  1. Re:PHP is fine on Modern PHP: New Features and Good Practices · · Score: 1, Troll

    PHP is inherently insecure. You can't have a web platform language with constant patches. One day your fine, the next, rooted. Stay away.

  2. Re:certs on Ask Slashdot - Breaking Into Penetration Testing At 30 · · Score: 1

    CISSP teaches you NOTHING about pen testing. If you want to really learn, go here: https://www.offensive-security... It's good and cheap.

  3. Re:So. Effing. What. on U.S. Gas Stations Vulnerable To Internet Attacks · · Score: 1

    Read The Fine Article. Serial ports on storage systems aren't connected to the Internet either. (sigh)

  4. So. Effing. What. on U.S. Gas Stations Vulnerable To Internet Attacks · · Score: 0

    You could do interesting things to my car via the OBD-2 port, but I don't lose any sleep over that either. Rapid7 is a security products vendor. EVERYTHING they do is to further their interest in SELLING PRODUCTS. (Nothing wrong with that.) But I am damn tired of security product vendors telling me the sky is falling.

    This is a great idea. Let's call this file "hosts"! Now, where to put it?

    Not only are they not posted here because they are not relevant to the story, if they were, they'd be yanked by the mods in seconds.

  8. Re:Anonymity? on Facebook Sets Up Shop On Tor · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Oh, even better. What root CA is signing off on .onion domains now?

    Yet again, because people have no g*d damn clue how SSL works, we have to live with encryption that, in practice, is TOTALLY MEANINGLESS!

  9. Re:New low on Interviews: Ask Florian Mueller About Software Patents and Copyrights · · Score: 0

    Perhaps you didn't read all of my comment. Go f*ck yourself. There is not a single word you can say that I would put any value in whatsoever. You are a despicable pandering leach, a festering boil on the buttocks of society, the worst kind of lying shill. You're a two-bit whore. You're not good enough to be truly evil so you cling to those that are masters. You bring no value to anything. You are a waste of skin.

    That, and SCOTUS has not had their say. APIs are NOT a creative expression. APIs are purely functional.

  10. Re:A simple link to the code? on Anonabox Accused of Lying About Its Product Being Open-Source On Kickstarter · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No, I'm sorry, but if the vendor of a privacy product lies about how the product was developed, why would you trust them? The first thing you buy with a product like this is trust.

    If you are not good enough for Pamela Jones (PJ), you are not good enough for me.

    Really, who is responsible for this train wreck? Is the Slashdot editorial staff all twenty-somethings now? Read GrokLaw, you idiots.

    Oh, you want a question? Here's one. Hey Florian Mueller. When is there a good time to tell you to go f*ck yourself? Is now good? GO F*CK YOURSELF!

  14. Re:And, of course ... on Oracle Buying Micros Systems For $5.3 Billion · · Score: 2

    You don't need to buy Micros to get your hands on that data!

    (Hint: Micros has suffered some really bad breaches in the past, basically hanging their customers out to dry.)

  15. Re:GPL release that Sun did might seem to apply... on Court: Oracle Entitled To Copyright Protection Over Some Parts of Java · · Score: 1

    The components of Android that Oracle is having a problem with is app level interfaces, not the totality of the Android hardware. Hardware drivers are clearly out-of-scope.

  16. Re:You can't copyright facts on Court: Oracle Entitled To Copyright Protection Over Some Parts of Java · · Score: 2

    I can be creative in solving a math problem, but the expression itself I create is purely functional. You cannot copyright a process, only creative expressions.

    If ever there was a time we needed you... :(

  18. Re:Militia, then vs now on Retired SCOTUS Justice Wants To 'Fix' the Second Amendment · · Score: 1

    About $.12 a round, actually. 7.62x54R is cheaper than .22 LR. 50+ year old ammo works great!

    (For the record, I've killed zero people with my gun. Come and take it.)

  19. Re:Militia, then vs now on Retired SCOTUS Justice Wants To 'Fix' the Second Amendment · · Score: 4, Informative

    You really have no idea. Go find a Mosin Nagant, an ancient Russian military rifle capable of hitting a target at over 200 yards with a high-power round for about $100.

    Are expensive guns better than cheap ones? Sure! But there are cheap (and effective) guns for anyone who wants one.

    Yeah, are you sick of that story of the Indian kid who got his CISSP at the age of 12? Well, here's a 5 year old with a published vulnerability!

    Trademark, not copyright. But yes, trademarking a color seems excessive.

    In other news, Carolyn Lawson has apparently never worked a large IT development for government before.

  25. Re:Sure on Supreme Court Ruling Relaxes Warrant Requirements For Home Searches · · Score: 1

    Hey, it's an approach. Nothing works until it gets past a judge. It would have made for a better argument than the one he used (maybe).

    Don't get me wrong. I'm not supporting a street thug. But law is a logic puzzle mixed with human irrationality. For instance, check out the genius who called me an idiot below. "That's not fair, so it can't be right!" Nope, doesn't work that way.
