Australia's Privacy Boss Slams Gov't Data-Retention Scheme
mask.of.sanity writes "The Australian Government's privacy commissioner has slammed its plans to implement a data retention scheme, in which it would ask telcos and internet providers to store the browsing and calling logs of Australian subscribers. He said the scheme would put user privacy in jeopardy because data will lie around at the behest of law enforcement. The Aussie scheme would be based on that which exists in Europe under the EU Directive. The directive aims to give law enforcement authorities the ability to ascertain the identity of a person using a public network to communicate by mobile, fixed line, email, or internet. The directive defines 'data' to be collected as 'traffic data and location data and the related data necessary to identify the subscriber or user.'"
Frosty Piss!!!!
We can clearly see that there is no bi-univocal correspondence between linear signifying links or archi-writing, depending on the author, and this multireferential, multi-dimensional machinic catalysis. The symmetry of scale, the transversality, the pathic non-discursive character of their expansion: all these dimensions remove us from the logic of the excluded middle and reinforce us in our dismissal of the ontological binarism we criticised previously.
"in which it would asked telcos and internet to"
Try that again? I'm not even sure I know what's being attempted. The rest of TFS is similarly bad. I think it has something to do with privacy in Australia.
Then again, privacy hasn't been popular among governments anywhere in the world lately, so I could be mistaken.

This has been here for hours and not got a single comment. I just felt sorry for it.
It's not like this post was originally not in English. Is that a record for first sentence errors?
damaged by dogma
Slam, scam, Scamdot? What is it im getting at here...
Either (a) no one's made a comment in 3 hours since this story was posted, or (b) something's glitched up on Slashdot and this won't go through.
We know where leadership by an anti-intellectual "strongman" who scapegoats minorities and likes boisterous rallies goes
This program very good, a high-tech.
