You people like to lie, don't you? All covid vaccines underwent trials before given to the public. Those trials are how we know of any potential side effects. The ones you people keep claiming were never known.

You must be one of those who claims there's never been a double-blind study for vaccines even though they've been done. This article, published before covid hit, lays out the lies people like you put out and why they're lies.

And here's the results of a double-blind study on the effectiveness of the MMRV vaccine from 2016. How timely considering Kennedy lies about the measles vaccine.

Meanwhile in America the bleeding hearts want âoejusticeâ for a botched lethal injection death, and guilt-trip society when our Military wants to put a mass murderer in front of a firing squad. Pathetic.

And give pardons to the terrorists who attacked the Capitol in an attempt to overthrow the election, attacked police and put one in the hospital after he was repeatedly beaten and tasered, and destroyed and stole government property.

Submission + - Government web sites go dark after severe PHP vulnerabilities disclosed (reuters.com)

smooth wombat writes: PHP disclosed two critical vulnerabilities in their programming language and urged web site operators to immediately apply the fix. As a result, government web sites in Europe and elsewhere temporarily went dark on Wednesday as operators worked to protect their systems.

Dane Knecht, the chief technology officer of Web and cloud security firm Cloudflare (NET.N), opens new tab, said that attacks were emerging and Cloudflare was updating its firewall rules as a stopgap measure.

"We are seeing early attacks emerging and are updating mitigations as new vectors show up. This is a STOPGAP only. Patch as soon as PHP releases the update," he said on X.

Officials have said that all PHP versions from PHP 5 onward could be affected, although PHP has not yet disclosed which versions are vulnerable.

I don't understand that instead of spending a few million on improving the code and the algorithmd they are instead spending billions on infrastructure?

The same could be said for computers. Why spend all the money on increasing processor or RAM speed or new video cards when you could just update the code behind the OS and software? We'd still be using 486 machines!

Its good for everyone, including Spacex. But because its Musk you have to find a reason to call it bad. Get some perspective.

This is the guy who installed an unsecured Starlink terminal on top of the White House, then uploaded the entire Social Security database to an unsecured cloud environment somewhere in the world.

We have the perspective. Do you?

it's been over 3 decades, even the most tech challenged/uninterested user surely understands by now that personal files and the web are very different contexts?

Nope. We have people who have no idea where their files are saved. They can't say whether it's OneDrive, their desktop, or a network drive.

This doesn't even touch on the issue of people, particularly the younger ones, not knowing what a directory is or how to set up a directory structure to organize their files.

Search has only exasperated this. Just type something in and waste time seeing what comes up rather than going directly to it. This includes printers. The number of tickets we get each week from people saying they "searched" for their printer and can't find it is truly staggering.

So no, people do not understand the difference between local files and the web.

Comment And the mouse-click issue? (Score 3, Insightful) 91

There is still the issue of mouse-clicks not registering. It could be anywhere. You click in a text box on a web page and the mouse doesn't get put there. Click an option in a piece of software and nothing happens. Try to double-click and the software/file doesn't open.

At this point I click something once then hit Enter about half the time since I know that will work.

This has been happening since Windows 10 so it's not specific to 11.

And stoning you to death would be a blast. We could get the kids to join in. Put it on the socials so your disappointed family can see it.

The Bible has several instances where stoning is justified.

So don't worry about Sharia law. We already have the Christian Taliban trying to enforce their cult on everyone.
