Attackers are being shielded by and adversarial nation states and taking advantage of currency exfiltration via crypto currencies. So, arguably ransomware attacks should be treated as terrorism and, in some cases, acts of war. Whatever 'war' means in this context.

"..a nice WebUI"

I challenge that assertion!

I believe it. Networking is seen as a commodity now. It's transparent until it fails. There's a whole lot of technical debt lurking out there. I personally have seen the dark shadow of spanning tree suck the light out of DevOp engineers eyes.

And I'm being downvoted for that? Seriously? In 13 years of networking I have never once had to reload machine to help with OSPF or BGP convergence. Good networking architecture and planning should mitigate anything other than a couple of minute outage. No routing change should ever require a reload of a server or end node.

Sorry - are you telling us you had to reboot all nodes because you swapped a router out? Sounds like you need a network engineer.

Like panarky, I wouldn't take that on face value. I'm going to guess that a significant number of people use the same password for Ebay as for Paypal. Someone's got a lot of incentive to generate some hashes tonight..

He could give a private donation.

Anyhow, I know they need money now. Any publicity is...

I had my 40th on Sunday. I had an interview on the Friday and I had the distinct impression that I did match the interviewers picture of the team member he wanted. This was as Security Engineer working on a relatively large Security team within a large company that hosts a lot of domains. Point of this comment is that this is the first time I walked away thinking 'does he think I'm too old for that role'. Maybe I shouldn't be saying how much I want to work around people who know things I don't.. how much I want to learn. Perhaps I'm expected to be a manager now :(

Amazon are apparently scanning themselves. If they are doing this then they might figure that the quantity of exposed keys will undermine their reputation. That is quite something in itself.

My newly built Aircooled flat-4 needed running in. Lots of moving parts with fine tolerance needed bedding in. I quickly followed with an oil change to remove the anticipate swarf that resulted. Oil consumption reduced after 500 miles or so as the piston rings sealed up.

Then the vacuum diaphragm on my distributer needed to soften a little. On first use it wasn't flexible enough to move the advance arm quickly within the distributer so my spark advance curve was to low. After breaking it in it is much more responsive.

I would guess speaker diaphragm movement changes as materials wear, weaken or transform into their expected constituency.

Your toaster on the other hand.. maybe the oil will burn off the elements and your toast will taste nicer?

Not a very helpful article for the insomniac. Surely a bigger problem for many people is being able to fall asleep at all, let alone sleep for a required number of hours.

Both enforcing it and observing the spirit of the law would work for me. There is space for continuous deployment of no bribe regulation here.

Right now they have no chance of being elected unless they spend obscene sums. Remove that need through campaign finance regulations and you will remove an enormous source of leverage. I would be happy to see a 50% mix of public money and 50% individual capped donations making up a cursory figure. Legally require large networks to give free and equal airtime to each candidate with enough support to justify inclusion. It simply cannot be impossible to remove the biggest sources un-democratic influence.

The argument is that if you deny people entry you miss out on talent. It is that simple. Now you want to deny people with proven talent who's abilities will further the interests of the nation state. Some of those you deny will have exceptional abilities. The nation as a whole loses.

It is very sad that nine percent of computer science graduates are unemployed. Why is that? Why are they not fulfilling the already critical need for skilled IT workers? A clue - it's not because the immigrants are taking all there jobs.

Love the quote BTW - from and immigrant news service.
