Re: Australia has always done things a little “differently”

Or maybe the Australians were worried about someone using Qantas computers to break encryption...

There's aways one...

Who didn't R T F A....

ASML also assured us there are no export restrictions on the Lego TWINSCAN EXE:5000.

The problem is...

Until people learn good IT hygiene...

When you have staff that are exhausted, over-worked and under-resourced with Windows 7 machines in front of them, this will continue to happen.

Especially when the general attitude is 'the IT department are supposed to stop these sorts of things from happening, so it's their fault, not mine'...

I seem to recall some of the original ransomware criminals promised not to touch healthcare systems, but that seems to be ignored more and more now...

Personally, I think anyone attacking healthcare systems should be strung up by the unmentionables and left to rot.

Anyone attacking childrens healthcare systems I have no words for. Lower than low.

Plain text? Are you mad? Double ROT-13 at the very least!

I just pulled these out of my arse

Congratulations, you have just passed the middle management initiation!

Re: "letting the user scroll the archive of snapshots"

Where did you get the script for the Microsoft Copilot+ PC ads from?

Glad to hear you got it sorted.

Re: Collide at insane speeds

Surely this FCC will be Plaid? (what are we going to call it once it's built? It won't be the Future Collider...)

Seriously though, it often strikes me that we haven't 'discovered' Dark Matter because we don't actually know what we're looking for or how to detect it despite some of the best boffins on the planet using all their collective brain cells to try.

I presume

It's to do with speak and speaking, which should in theory etymologise speach.

Given the corrent state of the economy, maybe the phrase should be exchanging your labour for cost of living vouchers

Use a script carefully

I've just taken a look, it's now up to 17920 entries, BUT some of them are in 0.x.x.x subnet...

And there's at least one in 10.x.x.x.

Sanitise the list before using it.

Re: Plummeting sperm whale?

I came to this comment just as it had received 42 upvotes...

I was going to say

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha...

But you basically beat me to it.

Re: around ten meters worth

American ones I expect.

Was that your flying or the game?
