All Your Coffee Are Belong To Us.

This (http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/06/17/1941200) brought a smile to my face. Do you use Java. ;)

[Carla Schroder]

Oh my! That is too funny- malware and remote exploits via your coffeemaker! Note to self: no computers of any kind in the bathroom. Ever.

[ua549]

Don't buy one of these (http://www.faucetdepot.com/faucetdepot/ProductDetail.asp?Product=12299&AffiliateID=ChannelAdvisor&CAWELAID=88170821) high tech, fully automated, remote controlled devices.
Who knows what could happen if root was compromised. ;)

[JPnyc]

um, why on God's green earth would anyone want a coffee maker that has Internet access? What the heck can you possibly do with it? Load websites from Brazil?

[ua549]

Java Beans! It's the only answer.
I'm reintroducing myself to FreeBSD and BSD guys don't do Java. ;)




(itsa joke :nudge: :nudge: :wink: :wink:)

[Carla Schroder]

I got the Java pun the first time. I just didn't rise to the bait.

:)

[ua549]

I'm sure you did. JP on the other hand ...

[JPnyc]

Of course I got it, but I'm asking a serious question. This coffee maker has an Internet connection Kit. Of what possible use can such a thing be on a coffee maker? I just don't get it.

[ua549]

The thing is so complex it requires on-line factory tech support.

The thing is so complex it requires on-line factory tech support.

wow, that makes me feel special, because my whole life I've been making coffee without factory tech support! Dang, I wish I'd known a long time ago that I was a freakin' genius.

[ua549]

Perhaps you can scribe another chapter for your networking book called "DNS for the Coffee Maker".
That's Donut Servers for the acronym challenged. ;)

[JPnyc]

For the first time I'm proud that I don't use a coffeemaker anymore. I've graduated to just chewing the beans.

[ua549]

I love to chew on espresso beans. Yum!

I still drink three 5 ounce cups of French Roast brew each morning.

[gunderstone]

I'm waiting for ovens connected to the Net so folks can turn them on to preheat on their way home from work.

That's when the hacker takes them over and burns their houses down.

Oh wait... that'll never happen. No one cooks dinner anymore.

[JPnyc]

Oh wait... that'll never happen. No one cooks dinner anymore. Not unless there's a woman I want to impress, or a family member I want to bump off.

[ua549]

I'se cook. Ma cookin's bett'rn than any stinkin' ... :wanders off with a bottle of Château Lafite Rothschild 2005 Bordeaux:

[JPnyc]

Well I know HOW to cook, I mean I'm Italian, it's in my DNA, I just never bother unless there's some particular reason to.

[Carla Schroder]

My heritage is German Italian, which means I serve dark beer with pasta. You wanna look like a sumo wrestler in record time, come eat at my place.

[ua549]

Mmmmmm dark beer with pasta; next time I'm in Oregon ...
