  1. Next step on UK Government Says More Spying Needed · · Score: 4, Funny

    Putting cameras in toilets. We must keep an eye on every movement the terrorists make!

  2. I am confused on Fixes Released (and More Promised) For "Clickjacking" Exploits · · Score: 1

    I was under the impression that Flash runs with full privileges and can basically do anything if you have the plugin installed. Is this not the case?

  3. zomg Flash is insecure on Alarm Raised For "Clickjacking" Browser Exploit · · Score: 2, Funny

    Details at 11.

  4. Technology on Complaints Pour In After Digital TV Test · · Score: 3, Funny
    It's amazing how far our technology has come in the last 50 years or so. At this rate, I think it is likely that we will see the following technological advances over the next decade:
    • Hovering cars that get 0.3 miles per gallon
    • Electronic books that never wear out and only need to be repurchased every 4 years
    • Roofs made entirely of superthin glass
    • A poison that we can put in foods that far exceeds the protein content of melamine
    • 500-megaton nuclear weapons
    • Fourth trimester abortions
  5. Working link on YouTube Bans Gun and Knife Videos In the UK · · Score: 4, Informative
  6. Legality on Google Updates Chrome's Terms of Service · · Score: 3, Interesting
    The uproar and resulting change by Google has me thinking - what is the legality of all of this?
    • Would the Chrome TOS hold any weight at all in a court?
    • Would the former section 11 hold any weight? Could Google really have claimed a license to anything sent via the browser? (or whatever)
    • Under the current section 11, is there any way Google could still claim a license on future submissions via the browser?
    • The blog posting says this is retroactive. Would this statement hold any weight if Google went on to claim a license to anything sent via the browser?
  7. Wow! on Zombie Network Explosion · · Score: 1

    The botnets are doing better than the elephants!

  8. First they came on Sharing 2,999 Songs, 199 Movies Is Safe In Germany · · Score: 0

    They came first for those who downloaded 3000 songs,
    and I didn't speak up because I didn't download any.

    Then they came for those who downloaded 1000 songs,
    and I didn't speak up because I didn't download any.

    Then they came for those who downloaded 100 songs,
    and I didn't speak up because I didn't download any.

    Then they came for those who downloaded 1 song,
    and I didn't speak up because I didn't download any.

    Then they came for me,
    and by that time no one was left to speak up.

  9. Connectedness on How Can You Measure a Wiki's Worth? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The best measure of a wiki is connectedness, in my opinion. Do all pages have incoming links from relevant articles? Can all the pages be found by casual clicking, or are there some that only have links buried in the middle of paragraphs? Is everything categorized? You should have at least one well organized category hierarchy that contains everything, then add further categorizations from there.

  10. Oh, I know! on What Will Linux Be Capable Of, 3 Years Down the Road? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Something like this: 1010111010000010 1010111101011010 0101101010110100 1101111001010101 0001101111010101 1010110101001001

  11. It begins on Microsoft Sponsors Apache Software Foundation · · Score: 1

  12. Re:Thoughts on Why Power Failures Can Always Lead To Data Loss · · Score: 1

    I used to back up my home every night, too, but the cost was ridiculous. Sure, it was easy enough to call up Countrywide and get a new mortgage every day (they think my income is "hundreds of billions"), but it's not so easy for the furniture. And ordering Russian brides to fill those houses is no walk in the park.

  13. Re:Blasphemy on American Solar Challenge Racers Head For Canada · · Score: -1, Troll

    Fuck michigan.

  14. Tag request on SCO's Lawsuit Gets Even Crazier · · Score: 2, Funny

    Please tag story "microwavetesting". Thanks.

  15. Not trustworthy on Pickens Plans On Wind Power · · Score: 1

    This guy was one of the major contributors to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth propaganda campaign in 2004. I don't trust this guy one bit.

    Besides that, there's something just not right about a billionaire oilman who comes up with an energy plan and first presents it on television commercials - this is not the proper channel for discussing energy policy.

  16. Oh cool! on Massive, Coordinated Patch To the DNS Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    http://www.doxpara.com/

    Your name server, at 65.24.7.3, appears vulnerable to DNS Cache Poisoning.

    Sweet!

  17. You thought it was bad before... on AOL Users Will Need to Pay $2 a Month For Phone Support · · Score: 5, Funny

    Will calling them to cancel your service constitute technical support? If so, this plan is ingenious!

  18. Previous proofs on Claimed Proof of Riemann Hypothesis · · Score: 4, Interesting
  19. Does this actually work? on Nuclear Explosions Key To Spotting Fake Art · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The article doesn't explicitly say that there is a working method based on this concept, nor does it give any concrete statistics regarding how reliable it is, how many fakes have been found, etc. Consider it vaporware until somebody proves that they've done it.

  20. Article is pure shit on Bell's Own Data Exposes P2P As a Red Herring · · Score: 5, Informative

    The blog linked to is pure shit. Here's a link to the actual article:

  21. Re:Summary is wrong on IT Students Contract Out Coursework To India · · Score: 1

    Well this is the most disappointing thing I've heard in a long time. Why didn't anyone tell me this before now?

  22. exorcism please on Lawyer Who Subpoenaed Blogger Seidel Sanctioned · · Score: 3, Funny

    In response, Shoemaker filed a rambling opposition to potential sanctions in which he asserted that Seidel was engaged in a conspiracy with Bayer and others to harass him, his client, and various witnesses.

    I didn't know Jack Thompson could transfer his soul into other bodies. Yikes!

  23. !news on Wikipedia's Content Ripped Off More Egregiously Than Usual · · Score: 1

    There are a bazillion mirrors of Wikipedia out there, many of which screen-scrape and/or don't provide attribution. I think the only thing different about this one is how shitty of a job they did. A lot of screen-scrapers will at least only scrape the content they are interested in and wrap it in their own layout.

    Take a look at the variety of mirrors that can be found with a simple Google search (from your favorite article).

  24. I wish I had this problem on How To Clean Up Incorrect Geolocation Information? · · Score: 1

    If I had this problem, I would be able to watch the current season of Degrassi!

  25. How long until systems on the shelves have it? on Wii Update 3.3 Defeats Twilight Hack, Freeloader · · Score: 1

    What's the sort of timespan between when an update like this gets pushed out and when it shows up in systems on store shelves? 3 months? 6 months? I still don't have a Wii, and I'd really like to take advantage of the Twilight hack.
