Facebook Invites Hackers To Attack Its Network
An anonymous reader writes "Nearly a year ago, Facebook introduced its bug bounty program, inviting security researchers to poke around the site, discover vulnerabilities that could compromise the integrity or privacy of Facebook user data, and then responsibly disclose them to the company. Still, when the social network's security team received a tip from a researcher about a vulnerability in the company's own network which would allow attackers to eavesdrop on internal communications, they made an unprecedented choice by broadened the scope of the bug bounty program and inviting researchers to search for other holes in the corporate network. Nobody expects malicious attackers to have a change of heart and hand over information about a vulnerability for a few thousand dollars when they could sell the stole information for much more. It should, therefore, come as no surprise that Ryan McGeehan, the manager of Facebook's security-incident response unit, stated that if there's a million-dollar bug, they will pay it out."
u know how we do
Holy hellbore, editors! At least read through the summary before letting it out onto the page teeming with grammatical errors. It reads like it was written by a grade schooler.
Hyperbole: I use it liberally!
This is using the enemy against "himself", & at the same time, strengthening themselves also.

P.S.=> I've said this before & I'll say it again: The 1 "good" thing hacker/cracker types do, is show what needs "shoring up" (but, admittedly, that's about it). Just making "lemonade out of lemons" on that note...

Annoying Facebook Games.
A PhD in English is certainly not required to ensure good communication. You've fallen victim to the Fallacy of Grey - "not a professional in English teaching" is not the same thing as "unable to communicate well". Strive for perfection in everything you do, as Sir Henry Royce tells us.
Do you have an account? Nope. Go away troll, your kind is NOT wanted here.
Of course, neither do I!
Plain and simple.
"...It should, therefore, come as no surprise that Ryan McGeehan, the manager of Facebook's security-incident response unit, stated that if there's a million-dollar bug, they will pay it out."
Wow, a whole million, eh? Nothing like devaluing your company's lifesblood down to chump change.
It should come as no surprise to Ryan McGeehan when someone sells out their data for 10 million, or perhaps 20. And if Facebook doesn't think the value of that data is worth it, they're either being very naive or downright stupid.
OK, so I'm the Facebook corp. and I run a cost vs. risk analysis and come up with the numbers and resulting decision we see here today. Clearly they have the money, and the relative risk plus technical infrastructure so they figure this works out for them.
OK, let's say I'm a Blackhat criminal hacker, poking around the Facebook network doing nasty stuff all the time, as best as I can, because this is what I do. And one day I get caught by Facebook or someone else along those lines. I am so busted. But wait, I can explain I was really a white hat all along, just trying to feed my family the best I can. Whatever happens next can't be too bad, and I'll live to fight another day. So then I figure capitalism rocks. Also maybe I'll see what Facebook offers when I really find a big hole worth exploiting.
Win, win, and so captilism = security?
There must be something I am not seeing here. Could such pure capitalism do something about all those evil Chinese and Russian and Ukranian hackers too? That which laws and police cannot really do very well at this time?
To look at this another way, the US/Israeli State Resources behind Flame and Stuxnet (etc.) seem to have been fairly successful doing harm.
You can't be ahead of the curve, if you're stuck in a loop.
In your thinking you're certified to critique others writing, when you're clearly not.If you can't gather the meaning of words from within the context in which they are written, it is clearly YOU with the problem. Get out your hooked on phonics and get on topic, troll.
Get on topic, you off topic troll. Get a life.
I peed a little when I read compromise the integrity or privacy of Facebook user data. If they think that would be the result from a hack, then having an account means you are a hacker.
If you subscribe and don't use your real name, you must be a 1337 Hax0r
Don't fight for your country, if your country does not fight for you.
"Nobody expects malicious attackers to have a change of heart and hand over information about a vulnerability for a few thousand dollars when they could sell the stole information for much more. "
I really don't think that all hackers are greedy. While there are hackers who are willing to take the risks of selling hacks to criminals, there are probably many hackers who would be interested in exploring vulnerabilities for a modest legal reward.
I don't read your sig. Why are you reading mine?
Inviting crime to our personal data, good show facebook, are you trying to drive us away?
I do not welcome deliberate encouragement and funding of crime on my personal profile.
Yet more reasons to leave Facebook. This is not the way to test your product, you do REWARD people for ATTACKING the people that are giving you your bread and butter. Without us you HAVE NO INFORMATION TO SELL.
