  1. Re:Stupid on Epsilon Breach Used Four-month-old Attack · · Score: 1

    You can have much more fun parties with confiscated drugs than you can with confiscated emails lists. Seriously, when was the last time you heard anyone say, "Cops always have the best lists of spamable email addresses!"

  2. Re:socially engineered Windows attacks? on Epsilon Breach Used Four-month-old Attack · · Score: 1

    In Windows XP, you have to give everybody Admin privileges, otherwise they can't install _anything_ themselves. In Windows 7 (and presumably Vista as well), it will prompt for the Admin password every time you try to install, so you don't have to run all the time with Admin privilege. But that's still no protection against social engineering; if you give users the ability to modify their own machines, they will be able to install malware.

  3. It's an education probleml on Epsilon Breach Used Four-month-old Attack · · Score: 1

    Which engineering schools are now offering degrees in Social Engineering? Can I go back to school and get my MSSE?

    But, being a grad student, even if he did screw his wife the doctor would still get the credit.

    Damn, the things you see when you've already run out of mod points!

  5. Only thing I can say is... on Quebec's Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve · · Score: 1

    Sweet!

  6. It works! on GNOME 3 Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    I _do_ feel more focused, aware, effective, capable, respected, delighted, and at ease... of course, that might just be the Ritalin...

  7. Cross platform compatibility! on Mono Comes To Android · · Score: 1

    Let's see, Windows Phone apps are written in C#, iPhone apps are written in Objective C, and Android Apps are written in Java... so obviously using Mono on all three is going to be a big win for cross platform programming!

  8. Mono for Android! on Mono Comes To Android · · Score: 3, Funny

    For all those developers that really want to combine all the disadvantages of programming for Android with all the disadvantages of using a Microsoft-controlled API!

  9. Re:Finally on Mono Comes To Android · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Miguel de Icaza, is that you? Because nobody else really gives a shit...

  10. Re:Eww on Software Firm Looking To Hire Naked Coders · · Score: 1

    Plus, most bitches look much hotter in heels, stockings, and lace teddies than they do completely nekkid. Much better to have a company dress code requiring lingerie.

  11. Re:Really?!?! on Software Firm Looking To Hire Naked Coders · · Score: 1

    I wont share with you my story about how I know this.

    Can you at least share with us your upholstery cleaning secrets?

    Generally, those professions are not "entirely without clothes". You can leave your hat and heels on, honey.

  13. Re:Congratulations on Software Firm Looking To Hire Naked Coders · · Score: 1

    Now to give you a mental picture you'll never be able to erase, I'm going to mention "nudism" and "Cowboy Neal" in the same sentence...

  14. Re:I can get paid? on Software Firm Looking To Hire Naked Coders · · Score: 1

    Yes, but it differs from your usual recreational activities in that you are actually expected to write code, not just surf porn.

  15. No thanks on Software Firm Looking To Hire Naked Coders · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but I'd rather not spend every meeting wondering who the previous occupant of that conference room chair was!

    Ah yes, "the striesland effect", named after Barbara Striesland...

    Everything is ruined by bullet-points; from software to politics to porn.

    I don't know, for some people, porn is improved by bullet-points !

    I'm sorry Dave, you can't do that...

    However, you can become an altar boy and get fucked _by_ high ranking residents of the Vatican.

    He meant that the logic took 7 days to parse.

    What, the church can't comment on pedophilia? They certainly have enough experience with the subject to be able to have an informed opinion on the matter. Science... no, not so much.

  21. Re:Yes.. well... no.. but no but yes on Ask Slashdot: Would You Take a Pay Cut To Telecommute? · · Score: 1

    Sure, it's all fun and games until the cleaning lady files a sexual harassment suit.

  22. Re:Poetic justice on Patent Troll Going After Alzheimer's Researchers · · Score: 1

    My point exactly,. Meaning that if I can create a mouse with the Swedish gene by a slightly different method, then AIA should just fuck off. And I'm willing to bet that the gene sequencing and gene splicing techniques used were developed with NIH funding in the first place.

  23. Which grad students are the most miserable? on Which Grad Students Are the Most Miserable? · · Score: 2

    That's easy: the ones that aren't getting laid!

    So yes, the STEM students probably qualify for that honor.

  24. Re:Poetic justice on Patent Troll Going After Alzheimer's Researchers · · Score: 1

    They don't have a patent on that sequence occurring in a human being. They have a patent on the concept of putting that same sequence into a mouse. As I said elsewhere, that's like having a patent on the concept of crossing a Poodle and a Labrador Retriever to create a Labradoodle, but whatever.

  25. Re:No on Ask Slashdot: Would You Take a Pay Cut To Telecommute? · · Score: 1

    It's great you have a well-adjusted family. I have a wife who sleeps days and would rather her daughter "bother daddy" than wake her up. I also have a daughter that would rather do almost anything with her father than with her mother, and most interactions between mother and daughter turn into screaming matches between the two of them. Yes, I've tried to explain to my wife that when you try to do something with a child and wind up yelling at them and hitting them you are creating an aversion to doing things with you in the child. But it's hard to teach anything to people who already think they know everything about child rearing. I'm a grumpy old man who yells at people all the time, but for some reason kids and dogs love me. Go figure.
