Found Kim Jong-un.

I hope they maintain their aircraft better than their computer systems and terminals. It sure doesn't inspire confidence.

These people are just incompetent and should be fired immediately. Up time is a solved problems if you engineer well.

I believe they're London-based. Same concern applies, perhaps more so in the UK.

Good point. So we're screwed either way, may as well have the Olympics. Also, after I actually RTFA the IOC cites the World Health Organization's opinion that it's fine to continue with the Olympic games.

There is the potential for 10's of thousands, or perhaps 100's of thousands of people to get infected in Rio alone. Then when they go home they'll infect others.

Shouldn't we have a say? It can't just be up to the up to the IOC or Brazilian officials. These people are going to come back to our countries and potentially infect everyone else. Tens of thousands of people coming back to our cities with this thing sounds pretty scary to me.

I hope they can do it. The only reason I'm still "plugged in" to cable is because of sports, specifically baseball and American football. Otherwise I'd cancel my cable in a heartbeat. Even now I'm considering it because it does cost quite a bit.

The picture in the TFA looks like it's from the 90's, giant CRT and all. I think that's a freaking Gateway computer one of the guys is on. Weird.

For sure. OWASP has a good guide on prevention. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.owasp.org%2Findex.ph...

I turn off ABP on many websites I frequent. On Wired, however, if I turn it off it takes forever to load and sometimes has additional issues (lock ups, etc.). If they went to something more basic I'd gladly turn it off.

Imagine if you had to watch a TV show with commercials all around it in blinking lights. That's what this is like for me. There must be a better win-win for all parties.

Good point. Yet another "reason" to go after evil "encryption." It's getting ridiculous. I even hear non-techie people talking about it.

Stealing and publishing the information of 1,000 FBI agents including ones that work in intelligence seems like a good way to get 1,000 FBI agents motivated to bust you.

Agreed. It seems like this is becoming a trend everywhere. Is Apple doing similar things? I hate that it's called "telemetry" now. It makes it sound legit to a lot of people.

I recently learned that my vehicle was sending A TON of information to BMW and to a bunch of other places with no way to turn it off. There are laws about things like that in my state. I called them and they said there was nothing they could do about it. Next I'm checking my Ford.

Cool. That could microwave your balls though.

I'm so sick of the 15,000 wires that break, wall warts (whoever came up with that name should be given warts), and all that crap. A matt to place things on or some magnetic thing or whatever would be great. Of course, it has to still leave room for my girls to use the cases they want and bling out their phones.
