Fox News' FTP Password Anyone?
An anonymous reader writes "While browsing around the Fox News website, I found that directory indexes are turned on. So, I started following the tree up, until I got to /admin. Eventually, I found my way into /admin/xml_parser/zdnet/, in which, there is a shell script. Seeing as it's a shell script, and I use Linux, I took a peek. Inside, is a username and password to an FTP. So, of course, I tried to login. The result? Epic fail on Fox's part. And seriously, what kind of password is T1me Out. This is just pathetic." It's already been changed of course, but that's still pretty amusing.
Absence of evidence....
Actually, weapons inspector reports were the main source of the "Saddam had WMDs" data since the Iraqis systematically lied to them so many times they lost track of the actual truth.
But people like simple stories with comic book villains and if seeing GW Bush as evil, omnipotent, and omniscient makes your universe make sense, whatever. Enjoy your Chomsky and bong hits kid.
Because left-wing fascists are thicker on
[Here's where I make some insulting generalization about you, but even I have too much good taste for that.]
But luckily I'm not...
Enjoy your war faught on false premises. I hope you are killed by an IED in Iraq. You'r not in the military? hmm. I guess you aren't as stupid as you seem.
I knew they were lying before we went in. Even in mid bong-hit I knew what 'may have WMDs' being shortend to 'does have WMDs' on the news meant.
Even when I'm drunk or high I'm still smarter than you will ever be.
Tax legislation? That makes no sense. The rest of your post is even worse.
Come on Mr Grammar Nazi! Your beiing a jerk.
More like the US invades weaklings that pissed off the President's daddy a decade earlier. ;)
It doesn't mean much now, it's built for the future.
That's Grammer, not Grammar.
No-one seems to have noticed it yet, but this all leads from this post on Something Awful two days ago. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?th readid=2565728&userid=0&perpage=40
Nope, it's called a typo. Intelligent people can read context and figure that out pretty easy. Good grammar correctors will politely point it out along with quiting the rule that was broken.
Trolls will use sarcasm and condescending posts to point out the error.
Paying taxes to buy civilization is like paying a hooker to buy love.
Good grammar correctors will politely point it out along with quiting the rule that was broken.
Hopefully these so-called grammar correctors will quote the rule that was broken. If the enlightened masses unilaterally decide to just quit the rule as you suggest, the world of communication may descend into chaos.