Just count each successful attack as another active user. I guess every bit helps when your stock value is on the line.
Trust the Computer. The Computer is your friend.
I tried going to Facebook today, didn't come up so decided to checkout Slashdod since I could see other sites, I find this story about Facebook inviting hackers on DefCON weekend. Well, seems my DNS doesn't resolve them, is this widespread? C:\Users\r>ping facebook.com Ping request could not find host facebook.com. Please check the name and try again.
Yes, come hack our site! And if you suceed, we'll turn you in to the police.
This sort of competition requires a large amount of trust on both sides. I see far too much potential for:
1) Facebook to claim that legitimate contenders were actual hackers and have them arrested (either unintentially or intentionally).
2) Legitimate hackers that get caught to claim that they were only taking part in the hacking competition.
I think that there are few people who trust Facebook, and with good reason. One thing you can be certain of is that they will be logging all hacking attempts.
You may be right. Selling "intangibles" like advertising is b.s. that's wrecking the United States (in part), imo at least. Domestic manufacturing & food production kept this nation STRONG via internal employment of the citizenry as well as exports of actual physical goods. We don't DO much of THAT anymore, unfortunately.
Why? Greed.
See - I was told that the "service economy" was coming in the early to mid 1980's in my 1st of 2 degrees and I told the professor "It won't work. Most guys want to go do their 6-2/7-3/8-4/9-5 job in a factory (or like environs on those hourly schedules) that's unionized for stability and security, go home, eat dinner, spend time with kids, do household chores & yardwork, drink a beer, make love to the wife, go to sleep and get up the next day and do it again - the familiarity of routine! There's only so many chiefs needed and far more indians to account for and keep happy. A nation's composed of individuals, and individuals form societies. Happy individuals make for happy AND ECONOMICALLY HEALTHY societies".
He threatened I might fail that economics class, to which I told him
"When you learn to *think* for yourself, instead of spitting back what "FORBES" magazine is feeding you? Then you can make statements like that, and I have plenty of witnesses here in class to your threat. Try it, let's see what happens when I go WAY over your head if you do that..."
(Needless to say, I passed that class with a good grade too!)
* My point is that this ENTIRE fiasco in the economy was being FED TO US as far back as that, & imo in a "seize the youth, seize the future" type thing, and possibly earlier, to aid in creating this mess, today (all so that the "investment class" could profit by the easiest means possible - payroll control!). Take away disposable income (monies beyond necessities like food, rent/mortgage, etc.), you take that away from the people, creating a hand-to-mouth minimum wage ridden "economy", and ruin eventually.
(Between that & the dishonesties being practiced in government, banking, stock markets, and corporate Amerika? We have, what we have... what a shame, it really is... I've been alive for 1/2 a century now almost & watched things get bad. Really, bad...)
APK
P.S.=> I saw this coming a LONG time ago, even as a "green kid" (not that I am the 'wisest guy there is', FAR from it), but even then? I knew we were heading for problems, and here we are, today... unbelievable greed is @ the root/heart of it, imo... apk
And WHAT could possibly go wrong?!
I became an advertisement company, gave Zuck a fist full of dollars, and now have full access to everything you do! :P
Officially I'm even considered "part of the company", and hence "no information was passed on to third parties".
I don't have a PhD in English, but I don't need one to tell you "broadened" is the wrong tense. The second sentence should read, in part,
instead of the way it is currently written.
This has nothing to do with language "evolving" or grammar police; they made a mistake that breaks one of the syntax rules of the language, and it should be corrected.

Although I can see the appeal of something like "bug bounties", I can't help but feel that it's basically testing on the cheap. As an IT professional, it feels a bit like devaluing a highly skilled career; or at best, making testers nothing but self-employed, pay-as-you-go workers rather than full employees or traditional contractors.
I mean, what Facebook are basically offering is "no win no fee" Penetration Testing. Rather than paying a team of certified, experienced Pen Testers to run a thorough and comprehensive report, they're saying "yeah, do a Pen Test, but we'll only pay you if you find anything wrong". Not only that, but "we'll only pay you properly if you find something really wrong". And if Facebook have actually managed to inadvertently make their system secure, they'll get to find that out via 100's of hours of free testing.
Bug bounties to encourage end-users to post proper bug reports is one thing, but this seems like a slightly grubby step too far to me.
