  1. TheDailyWTF got first post on Australian Bureau of Statistics Doesn't Like Direct Downloads of Census Data · · Score: 1

    Was certain I had read those comments before. Yep

  2. Re:Never underestimate familiarity on Petition For Metric In US Halfway To Requiring Response From the White House · · Score: 1

    American cars + export?

    MOHAHAHA!

  3. Re:No persuasion required on Ask Slashdot: Should Employers Ban Smartphones? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you were a terrible (but sadly a stereotypical american) boss

  4. Re:In other news... on Origin of Neil Armstrong's 'One Small Step' Line Revealed · · Score: 1

    Because it was an amazing moment in history.

    It's the same with Admiral Nelson's last words. "Kiss me Hardy" is the most famous version, but scolars now believe his actual last words were "fan, fan ... rub, rub ... drink, drink"

  5. Re:Some of these were also considered... on Origin of Neil Armstrong's 'One Small Step' Line Revealed · · Score: 1

    It's made of CHEESE!

  8. Re:only Windows 8? on Rare Photos: Gnu Crashing a Windows 8 Launch Event · · Score: 1

    "For example , if I were to walk into the White House, before I could shout anything I would be moved to a "free speech zone" miles away from people where I could shout Obama / Romney is a filthy thieving lying fuck, and nobody would do anything to me."

    FTFY

  9. Re:Theocracies on Dr. Richard Dawkins On Education, 'Innocence of Muslims,' and Rep. Paul Broun · · Score: 1

    Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day.

    That's why the moon landings are a hoax! The rockets would have punched a hole in the "heaven" thingy.

  11. Re:the new HQ looks like an asshole from space, to on Apple Reportedly Luring Ex-Google Mappers With Jobs · · Score: 1

    The one that works so well?

    Did you ever try the old maps app? It didn't work well in a car (need to hit that tiny "next turn" button while driving), if it couldn't find a destination it just picked something that looked similar and didn't give any warning, and it had many of the same fails that iOS6 maps has (map/photo misalignment).

    I hated it so much that I paid ~$50 for the Navigon app. Seems like the new app has many of the same problems, so I won't go back yet

  12. Yay! on Space Sugar Discovered In Binary System Star · · Score: 3, Funny

    Just need some yeast and we'll have one hell of a party star!

    From TFA:

    The investigators performed several experiments to evaluate the effects of triclosan on muscle activity, using doses similar to those that people and animals may be exposed to during everyday life.

    Replaced it with keyboard shortcuts and Launchy

  16. Ethical industries on Ask Slashdot: Ambitious Yet Ethical Software Jobs? · · Score: 2

    I think you should consider the specific company and not the whole industry when rating ethics. There are many important, ethically sound jobs in defence/money/medical industries. And there are certainly inethical stuff going on in industries that are typically considered ethical safe.

  24. Re:Hmm ... on Busting, and Fixing, Frame Busting · · Score: 1

    ... hosted on a site that requires you allow Javascript just to read a static-looking page that only provides a summary and a hyperlink to another major malware vector - a PDF file.

    They sure appear to use a lot of unnecessary and insecure crap to serve up an article about how everyone else's web designs suck.

    From the site:

    A research question: this page contains our proposed Javascript frame busting code. This code resists the attacks in the paper, but we cannot guarantee that the page cannot be framed. If you are able to write HTML that frames this page, please send us a link.

    I like their approach. Good point on the pdf though.
