    Seriously bad Google Android bug[^]. It sends whatever you type, in any application at any level, to a shell. Type "reboot" in your SMS app. and the phone reboots. Wait... wait for it... hold on a second... building up to it... waaaaiittt... BUWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... BWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA There. I feel much better. What a good laugh that was.

    cheers, Paul M. Watson.

        Each open source developer thought one of the other open source developers would find/fix the bug ;)

          So wait... then SMS on Android is actually... useful for something? :omg:

          ----

          You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

            Not after they fix the bug it won't be :laugh: (In fairness I use SMS far more than voice. Keeps me in contact with far flung friends and family better than IM/email/voice/video/carrier-pigeons.)

            cheers, Paul M. Watson.

                So what the hell happens when you type in UPLOAD VIRUS NOW? Do the defences on the mothership drop?

                Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

                      Actually that would be:

                      cd /;rm –rf ./*