Custom hosts "hardcodes" of your favorites of their "IP address to host-domain name 'equation'" in line records in hosts can overcome that crap too & help. That's in addition to my initial post reply to you here -> http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3011387&cid=40801585 on filtering DNS servers.
DNS has KNOWN issues, & can be "redirect poisoned" over ports 51/53. Hosts help "skirt that issue", take a LONG read (but a detailed one as to why):
I use hosts in the following ways (see my 'p.s.' below, in detail, for your reference) to COMPLIMENT & OVERCOME THOSE PROBLEMS IN DNS & OTHER MECHANISMS LARGELY!
Custom hosts files gain me the following benefits (A short summary of where custom hosts files can be extremely useful):
---
1.) Blocking out malware/malscripted sites
2.) Blocking out Known sites-servers/hosts-domains that are known to serve up malware
3.) Blocking out Bogus DNS servers malware makers use
4.) Blocking out Botnet C&C servers
5.) Blocking out Bogus adbanners that are full of malicious script content
6.) Getting you back speed/bandwidth you paid for by blocking out adbanners + hardcoding in your favorite sites (faster than remote DNS server resolution)
7.) Added reliability (vs. downed or misdirect/poisoned DNS servers).
8.) Added "anonymity" (to an extent, vs. DNS request logs)
9.) The ability to bypass DNSBL's (DNS block lists you may not agree with).
10.) More screen "real estate" (since no more adbanners appear onscreen eating up CPU, Memory, & other forms of I/O too - bonus!)
11.) Truly UNIVERSAL PROTECTION (since any OS, even on smartphones, usually has a BSD drived IP stack).
12.) Faster & MORE EFFICIENT operation vs. browser plugins (which "layer on" ontop of Ring 3/RPL 3/usermode browsers - whereas the hosts file operates @ the Ring 0/RPL 0/Kernelmode of operation (far faster) as a filter for the IP stack itself...)
13.) Blocking out TRACKERS
14.) Custom hosts files work on ANY & ALL webbound apps (browser plugins do not).
15.) Custom hosts files offer a better, faster, more efficient way, & safer way to surf the web & are COMPLETELY controlled by the end-user of them.

AND, for those of you that run Microsoft Windows 32 or 64 bit? An automated hosts file creation & mgt. program:
http://securemecca.com/public/APKHostsFileInstaller/2012_06_01/APKHostsFileEngineInstaller32_64bit.exe.zip
(You simply extract its files to ANY folder you like (usually one you create for it, doesn't matter where, but you MUST run it as administrator (simple & the "read me" tab shows how easy THAT is to do))
What's it do for you?
It's a custom hosts file mgt. program that does the following for end users (Calling it "APK Hosts File Engine 5.0++") after it obtains custom hosts file data from 12 of the reputable & reliable sources listed below:
---
1.) Offers massively noticeable increased speed for websurfing via blocking adbanners
2.) Offers increased speed for users fav. sites by hardcoding them into the hosts file for faster IP address-to-host/domain name resolutions (which sites RARELY change their hosting providers, e.g.-> of 250 I do, only 6 have changed since 2006 - & when sites do because they found a less costly hosting provider? Then, they either email notify members, put up warnings on their pages, & do IP warnings & redirectors onto the former IP address range to protect vs. the unscrupulous criminal bidding on that range to buy it to steal from users of say, online banking or shopping sites).
3.) Better "Layered-Security"/"Defense-In-Depth" via blocking host-domain based attacks by KNOWN bad sites-servers that
Wait... FB has data that's worth attacking? This really is news to me.
The average Slashdot summary makes this very, very evident.
The "Grammar Nazi"/"English Professor" wannabe got downmodded though, lol -> http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3011387&cid=40801239 . Slashdot readers told him where to go and the ratings illustrate that, clearly.
I understood you perfectly, regardless of your writing style (doubtless intentional, but possibly not (as you may have actual difficulties writing English say, due to being a non-english speaker/writer)). So, once more: If you can't gather the meaning of words from within the context in which they are written, it is clearly YOU with the problem! The wannabe "english professor"/"grammar nazi" was put in his place by a TROLL downmod by the community here who by that down moderation has basically stated "go away troll".
Virtually every feature in PHP is broken somehow. The language, the framework, the ecosystem, are all just bad. And I can’t even point out any single damning thing, because the damage is so systemic.
fun read
If you can't gather the meaning of words from within the context in which they are written, it is clearly YOU with the problem. You're in no position to critique others' writing either. What exactly qualifies you on that grounds?? Your MERE "opinion"??? Please... get over yourself, and get on topic.
