steeling ur dataz - SlvrEagle23, on 10/12/2007, -24/+309This is just proof that Apples are for pussies.
...come on, somebody had to say it! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+262thats nothing...
my hamster broke into vista's kernel. - Attrition, on 10/12/2007, -0/+234***** script kitties.
- madpainter, on 10/12/2007, -4/+194I am looking at my wife's cat now, sniffing around my macbook. Maybe I can blame her for all the porn? Yeah, that's the ticket. Bad cat!!!!
- Cultist, on 10/12/2007, -8/+170I believe this is a good summary of the greater portion of Mac users:
"I just want to stop the cat from trying to rewrite my novel." - idevlabsdotcom, on 10/12/2007, -4/+114It's funny watching a forum full of Mac users trying to outsmart a cat.
- osbjmg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+107not unless it's kitty porn.
- Darmichar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+98I love how the guy repeatedly asks if there is some unknown back door around the screen saver that would allow access to his computer.
Every one there just glazes over, ignores the question, and focuses on the cat. - inspecality, on 10/12/2007, -13/+103I'm in ur iBook haxxorin ur securityz.
- Frostek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+88I seem to remember hearing this a long time ago - wasn't there a security update *ages ago* that fixed the screen saver password entry, which was vunerable to a flaw where if more than 256 characters were entered it unlocked? The cat probably just lay on the keyboard and overflowed the buffer...
- ElectricSoup, on 10/12/2007, -13/+100It was the evil Catbert that did it.
- woogley, on 10/12/2007, -1/+87this is a prime example for why you should NEVER use your pet's name as a "security question" on those "forgot your password?" pages..
- rcran, on 10/12/2007, -10/+86Curiousity hacked the cat.
- notjamt9000, on 10/12/2007, -1/+72Unfortunately pawsense is only available for windows:

- thorn101, on 10/12/2007, -6/+74I call *****. He's just making fun of mac users, about them being gullible and everything. Digg me down.
- Darmichar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+57frostek, you need to reply to that poor guy on their forum.
The people answering him there are clueless. - dsendecki, on 10/12/2007, -4/+59They should hire ceiling cat to watch...
- korosive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+53This is awesome. all my cat has ever done to my computer is type "ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSssssssssssssssssssssss", or something like that. I found it pretty comical, what's he trying to tell me?
- ntsf, on 10/12/2007, -1/+48wow, the cat knows about a buffer overflow exploit.... cool!
- noahhoward, on 10/12/2007, -0/+42The cat is circumventing his password? What the hell is the password set to 'ndafzs g JGBU:OkwEJKL;adnmX;O'L/M qnkl' ?
- WiseWeasel, on 10/12/2007, -4/+39Because they generate heat. The keyboard area is the main passage for heat exhaust in Apple's laptops.
- Lokhalan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+33http://fadeover.org/stuff/macbook.jpg
- blackjack75, on 10/12/2007, -0/+31Yeah, thank you for posting my digg account password for everyone to see... shhh.
- mikev, on 10/12/2007, -0/+30This would be a perfect time for twitters 404 image:
http://twitter.com/images/404.jpg - IMustBeEmo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+34Must be the ceiling cat...
- zjbird, on 10/12/2007, -6/+35This sounds like BS to me, what is your password? "LK" ? If it is more than a few randomly scattered letters or numbers, then the cat isn't typing it in. Either you are and forgetting about it, or the iBook just sucks and does not require a password like you think it does. This guy even says he writes novels, he prob made this crap up, lol
- marvinmatthew, on 10/12/2007, -8/+37F*%$ing hacker cats.
- supersonicdarky, on 10/12/2007, -6/+34ceiling cat only watches masturbations...
...and i dont think a 14 year old cat would do that... - OutThisLife, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28If you read the post you'd understand =]
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25And by blaming cats for any illegal download, RIAA would have to start suing cats. Finally those damn scratchers are good for something.
- sirdaz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+25"No. I live alone. With the cat."
I'm sorry but I had to laugh at that!! - anonymouse91, on 10/12/2007, -6/+27He can't. His screen is cracked.
- moosepile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20I'm guessing that when the machines "wakes" from screensaver, even though it's set for authentication, it is actually accepting input (freaky). Probably different than actually sleeping. Which is colder and would piss kitty off.
- tedades, on 10/12/2007, -3/+23Its because my cat is a friend, I care more about my cat then my laptop.
And the cat does less damage to the laptop then I do (a frustrated windows user >_< ). - rspeed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Obviously the cat watched him type the password.
- optikalblitz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21i don't feel like making an apple ID to post up there but.. maybe save this as an applescript:
[code]
do shell script "/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\ Extras/User.menu/Contents/Resources/CGSession -suspend"
[/code]
if this guy's cat gets past that, he has much bigger issues. - Darmichar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Kind of funny how you missed the underlying question he had just like all the other half-wits on that forum.
The problem isn't the cat sleeping on the laptop.
The problem is the cat is able to circumvent the password protected screen saver, and he wants to know how.
In other words, if his cat is able to do this quite easily, *anyone* could potentially gain access to the documents/settings on this particular notebook. - sctechguy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17I think your cat's calling you out.
- brianez21, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20digg down
- neko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Catlike typing detected!
- johnlandes, on 10/12/2007, -8/+22At least my windows PC crashes when my cat does this.
Purrfect security - soupnrc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14You'd be surprised what a cat CAN reach.
- RadiatedAnt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Maybe he should try running Leopard, it might scare it away
/action Rimshot - iFelix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12if it smells fishy that probably explains the cat...
- azsupra, on 10/12/2007, -5/+15Further proof that cats are smarter than the average Mac user...
- ooMissioNoo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13the cats jsut ordering catnip of the net.
addiction is horrible - mikeazorin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10His password was probably something like "qwerty."
- sctechguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Is your cat Antonio Banderas?
