  1. Re:The truth is somewhere in the middle - been the on Bridging the Digital Divide In Uganda, By Freight · · Score: 1

    "...maybe I'll be on flights that are less than 50% missionaries."

    Amen.

  2. Interesting data for So Cal on A Peek Into Netflix Queues · · Score: 1

    You could draw many fun, but useless conclusions from this data. This is probably the kind of info that sales pukes, marketing drones and security theater types drool over.
    Mad Men was only rented by those Hollywood types in Glendale and West LA
    Tyler Perry's chitlin flicks do well in South Central, Inglewood and Long Beach - why?
    Religulous' demographics proves that rich people really are godless.
    White people really liked Australia, but Vicky Cristina Barcelona is better than the US Census for racial profiling.
    Crooked cop movies, Pride and Glory, do well in "concentrated urban areas" - interesting.
    Pinapple Express proves that some things are universal - legalize it

  3. Re:Uniforms can have value to the employee too! on Uniforms For the Help Desk? · · Score: 1

    "This can allow you the freedom to act in the ways the job requires, which may include being subservient to your customers", surely you must be trolling or have never worked in the lower levels of IT.

    Meaningless management seminar psychobabble doesn't apply to the real world.

  4. Nice Try on $9 Million ATM Hacking Ring Indicted · · Score: 1

    One of these characters is already under indictment for similar shenanigans http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/11/rbs-worldpay , so a good bet is that the Feds have a rat, sorry, a cooperative concerned citizen, big deal. The real story, not these unfortunate Estonian freelance security consultants, but that if RBS was stupid enough to get nailed like this, who else is this sloppy with their security? A decent amount of work and planning went into this ( except for the exit strategy), and no one noticed all of the poking and prodding that was going on in RBS' network. Banking regulators have their own IT security compliance audit, that is a lot more serious than PCI certification, so did RBS have a few holes that got covered up for the audit, then put back in production later? We may never know.

  5. Vegetarian & Lazy on Vegetarian Spider Described · · Score: 1

    Its a hippie spider, Cartman save us.

  6. Lord of the Botnets on First Botnet of Linux Web Servers Discovered · · Score: 1

    One Botnet to rule them all,
    One Botnet to find them,
    One Botnet to bring them all
    and in the darkness bind them.

  7. Lost on "Violent" Video Games To Be Banned In Venezuela · · Score: 1

    Hugo is Lost.

  8. Its Obvious on Chinese Hackers Targeting NYPD Computers · · Score: 1

    They need access to NYPD personnel records to find the only one who can stop their plans.

    John McClane has an unlisted number.

  9. Teach them nothing on How Should I Teach a Basic Programming Course? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Give them assignments with vague instructions
    Lecture them into boredom
    Give them pointless projects
    Make sure they know that the real world is not relevant
    Give the newbs no hope of ever understanding a damn thing that comes out of your mouth
    Make a good effort not to be available outside of class hours

    Success

  10. "Creationist" Resigns on Royal Society "Creationist" Resigns · · Score: 2, Funny

    Thank God.

  11. Corporate Negligence on 11 Charged In TJX, Other Breaches · · Score: 1

    The cheapskate CEOs, CFOs, CTOs, CIOs, and PHBs should also be indicted for aiding and abetting, maybe a RICO charge for unintentional co-conspirators in stupidity.

    I am sure that these corporations went to the top of the list as targets of opportunity for "security consultants", hardware vendors and other information solution providers.

    An ounce of prevention ...

  12. The Fastest HIPAA compliant Encryption Algorithm on How Do You Deal With Sensitive Data? · · Score: 1

    Overlooked and misunderstood, Rotate by Thirteen Places, for years has been ridiculed by so called security "experts" and academics, who miss the subtle complexity of this ancient encryption tool. The simplicity is its genius.

  13. A tale of 3 losers on The Inside Story On the San Francisco Network Hijacking · · Score: 3, Funny

    1. Terry: you selfish bastard, if your network cannot be maintained without you, you have failed as an admin 2. The city of SF: common sense - try it out some time 3. The tax payers: what did you do to deserve this?

  14. Who pays for this? on Wikileaks Publishes FBI VoIP Surveillance Docs · · Score: 1

    Are the VOIP providers being stuck for the bill on this? Implementation of this would be/is a pain, especially for those "VOIP as a service" companies that target corporate customers.

    Cisco, Nortel etc. must have a back door for these guys to make work easier for them, either that or somebody is getting rich off contracting voice engineers out to the Feds.

  15. Re:Ghorbaneh Shoma on Feds Have a High-Speed Backdoor Into Wireless Carrier · · Score: 1

    Lived in SoCal for a long time, still haven't picked up Farsi, translation please.

  16. Boardroom Fashion is BS on Gaffes That Keep IT Geeks From the Boardroom · · Score: 2, Funny

    Everyone knows only the devil wears Prada.

  17. No more nukes on NC State Creates Most Powerful Positron Beam Ever · · Score: 1

    I wish that they would not make any more nuclear weapons, it just makes the world even more unstable. Hopefully, President Colbert will reunify the two Carolinas and bring peace to the region.

  18. Re:Good techs get business from these guys on Getting Gouged by Geeks · · Score: 1

    Amen.

  19. I'm very disappointed on Linux To Be Installed In Every Russian School · · Score: 2, Interesting

    No "In Soviet Russia" jokes as FP?

  20. I know what did it on Another Man Dies After Marathon Gaming Session · · Score: 1

    It was the lead based Red Bull.

  21. What do Russians say when they drop the FOAB? on Russia Tests World's Largest Non-Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 1

    Dasvedanya dad.

  22. Feisty Fawn not so innocent on Pirate Banned From Using Linux · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sounds like the latest "Catch a Hacker" episode of Dateline NBC. Ace investigative reporter Michelle Madigan uncovers a new operating system used by hackers, pirates and cybercriminals to go on an internet crime spree. What is Ubuntu and why is the government helpless to stop it?

  23. healthfood on Gunplay Blamed For Cutting Fiber · · Score: 1

    I guess thats one way to cut back on fiber.

  24. Re:Rocket-Propelled Bionic Arm on Rocket-Powered Bionic Arm Successfully Tested · · Score: 1

    Tranzor Z? Damn, haven't heard that in a long time.

  25. Darwin Awards on How To Turn a Mini Maglite Into a Laser · · Score: 1

    For some reason, there is a real genius out there who will get the Darwin Award for building this device and looking straight into to it for a prolonged period of time, with both eyes.