Good post. Thanks for the info (can't see why you're downmodded though).
Can't you give me some information about the hosts file? You probably don't know about that, maybe a little too advanced for you.
What about the hackers who just want the data, not the money? They will be masked by all the script kiddies with dollar signs in their eyes.
If they care about paying the right price for the bugs, why not just buy the existing exploits from the black-hats? Hackers get paid what the bug is ACTUALLY worth (on the black market), you fix even more bugs, driving more folks to search for cracks, driving bug price down, everyone's happy?
I get that white hatters are beneficial, but I'd still be careful attaching my name to a "bug bounty". They can throw you in jail for white hat hacking at a whim -- It's still illegal by the retarding letter of the law.
a big problem with "its not a formal document so FOAD" is that not making the effort can transfer to YOUR CODE the folks that try to use more formal grammar are just not wanting to let that kind of language laziness pass.
Okay so we shouldn't be arguing between NYT and Yale commas but dumping a complete trainwreck of language in and then claiming Not Formal so I CAN HAZ EROARS is Bollocks.

How "original" (not) and weak. Is the "best defense" you have, that? You FAIL, troll, off topic as usual.
Would you rather be corrected by well-meaning grammar lawyers, or continue making and compounding mistakes until you're writing in a language that may be difficult to receive by the intended audience?
Consider what a failure to communicate may mean. In the case of the summary, a failure to receive the communication would be more detrimental to the reader than to the writer, but those roles can also be reversed when the author needs to be understood more than the recipient needs to understand. Also consider that some groups of recipients may reject communication attempts out of hand based on the style of the author, permanently excluding the author from interaction with those groups, which may have economic impact for the communicator.
Dialect differentiation is one of the pillars of the gentrification of society. It offers a way for the elite to segregate themselves from the plebs, limiting social mobility. Those with access to the "rules of grammar" and the the training in them can easily spot others of the like.
Do you still wish to avoid the pain of being corrected from time to time?

Hence his downmoderation and continually being off topic. You too, and by TBird's reasoning? You fail yet again.
Once more so it "sinks in" (drink this in and digest it): If you can't gather the meaning of words within the framework of the context they're used in, you're the problem.

Now it's legal to hack their network. Which is a nice move for white hats, but it also gives black hats permission to fuck around with people's private data.

Grammar is important, twat.
I LOL'd. XD
Well played.
The Chinese do not need an invitation. What the West calls an "invitation" is construed there as a provocation.
I laughed at the idiot who posted this too http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3011387&cid=40802123
Keep projecting:. We can tell you need your meds loony boy!
Biggest Mentalcase Online keeps repeating himself, projecting his own issues in his taking medications to keep his loony brain in check: Hilarious!
I would taunt you, but taunting the mentally disabled is considered bad form.

BMO
We know your ADHD n' Dyslexia make it hard for you to read! However, it's not our fault you're a brain-damaged reject either.
Profanity's a last resort of off topic trolls like you. Take your meds.
I'm taunting you, Biggest Mentalcase Online (lol, BMO) right here http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3011387&cid=40803801 so take your meds and quit projecting pusscake.
Your grammar sucks, so you're not one to talk (or write).
APK dusted that troll with his trollish mistake here http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3011387&cid=40802407
Biggest Mentalcase Online, don't talk. You attempt to project your own issues onto others and fail like usual. Now, go take those meds of yours you need nutter!
Being on topic's more important. Thunderbird isn't on topic at all. He's a troll.
Talking to yourself either online or offline is one sure way of convincing people that you are indeed crazy.
Out here you can't point to your bluetooth earpiece and say that you were on the phone.
Prune, is that you? This aspie rage seems very familiar...
I am not a mother. Would that affect the chances of me getting paid, sir?
This is your anti-psychotic prescription talking to you.
Eat me.
Sincerely,
Your Prescription.
The Biggest Mentalcase Online? LMAO! You called yourself "BMO" after all, and are clearly projecting your own issues with taking "meds". Try be on topic troll: You might actually have successes that way.
Oh look: BMO (Biggest Mentalcase Online is posting ac now - "gosh what a surprise" (NOT)). As was predicted here http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3011387&cid=40803909 BMO not taking his meds (which he attempts to project onto others only giving himself away as yet another nutball, lol) has him posting yet again. It's his OCD rage, lol!
