  • OnPoint: MSD's Leaky Servers, in reply to Rich of Observationz,

    swept away...

    Wait, am I channelling Paula Bennett?

    Not just her, but Gerry "Scorched Earth" Brownlee and Hekia "Pariah" Parata as well - that's quite some torrent we now have gouging the country...

    I see a GCSB employee, agent CX (110) has been
    put on "gardening leave"
    <q>
    What happened to agents 86 and 99?

    The border between chaos and control
    still seems parlous and porous....

    the Police are always head hunting

    Data Ng-ja?

    …visions of Keith running from the Dole office (for that is what it should be called) with a Massively Swollen Dongle

    I see what you did there
    Dole with Ng in = dongle
    nice device…
    ;- )

    this illustrated fable is writing itself in the cloud:
    Dongle Keyhost – tilting at Winzmills…
    The Giant Vulnerability quaked,
    its leopard skin spots changing feebly,
    before the Massively Swollen Dongle,
    are you being servered?
    queried the enabled Filewizard,
    as he began the ancient rites
    alt delete
    alt delete
    backspace
    at issue
    a tissue
    we all crash down….”

  • Field Theory: Man Moments, in reply to Bart Janssen,

    Remembrance of things parsed...

    As an advertisment for Moa shares it highlights the fact that Moa management are very poor at judging quality advertising and getting value for their marketing dollar. Since the beer industry is so very dependent on marketing that tells me that Moa is unlikely to be a successful company.

    It seems many people don't think much about legacy issues, and like many current politicians, I think they are selling themselves, their country and culture short...

    By their actions will we remember them...
    (or not...)

    ...given its ambulance-at-the-bottom-of-the-cliff approach.

    aaah! But the upside of that,
    is that it can't fall any further....

  • OnPoint: The Source, in reply to Michalia Fairydust,

    I implore you to go get some fresh air and get off the computer.

    ...or at least get a negative ion generator...

  • OnPoint: The Source,

    The Press's anoneditorialist weighs in with the Planet Key approach...

    Last week's warning, by one of the people originally arrested during the Urewera raids, was admittedly vague and sought payment for further information, but it was treated with a marked lack of urgency. It was only when the matter became public that the ministry was finally, far too late, stirred into action.

    I notice they omit to mention that all charges against Ira Bailey were dropped...

    but at least they are still outraged...

    The inquiries that have started have a lot of work to do - in finding how the vulnerability could have occurred in the first place and why it was not repaired sooner and, if necessary, apportioning responsibility for these failures. They must also ensure that the lackadaisical attitude towards information security is eradicated.

    and it seems the writer hasn't been keeping up on modern data storage levels

    ...access to a ministry server holding megabytes of confidential material...

    Quelle horreur!
    Megabytes!
    more than a floppy!
    or two...

    The Act Party, that is the party that is the one person,

    John Banks, aka the dead cat?
    Who's gonna have sex with a dead cat?
    But, flogging well that's another story...
