Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse after the weekend along comes a space rock to turn your already bad Monday into something even worse.

GM actually did a cool ground-up design that was called Autonomy (looks like they changed the name to Hy-Wire) since I followed it. It used a skate-board chassis very similar to what Tesla uses now.

You mean, like posting to slashdot?

You haven't suffered until you've worked for a stress-puppy micro-manager.

Strictly technical contract Linux/Unix System Administrator here. Gave up on a management track when I not only pointed out that the Emperor not only had no clothes but was also a few pounds overweight and some parts weren't very imperial in size.

I'm getting three to five e-mails and or phone calls a day from headhunters. I'm very senior (30+ years in the business) so I'm not cheap. 2007 through 2010 I couldn't buy a job. What changed is the labor market. It just got a lot tighter. It may not be the dot com days when if you could say computer you got hired but it's looking a lot better.

The last laugh is that a lot of hiring managers and HR dweebs haven't gotten the memo and are still pulling the same old bullshit. If you run into one of those, keep looking. There's someone out there who doesn't need a glass navel to see where they're going.

You (and possibly said law) use a definition of true that excludes quite a few people and their opinions. There are all sorts of "deniers" out there who dispute the truth of everything from the Holocaust to the moon landings to climate change to the shape of the earth. What is the "truth" of the subject concert review of the original article? What is the truth of the guy who started the whole right to be forgotten cause and his bankruptcy?

Hell, we have trouble getting information "erased" when it is found to be false (court case near here of a guy who was accused of rape, lost his job, was ostracized, etc. only to be able to prove he didn't do it). I somehow doubt that any and all uncomfortable data can be erased but high profile and well off people will be able to obfuscate their history even better under the "right to be forgotten."

Alessandra Mussolini will petition the EU for the right of her grandfather (Benito) to be forgotten? Lots of negative comments out there about him.

Better article at finance.yahoo.com: https://finance.yahoo.com/news... that I ran across on Tuesday.(I own some NOC stock).

Given the length of time we've been going back and forth on this site (and it's been a long time), I propose we meet in person. Please reach out to me here if you're interested. If you don't know why you should be interested, please disregard this reply and have a nice day.

Please be advised that it's plausible that the GP is engaged in the business of pretending ignorance in an effort to identify individuals who possess the requisite knowledge to accomplish certain aims. I don't particularly care about this possibility as it pertains to myself, but I'm becoming increasingly "itchy" with regard to digging into this person's background. It wouldn't be the first (or even tenth) time I've confirmed such behavior, where confirmation is defined as irrefutable identification of the full background of the involved party. Most of these guys really aren't very bright, but hey, they allegedly mean well.

On the off chance that you're actually one of those "special guys" who isn't really a complete idiot but is instead engaged in the business of posting bait posts in forums like these with the intent of identifying "candidates" for employment by certain entities, please be advised that I've already worn a uniform for a living "once upon a time," and I'm not presently interested in returning to that sort of service. This is mostly due to the fact that your organizational concept of loyalty is demonstrably flawed at best (all it takes is one lying and improperly trusted jackass in a senior officer role to ruin the fun for others), and there's also the minor problem that your pay fucking sucks considering the nature of the work at hand. If none of the aforementioned criteria apply to you, meaning you're simply a pompous ass and idiot, all I can really say is "good luck in life, and try not to piss off the wrong people." Cheers.

I authenticate the parent post.

Once again, you've proven you have have no understanding of these issues. The GP's reference to downgrade protection refers to mitigation of a MITM's ability to force a protocol downgrade to SSL 3.0 and hence gain the ability to decrypt sensitive data such as session cookies. As I mentioned in an earlier reply, TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV offers mitigation for such protocol downgrade scenarios, although it should be noted that the most desirable means of resolving this entire mess is to disable SSL 3.0 on the server side.

Why are you persisting in posting replies which clearly indicate you're nothing more than a pompous ass and pretender? To help you understand my context, I spend the majority of my time contributing to the efforts of a team that is devoted to securing a varied assortment of information assets for Fortune 50 companies. Do I really need to track you down and dox everything I find to everyone you know? Is that really what you want? Hush up now, it's past your bedtime, junior.
