There in lies the issue with forums which allow voting without comment on other comments.
I'm personally preferential to the 2channel/2chan/4chan system of no votes and no tree threading. But if there's a voting system, I see no problem letting it represent the readerships preferences for topical jokes.

As for the actual article in question, thinks look solid. There isn't much to add beyond the presented material. Harman did a decent but not perfect job from the outset, you need serial port access for this to work, and they were responsive about fixing the exploit.
Without a voting system, then people would have to wade through low effort noise like yours just to find the good contributions. The system works great. In fact, people need to have showdead=true just to see your epic "shots fired" comment now.
