Id I were in the age group they're now hiring, I'd have to think twice before even applying. They probably won't keep these new hires around after they reach a certain point in salary. Yet, the old guys in charge will hang around forever and collect their mega-dollar bonuses. Definitely a rigged system for a company that seems to be dying slowly.

As many as 100,000 IBM staff axed in recent years as Big Blue battles to reinvent itself from IT's 'old fuddy duddy'
If you could forget the $125 from Equifax and just take the free credit monitoring, that would be great – FTC
New UK Home Sec invokes infosec nerd rage by calling for an end to end-to-end encryption

Satellites with lasers and machine guns coming! China's new plans? Trump's Space Force? Nope, the French
He's coming home, he's coming... Hutchins' coming home: British Wannacry killer held in US on malware dev rap set free by judge
Re: He is damn lucky
Too often people are judged on their actions done when they were young and naïve. If the law is involved, often their potential is shut down and they never move forward. In this case, the judge was truly an impartial judge and not a political hack in that position. I wish both Hutchin's and the judge well as we need more like them.
Very refreshing to see a high profile case go well instead of being influenced by politics.
Rise of the Machines hair-raiser: The day IBM's Dot Matrix turned
Sleeping Tesla driver wonders why his car ploughed into 11 traffic cones on a motorway

Backdoors won't weaken your encryption, wails FBI boss. And he's right. They won't – they'll fscking torpedo it
Ok... they can have their damned backdoors if...
IF they (all government employees and elected officials and offices) backdoor all their computers first. That would seem fair. Oh.. don't forget "tax returns" and head guy's computers and phones.
I'm beginning to think that this isn't "law-enforcement motivated" but political to shut down those who oppose such things as human rights, free speech, etc.
Meet the super-speedy white dwarf binary system that's going to grav-wave our world
This confuses me....
Astronomers have discovered the fastest-known eclipsing white dwarf pair yet, with the dead stars whizzing around each other every 6.91 minutes,
If they're white dwarfs, then obviously they're still "burning" and not dead yet. Or is there a definition of "dead" that I missed.
Airbus A350 software bug forces airlines to turn planes off and on every 149 hours
Low Barr: Don't give me that crap about security, just put the backdoors in the encryption, roars US Attorney General
Add a rider to the bill for this....
Simple and will cost the government a small fortune. If the government approved encryption is hacked, your bank account cleaned out (or other injury in the legal sense caused), the government is responsible for costs and penalties.
Wait... the government won't agree and won't pay. F*** it. Just say no to Barr's plans.
Re: Big Business vs. Individuals
I think the "or what" category applies. He knows full well what he's doing and why. What the clown doesn't realize is that if works for the Trump administration then it will also work for administration Barr doesn't agree with.
Stupid? Probably just a loyal lapdog idiot.
Braking bad? Van with £112m worth of crystal meth in back hits cop car at police station
Re: I wonder...
What would have happened if they just stopped and got out of the van, apologised, asked if everyone was ok and exchanged insurance details.
I would believe the van still would have been searched. Seems to be pretty common lately. Cops pull you over, look around while talking and ask "what's in the package" (if one is visible) followed by "mind if I have a look?" Here in the States, they will also ask if you have any firearms in the car.
Houston, we've had a legend: Boffin behind NASA Mission Control signs off for final time
Equifax to world+dog: If we give you this $700m, can you pleeeeease stop suing us about that mega-hack thing?
Settlement is BS
Most of the money will used for "credit protection services" from guess who?
I believe Widen is right. It's about time execs start taking some heat to more than their bonuses. But it that happens, they'll end up at the so-called "country club prison". Maybe Alcatraz needs to be re-opened for executive miscreants?
You'll never guess what US mad lads Throwflame have strapped to a drone (clue: it does exactly what it says on the tin)
Operation Desert Sh!tstorm: Routine test shoots down military's top-secret internets
Re: don't wait 20 mins !
Government SOP where "sensitive systems" are concerned. Keep the authorized personnel on different continent, in a different time zone, without 24 hour coverage.
I'm surprised the person who had the password wasn't required to fly to the site. Seems to be the way government usually works.
Guess who reserved their seat on the first Moon flight? My mum, that's who
We don't mean to poo-poo this, but... The Internet of S**t has literally arrived thanks to Pampers smart diapers
Re: So the already exorbitant price of pampers go up...
Whatever happened to cloth diapers? Rinse out the solids in the toilet, put them in the diaper hamper until there's enough to run through the washer and dryer. Oh wait... those were early recycling items. Not good for the current hipsters who complain about all the trash in the ocean, etc. yet still use such things as plastic straws and cups instead of paper, eat takeaway instead of cooking and running the dishwasher (or doing them by hand) etc.
Just an observation but babies usually start crying and screaming with the diaper is full.
Bulgaria hack: 20-year-old infosec whizz cuffed after 'adult population's' finance deets nicked
Rust in peace: Memory bugs in C and C++ code cause security issues so Microsoft is considering alternatives once again
Re: Eh?
No thought as to the capabilities of the developers they employ?
I personally believe that is the root of the problem. Take a six-months to one-year course in "programming" and suddenly you can make some good money.
I've made my share of mistakes but usually managed to catch them. This new crop that I've dealt with off and on lately seem to ignore errors and logically thinking.

Turning it off and on again IN SPAAACE! ISS animal-tracker kit needs oldest trick in the book
Experts: No need to worry about Europe's navigation sats going dark for days. Also: What the hell is going on with those satellites?!
Re: Definitely Russian or Chinese hacking
Maybe not hacking as such. There's been several times over the years when the GPS systems were set to do this intentionally. The cryptographic signal for military use was still dead on but the rest, not so much with maybe a mile (max) skewing.
Maybe someone leaned on the switch and someday we'll see a "Who Me" article on it.
Google nuked tech support ads to kill off scammers. OK. It also blew away legit repair shops. Not OK at all
Re: Problems
Cold calls are a scammer's stock in trade. Think "this is Microsoft support and you have a virus."..... As for ads, I tell people to ignore the ads unless they know the company. If they need something like repair, Google for "repair shops near me". Then visit the shop and ask to talk to a customer as reviews aren't always real reviews on Google. Then again, would anyone take their car to a repair shop they know nothing about? Use a building contractor they've never heard of? Around here, we also get the house painters who knock on the door offering to paint our house.
SpaceX reveals chain of events that caused the unplanned disassembly of Crew Dragon capsule
It just wasn't meant toupee: Bloke nicked at Barcelona Airport with €30k of blow under wig
Yes, I've been swotting up on court evidence in advance, says Autonomy founder Mike Lynch
Oracle told to warp 9 out of court: Judge photon-torpedoes Big Red's Pentagon JEDI dream
They're only out of the running for the main contract....
There will be, if government and contractors run true to form, a whole pile of sub-contracts going out with the main contractor basically just sitting back, counting the money and barking at those sub-contractors actually doing the work. So Oracle may get some that money.
US border cops' secret racist Facebook group a total disgrace, says patrol chief. She should know, she was a member
I don't have to save my work, it's in The Cloud. But Microsoft really must fix this files issue
Re: As it is traditional to pick apart these stories
We still have user training for new software, serious upgrades, etc. There's still the 10% (usually manglement) that it never, ever gives them a clue. We always get calls that "this doesn't look like it used to".... sometimes an hour after they walk out of training.
Icon.... fire is needed for these sorts.
