  1. Re:not supposed to be on the web! on Bash To Require Further Patching, As More Shellshock Holes Found · · Score: 2

    I'm not sure bash was ever intended to be involved in web facing applications. That's not what it's for! Once you go down that road, even indirectly, there's a lot that can go wrong.

    Maybe next someone will run arbitrary user input from the web through g++, execute it in ring 0, and call it a security hole?

    Ah. So you've heard of systemd?

    Dun, dun, dun, tsss. Is it getting hot in here?

    How To Keep Student's Passwords Secure?

    How about we do away with passwords and have the kids get mandatory, government issued, RFID chips imbedded under their skin. Problem solved!

    Hmmm, practicing standup on /.? Don't quit your day job.

  4. Dongs on Dremel Releases 3D Printer · · Score: 1

    The new 3D printer has a 9-in. x 5.9-in. x 5.5-in

    You could make a wide variety of big colorful dongs with this thing! For... educational uses of course.

  5. Third-Party Doctrine on Next Android To Enable Local Encryption By Default Too, Says Google · · Score: 0

    it leaves unresolved the tension between security and convenience when both companies' devices are configured to upload user content to iCloud and Google+ servers for backup and synchronization across devices

    The existence of the Third-Party Doctrine makes the decision simple for me.

  6. Re:This is offtopic, I know on The Case For a Federal Robotics Commission · · Score: 1

    Thanks. I really just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one. I spent the bulk of the last 15 modding APK's posts as troll. :)

  7. This is offtopic, I know on The Case For a Federal Robotics Commission · · Score: 1

    I keep getting 15 moderator points regularly. This is the 4th or 5th time in a row. How could that be?

  8. Re:What are the bounds of property? on Justice Sotomayor Warns Against Tech-Enabled "Orwellian" World · · Score: 4, Insightful

    In a perfect world, people would be polite and ASK if they could take photos of you or your property. But in this reality, people can do whatever they want without thinking about anyone else. Empathy is frowned upon. It's mine and I want it NOW NOW NOW. Wah! he's not letting me do whatever I want to! What an asshole!

  9. Meh on The Documents From Google's First DMV Test In Nevada · · Score: 1

    Let me know when these things can drive themselves in the rain and snow. Until then, yawn.

    Chinese Man Sues State-Owned Cell Phone Company For Blocking Google

    Instead of suing, he should be thankful for the privacy service they are providing.

    Can I pay Verizon to block Google for me?

    Which is precisely why everyone ignores nerds.

    Right, because only "nerds" jump to conclusions.

  13. Re:Nothing is ever good enough on Scientists Sequence Coffee Genome, Ponder Genetic Modification · · Score: 1

    Don't fuck with my coffee!!!

    What, you don't like creamer?

    I do. Nothing beats hot, fresh, ropey jets of jism in my morning coffee. Its DNA changes all the time. My coffees doesn't. That's how it should stay.

  15. Re:old message on Steve Ballmer Authored the Windows 3.1 Ctrl-Alt-Del Screen · · Score: 1

    So this is something you'd prefer?

    That looks like something the BOFH would do. Yes, No, close button - they would all be devastating.

  16. Windows 8 on Steve Ballmer Authored the Windows 3.1 Ctrl-Alt-Del Screen · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well, at least it doesn't have a childish sad-face imoticon like the Windows 8 version.

  17. Hype on Hidden Obstacles For Google's Self-Driving Cars · · Score: 1

    Google often leaves the impression that, as a Google executive once wrote, the cars can “drive anywhere a car can legally drive.”

    Wow, that's just a big ol' lie isn't it?

  18. Re:Ineffective advertising on Dell's New Alienware Case Goes to Extremes To Prevent Overheating · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Overrated? Come on, it totally looks like an ash tray.

  19. Re:Ineffective advertising on Dell's New Alienware Case Goes to Extremes To Prevent Overheating · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm anything BUT an Apple fan, but I think their new design for the Mac Pro is better looking and probably more functional from a shape perspective than this idea from Alienware. Glad to see manufacturers trying new things, but I hope they keep looking.

    That thing makes me want to start smoking again so I could ash in it.

  20. Profit on Teaching College Is No Longer a Middle Class Job · · Score: 4, Insightful

    At a time when tuition prices are rising faster than ever, why are we skimping on the most fundamental aspect of college?

    Because profit is all that matters?

    Gimp wars! I've gone back in time!

  22. Sigh on Chicago Adding Sensors For Public Monitoring · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The goal of the project is to build a permanent data collection infrastructure to monitor things that might help government officials, researchers and companies better understand the city environment.

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

  23. Re:What about a kill switch for Google and Microso on Google and Microsoft Plan Kill Switches On Smartphones · · Score: 2

    Bah. They are both terrible. Google gets the blame for pushing personal information gathering to new heights. Everyone else is seeing what they are getting away with and are following suit.
