This was an absolutely fascinating read, the paper isn't too dense for a layman to read and understand. Finished reading the paper and it definitely makes space travel seem more within our grasp.

Of course, if your stereotype is correct, this does beg the question about who decided it was a good idea to GIVE 'the kids' all these trophies.

That'd be quite the technological feat considering they don't currently have cameras built in.

Anyone got a non-paywalled link to this story?

Ah. Thanks. So the idea is to stop the user before they get that far, I suppose. Doesn't this hark back to "If the attacker has local access, it's already game over"?

Forgive the naive question, but would 2FA completely mitigate this attack, assuming that the org trying to access a key vault did not have access to the 2FA device?

Funny you should say that. Here in the UK we're three episodes into a Handmaid's Tale TV adaptation. It's surprisingly good and you're right, it's excellent TV, even if I found the book itself quite a struggle back

Capital and Heart are privately owned and operated stations. The BBC Charts usually air on Radio 1 I think on Friday, so we will have to see if they opt to play it then, though I strongly suspect they will not.

I worked somewhere where the behaviour described in OP's post happened. It was just lighthearted. We worked in desk 'bays', so someone sat next to the unlocked PC would have visuals on what the prankster was doing on the mach

Yes - the first year of University was designed as a catch-up to those who hadn't previously had exposure to this sort of thing and weed out the coasters. I must stress this was a single question on a single first-year exam. Not repres

Yes, to those who had studied it was fairly obvious what the solution was, but the phrasing was such that to those who were just trying to wing it failed miserably.

At University we had a question around this type of 'transfer'. I can't remember how it went exactly but we were to calculate the bandwidth of a jumbo plane carrying x amount of hard drives with y capacity to z destination. G

We didn't have a chance at PR. Highly emotive[1] and ridiculous[2] campaigning from the No side saw to that, much in the same way as it saw to Brexit. [1] https://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Admin/BkFill/

Ah yes, like the 'current polling' at the time suggested the UK would definitely remain in the EU, or that President Clinton was a surefire thing.

This is another reason scalpers are bad. Botting the process gives an edge in both speed and tenacity over legitimate fans sitting in the queue. Ticket allotment limits are only affecting legitimate users, as those scalpers who use bots can

Well, why should the fan who is able to pay less money miss out in favor of the fan who has more? Are people fundamentally more deserving for having more disposable income? The Artist (ie the provider of the 'value') is not making
