Seriously. The FBI said that, '90% of US companies would have been hit by this attack'. SONY got hit by a Zero-Day Windows bug, right? Don't about 90% of US companies rely on things like Windows Server, SMB shares, Active Directory, etc.? Besides the security that Linux offers, reduced vectors and all that, rogue nation-states would have to re-focus on new attack vectors, which will consume a few of their resources and take some time. Seriously Fortune 500's, etc., take security seriously, like proper risk management, okay? Why should the POTUS be required to take retaliatory action because of your own bad decisions, based mainly on costs and ignorance?
We can make him better...
Does MS Office save ODF files okay also? Like a round-trip?
Oh. Thank you for clarifying what I wrote earlier. This is good to know.
Umm, this is not the methane you simple person know; or think you know. For one thing, temperatures on Titan are somewhat different than that on Earth, so please try again to recompute what you once thought you knew. Seas of frozen methane do exist, take Titan for example.
Plus, Microsoft Office just became less relevant and must now play catch up in order to remain competitive.
This is huge news for the ODF Standard, and for all the municipalities, universities, etc. who must break free of Microsoft Office Lock-in and 'taxes'.
The reason for the shutdown: The new tower — called the A-3 test stand — was useless. Just as expected. The rocket program it was designed for had been canceled in 2010.
But, at first, cautious NASA bureaucrats didn’t want to stop the construction on their own authority. And then Congress — at the urging of a senator from Mississippi — swooped in and ordered the agency to finish the tower, no matter what.
The result was that NASA spent four more years building something it didn’t need. Now, the agency will spend about $700,000 a year to maintain it in disuse.
No, this seems like very relevant and horrible news, at least to this Slashdotter. I do NOT(!) use Facebook, but my family loves it, posting photos and all that shit. Now I need to be worried about about how I am perceived via the Facebook Walled Garden(tm) to perspective employers doing requisite background checks, since I work in I.T. Like I didn't have enough genuine concerns given my field, market, and knowledge.
Facebook sucks.
Am I allowed to use a Search Engine?
This is a U.S. 110 volt thing only, if that helps. Actually TFA has a pretty clear photo of what to look for and how to identify the cable.
News of this release seems to address many of the short-comings Ars Technica had when Ars reviewed FreeNAS.
