  1. Seriously on Malicious Injection — It's Not Just For SQL Anymore · · Score: 1

    Have we lost our Sanity already? Any user input should be scrubbed sanitized and checked before using it for security and making sure it won't break your application because of the expected input.

  2. Re:Conversely on Are More Choices Really Better? · · Score: 1

    More Choices in software is like more choices with Women. More choices are typically better. In comparison to women ...

    Some software is free, some women are free.
    Some software is expensive, some women are expensive.
    Some software has bugs, some women bug.
    Sometimes you get fucked by software, sometimes you get fucked by women (in more than one way).

    The point is with more choices, there is a better chance that there will be something that suits your need for the current project / sexual conquest.

  3. Re:Futuristic you say? on Bionic Bugs To Fight Terrorists · · Score: 1

    That is the first thing I thought when I read the article.

    On the other hand there could be collateral damage if an innocent victim who swats the fly with that newspaper, then is followed by a 2K LB bomb at the last know location of the robotic fly is called in to "Finish the Job"! Take that for hurting our helpless little fly **sarcasm**

    Just my 2 cents...

  4. Re:Titans on Mark Cuban Declares War on GooTube · · Score: 1

    Agreed but then they would not conform to the typical Google naming convention, with the exception to Froogle that has now conformed as well.

    /(Google) (\w*)/

  5. Re:I really don't understand how people ... on Global Warming Debunker Debunked · · Score: 1

    I am 100% in belief that global warming is currently in the process of as we speak and live today. I do also think that the fact of human existence and our impact on our environment _COULD_ be playing a role in contributing to the current warming trends, but there are also truths that this sort of thing has happened in the past. One take could be that the Earth's climate changes are a way to "Cleanse" the Earth from certain things (pollution being the first to come to mind). It could be the equivalent of an immune system in beings that we know of. The Earth is sick literally from our contamination and is trying to heal itself. Of course there is no proof _YET_ to an idea of such, but it's definitely possible.

  6. Re:umm... on UK Woman Charged As Terrorist For Computer Files · · Score: 1

    OMFG, I couldn't have said it any better. Mod parent up.

  7. Re:Last I checked on US Citizens To Require ''Clearance'' To Leave? · · Score: 1

    Guess you don't travel much, this ALONG with photo ID is what has been used FOR YEARS if no passport is present to travel outside of the US when going to countries other than Canada or Mexico. Besides the fact you didn't get the point that the customs people are preparing people to get a passport, THAT WAS MY POINT!!!

  8. Re:Last I checked on US Citizens To Require ''Clearance'' To Leave? · · Score: 1

    I heard of this months ago, although, I just got back from Cabo, when I came back, US customs person said after the turn of the year, my birth certificate will no longer work for me to leave/enter the country. My BIRTH CERTIFICATE .... guess some things have no credibility anymore. Shit passport might as well be a RFID chip implanted into my now, then I can't lose it and have to wait weeks to leave again . BTW It must have been a while since you checked this has been pending for some time now.

  9. Re:Open Voting System on Diebold Demands That HBO Cancel Documentary · · Score: 1

    I am not going to disagree with you one bit. Although counting votes by hand takes time. The last time I checked, Canada only had 1/10th the population as the US, and the UK had around 1/5th. So although counting __COULD__ take longer than a day, I am sure I would rather wait for that, then to sit around and argue about technical problems with some BS machines.

  10. Anyone Know How? on Blake Ross Working on Parakey Web OS · · Score: 1

    How does this differ from You OS? Previously reviewed on Slashdot

  11. Re:Imagine... on Make Linux "Gorgeous," Says Ubuntu Leader · · Score: 1

    MOD Parent Up. VERY interesting concept. But as much as I would like to say they would go for the most eye appealing one. Which IMHO (Not a Mac Fan Boy) the order would be Mac OSX, Linux, Windows. I think it would have to do a lot with age, sex, and demographics of the person to which they would prefer.

    Now as an everyday computer user, I definately love Mac OSX GUI. Linux has gotten 1000 times better over the past years. Standard Windows XP is ugly as F$%#. The first day I get into any new XP install I revert it back to Classic Windows as that is much more appealing/usable to me.

  12. Re:People won't change! on MySpace Accounts Compromised By Phishers · · Score: 2, Informative

    No shit I just slapped myself after doing just that ... MOD ME DOWN and burn me at the stake!

  13. People won't change! on MySpace Accounts Compromised By Phishers · · Score: -1, Redundant
  14. Re:Please upgrade BLINK on HTML to be 'Incrementally Evolved' · · Score: 2, Funny

    My IE 4.01 came with Windows and the blink doesn't work. It was much larger installation than 300MB and it still doesn't work. Please explain!!!

  15. Ambiguity on Lab Created Diamonds Come to Market · · Score: 1

    TFA : "Adia diamonds are physically, chemically and optically identical to mined diamonds"

    That said, is there no way to tell them apart?

  16. Re:This is terrible on No Ice on the Moon · · Score: 1, Funny

    And No cheese either, those Lunar cocktail parties are really going to suck aren't they .....

  17. Re:would you like fries ... on McDonalds Japan Distributes Infected MP3 Players · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would rather have a virus with my mp3's any one day over a biological virus with my food. As long as they don't migrate into biological virus distribution, I am fine with that. Unless of course you call contributing to the American obesity disease due to high fast food fat consumption a virus, then all deals are off. Thank God McDonald's is not in my list of places I frequent.

  18. Re:WTF? (W == "Who") on Fonality Acquires Trixbox · · Score: 1

    Trixbox is a project name (aka. Asterisk@Home predecessor) not a company, but I agree I have no idea who Fonality is.

  19. Privacy on Caller ID Watches · · Score: 1

    Bluetooth Sniffer ... Hey, pick up your phone ... your Mom is calling.

  20. Article Picture on Invisible Unmanned Aircraft · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is it me, or do the boys in the article in fatigues look like they are like 13? Made for the Army, but cool enough for teens? Hmm, interesting!

  21. Save Time on 10-Day Gentoo Installation Agony · · Score: 1

    Knoppix Live CD - 30 Seconds ;-P

  22. Re:1000 Records is a really small number on FBI Data Mining Students' Financial Aid Records · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I just hope mine gets deleted, along with any paper trails to the banks that lent me the money. I think I would actually let the government use my records in a trade for paying them off. Sounds good to me. :-P

  23. Perhaps on Linspire Makes Click and Run Free · · Score: 1

    Perhaps now I can convince myself to actually see what is on the free Linspire disk I got from Linux Desktop Summit this year.

  24. Infrared hmmmmm on License Plate Tracking for the Average Citizen · · Score: 1

    Would heating up your plate to a certain temp make it appear as a square only? Or I am off track here? I'd be the first to patent license plate warmers if this was the case.

  25. Re:i hate myspace on MySpace's Trip to The Top · · Score: 1

    I didn't have a nick. I just frequented it. I am assuming you are refering to Half Empty right? Much different to what it used to be that's for sure.
