  1. Re:What Disgusting Moderation on DHS Sends Tourists Home Over Twitter Jokes · · Score: 1, Flamebait


    My grandfather died in Auschwitz.
    He got drunk and fell out of his guard tower.

  2. Re:Technically, they're not U-2s anymore... on Aging U-2 Will Fight On Into the Next Decade · · Score: 1


    From a geek perspective, saying "I stuck my cock in a Vax" is much cooler than "I stuck my cock in a Hoover".

    We haven't seen his definition of $Pi, though.

  4. Re:Let's hope he gets extradited, he'll be better on US Judge Rules Defendant Can Be Forced To Decrypt Hard Drive · · Score: 1


    Yeah, the idea of "Open | Blow Up" codes seems silly.

    Wouldn't "Open with Time Delay | Open with Time Delay and Trigger Silent Alarm" codes make more sense?

  5. Sooo... on Filesonic Removes Ability To Share Files · · Score: 1


    Basically, they're now competing with the free services of Dropbox, iCloud, Box, SpiderOak, et al, and are charging money for it.
    Great business plan.

  6. Re:Magic on Apple Intends To 'Digitally Destroy' Textbook Publishing · · Score: 1


    Sadly I haven't had mod points for ages, so all I can offer is +1, Insightful in a reply.
    You've nailed every nail on the head with that.

  7. Re:C# on 2011's Fastest Growing Language: Objective-C · · Score: 1

    IIRC, gcc compiles Objective-C. You don't need Apple's devkit to compile.

  8. Good news. on Google Launches Style Guide For Android Developers · · Score: 1, Interesting


    It's nice to see that Android will be getting some style.
    Well done, Google!

  9. yo. on The Future of Hi-Tech Auto Theft · · Score: 4, Funny


    So the other day I was on the bus and I saw this hot woman driving a car. I pulled out the iPhone, SSH'd into home and ran nmap on her license plate.

    LOL, stupid woman didn't notice her gas cap was left off from the last fill but nmap caught it. Used nc to push 'fire.jpg' into her tank and she blew up.

    True story, fucker.

    Wow, I'm flattered someone remembers this from almost 2 months ago. :)
    Thank you!

    'Like Captain Scott, Helen is attempting something that has never been tried before and I applaud her pioneering efforts.'"

    I bet that won't be the only similarity between her and Scott...

    Yes, true. Thanks for the correction.

    Best get your eyes checked, I think that was our cat's anus you were in.
    My wife and I love to sit around and de-dupe all night.

  14. FreeBSD has ZFS on Ask Slashdot: Free/Open Deduplication Software? · · Score: 3, Informative


    FreeBSD, and FreeNAS which is bases on FreeBSD, both come with ZFS. Neither is going away anytime soon.
    I use both at home and am happy as a clam.

    Bahaha! I just lol'd on the bus.

  16. Re:Firesale pt. II on RIM's Playbook On Clearance · · Score: 1


    Woo hoo! Here, too! I did say "by January 3, 2013", so up until midnight Eastern (RIM's time zone) on January 2, 2013? After that, you get it. Before, it's mine.
    Man, all we need now is some awesome Star Trek fight music! :)

  17. Re:Firesale pt. II on RIM's Playbook On Clearance · · Score: 1


    I'm poking around with iOS development and looking at Android, hence the Samsung phone. No need for a third platform to tinker with at the moment, that's why I didn't order.

    I really don't think RIM will continue with the Playbook much longer, BB10 devices will continue, but I think they'll push hard on their traditionally stronger areas (phones).

    Want to bet a $25 Amazon Gift Card that RIM cancels the Playbook by January 3, 2013? Your address is listed, mine is. We can enter it in our calendars... :)

  18. It's not my primary OS. on What's Keeping You On XP? · · Score: 2


    I use OSX, Linux and OpenBSD on a daily basis. My XP use is limited to VMs running some Windows-only utilities on the first two.

    There's no compelling reason to change as yet.

    It was meant as a joke, hardly an original one at that.

  21. Re:Firesale pt. II on RIM's Playbook On Clearance · · Score: 2

    I was on the store and selected a 64 GB model but closed the window. Thankfully reality hit. We already have an iPad, iPhones, Samsung Captivate, iPod Touch... I don't need to spend $299 on what will soon be an unsupported trinket.

  22. You know what they're doing... on RIM's Playbook On Clearance · · Score: 5, Funny


    They can't compete at the higher price points so they're moving to a model where they lose money on every sale but hope to cover it with volume.

    Very smart, RIM, very smart...

  23. Re:I want the opposite on Do You Really Need a Smart Phone? · · Score: 1


    Sounds like you almost want an iPod Touch. (Acrobits Softphone is a superb VoIP app for both iOS and Android :))

    I found mine here but note that it's for Canadian carriers.

  25. Re:Shocked. on Do You Really Need a Smart Phone? · · Score: 1, Insightful


    It's a Samsung Captivate.

    I never did specify which iPhone either, did I? (it's an aging 3GS, hardly a "LookAtMephone"...)
