Zero Day by Mark Russinovich.

Apr 18, 2011 16:39

Having been recently laid up with a bum leg, I spent my forced recreational time away from my computer with my Kendal. I'd read the other two new books and was bored so I decided to pick up Zero Day and give it a read ( Read more... )

Was that a virus that had infected the Winblows machine, or a badly-described' malware-injector?

How did the Windows-machine even get in contact with the FCS in the first place?

That's never explained. However, having a brother who's an A&P, they do use laptops to connect into the FCS network (regular Ethernet) to push updates and such to them. They software on the planes isn't Windows, though.

If it were, think of how many 787's would be crashing on a daily basis!!!! The horror!

Is this 'break your lower extremities' season? I've broken my foot, your leg's out, a bunch of other people and furs I know are having leg issues!

Hope you recover soon!

It's just a cellulitus infection. I had an infection in the same leg about 4 years ago. Unfortunately it isn't clearing up like it should. I've been put on bed-rest with leg elevate -- no work.

There goes all my vacation time for MFM and Christmas. *sighs*

:( Sorry you're going to miss MFM. I haven't gone in almost 4 years, now, since I live in California.

I may still make it. Boss is talking about letting me work OT and collect "comp time" even though I'm salary and technically not eligible.

Sorry to hear about your leg! Having seen Granny slowly atrophy away I can only pray that your leg heals up quickly.

Maybe you should file a Workman's Compensation claim....since they supply
everyone with doughnuts every now and then.... ;-)

Using all your vacation on a sickness just seems wrong...

Take care and I still hope to see ya this summer anyway.

Drag your ass out here and visit! We're looking at getting a 3br house to rent and have a nice set of couch furniture that's great for sleeping on. You'll be more than welcome.

And you'll be able to meet Chuck's kid. Damned thing's growing like a weed!!!

I hope your leg gets better soon.
