The court asked both Oracle and Google 4 months later about relationships with people who comment on the case. In my case he was fine with the fact it had been disclosed, but he rejected Google's evasive answer and then they were forced to admit they had funded, via a 3rd party, Techdirt's Mike Masnick.

    Retro addons: Big box o SCSI part 2
    [09:38] schestowitz[TR]
    [09:38] schestowitz[TR]

    SyQuest created removable media hard drives, you might think of the Iomega Zip drive when you think of these, but SyQuest goes back further. When I was younger I had a SyQuest EZ135 drive which, as the name suggests, uses 135MB cartridges. I thought this was going to win over the Zip drive a the time. I was of course, very wrong, and ended up with a couple of Zip drives by the time I was in [09:38] schestowitz[TR] university.

    [09:38] schestowitz[TR]

    The drive inside this SCSI box is an SQ5110C, which takes these huge cartridges.

    Introducing PCVARK and their malicious ad blockers
    [09:49] schestowitz[TR]
    [09:49] schestowitz[TR]

    It isnt news that the overwhelming majority of ad blockers in Chrome Web Store is either outright malicious or waiting to accumulate users before turning malicious. So it wasnt a surprise that the very first ad blocker I chose semi-randomly (Adblock Web with 700,000 users) turned out malicious. Starting from it, I found another malicious extension (Ad-Blocker, 700,000 users) and two m [09:49] schestowitz[TR] ore that have been removed from Chrome Web Store a year ago (BitSafe Adblocker and Adblocker Unlimited).
