Submission + - Sony hacked again (computerworld.com)
The same article notes that F-Secure has discovered a phishing site in Thailand that's hosted on Sony's servers.
Isn't the quote actually "Houston, we've had a problem?"
I know Tom Hanks said it the other way but c'mon submitter.
They are sociopaths and psychotics and we can only hope they die of old age before the country falls headlong into a French Revolution of purges, pogroms, and random bloodletting.
What makes you think their children will be any different? There has been a trend for the ruling class in the US to function equivalently to royalty (Bush I & II, Clintons, Kennedys). I don't see why the next generation of sociopaths will be any better than the current batch.
So now users can call tech support with their mouse plugged into their monitor and say that their "computer doesn't work".
Actually, let's just pause right there. If the monitor has the correct type of outlet for the mouse's plug, why shouldn't the user be able to plug the mouse into the monitor, and have it work fine? It just means that the monitor has to serve as a peripheral hub for the computer.
I don't understand the fixation on making a completely universal plug. It seems good in theory, but what does it actually get us beyond some cable interchanging possibilities and expensive upgrades?
The ability to plug in pretty much any device into your computer without needing to have a special adapter card for it. Do you really want to go back to the bad old days where adding an external peripheral to your computer meant adding a custom adapter card just for that one peripheral?
Here's the devices that I have that plug through USB. Can you imagine what nightmare this would be without an universal plug?
Why aren't we working on better wireless communication so that we don't need wires at all? I can't get my wireless mouse 2 feet away from the receiver, and I sure as hell don't want another cable cluttering things up.
Because we don't all really need wireless stuff.
I've never heard this guy's story before (being from the UK) and was actually looking forward to seeing this film.
Ugh, not me. I find movies like this and "Catch Me If You Can" like listening to fingernails on a blackboard. The "Lucy Show" was another. Lucy began every show with a lie and then spent the next twenty minutes trying to cover it up, the last two minutes getting caught.
1) look at some weird hobby project you did
2) describe it's functionality in the form of a contest description
3) send the contest description to NASA
4) apply your weird hobby project for the contest
5) profit!
Actually ad-blocking is amoral, but not immoral. Try a dictionary. Hell, use google if you have to.

No seriously
