Grant: it needs to be updated obviously
Grant: hehe
Sandra: obs
Grant: obs?
Sandra: short for obviously
Grant: obviously.

Right.

Ironic, I thought.

I was running down a likely false-positive virus event and ended up here.

This is McAfee’s page documenting a piece of malware called ‘Fake Alert’. Below the documentation is an advertisement that is a fake alert, for crapware. Way to go McAfee!

Verisign’s SiteMinder service was an abuse of their role and broke the internet.

But I would pay a DNS forwarder to redirect malware domains faster than they can be kited.

Someone give malwaredomains.com some cash. Host it in Amazon’s cloud, follow Cloudmark and give away content while selling integration software to Enterprises.

Invest in good IP space, something as memorable as 4.2.2.x

Google and Cisco are possible vendors, I predict Google will think of this first. They are naturally interested in the metadata. Right now they get your search terms, e-mail, IM, map addresses, and more – why wouldn’t they want to know every single domain name you resolve in real time?

Grant: neat, check out ext4
Will: gg
Will: tebibyte (TiB)
i hate that nomenclature
Grant: it’s a lot of porn eh?
Will:
Grant: well we’ve lived through every generation so we won’t have a problem
imagine being a budding nerd in 10 years
they’ll learn “byte” and “TB” and oh fuck it
followed by some stupid PEMDAS type acronym to memorize
Will: lmao
i’ve never heard of PEMDAS
i had to google it
Grant:
Will: in my day we had no fancy acronyms for order of operations
Grant: your day was after my day.

@philip_daigle congratulations Philip!

@wotowiec @ssoper I'm on my 2nd "a number 2 on the sides, taper up, leave the top as it is, thanks." I think I'm acting out. It's a phase.

@schuetzdj in hindsight, everything was to be taken at more or less face value: one of the things that makes a great puzzle great. =] #DBIR

@christopherkunz nice work! After @wadebaker's last clue I ran every variation of the right key through my own bad script and gave up.

@marcusjcarey thanks, I'm very much enjoying the Bay Area. The return of @dojosec/@dojocon streams is great news, I look forward to 'em.

I should use Entourage's auto-capitalization of the first word after e.g. to break myself of using latinate abbreviations. Instead: rage.

@kathybarnett way to go Kath!

Yes, yes, of course, but what is the zeroth law of the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote? http://goo.gl/i2Jz

@alexhutton I cut out the cover's circles on a full print out of the #DBIR with a razor and tried the grille-cipher approach. #nbioahd

The body language of appearing to be lost or have forgotten something is as effective as mind control. So is its inverse.
