The DMZ

It is interesting though. The CEO - formerly sales/marketing guy - sets the tone using the parts he finds interesting, i.e. the fact that they were investing in building the product back then means nothing to "taking it seriously", until the marketing is on board.

Simon

i lub blink-182

AviD

now that the CEO is an ex-techie, I imagine it will reverse (eventually).

i.e. "taking seriously" can be judged by product investment, not marketing.

Terry Chia

@AviD Honestly? MS is on the right track. Especially when it comes to catering for developers.

BizSpark, Azure, excellent development environment.

AviD

I agree.

Simon

HELP I'M SURROUNDED BY WINDOWS PREACHERS

Terry Chia

4:00 PM

Especially since you can host Linux on Azure now.

AviD

well the developers part was always there, but now they are bringing the rest up to speed. Finally.

Terry Chia

As an aside, I wonder how many large web companies have their stack primarily on Windows. Stack Exchange is the only one I know about.

AviD

was about to say Trello, but they were a non-MS anomaly.

Terry Chia

@AviD Well, Trello has Joel. :P

Just like SE does.

Oh wait, Trello is JS isn't it?

AviD

4:04 PM

yeah, thats what I was saying - its actually NOT ms, even though the rest of the company is - was - MS based.

"right tool for the job"

Terry Chia

@AviD Well, fogcreek makes products.

I was more wondering about the webapp sort of things.

AviD

@TerryChia and cloudy

I could be mistaken, but I think Atlassian is MS based.

Terry Chia

Imo, if there are many companies like SE using MS products MS should market it more.

AviD

would be a good Quora question though.

@TerryChia I think you hang out in the wrong crowds.

Terry Chia

@AviD That would involve actually signing up and using Quora.

@AviD Probably...

Heh.

@Simon What's wrong with Windows?

AviD

@DavidFreitag dont get him started, he might actually attempt to answer that

Simon

@DavidFreitag It freezes, automatically restarts to update by default, the UI sucks balls, it takes years to kill a frozen process.

@AviD YEAH.

AviD

@Simon I'm curious if you've even used a Windows machine in this decade.

David Freitag

Which is funny because for the first time in a while I'm on Linux right now.

Simon

@AviD Every single weekday.

David Freitag

4:51 PM

lube 13.10, to be exact.

Simon

Also, did you ever try to dual boot on UEFI?

Fucking. Nightmare.

David Freitag

I triple booted on UEFI.

@Simon You just have to learn how to put windows int its place

Simon

@DavidFreitag Uninstalled?

AviD

Haters gonna hate.

David Freitag

@Simon On GPT

Simon

4:58 PM

@DavidFreitag So you were not using Grub?

David Freitag

@Simon Grub 2 supports GPT

Simon

I see.

David Freitag

Silly donut using Grub legacy.

Simon

lulz

David Freitag

5:25 PM

Maaaaaaaaaaaaan this whole five hour gap between classes is seriously boring.

Simon

@DavidFreitag You kidding, right? Go hunt da ladies.

David Freitag

@Simon It's the fall semester, the only 'ladies' around here are fresh out of high school. I'd rather shoot myself in... any random location, really.

Simon

@DavidFreitag Oh I feel ya, young ladies tend to be annoying as hell.

David Freitag

@Simon It's not even the young part, they're just so immature. It's because of them that the fall semester is mostly morning classes and the campus is crowded as shit.

Simon

They're just way too loud most of the times.

Rory Alsop

5:33 PM

@AviD not very articulate...

I hadn't seen this before. Wondering where the data comes from. Looks cool though: map.ipviking.com

Gilles

@TerryChia They make good hardware. They shouldn't have tried to get into the software business.

Nick

5:52 PM

Ok chrome is derping up ... why is every webpage crashing o.O

Okay chroem does not like more than 2 seperate windows open .... weeiiiird

David Freitag

god damn the wifi in this place sucks

Simon

@DavidFreitag It's a sign that you gotta go meet some peeps.

David Freitag

6:07 PM

@Simon No, more people will only exacerbate the issue.

Simon

wat

David Freitag

There are no wireless routers in the school, only a billion access points using very low broadcast power (so he range is about twenty feet, and yes there is an access point every fifty feet or so) and they are all broadcasting on the same channel.

Simon

The point of meeting people is to not use the access points you donut.

David Freitag

Basically, only one person every fifty feet gets good internet, the rest of the people get shafted

@Simon I know people, people are boring. I'd rather just sit here in my quiet conference room and program.

Simon

@DavidFreitag Sounds like you only know boring people.

David Freitag

6:11 PM

@Simon well i do know your mom

Simon

I'm disapoint.

Simon

Xander

8:43 PM

@Simon You're actually catching me up.

@LucasKauffman Not done yet. Sorry for the disappoint. That's what I'm really best at. It'll come sooner or later. The weekend at the latest.

@Simon I think you've added 15 or so since we last discussed, I don't think I've added 10.

Simon

@Xander Yeah I've been flagging quite a bit.

Lucas Kauffman

Simon

"Image Not Found" is a cool pub name.

Lucas Kauffman

Simon

"No #yolo" is dumb as nobs.

Q: Wordpress Brute Force Attacker knows Admin Username -

I've noticed a brute force attempt on several different Wordpress installs that know the right admin user name for those respective sites... It seems very strange that the hacker would be able to find the username but not the password... Furthermore, I've checked these Wordpress builds, and I ...

Isn't this as broad as a woman's closet?

Xander

8:57 PM

@Simon Not really. It seems to be specific to an apparent WordPress information disclosure issue that is leaking the/an admin username.

Simon

i wuznt sure meng

Xander

@Simon Looks like it's probably this: wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-username-exposed

Simon

WordPress is for donuts anyway.

AJ Henderson

@Simon hey now, them be fighten words

Xander

@AJHenderson Well, it's kind of true. Not to say that I don't use/recommend WordPress, because I do, but only because the alternatives are worse. It is written in PHP, so it's got 2-1/2 strikes against it to start.

Anyone know if there's an answer for this, or are non-native/built-in tools the only solution?
