Vulnerabilities in the Android multimedia framework allow attackers to remotely compromise devices with ease, a researcher said. Watch this video (on your phone) to find out how!

There is a core component called "Stagefright" on Android phones ? 
really ?
I'd rather be phishing!

This is extremely interesting for at least 2 major reasons:
1) It is extremely easy to write a service -- which most users wouldn't even know is on their phone -- which responds to SMS messages running other code (providing a backdoor)
2) Most users have no idea what all of those System Permissions messages mean.

More than 1,000 experts and leading robotics researchers sign open letter warning of military artificial intelligence arms race. "Please put down your weapon. You have twenty seconds to comply."

The methods you call can get different parameter values than you passed in. That would be an 'oops'
|
|

This is why I hash the value of every parameter I send in to any method and then do a check on each value inside the method to insure it is correct.
Real Developers don't trust the OS. Especially Windows. THis is THE Year of the LINUX DESKTOP!!!
TROLLED!!! I'm kidding.

Dang. And here I thought that we were in the year of the Linux desktop. I is sad.

Good point! This is THE YEAR of the LINUX DESKTOP!!
I've been saying it so long, we finally got to the year and I forgot to update the calendar.
So what about next year? Whose desktop will it be then? 
|
|
|
|
|
Next year we can start on The Year of the Plan 9 Desktop! (Or maybe Hurd, I can't decide)

Good Grief!
That's a fun bug!
NOT!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

The going rate for a stolen identity is about twenty bucks. Can I pay $25 to get it back?
|
|
|
|

Yes, but you have to pay $25 to every hacker on the 'net. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Make an estimate on how many times are you are distracted during an average work day. 1/0
|
|

|

I sit in an office from nine to five, but what's this "work" thing I keep hearing about? 
|
|
|
|
|
I'm distracted 100% of the time, but that's not a waste.
|
|
|
|
|
Right. The distractions are the good parts.
That's why we are distracted by them.
If they could make work as good as the distractions then we'd work.
They ought to figure that out.
But, they are managers and are distracted by other things.

I have a far simpler equation: stopTime - startTime

Monoid is a new programming typeface designed to be clean, uniform, and precise, just like good code. I dunno. I think I'll stick with BrushScript for my code
|

No 8-point? Fail! OK, it'll do 8-point, but not as clearly as Andale Mono does.
(Still looking.)
And the descenders look awful.
And I can't install multiple versions? (Small, extra small, etc.)

WTF, no capital N! How in the name of the dark one would I be able to name a class NinComPoop properly?

I, for one, can do without capital n. However, maybe you should look for it in the Cyrilic part of Unicode?
|
|
|
|
|
I looked at it and noticed that the capital/lower case lines weren't the same length. Instead of noticing the missing 'N', I actually thought it wasn't a fixed width font and decided it was garbage. Whoops!
