  1. Convenient on Skunk Ruins Toys for Poor Children · · Score: 1

    Sounds a lot like "the dog ate my homework" to me :)

  2. Good job Apple on Apple Sues Steve Jobs Figurine Maker Over Likeness · · Score: 1

    Good job advertising the figurine maker.

  3. Hah on Woman Claims Ownership of the Sun · · Score: 1

    I would like to sue her for the punitive damages arising from all the pain and suffering I have incurred from her property projecting radiation onto my property causing me bodily harm in the form of sunburns and skin cancer. I would like Spanish government to pay 20 percent of the fee for not enforcing nuclear safety regulations on her property and will dedicate 10 percent to research of skin-cancer treatments and another 10 percent to educating people on the importance of considering the consequences of your actions. I am willing to make it a class action lawsuit, should there be any other people who have suffered in the same or similar capacity from the negligence of the aforementioned property owner. I am not stupid, I know the law.

  4. Not the problem on Making Airport Scanners Less Objectionable · · Score: 1

    How about making sure that the images cannot be stored and published online later? I think that's where the problem lies.

  5. Re:They are leechers, plain and simple on Pay Or Else, News Site Threatens · · Score: 1

    Get Righthaven copyright trolls on these guys!

  6. Poor planning on The Empire Strikes Back Vader Costume For Sale · · Score: 1

    Why would you sell a *costume* immediately *after* Halloween?

  7. Re:I don't feel sorry, but... on Canadian Spammer Fined Over $1 Billion · · Score: 1

    Actually to make matters more confusing, he is a Quebecker

    Exactly, if they charge him, he'll threaten to separate.

  8. Failed on Opera on Introducing the Invulnerable Evercookie · · Score: 1

    Simple "delete private data" on latest Opera without any gimmicks got rid of all his cookies as well. What was this created for, IE6?

  9. Ridiculous on Man Claims Caffeine Made Him Kill · · Score: 1

    Caffeine doesn't kill people, people kill people >:(

  10. heh on The New High-Tech 'Popemobile' · · Score: 1

    Great security, but how's it's center of gravity doing? Let's go pope-mobile tipping! P.S. Love the ghetto labelmaker stickers one the dashboard. P.P.S Why does he need a window on the back? P.P.P.S. Who cares about seeing the pope in his "mobile" anymore, just use a normal limo like the rest of the celebrities you self-centered .

  11. Ohoh on Woman Trademarks Name and Threatens Sites Using It · · Score: 1

    If this catches on - Facebook is screwed.

  12. Obviously. on Senate Nominee Claims Scientists Have Created Mice With Human Brains · · Score: 1

    Well, what do you expect - if you genetically engineer a human with a brain of a mouse, of course she is going to start claiming that the inverse is also possible.

  13. Why? on Optical Speedbumps Create Illusion of Little Girl · · Score: 1

    What was wrong with the good-old "slow down or pay to fix your suspension" speedbumps? I've never seen anyone ignore one of those on purpose...

  14. Re:Ugh: Identification vs authentication on New German Government ID Hacked By CCC · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Now if only security professionals were involved in making top-level (government) decisions, we'd be set. Unfortunately these are made by sales and marketing people - the solution that gets implemented is the one that 'wins the contract', not the one that works the best... unfortunately security professionals and technical people do not make best salesmen. All too often a contract is won because of a good game of golf, or a sexy slide deck.

  15. Re:Really? on Apple Announces New iPods, iTunes 10, Social Network, AppleTV · · Score: 1

    Flash support is next.

  16. ROFL on Snoop Dogg Joins the War On Cybercrime · · Score: 1

    Variations should include "Ghost ride the laptop", "Use it slow" and "Drop it like it's a bot". And I thought "Bros icing bros" was a ridiculous marketing campaign.

  17. Re:Related to Russian spies?1!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!? on UVB-76 Broadcasts New Voice Message · · Score: 1

    But, but, that's the only thing that will stay up after a "fire sale"!

  18. Re:I actually monitor this station on occasion. on UVB-76 Broadcasts New Voice Message · · Score: 1
  19. Whew! Close one. on UVB-76 Broadcasts New Voice Message · · Score: 1

    Somewhere in Siberia the abandoned silo tried to launch a nuclear warhead that was long sold to a third world country shortly after the fall of Soviet Union by some crafty general.

  20. Not profitable on Researchers Zero In On Protein That Destroys HIV · · Score: 1

    Not going to happen because even if you sale cure for aids for $10,000 - you can only make $10,000 per patient, once, and the number of your customers will decrease with every sale you make, until there are none left... selling relief medicine - you could make tens of thousands dollars a year, and your client base will grow exponentially so long as people keep having sex. It's just plain business sense why cures for many diseases have not been discovered.

  21. Re:Technically not feasible on Saudi Says RIM Deal Reached; BlackBerry OK, If We Can Read the Messages · · Score: 1

    Google "MITM", if Saudis have a server through which *all* messages are required to travel - you can encrypt it on the end devices until you're blue in the face... they will have no idea that the messages are decrypted by the server, then re-encrypted again. That's how bad guys steal your banking information on unsecured wireless networks.

  22. X10 on Where To Start With DIY Home Security? · · Score: 1

    Get the X10 security system. It's craptastic, but it's super cheap. Honestly, you won't be able to get anything DYI cheaper IMHO.

  23. Biased on Most Consumers Support Government Cyber-Spying · · Score: 1

    I recommend reading this wonderful book called "How to lie with statistics"... "Nearly two thirds" - how was this gathered exactly? What was the sample size? What was the target audience? Was it primarily amongst Sophos users? Did the users believe that someone spying on them when they answered this poll? Basically you can take this and shove right up there along with the "most dentists recommend" and "survey shows" type of statements.

  24. Yahoo Oil Inc. on Former Soviet Republic of Georgia To Become IT Tax Haven · · Score: 1

    I foresee a whole bunch of oil companies buying small IT companies in Giorgia and becoming their child companies :) What's that? We make billions of revenue from oil? So, we also make websites for medium and small businesses - see? :)

  25. Overhyped on AT&T Leaks Emails Addresses of 114,000 iPad Users · · Score: 1

    Blown out of proportion, always look beyond the hype: http://www.sophos.com/blogs/duck/g/2010/06/10/apples-worst-security-breach/