Big Mentalcase Online posted again http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3011387&cid=40804167 just as you predicted he would. I suppose that unlike most crazos, BMO is entirely predictable due to his condition (OCD).
Big Mentalcase Online missed shock therapy again. BMO's past meds being effective for his "delicate condition" people! Hence his "BMO" handle/nickname here (lmao).
Biggest Mentalcase Online quit missing your shock therapy sessions already (lol).
FB should be encouraging investors to invest.
Sad truth that FB is just a Ponzi Scheme and King Zuck is at the Helm of the H.M.S. FB as the iceberg chips away at the bulkheads.
An article on MarketWatch lamented that ... well .... perhaps ... FB is worth about $17 a share.
I'd say from what I've seen is that each employee of FB contributes $0.01 to the share price, i.e. their lives value is the sum total of $0.01.
That would put the 'value' of FB stock at about $13 a share.
That might be in this case much more than generous. Since the value of an employee should be judged by what the employee contributes.
Given the 'Performance', i.e. 'sponging off his parents' of King Zuck, I would put his worth, i.e. value of his life at $0.00000000000001.
Hard to 'make up' that in summer school hay King Zuck.
Oh well.
Worse could happen.
King Zuck might just apply ... and heaven forbid ... get a real job that his intelligence is evolved for front and square! Delivering pizzas for Dominos!
Yuck Yuck Yuck for the Zuck Zuck Zuck.
Piss
LoL
We sometimes forget that there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these things more difficult. If I had known, that this was your case then I would have never read your post. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort of like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.
"Absolutely LIVE" (as in live-wire) http://www.flickr.com/photos/mr_carl/3426106666/ (LMAO!).
BMO's long past meds nowadays and into shock therapy which isn't helping him much! He first tried saving money by sticking a 220 line to his nose but as you can see, it didn't work out too well, lol and hence, his nickname\handle of Biggest Mentalcase Online!
He says your appointment is moved up to 8am Monday. He would like to speak to you about your abuse of bold type.
Oh, and, he sent me a pic. I didn't know that doctor-patient relationships were ok. He says you took the photo.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/electricpetertork/bears4.jpg
I can't respect the fact you *tried* to save some ca$h or insurance claims by taping a 220 line live wire to your nose to do your own "homegrown" style of electroshock therapy (since we know you're way past meds being effective): See below, they caught you LIVE ("Absolutely LIVE", lol).
By the way: Love your photo here http://www.flickr.com/photos/mr_carl/3426106666/ LMAO!
Makes sense now WHY you're called Biggest Mentalcase Online, since you certainly live up to the name!
BMO, "Absolutely LIVE" (as in live-wire) http://www.flickr.com/photos/mr_carl/3426106666/ (LMAO!). You're also "hearing voices" again it seems per your statements, and delusional that I am "APK". Sorry, wrong door. I suppose that's not your fault, entirely, but this was news I heard here today: BMO's long past meds nowadays and into shock therapy which isn't helping him much! I understand that BMO first tried saving money by sticking a 220 line to his nose but as you can see, it didn't work out too well, lol and hence, his nickname\handle of Biggest Mentalcase Online!
Must've been challenging putting a 220 live line up your nose BMO doing your own version of "homegrown" electroshock therapy, lol! At least you *tried* to go as close to your puny brain as possible and perhaps to save some cash or insurance claims, but as we all can see, it's not working out any better for you than meds did (lmao). At least you live up to your own name of Biggest Mentalcase Online, I'll give you that, lol!
I think it's ironic that a company whose CEO has repeatedly made it clear from the start that user's data should not be kept private is claiming to improve security while they themselves have intentionally and willfully made users' private data public again and again by changing default settings and making it hard to change them back. Or has everyone already forgotten? I for one assume everything I post on Facebook is going to become completely public, including private messges. Have you ever read the permissions you grant on any application you use (I don't use FB apps because of this)?
Currently hooked on AMP
Glad to see APK back.
There is only one APK, even though APK has more than one voice living in his head.
Stop missing your electroshock therapy and taking your meds! So far, You've shown us that not only do you hear voices on the phone that aren't there, but that you're seeing things now also. See subject, and first line of this reply above
(And I don't mean the 220 "hot" line you stick up your nose to try do "homegrown" electroshock therapy on yourself either!)
