https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/02/2 ... fins_find/ -- great, you TRUST your instruments
to be giving you the right raw data, but you find out later that makes you question their output in the first place...

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/0 ... m_phoenix/ -- "Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM." And I thought
the $2billionCAD gun registry was a fustercluck.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/0 ... ery_nukes/ -- great CGI of these "super" weapons. Let's see them in actual
action... oh wait... maybe not.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/0 ... r_auction/ -- 6million + VAT. DAYUM!! Wish I had
that amount lying around.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/0 ... _a_wobble/ -- 123reg is down, last backup found was from Aug 2017. Worst dataloss I dealt with
at work was the Change Management system was down for a week and a half, and the best they could recover was from 3weeks prior, counting from the
date Change Management came back...

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/0 ... ng_horror/ -- HAHAHAHAHA! Just, HAHAHAHAH!

https://citizenlab.ca/2018/03/bad-traff ... key-syria/ -- a fair bit of "we don't know if
this is even deployed," but technically interesting to see how to use HTTP307 and layer 7 payload matching to REALLY fsck with someone's internet
connection.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/1 ... it_on_him/ -- 'rm -rf'... yeah... not
enough internet facepalms for this one...

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/1 ... 0_roadmap/ -- "Notes and Domino can rise again."
Just put a fscking stake into them both and leave them buried PLEASE!! *Source : did Lotus notes for nearly 4
years, then dropped out of it till 2014 and had to keep using it since. To say I _HATE_ Notes for everything
including email and databases with a passion is putting it mildly.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/1 ... rug_habit/ -- £200 for an Apple
Mac... which at last check is ~$338.87CAD or or ~$268.17USD. Doesn't say what make/model of Mac, but I'm wondering
if that's being a bit generous, price-wise.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/1 ... ding_soon/ -- again, fascinating to hear stories like this where kit lasts longer than its supposed to. Bonus if it does something that makes you stop, look up, and wonder...

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/1 ... oeing_737/ -- 10,000 of these babies, interesting milestone.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/1 ... id_ticket/ -- I don't know what's wierder, the guy's name "Meow-Ludo Disco Gamma Meow-Meow," or what he did to a transit pass.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/19/who_me/ -- “"It was our main router. An old, clunky Cisco that took eight minutes to reboot."
Customers noticed rather quickly. "I had never seen 30 primary rate interface cards light up with phone calls at the same time before.
It was like someone added an extra sun to the room,”" YARG!

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/1 ... tal_crash/ -- Self-driving (Uber) car:1, Human:0. Not that I'm going
hysterical about a "rise of Skynet" on this. I definitely do look forward to finding out what the circumstances were that lead to this.

From cam footage into the car and out of the car... suffice to say A TOTALLY avoidable accident and a TOTAL Darwin Award, AI or no AI *eyerolls*

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/2 ... rrier_sdn/ -- intercarrier SDN, "not only do two network operators need sufficient technical
interoperability and integration to see into each others' networks, they also need to trust each other." Idunno, do you actually TRUST someone else to
touch your kit and not bugger it up?

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/2 ... he_future/ -- interesting article, especially from the TANSTAAFL perspective. Makes you wonder.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/2 ... asses_out/ -- "smart wine," huh? Buuuuuut abject lesson in that old wiseism I heard about "you know a technology's matured when the guys upstairs are salesman rather than engineers," with the "vendor-lockin" bulls**t a typical money grab move of this.

...was either Fumoffu.org or the board itself down earlier this week on Sunday? Tried to bring it up, but couldn't reach it?

Caught Pacific Rim Uprising : enjoyed it, but didn't kick over the top. Other than the returning cast, with the exception of Mako,
everyone was pretty forgettable. The "big robots fighting big monsters in the streets of Tokyo" admittedly put one BIG smile on
my face, next to the shot with the Gundam in the street -- a Jaeger v a Gundam fight would've been one heckuva way to
end the movie on a meta level. I also would've liked that fight to have been alittle more about a combined-arms style of fight
rather than more of the same streetbrawling as we saw in the 1st film. Something like what we saw in EVA; the icing on
the cake would've been seeing a Jaeger-class sniper in action, with all the power of Japan in its fingertips for the final killshot.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/2 ... eek_early/ -- who says IT types don't have a sense of humor?

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/2 ... the_stack/ -- with Meltdown and Spectre so hot topics, interesting little
perspective on things. Specifically "If until now we thought of security as exploiting vulnerabilities in code, this goes to prove
that this code can run much deeper than we thought."

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/2 ... _hamilton/ -- was going to win, but the tech said to do
something else and I lost...

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/2 ... hypercard/ --- Ahh, HyperCard, wonder if I can still
find that old HyperCard game I did back in highschool.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/2 ... on_street/ -- "Honey, I'll take out the garbage... maybe
later"

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/2 ... _showdown/ -- little bit of an Afterwards to that brouhaha with the FBI demanding
Apple backdoor / hack its own technology.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/29/on-call/ -- "fired a user / customer." If only I was allowed to do that...

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/2 ... al_museum/ -- mail retrieved 77 years later... Wow!

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/29/iomart_down/ -- HAHAHAHA! Always amusing to laugh at at an IT outage not
affecting your own kit. The anigif from Back To The Future 2 is just pure comedy GOLD!!
