    I believe this post to be very punctual.

    Some may argue that is it trite and cliche, but it feel it is a testament to my attentiveness to Slashdot.

    Please join me in celebrating my punctuality, by scratching your left nut and gentle using the sweat from your nut to moisten your left nipple.

    Have a quality day!

    I have often been accused of trolling (whatever that is), but it's safe to say that I've got the first post!

      Almost, faggot. I guess it wasn't so safe to say, after all.

      You glory has been stolen.

    Either voyeurism has reached a new level, or it's just the players and their proud(?) mums downloading this.

    Then again, I guess it's not a bad screensaver!

    I know nothing about this subject but I feel that I have to comment anyway to get the discussion going: Linux is gay, MS rules etc.

    Could the person who modded that up as funny please explain why? I would of thought that redundant was the only way to go, given that every article attached to a download gets a least one of these comments, usually dozens.

  8. Social engineering is the way forward by Anton+Anatopopov · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    In the dim and distant past, before I became 'respectable' I used to be a hacker wannabe. I used to use my 1200 baud modem to dial into various systems, and lets just say, that had the law been the same then as it is now, I could have been arrested.

    But after I became involved in tech support for major financial institutions, I realised that although security there was reasonably good, you could almost always circumvent it via social engineering.

    My favorite trick to get into the server room was to put on an old hard-hat and a fluorescent jacket. I would stand outside the door until someone came along, then I would simply ask them to let me in. Which about 70% of the time, they did. At which point, I would point out to them that I could have been anyone, usually got an embarassed apology.

    I was using social engineering to raise the security awareness of staff, but it was a real eye-opener to me just how easy it was to control people.

    Odd question?...
    But, for a free site that simply runs off banner ads and donations

    Why does Slashdot never get Slashdotted?

    Sorry just had to ask....

    Sounds like something I should report to the Troll Exchange Commission.
