This one that too me a bit to get. There are people out there that need reading glasses but are to vain to get them. So they set the resolution to 600x800. Great the can read it but stuff is off the screen. So when you ask them to click on some thing it's not there. Since you are looking at the screen in normal resolution it does not occur to you to ask the user to scroll. The user is pissed at you cause there is nothing for them to click on.
My favorite. This lady calls up and says her DSL is not working. I asked her the usual stuff. Then I ask her does she have dial tone. she said no. I ask her is there any construction going on she said yes. they are digging up the street.It's not uncommon for some ass hole to just dig and hit phone and cable lines. I told her she would have call the pone company so that they can repair the line. She said no I want my DSL fixed now.

I've seen that as an issue on windows and linux. Your third party vend picks up their tools and leave. Now what. Lets say it's open source. Now you can hire some to work it. Problem is they find out the last two versions were shit and have to start from beginning. At that point you are not commissioning a rewrite but writing the program from the ground up. Now do you fix it, hire some to write custom software which over the years get fucked up or do you move on to a new program.
the can but the chose not to.
Just one example.
fail2ban scans log files (e.g. /var/log/apache/error_log) and bans IPs that show the malicious signs -- too many password failures, seeking for exploits, etc. Generally Fail2Ban is then used to update firewall rules to reject the IP addresses for a specified amount of time, although any arbitrary other action (e.g. sending an email) could also be configured. Out of the box Fail2Ban comes with filters for various services (apache, courier, ssh, etc).
Fail2Ban is able to reduce the rate of incorrect authentications attempts however it cannot eliminate the risk that weak authentication presents. Configure services to use only two factor or public/private authentication mechanisms if you really want to protect services.
I just don't get why folks at el reg Don;t like trump. trump is what the world needs. Trump represents what is best about America. Just Like Boris Johnson represents the best of the UK. Wait trump and Johnson. they would be the perfect ticket in the US. Trump and Johnson. Grab the world by the pussy.
So you have never heard of life line then? The Mobiles are an extension of life line. Your entire comment is bull shit. How many people do you know have a land line? Most people I know don't and they are not poor.

Oojh look they do sponsor land lines and look even internet.
Oh they can come back with some thing called asset forfeiture. That's when they take every thing you own and it's up to you to prove you earned it legitimately. See a fine can be appealed and is not due till the final verdict is in. With asset forfeiture the states keeps unless you win.
