  1. Re:Putting his money where his mouth is on Richard Stallman Falls Ill At Conference · · Score: 3, Funny

    Do you really hold the "first post" to such high standards on the internet?

  2. Re:Bad Systems Design? on 55,000 Twitter Accounts Hacked, Passwords Leaked · · Score: 4, Funny

    Nah, they just tried "12345" on all the accounts.
    I think they saw it in a movie once.

    seems more like he is building a case for rules to govern the internet, justifying "big brother" tactics, and random stealing of servers from server racks by the FBI.

    Agreed, I believe Futurama said it best.

    No, he only has an issue with it because he finally got accosted like the rest of us.

  8. Re:Eh? This is how Skype works? on Microsoft Using Linux To Optimize Skype Traffic · · Score: 1

    Nah, I think it speaks to the scalability, maturity, and flexibility of Linux vs MS.
    Although it should be logical to people, some seem to treat it as "fanboiism", when in fact, it celebrates one OS over the other.

  13. Re:A failure of conventional hack-ism ? on Google Ups Bug Bounty To $20,000 · · Score: 1

    I agree. It would also force companies to invest in proper security and proper QA practices to prevent these payouts.

  14. Re:A failure of conventional hack-ism ? on Google Ups Bug Bounty To $20,000 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Nope, it means they are offering proper market value for bugs found in their systems and are confident enough to offer such high bounties for them.

    If, however, this were Microsoft or Apple, they would not offer such high amounts as bounties as they would soon go bankrupt from the financial burden of paying out these bounties.

    So, not only is Google saying "we are confident and proud of our product" they are also saying "we know there are bugs and even though we are confident in our products we are willing to pay out for people finding them".

  15. Re:How Silly on US Journalists Targeted By Pentagon Propaganda Contractors · · Score: 1

    That's just trolling, I've done the same thing to old high school buddies. If this is "InfoOps" then it is simply laughable.

    Thus showing the maturity level of this type of thing.

    I figure it is because they dont feel they need to update since Apple products are soooo secure.

    What does that mean internet bully?

  20. Re:So.... on If You Resell Your Used Games, the Terrorists Win · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it was a play on that commercial which claimed SUVs support terrorism because gas profits in part go towards terrorists?
    Although, I love the in article statement that games would be cheaper had resellers never ventured to sell used games... BAHAHAHAHA.
    These guys are just money grubbing assholes, which I equate to the RIAA and MPAA.

    I would call this purchase a one off. It is not representative of the "tech bubble", because only FB is affected.
    However, i do believe there is another tech bubble.

    So dark matter is a filler. Much like religion.
    Great! So, if I dont know about something and I dont believe in religious things, Ill call it Dark Matter.

    That is my point though. Hype makes bubbles bigger and they expand faster than they should.

    Although you are correct and the OPs post is pretty dumb, we are in another tech bubble.
    It started when the "cloud" stuff started happening.
    So... just be careful.