Did you do that to *try* save ca$h or insurance claims? It had to have hurt, and the results are not good for you either, as you're hearing voices and seeing things nowadays too, lol!
You seem obsessed with shocking one's self with 220 as opposed to 115. Do you do this? How does it feel? Enjoyable? I would like to hear your thoughts on this, however they may be.
Your faithful servant,
The other voice in your head.
Ask BMO (Biggest Mentalcase Online). Sure, BMO probably started out his "homegrown" electroshock therapy on 110, but needed a better "kick" (lol) so he stepped it on up, and we see the results (too bad we're stuck with him around here though) and when housing standards went up to 220? Well, being the in style guy he is, he just HAD to try it (lol).
As far as hearing anyone's thoughts as you stated, tell us why you hear those voices (that aren't there anymore than APK posting here as you seem to have illusions on that account also)? Perhaps you ought to consult with "certified self-administered home electro-shock therapist" (lol), BMO? He's "certified" alright (certifiably nuts).
He's got the entire neighborhood pissed since he shorts out local powergrids sometimes during his "homegrown" electroshock sessions, and can't seem to stop. The local power company's tried to prosecute him even to no avail. He keeps getting off on insanity pleas! I saw him cutting into the "hot" wires in the local transformer once (he must have been really in need of a "dose", or locked himself out of his house or basement where the fusebox is)! Afterwards, man" BMO looked just like Bill the Cat http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s34/GHERU/fun/BilltheCat.gif when he stuck that wire up his nose I tell you. I called the cops after the entire area blacked out but the bastard snuck into a Mickie D's bathroom and combed his hair really well and wormed out of it again. BMO really needs help. I respect he's trying to help himself, but that is NOT the way to do it, lol!
Hahaha. Question: What do BMO n Bill the Cat have in common after his "homegrown" self-administered electroshock sessions? Answer = Looks http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s34/GHERU/fun/BilltheCat.gif LMAO!
Lego blocks are too advanced for you.
Once I challenge the trolls to disprove every point here -> http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3011387&cid=40801683 which they've tried & failed on MANY times here on /. alone over the years? They always run (or fail miserably, not even being able to disprove a single one of them, & there's roughly 21 of them).
(Every single time, without fail too... it's very amusing, but, a bit like picking on a retard!)
* That's really what I like to see though, them running away after trolling me by ac posts... happens a lot!
APK
P.S.=> It's not my fault either that they're trolling simpletons, but someone's got to do it, so... might as well be them (they just end up making me look good, which in the end? I thank them for!)...
... apk
The Zuckerbug. Show me the money please.
You trolled him here http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3011387&cid=40803011 and here http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3011387&cid=40803561 and here http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3011387&cid=40803811 and doubtless others by anonymous coward reply options you have and now you're trying to play victim and saint? Grow up, asshole.
I just read bmo's garbage and put him in his place here http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3011387&cid=40810879 and now you're all sore that the person you cry like a little girl about a person (allegedly apk) that got the best of you with facts of your being off topic the entire time, then for trolling them, and then he used your own methods against you and you cry about it? Haha, what a little beyotch you are. Grow up little girl. Trying to play victim or saint when you're off topic and just wrong is so transparent it is not funny. No, you will not get the last word out of your troll mouth. I won't allow it. Scumbag trolls like you go off topic and then harass others, and now you're accusing ac posters here of being apk too? Plenty of ac posts were against those you accuse of being apk. Take a look. I did. You're doubtless one of them you mindless little trolling piece of online trash. If you were on topic just once here I might have given you some sympathy, but you were not, not once. Fuck off loser.
n' you'd have to reply, lol! So predictable, just like most trolling monkeys like yourself usually are.
Are you on topic? No. Go away troll.
Along with some interesting revelations, the interview of James Whittaker about his book, How Google Tests Software, included some discussion about effective crowd sourcing of software. Part of his argument is that even the best test engineers are going to miss things that end users find easily, so one way to leverage this is to make it as easy as possible for end users to provide high quality bug reports. He also has a lot of interesting things to say about scaling the testing process.
Signatures are a waste of bandwi (buffering...)
He proved bmo started trolling him n doubtless is doing ac posts along with other moron trolls around here.

Ooh, someone got mod points and decided to go back to a comment from more than a week ago and settle a score.
Sorry about your penis :(
