    Thanks for the obligatory Forbes link. They're a top trusted name in tech journalism. Plus I haven't had my RDA of malware this morning.

  4. Steely Eyed Missile Man

    Well there's your problem...
    We just need another program that the military can use as a stalking horse for their priorities.

    Of course, that didn't work out too well with v2.0 (the Shuttle program)...

    The shooter snapped because, driving for Uber, he couldn't make a living wage in a high-rent city like Kalamazoo.

  11. Re:Why are the Olympics held in shitholes? on Rio Has Given Up On Clean Water For Olympics (go.com) · · Score: 1

    Why do third-world shitholes even bid for the Olympics then?

    Because all the smart countries have finally sussed up (after 30 years) that hosting the Olympics is a white elephant.


    Let's recap :
    2016 Rio - corrupt shithole with rampant poverty
    2014 Sochi - Russia is a corrupt shithole
    2012 London - OK, these next two I can't find much to fault them with...
    2010 Vancouver - horrific bigfoot pogrom (look it up on the internet)
    2008 Bejing - have you tasted their air? Also, a fine example of a repressive government, May 35th 1989, anyone? Oh, and corruption, or is that redundant here?
    2006 Turin - Italy has turned corruption into an art.
    2004 Athens - destroyed their economy.


    And really Brazil, why not take the opportunity to spend some of that graft building waste treatment plants that will serve your population well after the games are over?
    But I see I have answered my own question...

  12. Easy, if you have a time machine.


    Or think you do.

  13. You're supposed to be running for president!

    A Trump / McAfee ticket is the closest thing we can get to having President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho in real life.

    Hey NSA, &other FED LEOs - don't destroy the infrastructure of the world economy with your abject incompetence. You can't even effectively make use of the encrypted data you already collect.

  17. Tim Cook's wrong you know on Congressman: Court Order To Decrypt iPhone Has Far-Reaching Implications (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    1. In this case, we have a lawful order from a court. Legally and morally, Apple should comply.
    2. Seems to me the SDK would include a way to dump the contents of a phone and a simulator. So it's just a simple script to spin up a virtual image, enter a passcode and repeat until the phone unlocks. Are you telling me the Apple developer's kit doesn't have that functionality? I bet the NSA developer's kit does.
