Ritz Disposable Digital Camera Hacked

Posted by simoniker on from the click-click-boom dept.

morgue-ann writes "The $10.99 Dakota reusable digital camera announced in July was usefully hacked on November 6. First attempts to extract picture data took 10 hours to read out 16MB, but new code for Linux and Mac and Windows lets you get pictures quickly over USB and view or print them without Ritz's help (and with fewer of your $$)."

    Mirror of the wiki, in case it goes down:
    I am stupid.

    Perhaps linking to a wiki from /. (a.k.a. the land of the trolls) is not such a great idea.

    Charlotte, NC (Reuters AP)
    November 12, 2003

    At an exclusive fried chicken and watermelon gala held this past Monday at North Carolina State University's Diversity Center, the Reverend Jessie Jackson delivered a powerful oration on behalf of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), honoring the accomplishments and spirit equality embodied by the Gay Nigger Association of America (GNAA).

    "The GNAA has paved the way for young gay men of color to express their homosexuality in a mutually supportive, nurturing atmosphere," said Jackson. "What started on Slashdot has truly become a national phenomenon, that transcends prior preconceptions of what it means to be a horny young nigger-faggot looking for a tender piece of that glistening, succulent ebony asshole."

    Also in attendance were CmdrTaco and Hemos, in full master/bitch BDSM leather-wear. Jackson ended his speech with the admonishion that all in attendance masturbate furiously. They then proceeded to do so for a good half hour.

      I checked both the reuters and associated press sites and both have yet to post this story. How confident are you about your source?

    MOD PARENT UP.

    It's garbage like this that makes me proud to boycott VCRs, DVDs, Hollywood movies, video cameras, FireWire, Windows, and television.

    Once the capitalist menace is eliminated, I predict a smooth tasty takeover for our trusty leader: Camel Cigarettes.

    The preceding was a paid advertisement for Camel Cigarettes.
