  2. man-bag, pfft on Apple's "iPad" Out In the Open · · Score: 1

    I'm half-joking and half-serious here, but man-bags are on the rise.

    It's not a man-bag, a man-purse, or a murse. It is a satchel. Get it right!

  3. Bottom line on Google To Suspend Mobile Phone Launch In China · · Score: 1

    Any government that even attempts to compromise my servers... is not a government I want to cater to any longer.

  4. Um, no on Organ Damage In Rats From Monsanto GMO Corn · · Score: 1

    Wait...so the president's actions in 2009 is responsible for information remaining hidden from 2000 through 2008? For crying out loud, he didn't even make US Senate until 2004. But yes, I suppose the corruption of a member of the Illionois Senate has its reach all the way down into the state of Missouri (where Monsanto is based). Or maybe Obama has a time machine.

    You are missing the point. The point is the frequent cross-pollination between big agribusiness/GMO interests and public safety and regulation departments of the us govt. The revolving door between Monsanto and the USDA is one of many. The USDA is merely filling out its warped destiny however, seeing as even its mission statement clearly points out a conflict of interest. It is supposed to both regulate, and promote agribusiness.

    Call me old fashioned, but I like to see where a link is going before I click it.

    Apparently FF is not discovering a toolbar update. I had to uninstall it, then download the Dangermouse release to get the new sharing/URL functionality.

  13. Re:FB name changes on Facebook Masks Worse Privacy With New Interface · · Score: 1

    At the time, my suspicious nature concluded that the delay was artificial but the process was automated, with some human doing a random sampling of the changes. But you're probably right.

  14. Re:FB name changes on Facebook Masks Worse Privacy With New Interface · · Score: 1

    I'm really not sure how it works on the back-end. For all I know they just pit the new name against a name/dictionary blacklist. Your guess is as good as mine.

  15. Re:Facebook is not about privacy. on Facebook Masks Worse Privacy With New Interface · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Has Facebook gotten so smug that they feel they can do whatever they want and people will just deal with it.

    Yes.

  16. FB name changes on Facebook Masks Worse Privacy With New Interface · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes, precisely. Especially considering that FB needs to explicitly approve name changes. I went through the process once, and it was 3 days before they cleared it and my new name showed up.

    Now the people who browse these sites and get hit with malware, that looks to be specific to Windows.

    Yeah. I saw my error after I had posted it, so I tried to correct it with a follow up.

  18. Re:How is SQL involved? on SQL Injection Attack Claims 132,000+ · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The article said "SQL" in the headline, but never mentioned it again after that.

    My guess is that the compromised websites all have something in common, such as running the same CMS for example. You're right though, the article is short on details of the injection itself.
