  1. Re:hacky on ICANN Considers Using '127.0.53.53' To Tackle DNS Namespace Collisions · · Score: 5, Funny

    ICANT think of anything better.

  2. Mr Stallman sir... on Interview: Ask Richard Stallman What You Will · · Score: 1

    Two questions... Why is QBASIC still the most fun piece of software on my computer? And when can X11 die?

  3. Re:Singapore and Hong Kong on Who's On WhatsApp, and Why? · · Score: 1

    They'll be even happier knowing uncle Zucky is watching.

  6. Error: Sprocket Jam on Who's On WhatsApp, and Why? · · Score: 1

    The app, won't delete. The service, won't uninstall. The error, that my version of WhatsApp is updated and I have to upgrade, appears even before my phone considers connecting to the internet. No thank you, I would like to uninstall please. No? Sigh. Screw it, I'll just use the iPhone.

  7. Re:Facebook was dumb. on WhatsApp Founder Used Unchangable Airline Ticket To Pressure Facebook · · Score: 2

    70% of people get automatically logged in by their phone each day, maybe. I've been trying to delete WhatsApp, but the uninstaller just doesn't seem to work. Seems like a pretty good way to claim 70% are online if you're actually saying 70% of phones are switched on. Unless they actually have message counts from these 315 million people daily users... and they all high-five each day when people just love typin' on their pioneering piece of chat window... but that would be weird, if they knew I was a 'heavy user' and that it was a chronic problem... I mean what..........

  8. To simplify... on Stack Overflow Could Explain Toyota Vehicles' Unintended Acceleration · · Score: 1

    @(stack.overflow) { throttle: "open" } oh darn they dun goofed. oh well! let's close our eyes and hope it never happens again!!

  9. Re:Just got here on The Ultimate Hopes For the New Cosmos Series · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Ha! It was the first! That means beta doesn't suck! Just kidding. #fuckbeta.

  10. So whiney, Slashdot... on More Bitcoin Exchanges Forced Out of Sync After Massive DDoS Attack · · Score: 1

    Is it just the fact that it's BitCoin (the massively overinvested) that makes you guys moan so much? Do you accept that cryptocurrency is a good idea, and an inevitable pathway for our supposedly technologically enlightened species? Do you see potential in Ripple? Controlled online merchant unions? Or are you waiting for your bank to add a swipe strip to your computer where your CD drive used to be?

  13. I kind of agree on HTML5 App For Panasonic TVs Rejected - JQuery Is a "Hack" · · Score: 4, Informative

    JQuery is a hack. A useful one, but still a hack. You should be accountable for all your production code, and there's really nothing jQuery does that you can't do yourself with only a little more effort. http://youmightnotneedjquery.c... #incaseyoumissedit

  14. Can't hear anything over the whirring fans on Engineers Invent Acoustic Equivalent of One-Way Glass · · Score: 1

    Really drowns out the reverse transmission, doesn't it? Filter error: Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING.

  15. Re:Reminds of this from the late George Carlin... on Bees Are Building Nests With Our Waste Plastic · · Score: 1

    Nope, they came out of the ocean.

  16. Hell, I'll fund it. on Why Birds Fly In a V Formation · · Score: 1

    If you're checking whether they orient their balls towards the sun before they lick, then yes, you're sure to get funding.

  17. Re:Cause and effect may be backwards on Daily Pot Use Tied To Age of First Psychotic Episode · · Score: 1

    I'll bring the melons. - P.

  18. Shit just got real-time? on Swarms of Small Satellites Set To Deliver Close To Real-Time Imagery of Earth · · Score: 2

    ..."photograph huge swathes of the planet as often as several times each day — a frequency much higher than that achieved by current Earth-observing satellites." Well no wonder ananyo didn't include anything about latency in his summary. Chaturbate is close to real-time. This is not.

  19. Good on you, Yahoo... on Yahoo Advertising Serves Up Malware For Thousands · · Score: 1

    If that's the whole statement, then wow... that's really pathetic.

  20. Re: KNetworkManager on Linux Distributions Storing Wi-Fi Passwords In Plain Text · · Score: 1

    I meant more as in human analytical time. If you write some clever code to obfuscate the way you access a file in a way that's elaborate, clever and unpublished, it's going to take a theoretical attacker a pretty long time to work out what the hell kind of bullshit you were doing. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it can easily be not worth the time.

  21. Re: KNetworkManager on Linux Distributions Storing Wi-Fi Passwords In Plain Text · · Score: 1

    I'd choose multi-layer obfuscation over a P,Q elliptic curve where NIST chooses Q any day.

  22. Re: KNetworkManager on Linux Distributions Storing Wi-Fi Passwords In Plain Text · · Score: 1

    Ah yes, the attacker. With his suite of attacking tools for hacking every obfuscation scheme thought up in existence. And that other tool for decrypting multiple layers in one go. Or maybe it's simpler. He looks at the memory. The password will be inevitably held in a string variable somewhere. He's like batman, but not batman.

  23. Re: KNetworkManager on Linux Distributions Storing Wi-Fi Passwords In Plain Text · · Score: 1

    There are _many_ ways to store information in ways that would take hours, days, weeks, months to decipher. Plaintext is not one of them.

  24. Re:That's what you get on USB Sticks Used In Robbery of ATMs · · Score: 1

    So they'll need a USB mouse as well as a USB stick. I guess that's something.

  25. Re:Boosted For Days After... on Brain Function "Boosted For Days After Reading a Novel" · · Score: 3, Funny

    Beautiful code needs no comments.
