  1. That would be embarassing on Radio Waves Can Be Used To Hijack Androids and iPhones Via Siri and Google Now · · Score: 1

    Ask someone's Siri where the horse dick is. Ask someone's Siri where the hard drugs are. Ask someone's Siri where the inflateable dolls are. Make sure you target politicians, you pranksters...

    it is not the C language that is the problem, it is the programmers who are using it that are the problem. they are not educated in good programming practices. most people who want to be programmers should never be allowed to become programmers. unfortunately right now lots of narcissistic nerds want to become programmers because they think it's glamorous somehow.
