  1. Meh on US Gov't Assisted Iranian Gov't Mobile Wiretaps · · Score: 2, Insightful

    America, eventually everything is our fault. What's next? Are we going to get blamed for fast food? The Olsen twins? NBC 'Must See' TV?

  2. Re:And BOOM on 1K JavaScript Madness · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm not impressed ... maybe I'll try again, but this time I'll turn off NoScript.

  3. Re:I'm sure Twitter is delighted on 1K JavaScript Madness · · Score: 4, Funny

    About javascript in their tweets...

    If they aren't just give it some time ... I'm sure it will worm its way into their hearts ;-)

    If they had provided a URL I'm sure we could have /.'d them and helped with the 'simulation'. ;-)

    35% of mobile application developers are FUCKING RETARDS.

    Did your survey determine which 35%?

  6. Re:woowoo on Devs Bet Big On Android Over Apple's iOS · · Score: 1

    speculation is shit. who cares...

    True. This is a survey of developers who are already using a cross-platform development tool. How about they take the same survey of developers who are using XCode - are they considering Android as the better long term bet? What percentage of iOS developers are using cross-platform tools?

  7. Goatse Worm? on Twitter Hit With Second Worm In a Week · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's no surprise that you could get worms from having sex, well, with goats.

  8. Re:Makes sense on The Ancient Computers Powering the Space Race · · Score: 1

    If they work, why touch them - maybe someone would like to rewrite them with php?

    PHP? I hear that HTML5 can do *anything* ... though maybe we can rewrite them in Flash so NASA will never have the option of using iDevices ;-)

  9. Re:So I guess on Iris Scanning Set To Secure City In Mexico · · Score: 1

    There is nobody who I would give my password to. Nobody! Let alone "other people" like friends

    Sounds like a winner to me!

  11. Re:Bushehr as target on Stuxnet Infects 30,000 Industrial Computers In Iran · · Score: 1

    Where could you possibly read something like that?

    In the Bushehr Times, the leading state-run newspaper in Bushehr with a full want-ads section and comics as recent as 'The Far Side'. Good reading if you can stomach the heavy-handed use of commas and semicolons.

  12. Re:Common sense on You Are Not Mark Zuckerberg, So Stay In School · · Score: 1

    When I get into discussions about this topic with (young) people and they think they can play the "Bill Gates" trump card (For some odd reason, they think I should admire the man since I'm "into computers"), this is exactly what I tell them.

    With you spreading that kind of thinking around how will 'the chosen one' ever drop out of college and create SkyNet? Have you thought of that, huh??

  13. Re:Go Android on Should I Learn To Program iOS Or Android Devices? · · Score: 1

    What part of Objective C do you prefer?

    All the extra punctuation! Ever since I started coding in Obj-C my pinkies have developed some rather impressive muscles. Let's see Java top that!

  14. Re:Yes on Should I Learn To Program iOS Or Android Devices? · · Score: 1

    What does a flaslight need serversockets for?

    It's very dark deep down in the intertubes. You need a flashlight because a zippo will just set off the smoke alarms.

    No, you're being confused by the Virgin name.

    On /. the word 'virgin' usually has a completely different meaning ;-)

  16. Cease and Desist

    To QuantumG it may concern,
    We do hereby demand that you stop ignoring us!! Come on! How are we supposed to pay our immoral & unethical investigators and attorneys if you just ignore us? Is that really fair?

    Homer: Hey Lenny, whatcha got there?
    Lenny: Um, nothin' Homer.
    Carl: Um, it's a Stonecutter's flash drive.
    Homer: Really? How do I get one?
    Lenny: Gee Homer, I don't know ...
    [Carl hands the flash drive to Homer]
    Carl: It's like one of those metaphorical butterflies. You just set it free and see if it comes back to you.
    Homer: Really? Thanks Carl!
    Carl: You should send it to our friends in Iran. If they send it back you know you were meant to have it.
    Homer: That's a great idea!

    The users who have a valid reason for visiting those site are the users I have to 'delouse' more often than anyone else.

  22. Re:People think its ok to use facebook at work? on Facebook the Most Dangerous Social Tool For Businesses · · Score: 1

    One of my clients has around 50 workstations that are used only for season/temporary employees. None of the seasonal employees gives a crap about company policies - they just try to get away with whatever they can and still collect a check at the end of the week. Their workstations are configured to redirect to a php script on the server whenever they try to connect to a site other than those on their 'approved list' (they use a web-based app for customer service and shipping). They always deny they did anything but hardcoded IP's don't lie ;-)

    Anecdotal proofs don't hold much weight in the real world. Science on the other hand does.

    Well, your post doesn't get 'Funny' in the /. world but "there's MALWARE on Facebook??" on the other hand does. Gotta know your audience.

  24. Re:"Dangerous" is ambiguous on Facebook the Most Dangerous Social Tool For Businesses · · Score: 1

    Strange, facebook always open, people send me lots of garbage, yet my Ubuntu machines with no firewall and now AV seems completely unaffected.

    If I had posted that I'd be sure to blame my computer for the typos, but since it's not the computer it must be something else ... may just the 'U' in Ubuntu? ;-)
