I did not RTFA of course, but another possibility is to give the ability to dump kiddie porn on a target's computer to create more suspicion and give them leverage and a PR boost. I used to think the Police were above such things and that the "plant a gun" meme was rare, but as we have seen in St. Louis and making public records available that show the victim might not be a great guy... maybe this happens more than we think.
Yeah, replying to a troll isn't good, but in a time when most sane people that the power of the police, the SOPs of the police, and the hiring practices of the police need a makeover it is yet another black eye. I support GOOD police officers, but it appears that the bad has penetrated every level of police procedure.
Yeah. They can do two factor auth. The key fob they sell will only cost $595 and work only with Safari.
In the new Feudalism, the corporations are going to own anything. It's the same thing. If they control how government is run then they ARE the government.
Yeah.. great, but Word renders documents differently computer to computer.
The use of
I was too busy to make comments when this story came up, but I've worked providing IT for offices for a good part of my life. You can get secretaries to bitch about anything. Moving to Windows so they can use the corporate-blessed Microsoft Office doesn't help that. You will still get bitching and moaning.
You are always going to have problems with any type of "office" app because of the people using it.
It's a decent point, but you didn't follow through. The whole point is that cars depend on computers MORE than having a computerized dashboard. What you are mentioning in your second paragraph is quite trivial.
Computers are used to regulate just about every system in your car. If a "hacker" gets into your car and shuts down the brake system then it's a whole lot worse than if he's just putting a picture of Goat.se on the dashboard.
And THIS, pals, is why the screaming about regulations is so damn stupid.
Someone didn't get his bribe!
The only irreplaceable people have "president" or "vice-president" in their title.
Soooo... by the end of next decade they are building a Linux distro.
The trick is that it will only run a version of Microsoft Office and almost nothing else. it will have a packing system that reboots the machine every 15 minutes, and have it's very own version of gcc that has tons of undocumented function calls.
Suddenly you forget that any filesystem other than NTFS exists.
You can't write code that works on any other OS.
You bow down to the great shrine of Gates.
You're screwed. Totally screwed.
Yeah, but "it's only business" purposefully ignores the fact that these are people, people that have kids in many cases. It also overlooks the fact that these people helped them make money hand over fist. Yeah, they are selling shitty products to Microsoft zombies in a lot of cases, but they still are people.
Yeah... they make the company money. Nothing is owed to them. Let the fuckers starve. Welcome to the US corporate jungle, where you're not allowed up in the tree to get a banana while the monkeys in suits shit on you.
Welcome to the TRULY disposable workforce. Do your 18 months then they Fargo your ass.
Screw that. Every person without a trustfund or an executive job is "uppity".
