Re: Something fishy

TCP will keep trying to retransmit if it detects an error in transmission. Malformed packets would not be stored anywhere but would cause a continual loop of malformed data flowing both ways.

You are joking about Java right?

Re: Linux & mac trojans ...

Seems as most of the data malware is after is stored under your user context it hardly needs root to steal your data.

This would have done the job quite nicely on Linux.

What does religion have to do with morality?

WTF?

"only sell 4m a year"

Surely that's not including the OEM market?

If I'm just using it for the occasional call and text I can charge my iPhone 5 on thursday night and be ok through to Sunday night.

You prob' wouldn't want to risk it though.

Stop

The reason i got the iphone 5 and not the s3 is that the s3 was too large.

Re: A rare victory for common sense

Captia and common sense in the same sentence. Don't think I've ever heard that one before.

Re: Most are Android here.

The source is available for android. Corps can lock down Android as they wish.

Re: But

That's hardly apples for apples.

When you say Linux I presume you mean the entire eco-system compared to when you say Microsoft and you actually just mean Windows vulns.

Finding bugs is also a positive side effect of open source software, not a negative.

How can an organization with no structure be corrupt?

Anyone else wonder if they might have got away with it for longer if they where called z9 agregator?

What isn't working for you in Win 7 that you suggest they fix? I'm genuinely interested.

Keys on the end of a lever. Sounds a bit like keys on a music keyboard.

What blows my mind is what aliens think when they crack it open and look at the basic technology.

I wouldn't be surprised if they are shocked we managed to get it in to space at all.

No one could possibly write a bit of javascript code to check the browser version and solve this problem.

Guess what, I'm still using a monochrome nokia 1110.

The standby time is measured in weeks, it texts, it makes phone calls and I've never yet once found myself out and about and realising that I was missing something an iPhone would have given me.

I'm just chuffed at the end of a long night that I can still call a cab while all the iphones around me have died from being fondled all night.

The most important feature for me on a phone is still the ability to make a call.

if you're on ubuntu 11.10 you're not using gnome 3, I know you said you're a noob but at least try and make sure you bash the right product.

Awesome. US says they'll use military force against cyber threats, we say we'll nuke the buggers. Go UK.

"someone could have copied and pasted" therefore it's public.

Hearsay anyone? Burden of proof that he posted the comment? etc etc. Someone could always repeat something I said down the pub it doesn't not make it hearsay.
