  1. Re:Is this really news? on Android Malware Intercepts Text Messages, Forwards To Criminals · · Score: 4, Funny

    I audit my hardware from the theoretical quantum strings up, plus the source of entire operating system and compiler toolchain, every time there's an update, which I compile myself. I don't use make.

    AV on a phone does sound stupid, but a smart phone isn't really a phone—it's a pocket computer with a modem in it.

    Win 95 & 98 also had it, buried in the install discs.

  4. Double payments on UK Consumers Reporting Contactless Payment Errors · · Score: 4, Insightful

    sometimes paying twice when they have used another payment method.

    Why is the software even accepting a new payment? Shouldn't the balance already be 0 by then?

    Not only are we unharmed, he even lets us post to /. from our Windows 9 phones while on the job.

    Need wholesome and nutritious alcohol to think clearly

    Did we hit the thirty-first century already?

    Make salsa. Stuff it in your eggs; use it as pizza sauce; put it in your sandwiches and salads; shove it up your wraps; derive chili and other stews/soups from it.

  11. Re:Welcome to the USSA on "Terrorist" Lyrics Land High Schooler In Jail · · Score: 2

    Boasting and exaggeration of non-existent criminal acts are pretty common in rap—especially of the gangsta variety. In fact, probably just about every rappist has a song claiming that his rhymes be real while all the others be artificial bullshit—oops, I mean (expletive) (don't want to offend anyone now). For example, see Eminem (nsfw).

  12. Re:iPhone and "txt" messages on The Balkanization of Chatting · · Score: 1

    The carriers I've used (Sprint and T-Mobile) charge for MMS the same as SMS. They use the data channel, of course, but they're not count as data. In fact, people even used to forward chain MMSes (jokes, pictures—I think I even saw goatse once) before data service started getting popular.

    They'll keep trying, either way.

    Goddammit, Loch Ness monster; I ain't gonna give you no tree fiddy!

  15. Re:Is Amazon becoming MTV? on Amazon Debuts Mixed Bag of Original Comedy Pilots · · Score: 1

    When MTV had too many other shows, they invented M2/MTV2 to shove all the music-related stuff onto. But then that got full and they started more channels... I think History did similar with H2.

    Amazon still sells books.

  16. Re:Put beavis and butthead in it's place that show on Futurama Cancelled (Again) · · Score: 1

    The main problem with B&B (both then and now) is MTV using it as a wrapper for shitty music videos and Skanks On a Plane or whatever.

  17. Re:And the winner is... on Walking Distance from Wired: Kevin Kelly Surveys the Tech Scene · · Score: 2

    I think you missed the part about the pictures being taken at the companies' founding sites.

  18. Re:Put it to good use on Facebook Revealed As Behind $1.5B "Catapult" Data Center In Iowa · · Score: 1

    Well, it's Facebook, so the content will mostly comprise re-re-reposts of faux greeting cards and image macros, plus bathroom mirror shots with ridiculous facial expressions.

    And you did all that while your computer was offline, right?
