They made everyone switch to UEFI and now the world is safe, right?

Just let them do it. Once they add up the cost for maintenance, operation errors (because no software is perfect), replacement parts and robot life expectancy (because all machines break down eventually), they will find out that paying their workers properly might be much cheaper.

I agree. The "free market religion" is like cancer - once the metastases grow through all economies, there is no cure.

Don't confuse unions with onions. Onions are the round things that make you cry. Unions are actually good - because of them, people no longer work 16 hours a day, and there is no child labor.

If not for the unions, 16 hours shifts and child labor would still be common. And it still is - in parts of the world where there are no unions.

Apparently, Czech wage slaves would be more manageable, or so they say. But the locals blocked it in a plebiscite.

Could it have something to do with the fact that the current consoles are 7 years old and potential buyers are saving up for the next generation consoles?

Users are obsolete.
Users are obsolete.
Users are obsolete.

Obsolete
are
users.

What are users?
Obsolete.

Who is obsolete?
Users.

How would you best describe the relation between users and being obsolete?
The latter being the core characteristics of the former.

Users, obsolete are.

Obsoleteness. Why dost thou plague the users so?

... especially if it's not there.

"Now listen you maggots! Shoot 'em, blow 'em, kill 'em anyway you like, but remember this. The blue ones are bulletproof, so use knives or grenades. But not on the green ones, those are resistant to all forms of explosives... and poison, I think. The black ones cannot be drowned and the purple ones can safely ignore radiation, so nukes are useless. War has become more complicated, I guess."

People have a lot of space they scarcely/ever use. But why just hackers? When we start doing good, let's extend it to other professions. In no time, you will have two attorneys in the attic, a group of gangsters in the garage, a Romanian refugee in the refrigerator, an established loan-shark in the lounge, few pick-pockets in the patio, a visionary in the vestibule, and maybe even a killer in the kitchen.

But what if those people start interacting with each other?

Since Chinese control 3 of the root DNS servers, I bet they are given the root zone KSKs.. and with them, you can spoof any record.

... I use the fantastic, free OpenDNS, and I have set resolv.conf to ns1.opendns.ch and ns2.opendns.ch years ago... crap! John, tear the wire from the wall, fast!

Why do we have it then? AFAIK root zone was signed in May, so just don't send those super secret root zone KSKs to red commies and every validating resolver is safe!

Hooray for advanced protocol beating the red threat back!
