OnPoint: MSD's Leaky Servers, in reply to Kumara Republic,
The sound of an organisation trying to save both its arse and its face at once.
And ending up with people finding the two indistinguishable?

I know that it's wicked to draw one's jollies from another's cognitive disability, but what the hell.
Actually, you're right and I'm dropping it.

Maybe she could have a go on X-Factor NZ...
No! She'd get confused about the X and do the wrong kind of audition. No one need ever see that again.

I've never seen this blogger before and I trust I never read her again.
I've seen far, far too much of her. I have managed to blank it out, though.

Come now surely you've changed the default password on your router Ben!
I have, but not the WPA key, which is printed on the router.

TWO YEARS the bastards!
Ouch. Mind you, I feel like I've been waiting 20 years for this.

Yeah those are some sharp plans they've just pushed out. However did you read the T&C's !?:
Yup, a reasonable usage thingo. I'm on the very, very cheapest plan in the long haul, so it doesn't apply to me, since I've got a bandwidth cap. I'm not a big volume downloader, but I do want it to be fast. So effectively I've got a 4 month holiday from all telco costs, and after that, they're halved. To boot, I have a fiber connection in my home that took two techos a day to install, and I'm getting 30Mbps down. Their router is way better than the Telecom one, it actually reaches all of my property. All up, pretty stoked.
Also apologizing for the threadjack(s).

Even luckier! The installation and gear was free, as is the first three months usage! Orcon rockz!

DECT (compromised but very specialist) and DSS (secure if implemented correctly)
Copper cable running out of property that carries the call to the provider...not very secure. I'd be glad I've finally got fiber, if I had anything to hide. Then again, breaking in through a window and looking at the WPA key is hardly rocket science. While there, absolutely everything I've got could be compromised. Cracks me up to be super concerned about how many bits of security one has, and how expensive it would be to crack. A crowbar just doesn't cost very much.

The condition where someone says a Jaffa packet is a million dollars was sufficiently wtf that the next step was unclear. My guess is several people were told about it and they all figured someone else was dealing with it.
He attempted it multiple times, something that may not have been made clear at the time. For several weeks, he'd do it, and then a few days later he'd tell me that it hadn't cleared, that his balance had gone back down, and I'd say "told you so". Which suggests that the obvious process of simply cancelling rather than confirming the amount in the package was working most of the time. The one time it didn't, however...
