    Yes it don't matter to anyone not looking to never make any conversation.

  2. Re:Another failed social project from Microsoft on Microsoft Tests Social Search Waters With 'so.cl' Network · · Score: 1

    Mainstream tech coverage is barely above tabloids.

    I came here to say "that's why independent tech podcasts are so important" but then I realized my own tech podcast was completely and utterly irrelevant :(

    You have to understand something important here:

    I'm karma whoring for the next Apple thread. :)

  4. Re:Context? on Apple to Buy Back $10bn of Its Shares and Pay Dividend · · Score: 5, Informative

    There are some medium-long term downsides to this, should Apple fall hard in the long term (ie; tablets prove to just be a trend, iPhone sales fall, etc...), but this is what investors have been waiting for. This is a fairly large buyback, which will inflate the price of the shares even more, but it's a small amount of money for Apple to be investing in itself.

    This will more than likely force AAPL above $600 for the remainder of the financial year (and probably closer to $700).

  5. Re:Oh please on Marketing Agency Uses Homeless As Wi-Fi Hotspots · · Score: 2

    There are a lot more people who are homeless who aren't begging for spare change at your local grocery store than you seem to be aware of. Many of these people actually still have some dignity left to seek out help at a homeless shelter, and to bust their asses to find paying work instead of turning to bumming.

    You just don't notice them because they use whatever spare money they can muster up to buy a gym membership and shower there.

  10. Every time apple says something ... on Want Flash Player On a MacBook Air? Download It Yourself · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Every time Apple says something like this, I get the uneasy feeling of working with a slick-haired businessman who promises that they've got nothing bad planned for the future, but then fuck you in the ass with Perry Saturn's mop.

  13. Re:I don't get the math on APB To Close Mere Months After Launch · · Score: 2, Informative

    A nice chunk of change for an individual ... but there are multiple costs that have to be addressed (servers, development, PR, marketing, etc...), salaries to be paid (code monkeys still get a paycheck, CEO's demand high wages), and probably investors that are demanding a return.

    To be honest, $3.64M per month just doesn't seem like enough.

    (Oh, and taxes, let's not forget those)

  14. So tired on 7 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Outbreak Would Fail · · Score: 3, Informative

    So, so tired of zombies, pirates, ninjas, and robots. Jesus, Internet, can you please latch on to something else? Anything? I know whatever it is you latch on to will still get annoying, with 18 year old girls running around pretending to be cute and funny, but just being fucking annoying, but for the love of god, let the Zombie bullshit die.

  17. Re:Well, what did they expect? on Wikileaks Receiving Gestapo Treatment? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    you see, as soon as someone starts as reply with "wrong." i automatically assume them to be a genuine fucking idiot.

    Instead of providing evidence to back up your statement you reply as if a 16 year old on a hormonal trip would. As such, Im forced to treat you like the simpleton you really are and explain my post as simply as possible:

    Once a classified document is leaked, measures are taken to ensure that the leak does not spread. While secufrity clearances are still enforced, the document itself is treated as being in danger of becomming public knowledge. Measures are then taken to ensure the document isnt leaked.

    Until the security of the document can be ensured, it is considered to be classified but insecure. If the document is widle leaked then for all intents and purpolses, it is no longer classified, despite the official classification

    But considering you have the intellectual capacity of a 12 year old, I'll leave you with this: go fuck yourself, shit for brains.

  18. Re:Well, what did they expect? on Wikileaks Receiving Gestapo Treatment? · · Score: 0

    But is Wikileaks the entity that gets to decide what should and shouldn't be classified?

    Once a document has been seen by someone without the proper clearance that document is no longer considered to have its classification level. Every action taken by the government after they have been made aware of the leak is to stop the distribution of said document and to possibly destroy it and any copies that were made.

    So, is Wikileaks a gatekeeper in this sense? No, not really. The secrets in the documents are considered to be breached, and at that point it's just a matter of distribution of those non secrets.

    AFAIK there are two exploits:

    Even still, this blog post is fucking useless. What CMS? What input is not being validated? Is it an underlying problem with Drupal? Wordpress? Joomla? What version?

    On top of that, it doesn't give any recommendations for what end users could do to protect themselves. Does anti-virus software already detect it? Can you simply alter your hosts file? Disable Javascript?

    The blog post is completely fucking useless.
