That sounds like the start of a 'who's on first routine'...

Wu who?
Stop crying SJW....

There's a joke in there somewhere...

Oh please, please let the first malware hack of this be a windscreen full of flying dicks, a-la second life interview!

Oh the irony of your opinion given your nick....

Heh.

"Finding another that's more robust against us is laughably unlikely. "

Cockroaches.

...and suddenly a Trump presidency begins to make sense...

It's already happened, Trump won...

Time to make lemonade from the lemons for the next 4 years....

Pffft, engineers!

I've seen the damn movie - all you need is Matt Damon and some fucking potatoes, Iron Man up already!

I work for the uni and you don't know how correct you are.
 
In response to the malware ransom, they mandated that all employees are now banned from using gmail, yahoo, etc. for work-related stuff because 'they don't control those servers.' Then, in spectacular irony, they then migrated their email system to Office 365, which has proven to be an abysmal user experience, and emails appear to be sent through microsoft's servers anyways - which the uni doesn't control and are SO slow. (It could just be that Office 365 works fine, but that our servers are misconfigured in some way)
 
This recent bit about bittorrent is idiotic as well, as anyone who wants to use the wifi has to login using their IT credentials, so they could easily find out who is downloading what and take action against the infringing individuals instead... but that would require a reasonably competent monkey in the IT dept.

If Clippy was any sort of early indication, I see dark times ahead....

I vote for systemd as our new robotic overlord to bring about a swift delivery to the endtimes.

As the title says, they suck. Hate seeing this recent change at slashdot, the only change on any website that I frequent where I've actually taken the time to email the admin for feedback about anything. Love this site, but hate the videos. Give us a filter, where those of us who hate seeing that crap on the front page can weed it out by default.

I have no idea if he could sue or not, but if this indeed the guy, the $400 million worth of bitcoin he's rumored to have could buy all sorts of retribution!

Man, one of these in one of those little Smart cars.

...tires would be a bit of an issue.

It's been done: http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency/coins/casinocoin

(Not my creation, of course)

They're the next gen of skeets!

I'd claim that the computer was 'standing it's ground', when a stranger approached it bearing a screwdriver in a threatening manner!

Oh, I dunno...
