    ICANN has spamburgers?

  2. yes on Mac OS X Root Escalation Through AppleScript · · Score: 1

  3. Re:Death Coil on Helping Some Students May Harm High Achievers · · Score: 2, Funny

    I would explain further or try to give examples, but I think the truth of my claims are rather obvious. Obvious to you, maybe, but I won't believe you until I see that a study proves it.

    $ It probably also affects apple remote desktop, though. Gee, ya think?
  5. the child porn was not visible to naked eye on Man Fired When Laptop Malware Downloaded Porn · · Score: 2, Funny
    From the summary:

    Computer forensic analyst Tami Loehrs, who spent a month dissecting the computer for the defense, explained in a 30-page report that the laptop was running corrupted virus-protection software, and Fiola was hit by spammers and crackers bombarding its memory with images of incest and pre-teen porn not visible to the naked eye. Of course, there's a lesson in this. If you're going to surf for porn and you actually want to see it, you must clothe your eyes.
  6. What's the harm of this? on Mac OS X Root Escalation Through AppleScript · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is it really bad for an attacker to find out who I am using this "whoami" thingy?

  7. Re:You can't be this naive ... on Wikileaks Gets Hold of Counterinsurgency Manual · · Score: 1

    What do you suggest? Asking the insurgents nicely to go home? Erm, they *are* home. It's the occupying army that needs to go home.

    Please define "good guys". consumer electronics salesmen?
  9. Re:War is fun! on Wikileaks Gets Hold of Counterinsurgency Manual · · Score: 1

    Well, that's certainly what American leaders wish to believe. A major problem is that in this case all we did was replace "Oppressive Bad Guy 1 antagonist to the U.S." with "Oppressive Bad Guy 2 sympathetic to the Islamic Republic of Iran."

  10. Re:Cause found, not to worry. on Mozilla Outage On Firefox 3 Record Launch Day · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well, der. If Ballmer personally sent a cake every single time a competitor (or potential competitor) released a product, he'd do nothing all day but send cakes. Yeah, that would really cut into valuable chair-throwing time.
  11. wrong acronym on California Cracks Down On Genetic Testing · · Score: 1

    I thought it was the Genetic Nomological Association of America, or GNAA .... they have been causing trouble around here for a while.

  12. Re:You don't own your DNA on California Cracks Down On Genetic Testing · · Score: 2, Informative

    I heard that they will pass over your infringement if you post some of your DNA over your front door... Just put some blood on the door and you will be spared the C&D!

  13. Re:MAD is Dead on Nuclear Warhead Blueprints On Smugglers' Computers · · Score: 1

    OK; that has no relevance to the situation in Iran. The only way you would see Iran using a nuclear weapon is if some external power was unwise enough to invade Iran.

  14. Re:Link to the Youtube Video on R2-D2 Monitors Your Web Servers · · Score: 1

    The site is getting hammered by slashdot Isn't R2-D2 sorting out all the extra traffic?

    You want your smartphone to periodically make bizarre predictions and go off on rants about Apple?

  16. Re:MAD is Dead on Nuclear Warhead Blueprints On Smugglers' Computers · · Score: 1

    You can say that about terrorist groups who don't answer to any state apparatus, but you're a moron if you think that's true of Iran. Religious fanatics or not, they are not going to sign their country's own death warrant.

  17. Re:Predation of livestock on Geohashing Meets an Angry Rancher With Firearms · · Score: 1

    yeah I'm convinced a coyote won't attack a human who isn't fucking with him in some way. A lot of people are afraid of them but they are basically just big mangy dogs. They will eat cats though and little dogs and probably a little baby if the parents were stupid enough to leave it unattended after sundown in Griffith Park. But in general I'm far more afraid of the occasional skunk I see in the area.

  18. MacOS had this too on Denon's $499 Ethernet Cable · · Score: 1

    At one time, RAM Doubler was one of the most popular accessories for MacOS (before OS X of course).

    Jesus, where in Phoenix do you live? Home invasion is a serious enough problem for every citizen to keep at least 3 guns nearby? Are you sure you didn't mean to say Baghdad?

  22. Re:Predation of livestock on Geohashing Meets an Angry Rancher With Firearms · · Score: 1

    Coyotes however are also much better at living close to humans. I saw one in my backyard twice this year and I live 5 miles from one of the ten largest cities in the US. I live in one of those cities and I see them all the time. In Los Angeles if you live near the hills you will often see coyotes basically wandering the streets. Mostly on or near the bottom of the hills but in Hollywood I've seen them in residential neighborhoods as far south as Melrose Ave.

    To you city folks who think this is wrong, how would you like to wake up and find me in your living room? I don't know; are you making breakfast?

  25. You're doing it wrong on EFF Wins Promo CD Resale Case · · Score: 1
    The proper way to do this is using the Stephen King Obituary Troll Generator, like this:

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - NBC News Host Tim Russert was found dead in his Washington, DC home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the liberal media elite community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to journalism. Truly an American icon.
    What? He's really dead? Oh, forget it then...
