMBLED TESLA TO SAVE SOLARCITY’. Makes me wonder are we in the middle of yet another Tesla shorting cycle. Buy some shorts, trash Tesla in the media, wait for stock to drop, then cashout.
Stranger then Fiction, you couldn't make it up, no one would believe it:
“This tendency towards pseudoreligiosity surfaces most clearly in Campbell’s relation with that mountebank and founder of exploitative cults, Hubbard”
L. Ron Hubbard had a talent for grifting people. Later on he joined Jack Parsons magical order 'Ordo Templi Orientis'. At Parsons Pasadena mansion, Hubbard and Parsons engaged in the occult task of raising a moonchild, before Hubbard ran off with Parsons money, girlfriend and yacht. There's a fictionalized version on 'CBS All Access' called "Strange Angel". Hubbard turns up at the end of season 2.
“The first Matrix I designed was .. [a] monumental failure .. Thus, I redesigned it based on your history to more accurately reflect the varying grotesqueries of your nature.”
@spinach: “I don't think it's particularly disrespectful, isn't all that's needed a change of perspective? What makes it disrespectful, precisely?”
Your processor's all fucked up, your information tray is jammed. Personally, I'd feel a little queasy eating strawberries from my own garden fertilized with my dear ole gran. To reduce the cadaver into compost would totally disrespect such shared memories as were had with their loved one. I guess your response here is yet another depiction of the dehumanizing effects of the coming transhuman post-human epoch. Where, as I read somewhere recently, one can attend ones own funeral as a robot. Oh brave new world that has such people in it.
Would being continously shorted by Wall Street have anything to do with this? For example, take yet another short position in Tesla and then trash it in the financial press, like this article is doing.
It is curious that since 2013 Tesla sales have jumped from approx 20,000 per year to approx 30,000 per month and yet the stock price hasn't shown an equivalent increase. If I were of a cynical nature I would suspect the rest of the US car industry (what's left of it) of punishing Musk for being sucessfull. Despite this, an increase of 1,889 percent on an initial investment in the IPO in 2010 is not too bad.
“The U.S. military has conducted a flight test of a type of missile banned for more than 30 years by a treaty that both the United States and Russia abandoned this month, the Pentagon said”.
No not all all, the US arbitrarily abandoned the treaty. It's to do with the US trying to distract from economic and social problems at home by picking a fight with someone, anyone.
‘Well this article doesn't seem very good. Not least because the author seems perfectly willing to not actually explain the detail, and then jump to conclusions .. some customers buy "on-premises licenses" without mobility rights, and MSFT used to let them use those licenses on outsourced hardware’
Seems perfectly clear to me:
“Microsoft has introduced a preview of Azure Dedicated Host, which provides a physical server hosted on Azure and not shared with other customers.”, ref
Microsoft has introduced it's own dedicated hardware.
“Alongside this new service, the company has made licensing changes that will make Microsoft software more expensive for some customers of AWS, Google and Alibaba.”, ref
And made it more expensive for “running Windows Server on any cloud that isn’t Azure”.
