Well, I just upgraded, and openssl version says: OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014. So, is it vulnerable?

where you have to handle the typical asshole IT manager, who in turn has to handle his asshole manager and so on. I'm an admin in a small company, above me is my boss, and above him the owner. They just don't give a shit until everything works fine. So no, I don't consider my job extremely stressful, my users are software developers, they seem more stressed to me than I am. Not posting anonymously, 'caue I don't give a shit either.

What do you mean? Skydrive has a 2GB limit on filesize (just found this out the other day, when trying to store a 3 GB encrypted backup there). On Dropbox the only limit is your available storage. (I have 10 GB:) ) Skydrive has no differential sync. Change 1 byte in a 2GB file, it uploads the whole thing again. Dropbox breaks down the files in (I think) 4 MB pieces, uploads only what changed. I'm in no way affiliated with Dropbox, I just think it's more flexible. It's true that Skydrive offers more free storage space though.

I have actually installed it in the meantime to try out. It actually has the Windows 8 style start screen, but no real "Metro apps" installed. The new server manager runs on the desktop, but it has Metro-style controls. Horrible.

That's a screenshot from Windows server 2008 R2. Check the image caption: "The old Server Manager on Windows Server 2008 R2, for comparison purposes."

... it will need Metro-style management tools!

Yeah, QuickTime integrates much better with the system, especially on Windows.

I think this is the root of the problem here, he chose the wrong filesystem to share between the three OSes. Sadly there are not too many choices. FAT32 is the only one natively supported by all three, with its well known limitations. He might have been better with NTFS though, using NTFS-3G on Linux and OS X, but that has some performance hit. There's really no perfect solution for this kind of problem.

Yes dumbass, we have Internet. It's dirt cheap and very fast. I pay less than 10 euros for an FTTB connection which goes up to 100 Mbps. At least we are good at something.

Well maybe, but the average user at some point will usually turn it on to get some p2p software working properly, it is easier than setting up the ports manually. The average home user also doesn't read security blogs or their router's documentation for that matter :)

Not that hard, because the skype client will automatically open ports via upnp if it is possible, and that is the case for most home users. What is harder, find users which are running the skype client almost all the time.

Let's hope the same thing will not happen to them.

This guy represents the average romanian "hacker" perfectly. Romanian readers might agree that the cocalar term might also be applicable.
Oh yes, and "shoarec" means mouse. :))

PS. Yes, I live in Romania.
