No thats a different one, and IBM fessed up and replaced the duff ones we had with no questions.
Fujitsu HDD had a failure rate of about 80% outside the warranty period and Fujitsu just went "lalalal fingers in ears we are not listening" and cost us many thousands - we had a couple of hundred fail inside of six months. They knew there was a problem, they just decided to stonewall and completely ignore people.
There are only a couple of companies that I won't flat out work for - Fujitsu is the most egregious of them. Remember the great Fujitsu hard drive debacles of the 2002 era? This was one reason and Horizons is another.
Fujitsu have lied on the stand, have colluded with the Post Office to insert false accounts into the system (they had update access to other peoples accounts and were falsley inserting records at the Post Offices behest) They have perjured on the stand, they have conspired (and succeeded!) in perverting the course of justice, and so far they have gotten away with it.
It is high time that people simply stopped working for them. Any recruiter that calls me wanting to offer a contract is told in no uncertain terms where to go. Refuse to deal with them. Don't consider them for tender. It's not worth your companies good name to contract with these people. They are cheap for a reason - and you can see this now.
Simply cut them off and punish them properly for their decades of failing in this regard. It's your moral duty to do so.
The judge at the Appeal Court has already sent a file to the prosecutors detailing where the errors and effectivly inviting them to go after the relevant people for perjury and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
This story has a lot longer to rumble as well - several of the victims committed sucide and there is always the chance of corporate manslaughter charges being brought.
You've clearly not visited the parts I know and work in then, which over the last 30 years is pretty much most of it.

So you're saying that homeopathy is like.. Tinkerbell?
The original post from Kapersky doensn't make the unhackable claim.
Then again, it doesn't miss the mark by much...
. I also hope itâ(TM)s clear that itâ(TM)s better â" no matter how difficult â" to build IoT/infrastructure devices from the very beginning in such a way that hacking them is practically impossible
The risk isn't just about your data. If a device is roped into a botnet, at the time it's supposed to be delivering a carefully calibrated and timed dosage it's instead DOSing some system for all that it's worth. These devices are surely never tested under "extreme load" scenarios because they're not intended to be used that way.
Well, that's of paramount importance!
It kind of is, actually - since that's the entirety of what their application does.
Because, for example, you hear the song on the radio. Or it's playing during a commercial on TV. Or in any of various other situations where the audio is originating from a place that the device isn't connected to.
While I wasn't at ChefConf this year, I know several people who attended this discussion. By selective quoting, the 'reporter' has completely misrepresented the statement.
The contextually mangled quote used in the article: "“t’s definitely possible,” Russinovich says. “It’s a new Microsoft.”
THe actual quote as far as I can determine: "You never know, it's definitely possible. Crazy stuff happens."
No OSS was harmed in the making of this post.
How much of this is really from his mind, vs just being paid sufficient sums to allow his name to be stamped on it?
So you're suggesting what, a minimum dollar amount of charity before such a thing can be considered worthwhile? Anything less than 10% and you might as well not bother?
I never get tired of this game, and I still go through month long stretches of time where wheneve rI have spare time, I start playing it.
Lately I've discovered nethack 4 - it's an unofficially blessed fork of nethack and some fo the same core developers are contributing to it. The game mechanics and strategies are the same, but the user interface (still all character based by default) is a lot nicer. It also is a complete architectural change to a client-server model - and one fo the benefits of that is that save files have gotten a lot more robust & streamlined.
In any problem, if you find yourself doing an infinite amount of work, the answer may be obtained by inspection.
