  1. Oh the irony on Spammers Use Holes In Democrats.org Security · · Score: 2, Funny

    John McCain never left his email server open for this sort of exploit!

  2. Hire Neo on Applied Security Visualization · · Score: 1

    What you do is tail all your logs to a console, sit Neo in front of said console, and have him detect changes in the patterns.

    I once worked for a network security startup that had almost exactly this strategy.

    They didn't do very well, I'm afraid.

  3. Obligatory South Park Reference on Google Says Complete Privacy Does Not Exist · · Score: 1

    Google: I am above the law!! [the lock falls forward, and he dabs some SPOOGE gel to put it back in place] Mr. Chef, I'm afraid you leave me no alternative. We're going to sue you.

    Owner: Sue me?! You came onto my private property, clearly marked, took pictures, put them on the internet, and you are going to sue me?!

    Google: Yes. I suggest you get a real good lawyer. We'll have the best in the business.

  4. Atrocity Archives on AI Could Power Next-gen CCTV Cameras · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Obviously ignored by way too many.

    Pity, that.

    Though, I am looking forward to lasered cows in Milton Keynes. Milton Keynes. Sorry, but ugh.

    Pity we can't have the RIAA keeping the Mexicans out on the Southern border, and the Muslims out on the Northern border.

  8. send them home on UK Academics Arrested For Researching al-Qaida · · Score: 0, Troll

    Everywhere the Muslims go, they cause trouble.

    God bless you. Funniest comment in the entire list of threads.

    Jesus H. Christ! Take a gift without snarling, can't you?

  11. Re:He SHOULD Be On Trial on Author Faces Canadian Tribunal For Hate Speech · · Score: 1

    The "breeding like mosquitoes" is an actual quote from an actual imam.

    Nicely smeared, however.

  12. Yes, Minister... on Whitehouse Emails Were Lost Due to "Upgrade" · · Score: 1

    At least they weren't lost in the floods of 1967.

  13. Incest and Dragons. on The Children of Hurin · · Score: 1

    This book gives you incest and dragons. Tastefully done. What more could you want?

  14. Musicla Dice Game on Commodore 128 on The Geometry of Music · · Score: 1

    Back in the day, and I mean *back* in the day, Compute! magazine published an article about a dice game for generating minuets that was popular in Mozart's time. Pick two random start conditions, walk a set of states, et voila, a minuet.

    I thought I had the actual issue, but I can't find it. Probably one of the documents fortunately lost in the floods of 1967, or somesuch.

  15. TSA on MacBook Air Confuses Airport Security · · Score: 1

    Thousands, Standing Around.

  16. Dilbert rides again... on More Federal Workers are Telecommuting · · Score: 1

    Wasn't there a Dilbert comic a few years back, where Dogbert described his dream job to the boss...

    Pointy-Haired Boss: "So, you'd stay at home and we'd send you checks?"

    Dogbert: "Actually, I was hoping for direct deposit."

  17. T-Mobile Phones? on New Jersey Bars Sex Offenders From the Internet · · Score: 1

    Doesn't T-Mobile market a phone that switches to WiFi when WiFi's available? Could a sex offender violate this law simply by making a phone call?

  18. Aussies may want to support REAL ID on Australia Scraps National ID Plan · · Score: 1
    According to Wikipedia:

    Under the REAL ID Act, nationals of Australia are eligible to receive a special E-3 visa. This provision was the result of negotiations between the two countries that also led to the Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement which came into force on January 1, 2005.
  19. My God! We've done it all wrong! on The Afterlife Is Expensive for Digital Movies · · Score: 2, Funny

    Back to analog, everyone.

  20. This is pretty funny... on Microsoft Complains About Google's Monopoly Abuse · · Score: 1

    Hey y'all, watch this!

  25. Does anyone still listen? on Radio May Have To Pay To Play · · Score: 2, Informative

    Once you get satellite radio, you never go back.

    I think the bigger story here is how terrestrial radio broadcasters utterly squandered a franchise.
