Comment Very little respect (Score 1) 215

Musk is addled by Ambien. The drug's side effects are clearly showing. He is irrational and eratic and has been for a while now.

There was a time I respected him, he completely lost that respect when he attacked one of the brave cave divers in Thailand, his stock manipulations with this private/no private business just add to this dislike.

It's time the Telsa board hand him his golden flamethrower, show him to the door with his belongings in carboard boxes, and under the leadership of a professional, do good things without Musk at the helm.

But the Americans are 100% friends to the hilt

I guess it all depends on if one believes the CIA "stole" Harold Holt, or the Chinese "stole" Harold Holt.

As for 100% friends, nah. 80% at most. The USA would have no qualms in informing the sitting PM of the week about the dirt they hold on him so they get their way with B2 bombers in Darwin and spy stations near Alice.

The Microcode tgz file also contains a license file with the same language

"(v) publish or provide any Software benchmark or comparison test results. "

However, there is also a clause that says if you download the tgz you accept the license automatically. So, the act of downloading to read thatlicense means you have agreed will not publish benchmarks.

And the rest of the world seems to be a little slow on understanding just how much the US population doesn't give two shits about the "international" community.

In fact, the rest of the world has long understood that the US population doesn't know what exists outside it's borders. "Oh, you are Austrian? Koalas are so cute!"

Submission + - SPAM: Google blocks Blender Foundation Videos

lastman71 writes: Since a few days all Blender videos on the official blender video have been blocked worldwide without explanation. After some time youtube told to Blender Foundation to enable ad to unblock the channel.

It looks that the new policy is to enable ad on your video if you want to publish videos.

Trust takes a long time to get, and can be destroyed in an instant. It can be very hard to scrub that tarnish off, especially when dealing with safeguarding people's reputation and IP. I hope one day you can salvage the name, my genuine wishes there... but right now, it's still too soon for many people. Bundling malware is still very fresh in people's mind.

To: All AmericanTLA
From: Cisco CEO

Recently we discovered three vulnerabilities that have meant the unfortunate discovery of one of the many NSA hidden administrative accounts and two of the security bypass accounts for hidden use by the FBI and CIA.

We here at Cisco want to assure our most important customers that we take the discovery of your backdoors very seriously. We are now sending out a patch to the enterprise muppets that includes a new backdoor on port 6969 with the username/password pair admin:nimda

Cisco values our AmericanTLA customers greatly and want to assure you that this unfortunate defect in our backdoor enabling program was only a minor exposure. There were still many hundreds of your usable backdoors undiscovered and at no time was your ability access to private data reduced or compromised.

God Bless America.

Comment With hope. (Score 1) 454

I've actually gone to the trouble of digging up my old account I locked when Dice got involved to say this; "Thanks Whiplash for doing this so soon after you purchased the sites." I am sure a lot of people will watch developments intently. I wish you every success in efforts to salvage the reputations of both sites. It's needed, it's really needed.

Krell Institute. Hmm

Institute for the promotion of computational science, 1609 Golden Aspen Drive, Suite 101. Ames, IA 50010

Sort of sounds like a place that a /. reader might work at.

Let's hope there isn't a rash of pizza deliveries.
