  1. Welcome to Technology. Shit happens. on Heartbleed Coder: Bug In OpenSSL Was an Honest Mistake · · Score: 1

    Nobody cares, and if they do, they don't understand.

  2. Does it look like Backup Exec 2012? on Symantec Fires CEO Steve Bennett · · Score: 1

    Because that was a piece of shit.

  3. Server maintenance? on Internet Radio's "Last Stand" · · Score: 1

    I'd hate to be the guy that had to swap out the backup tapes.

  4. Site indexing requires human intervention... on New Search Engine Cuil Takes Aim At Google · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Cuil is the biggest search engine on the planet. In our quest to let users search as much of the Internet as possible, Cuil has indexed more than 120 billion pages so far.

    If you would like Cuil to crawl your site and have it included in our index, please let us know."

    This, with "please let us know" as a hyperlink to crawler@cuil.com.

    I feel sorry for poor Jim.

    While he's not tending to his horses, he's been parsing 160 Billion emails.

  5. I hope I can put a giant cock on my Avatar... on Google Launches Lively, an Avatar Based 3D World · · Score: 0, Troll

    Then we'll see who the ladies listen to when we recommend SciFi novels. P.S. It'll be me, because my avatar will have a giant cock.

  6. Coutroom Proceedings Transcript Here on Hans Reiser Guilty of First Degree Murder · · Score: 1

    Judge Hank "The Hangman" BMW: "Shut up! Shut up! Now, prosecutor, why you think he done it?"

    Prosecutor: "Okay, number one, Your Honor, just look at him."

    Frito: "He talks like a fag too."

    Prosecutor: "And B, we got all this, like, evidence of how, like, this guy didn't even pay at the hospital. And I heard that he doesn't even have his tattoo. I know! And I'm all, 'You've gotta be shittin' me.' But check this out, man. Judge should be like, 'Guilty'. Peace."

  7. These "studies" are really starting to piss me off on Picture-Sorting Dogs Show Human-Like Thought · · Score: 1

    Dogs know when other dogs are on TV. Cats know when other animals are on TV. They even sell Cat-Sitter and Dog-Sitter DVDs, and they work because Dogs and Cats have these things called "eyes" that allow them to see shit, and with these eyes, they are able to differentiate between say, a dog on TV, an open doorway, and a wall. Please stop wasting my god damned money. Please?

  8. Detects Invisible Intruders My Ass... on New Way to ID Invisible Intruders on Wireless LANs · · Score: 1

    If a wireless NIC is in passive, promiscuous mode, it doesn't have to send any data out. It doesn't associate itself with the access point, it doesn't ask permission from the network to be there, and it doesn't need to send any response to anything. It's just "listening" and collecting packets as they go to and fro, in the open air. In order to triangulate anything, particularly based on response-time, the intruding node would have to respond, which it doesn't. This is just another half-hearted attempt to squeeze blood out of the turnip that is wireless security. I've sat back and watched bogus installation after bogus implementation of WiFi security measures, everything from Radius utilizing PEAP to centralized management and all access points switched from autonomous to thin mode in an effort to secure a wireless network. Oh, but make sure we leave a WEP-only SSID, because we have legacy equipment that only supports an unencrypted network, or 64 bit WEP. I can't wait to see this implemented!

  9. Should have just used LOGO to drive them... on Meet the Drivers Behind NASA's Mars Rovers · · Score: 5, Funny

    Forward 4000 Wait 2400 Left 80 Wait 2400 Shit...where's my turtle? Guys?...

  10. Re:Wait a minute... on Storm Worm Strikes Back at Security Pros · · Score: 1

    I wasn't sure what a Turkish pastry had to do with physical security until I attempted to respond to this post with a mediocre pun about Turkish pastries... It became clear to me as soon as I saw that the CAPTCA word for this reply was baklava.

  11. Patch cables are now easier than ever! on IEEE Seeks For Ethernet To 'Go Green' · · Score: 5, Funny

    So a straight-through is: Green white / Green / Green white / Green / Green white / Green / Green white / Green Sweet. Crossovers then would be: Green white / Green / Green white / Green white / Green / Green / Green / Green white So much easier to remember! Thanks, IEEE!

  12. Re:Great for chainmaillers on A Cleaner, Cheaper Route to Titanium · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sweet deal, that's what.. +4, +5 against illegal immigrants?

    No, seriously. Who would buy titanium chainmail? Some pretty serious D&Ders in here...

    Oh well, at least it'll drive down the price of the MacBook.

  13. Not necessarily.... on A Look at FreeNAS Server · · Score: 4, Informative

    I can't comment on FreeNAS, because I have never used it, but Quantum Snap NAS devices (which were later rebranded as Dell PowerVault NAS devices) handle decent loads (100+ users at a time), and utilize a proprietary *nix OS with 32MB onboard ram and a MASSIVE Pentium 233 MMX. It's also doing software RAID. I'd say "Any Old Box" is probably a good fit.

  14. In other news... on Pirates Promise Improved Version of DaVinci Code · · Score: 5, Funny

    This Slashdot "news item" was formulated overseas, and we anticipate a more newsworthy post within the next month.

  15. It's an E-Scanno... on Scanjet Music · · Score: 1

    But will it do the ultimate song? Boston's "More Than A Feeling"?

  16. Call me nutty... on White House: No Kerry Supporters at IATC Meeting · · Score: 4, Funny

    But who would want bipartisan support on the same committee? Democrats at the same table as Republicans? That's just crazy talk.

  17. New live-action series on Lucas Confirms Star Wars spin-off TV series · · Score: 3, Funny

    If they're looking for a space pilot, I hear Scott Bakula's looking for a job...

  18. Almost as good as Dragon Dictate! on Detecting Speech Without Microphones · · Score: 1

    Now translating all of your childhood favorites! "Old McDonalds on a farm, EIDE/IO."

  19. How long before... on New Vulnerability Affects All Browsers · · Score: 1

    You open your online banking messages to find...

    Good day,

    I am Isaac Shongwe, Prescient Investment, South Africa. This is an
    urgent and confidential business proposition...

  20. Of course Congress won't let NASA do this... on NASA Hoping To Create Super X-Prizes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Big Corporation won't like it, because it'll take money out of their pocket, and the congressmen have to look out for corporations. For the people, my ass. It's all about who's putting food on the other's table, and if you think congressmen aren't in Lockheed and others' pocketbooks, well, have I got a tin foil hat with your name on it.

  21. All that work... on Impressive Half Life 2 Case Mod · · Score: 1

    ...and it was still done before Steam had his copy of HL2 unlocked.

  22. We're SLASHING prices! on Steve Ballmer's $100 PC, Sans Windows · · Score: 1

    ...using assembly lines full of 8 year old Bangladeshi girls.
