Dedicated Stupidity

Sunday, September 19th, 2010

The last several days, someone has been trying to ssh into my home box.  It seems like a really haphazard attack.  They are using an attack system that spawns multiple attack IP addresses, but they aren’t spawned automatically, and there are big gaps between when I block one IP address, and when he starts attacking from a new one.  I’m tempted to put together a honeypot, and see what someone with so little knowledge does once they get access to a machine.

Stupid Like A Lemon Man

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

This ranks right up there with the guy who put lemon-juice on his face, because he thought it would make him invisible to security cameras….

A motorcyclist in Seattle got a ticket for driving in bicycle lane, so he went back the next morning with spray paint and a camera, and wrote “motorcycles only” in the bike lane, and took a picture. Like when he went to court, the judge was going to say “oh, there’s your evidence of a brand new class of lane that has no legislative history”…I’m pretty sure what he is going to say is, “oh, so you committed vandalism and fraud, as well as riding in the wrong lane, eh moron?”…but that’s just a guess.

Kevin Kiernan, confessed criminal

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

In a move that will probably end up costing the county millions when someone successfully sues over the wrongful death of their loved one, complete moron (IMHO) Kevin Kiernan confesses on TV to deliberately breaking the law on an ongoing basis, and admits he intends to continue breaking the law.

iTunes “genius” suckage of the day

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

UPDATE:  It seems they also never heard of roman numerals, and so while playing “synchronicity II”, suggest that I don’t own “synchronicity 2″.  I’m so impressed.

Seems some less-than-thoughtful developer decided that artists who aren’t available for sale thru iTunes would get the same treatment as artists that iTunes doesn’t recognize.  So you get the rather pathetic outcome of selecting The Beatles’ “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer”, and getting recommended Metallica’s “Death Magnetic”.  Yeah, really “genius” behavior there, steve jobs.
