  Obviously Get Smart needs to be prosecuted for giving away CIA secrets. Imagine all the times the Cone of Silence didn't work! Spies could totally subvert that technology now!

• On the post: Google Rejects Postal For Google Play Store Due To Violence; GTA Games Still Available For Purchase

  Let's be honest here: It's not a violent game like Postal that's going to incite violence in kids. It would be playing a game they can never win like Flappy Birds.

• On the post: US Patent Office Gamed The System To Make Sure Patent 9 Million Wasn't A Crazy Troll Patent

  I have the overwhelming urge to swear, repeatedly and ferociously, at and about Shawn after reading this.
  
  I can't because I haven't signed out of my account on this webpage and my future employers probably read BestNetTech and they're all pig fucking cocksucking fuckwad shit-eating douche bags. Those fuckers.

• On the post: Telco Analyst Compares Google Fiber To Ebola… Completely Misses The Point

  

  dfbomb ( profile ), 19 Mar, 2015 @ 07:37am

  Let's see:
  
  1) Relatively few people affected
  2) disproportionate effect on media and the conversation publicly
  3) lightning rod to point out fuckery among politicians (AGs and lobbyists instead of Chris Christie, but still...)
  
  Yep, It's like ebola. Your move, telcos.

  Nice try, TSA. I'm still not friending you.

  All I got was: "It would be a shame if your kneecaps had to be decrypted."

  Dear Kriby,
  
  We'd like you to meet Ms. Streisand. Enjoy your 15 minutes as the asshole of the week.
  
  Love,
  
  The Internet.

• On the post: Police In Scotland Tweet Out Plans To 'Investigate' Any 'Offensive Comments' On Social Media

  

  dfbomb ( profile ), 30 Dec, 2014 @ 04:40pm

  I think as Americans we owe it to our allies overseas to tweet the most offensive goddamned things we can in regards to @policescotland's mothers.

• On the post: UK Party Leader Attacks Satirical Mobile Game Made By Teenagers Interested In Politics

  

  dfbomb ( profile ), 24 Dec, 2014 @ 07:33pm

  I can hear Nigel Farage's inner thoughts now:
  
  "BAH! What do these kids know! It's not like they can twitter their way to being the Mayor of London or something!"

• On the post: CBS Blames Netflix For Its Own Secrecy Over Streaming Video Numbers

  

  dfbomb ( profile ), 18 Dec, 2014 @ 10:11am

  The real question is: Can CBS balme Netflix for NCIS?

• On the post: Netflix Patiently Explains To FCC Commissioner Pai That CDNs Are Perfectly Normal, Not Diabolical 'Fast Lanes'

  

  dfbomb ( profile ), 15 Dec, 2014 @ 11:14am

  Did they have to draw it in fucking crayon for Pai?

  So, surely someone at Sony Pictures has actually met Streisand, right?

• On the post: Rogers, Hayden Claim Release Of CIA Torture Report Will Be The Tipping Point For Enemies Of The US

  If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about, right?

• On the post: DOJ Using Antiquated 1789 'All Writs Act' To Try To Force Phone Manufacturers To Help Unlock Encrypted Phones

  

  dfbomb ( profile ), 01 Dec, 2014 @ 01:32pm

  What this tells me is that at some point, just like desktop OS, encryption will be wrested away from the manufacturer and be a user-initiated and controlled tool. An open-source adaptation of luks for phones or something similar would remove the ability for the Feds to force phone manufacturers into this situation.

• On the post: So, If Someone Could Just Kill A Child And Let The FBI And DOJ Get Their Anti-Phone Encryption Legislation Going, That Would Be Great

  

  dfbomb ( profile ), 21 Nov, 2014 @ 10:54am

  I am considering a fork of VeraCrypt where the file name is actually .pedo because apparently encryption creates pedo files.

• On the post: Attention Kim Kardashian: You Can't Sue Another Woman For Having A Big Ass And An Instagram Account

  

  dfbomb ( profile ), 04 Nov, 2014 @ 11:08am

  I have a big ass and an instagram account. Come at me, Kim. Or are you only threatened by non-hairy asses?

  dfbomb ( profile ), 23 Sep, 2014 @ 08:49am

  Wait, kids write in notebooks nowadays? Like, longhand writing?
  
  Sounds tiring. Someone teach her how to post to facebook so the school can automate their policing of her thoughts via webcrawler.
