But, many people were hired on the premise that they would not need to come into the office because there was an explicit "you're allowed to work remotely" statement. People are being forced to relocate hundreds of miles, or find another job.

So they're going to find another job.

I don't know if insider trading in scope for a Wells Notice, but if they were aware of the scope of the breach, but it wasn't public knowledge, and traded on that information. Totally comfortable with the SEC going after them.

Back in the late '90s, there were stories very similar to this. People shipping "chips" that were just plastic. When someone proved that there wasn't any silicon in them by melting one, the supplier said that they had voided the warranty by applying the heat to the chip. What's old is new again.

I worked for a company and they were paying a male colleague even though his work was so bad, everyone else had to cover for him. He was effectively getting paid to hurt the company.

He wasn't even doing the same work.

When the announced that they would stop shipping keyboards (and mice) with their computers (I think it was in the 90s?), there was a huge uproar about how they were cheating everything. But then, what they said (about most people already having them already) was true, and I am sure fewer keyboards went into landfills as a result. Yes they will make more money, and that is likely the driver, but I am ok with less e-waste going to landfills.

And this differs from Google how?

There was a minority of households having landlines from 1876-19xx. Sorry, couldn't find the number.

I had heard that as an Coca-Cola executive's response to someone asking if having Diet Coke take away from Coke sales was a problem.

The problem with a signed build system, is what happens when malware is developed within Sourceforge? Upload the software, build it. Generate signed malware for installation. Sure Filezilla might have a l. But then what about the cert for SF.net/calculator?

Back in the early day of the Microsoft/Novell/Unix wars Microsoft liked to tout that there were used for mission critical purposes in most (all? can't remember for sure) Fortune 500 companies. When asked what that meant: At least one group was using them for file serving, which MS viewed as mission critical.

I was creating prototype software for a company. Near the end of that phase, one of the higher ups was surprised when I said there were probably still bugs in that code. Reality distortion fields abound.

Since these are reported, but not necessarily fixed bugs, if someone is interesting in attacking one of your customers, you are giving them a gold mine of potential attack information. I believe in responsible disclosure, but it is one thing to tell your customers. Something else to tell the world, especially before it is fixed.

So true. I wonder what the ratio business/consumer is. For a business user who needs internet, mail, phone, and maybe a few additional apps, 16 will be completely appropriate. I think this is part of the reason for the jump to 64. You either need very little additional space, or you need significantly more.

Ok. I am confused. You don't have the time to have someone on staff, helping with 50-70% of the job, but you do have time to search for 8-10+ months with no one filling the job?

Did I read that correctly?

Charter tried this in the US. It didn't last long. When someone's kids were targeted for ads based on dad's browsing things get ugly.
