What`s the censored one about?

There is that, I suppose. Would just be nice if this self-centred speech pattern weren’t a thing. I don’t really see it in other English speaking countries, but all the time in US news and media.

Not really?

I don’t believe there was any specific API in use here, for virus scanning or not. I suppose maybe the device driver API? I am not a kernel developer so I don’t know if that’s the right term for it.

Crowdstrike’s driver was loaded at boot and caused a null pointer dereference error, inside the kernel. In userspace, when this happens, the kernel is there to catch it so only the application that caused it crashes. In kernelspace, you get a BSOD because there’s really nothing else to do.

I know Americans like to say “American” instead of “person” all the time, but are you really implying the rest of us deserve to get shot?

God doesn’t want this prick to be a martyr.

When they aren’t victimising each other, that is. Don’t forget, the “persecution” the pilgrims were fleeing was not being allowed to persecute each other as hard as they wanted to.

Let us know how you go :)

That’s what I’m talking about, yeah. And TBH it’s actually closer to the end than the middle. Also I didn’t find it that big of a deal, but your mileage may vary. I hope you can get past what a bunch of others seem to hate because the payoff is so good.

There is a hurdle late in the game which you’ll know when you hit it, just in case you somehow haven’t heard about it. Do try to get past it though, the payoff is worth it.

They only suspended the accounts of people who did it way more than necessary to test it. The exploit process degraded server performance, which got in the way of other testing. It makes sense if you think about it.

That is, according to the post on their forums, exactly what they did. The people who were clearly just doing it to grind money as fast as possible without regard for the effects it had on the servers and without attempting to report the results of this “testing” (because they weren’t testing, or even playing arguably) got a suspension, not a perma ban.

Darn it, you’re right.

Income tax is such a bitch to deal with. I used to support the idea of replacing it with GST/VAT because then I’d not have to deal with it. But then someone pointed out that disproportionately benefits the rich (who mostly just hold wealth rather than spend it) and disadvantages the poor (who cannot avoid paying for things).

So fuck it. Make it all income tax and get rid of the others! :P

(In before this is also a bad idea somehow)

Man, I really liked LoL once, around what they dubbed S2 and maybe still in S3. But then the pace of changes got too much, and also the types of changes. Every now and then I’d think about checking out where it’s at, but now they bundle that awful anticheat malware of theirs that’ll never happen again.

This headline belongs on Not The Onion.

The antagonist of Cataclysm is actually legitimately scary.

It was a strong point of the original and Cataclysm…

I’m not super into cars, but it’s my understanding Holden was a local manufacturer that got bought out by GM? Or if not that, then they were making specifically Australian vehicles despite being part of GM, much like Ford Australia used to. Both ended up shutting down operations down here, so now we have nothing local.

The ATO’s myTax system is pretty great, I hope with this you guys finally get something as nice.
