I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. That's how I want to go — laughing so hard my heart explodes and I fall face down in a stack of pancakes.
@GossiTheDog Given that F5 made a VERY big song and dance then that (a) they'd been penetrated by attackers with BRICKSTORM and (b) everyone should patch everything, like, right the fuck now, I would hope nothing too vital would still be vulnerable...

Imagine a computer like a PDP-11 but with more than 3 billion SP4T switches. The switches are various combinations of 'magic' and 'more magic'

this is biology.
