I really hope they don't pay!
I hope so too. That way, the hackers will release the files (the contents, not just the filenames), which contain enough juice to sink Sony Pictures (and possibly other parts of Sony too) for good.
every officer of the company needs to do the honorable thing and leave the company, leave the industry, and get a job more suited to their ethical and strategic skill set. Like flipping burgers, or arranging the sushi on the platter.
Are you sure these are appropriate jobs for Sonyscum? Personally, I wouldn't want to eat burgers laced with exlax, or sushi caught from the waters next to Fukushima...
The suggestion in the book that it would be appropriate to plug a known-virus-infected USB thumbdrive into another computer in order to fix it seems totally crazy to me. Even if the second computer does have better security there's no guarantee the virus isn't a new one that hasn't made it into virus checker recognition databases yet...
Yeah, but you forgot an important detail... The suggestion was not just to plug it in to another computer, but to plug it into another computer that isn't yours. In case it does becomes infected, you just sneak away, and pretend that nothing happened...
But only if you're a boy. If you're a girl, you just keep sitting next to it and weep...
Everybody knows wind turbines are eye sores.
They obscure all the lovely smoke stacks.
A couple of years back, the French complained that a new wind turbine field in Germany was spoiling the nice scenic view of the Chateau de Malbrouck (located just opposite the German-French border from that infamous field).
Unfortunately, they conveniently completely forgot what the Germans see when they look at the Chateau de Malbrouck
When you qualify it by saying, "always on third party SSDs", then it's not the same as "always" (unqualified).

So, what's your point?
If you are turning north from I-10 onto I-65, or if you are on I-65 and turning east or west onto I=10, you have already failed at taking the quickest was from anywhere to anywhere else.
Just looking at a map, while coming from North I-65 and going east on I-10 looks kinda nonsensical, going west doesn't look so bizarre. You'd use that connection when going from Montgomery to New Orleans, wouldn't you?
Or is that just a general comment that those roads tend to be congested, and are never the quickest way (no matter which way you turn?)
The current panic underscores it as well - first people underreact and now they are overreacting.
The shwinesflu scare a couple of years ago may also be an explanation for the initial under-reaction...
"politic" meaning roughly in the original Greek "To shout down"
Bullshit. The word "politic" is derived from "polis", the Greek word for "city". So "politics" is the art of running a city (or city-state, as most cities were back then), not the art of shouting your opponent down...
Oh I had the same thought....I mean, by the time an "attacker" is modifying arbitrary environment variables in your process,
Which is the case on most Apache Web server configs: the client has full control over the HTTP_REFERER and HTTP_USER_AGENT variables... And the exploit in question works with any environment variable, including those 2.
Well, starting from here, you are vulnerable as soon as:
The problem affects any CGI that *calls* bash, which means any call to system() in any language is going to cause a problem.
Nowadays, on most systems,
Just ran pacman -Syu
$ env x='() {
bash: warning: x: ignoring function definition attempt
bash: error importing function definition for `x'
this is a test
Good. And now on to the next level:
env X='() { (a)=>\' bash -c "echo
