New Android Phones Hijackable With Chrome Exploit (theregister.co.uk)

mask.of.sanity writes: Google's Chrome for Android has been popped with a single exploit that could lead to the compromise of any handset. The exploit, showcased at MobilePwn2Own at the PacSec conference, targets the JavaScript v8 engine and compromises phones when users visit a malicious website. It is also notable in that it is a single clean exploit that does not require chained vulnerabilities to work.

Re:Funny

[myowntrueself]

I've always found the term "morbidly obese" to be funny. Sounds like the name of one of those Scandinavian death metal bands. Imagine four or five fat-assed guys jamming on a stage and the stage collapsing from the weight.

I've often wondered if truly fat people don't create a seal when they sit on the toilet. Do they have to lean to one side to break the seal. Psssssssssssssssttttttttttt!!!!!

Its funny you should mention this but toilets in North America seem quite unsuited to 'Murcan arses.

For one thing the outlet hole, thru which the poopy leaves the toilet bowl, is extremely tiny, just a few cm diameter. Surely the gargantuan meals these people eat produces matching gargantuan turds. Almost all toilets in North America have a plunger sitting right next to them. That shows forward thinking!

For another thing, unlike toilets in eg the UK, the outlet pipe goes down through the floor. Now, in the UK the toilet has an S-bend and the outlet pipe comes out the back of the toilet and connects through a flexible fitting to a pipe in the wall, so when you sit on the toilet your weight is supported by the toilet itself which is securely bolted to the floor.

In North America this outlet pipe on the floor is more or less flush to the ground and has a flange which you connect to the matching flange on the bottom of the toilet, presumably with some sealant to form a gasket. The thing is that when you sit on the toilet your entire weight is pressing down onto this gasket. Any slight movement to one side or the other can cause the gasket to come unsealed.
