Re:Listen up newbie...
Of course
:-)more webapp-focussed - http://blog.moonfruit.com/post/2012/08/08/Perl-Application-Developer
or more systems focussed (scaling, soa etc ) - http://blog.moonfruit.com/post/2012/08/08/Perl-Platform-Developer
Bizarrely no-one put contact details on those blog posts, but email jobs@moonfruit.com if you are interested. 61 would not be our oldest programmer

Re:"Sounds like the United States"
We're not just talking about Assange. We're talking about thousands of Americans who took to the streets last year to exercise their constitutional right to peaceably assemble. Over 7000 people have been arrested as part of OWS, including Presidential candidate Jill Stein.
I've only followed it casually, but ISTM that the problems were almost entirely limited to a few cities (NYC, Okland) where the authorities decided they needed to take a proactively militant/confrontational approach to the protests. In my town the City Council basically said "more power to you".

Re:"Sounds like the United States"

To quote from the article you linked: "Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein and her running mate have been arrested at a sit-in at a Philadelphia bank over housing foreclosures." She was arrested for trespassing, not for anything she was saying. Given the refusal of most leftists to make distinctions like that -- the conflation of "expression" or "protest" with "speech", and the attitude that their cause is so righteous that it absolves them of any need to respect the rights of others -- I would expect that the vast majority of those 7000 were arrested for how they tried to convey their message, not what that message was. Your speech rights don't entitle you to stay on private property when you're not welcome there, or to prevent your fellow citizens from using public property (say, by blocking sidewalks), to disturb the peace, or to vandalize.

Re:Method?
After wandering around the links, I came across the following website; http://www.oinfam0uso.moonfruit.com/
FTFS:
THIS SITE HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER
Uh, Slashdotted?
T3am Hazard, OWNS Infamous
all they do is steal accounts + fuck with peoples shit
T3am Hazard Will now Be Helping Bungie + Microsoft Help find ALL THOSE WHO STEAL ACCOUNTS ALL NAMES WILL BE ADDED WITH IPS SOON. -Jokerz -
Method?
After wandering around the links, I came across the following website; http://www.oinfam0uso.moonfruit.com/
And since they're charming people, I have no qualms about posting their method here;
Now you may be wondering HOW do we get your information? its easy, you call 18004myxbox pretend to be that person make up a story about how your little brother put in the information on the account and it was all fake, blah blah blah you might get one little piece of information per call but then you keep calling and keep calling everytime getting a little bit more information every time. once you have enough information you can get the Pasword on the windows live ID Reset, they may tell you they cant but its bull shit. people at bungie CAN and WILL reset your password. believe me :)
So, sounds like a classic social engineering scheme, as opposed to 'hacking the system'. Even so, you have to wonder if phone reps really are giving out information, even if it is a small amount. Anyone tried getting information out of the phone reps yet? -
Pirates are cool(ing)Also
- It is a well-known fact that pirates are cool. This is evidenced by the existence of Errol Flynn and Jack Sparrow (aka Johnny Depp)
- There is a strong and well-documented correlation between the reduction in the number of pirates worldwide and increases in global temperatures
It's pretty clear that a reduced level of global coolness caused by a lack of pirates would result in increasing global temperatures, and we have in fact observed such a predicted upswing in temperatures. It's less clear how factors such as increased atmospheric carbon dioxide, reductions in solar output, or any of the other things driving Earth's natural warming/glaciation cycle might contribute.

Re:Specific to Australia?It's not just Baen's books, either.
Cory Doctorow's books ( Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom and Eastern Standard Tribe ) were posted online for free under a Creative Commons license, and Cory reckons it had a beneficial effect on his sales.
Don't believe me? Here's one of Cory's blog entries:Just over a year ago, I released my first novel, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, as an experiment in what would happen if I allowed my precious copyright to be slightly eroded by one of the Creative Commons licenses. I chose the most restrictive CC license available to me, staying cautious, and I waited to see if the sky would fall.
Another of his blog entries continues this theme:
It didn't.
Not (just) because I'm a swell guy, a big-hearted slob. Not because Tor is a run by addlepated dot-com refugees who have been sold some snake-oil about the e-book revolution. Because you -- the readers, the slicers, dicers and copiers -- hold in your collective action the secret of the future of publishing. Writers are a dime a dozen. Everybody's got a novel in her or him. Readers are a precious commodity. You've got all the money and all the attention and you run the word-of-mouth network that marks the difference between a little book, soon forgotten, and a book that becomes a lasting piece of posterity for its author, changing the world in some meaningful way.
The long and short? Putting stuff online like Doctorow, like musician George Michael, like Baen Books, or my friend Jules Reid (guitarist, singer-songwriter extraordinaire, English major... if you're in the Liverpool area, please support him! </shameless plug>) gets it out there - it's free advertising.
IMHO, I'm more likely to buy a videogame if I've played a demo version first. The same goes for picking up a dead-trees book, or buying a CD (or, in the near future, using a pay-per-download MP3 service). Sure, some people abuse the system, but it's still a beneficial system.
Going back to Cory Doctorow, for example. I've read his books. I would LOVE to get dead trees copies. I've passed the URLs around my friends, and some of them in the US have bought his books. Not once have I cost him a sale by passing around copies of his work, nor have I cost any other author a sale by telling people about sample chapters online (although I don't always buy the books - I don't like everything I read!). Similarly, a friend sent me a couple of MP3s of a singer called Katie Melua, and I liked her work so much I bought the album.
So, to sum up: my thoughts on media in the digital age are that licenses should be loosened and more made freely available, purely because it allows for word-of-mouth (i.e. free) advertising, and - much like a movie trailer, or putting a track on the radio - if people can see/hear/read/play it for themselves (or a cut-down version thereof; I personally think there needs to be a new kind of web-based movie trailer where you can download a couple of scenes as they appear in the film, or a 5-minute sequence, rather than the jazzy wham-bang 30-second TV trailer), they can judge it for themselves, and if Joe Public finds he likes the album/book/videogame/movie in its sample form, he's more likely to pay for the rest of it.
(Sure, people can read e-books on their PC, but what if they want a book for a flight? And okay, they can burn MP3s off the net to audio CD, but I don't have a comeback for that yet.)
Anyone want to support or refute what I said, or toss their two cents into the ring? -
Re:If only Macromedia...show me a Web site that needs all that crap
Moonfruit needs this. Build your own website in a wysiwyg interface. Drag and drop interface elements, scale/rotate images and text etc etc.
Geocities etc do java wysiwyg editors, but they are extremely limited in comparison, take longer to download and are frustrating to use
And before you start going on about homesite/dreamweaver/arachnophilia/vim/whatever, make a site that looks anywhere near as good in anywhere near the amount of time it takes in moonfruit, then come back.

Why doesn't this site work ?
This may be offtopic (Hell it is...mod me down).
But since I use mozilla as my primary browser. Here goes. This site,
poo-clan, doesn't seem to work. Anybody have any idea why ? I am using 0.99 :(. That is kinda my clan site. And I need to visit it once a day atleast to figure out whats happening.
Anyway, I love the tabbed browsing. Check out the pinball theme. It looks awesome. I already have nearly retired IE. -
Moonfruit?try this
Try doing that with HTML. The company is making money, doing exactly what this article is all about. Build a website by dragging components around the page rather than having to faff about with HTML designers and uploading your finished HTML code.
