  1. Re:A call for Mod sanity on Clarifying the Next Step in Australia's Net-Censorship Scheme · · Score: 1

    What happened to metamodding?

    It looks weird and fucked now. I used to just mark all -1 as unfair but I don't think it makes any difference to the system.

    But then again I haven't had any mod point since I modded +1 Insightful to all the goatse trolls.

    Will whatever fucking dweeb or dweebs going around abusing their fucking mod privileges please fucking stop? There have been a lot of LOT of unnecessary Troll mods in the last few weeks and I, for one, am getting sick of it. Mod points are here to help us focus and defocus interest - they are not intended for your personal censorship agenda.

    Slashdot mods are absolute fuckwits, if they had anything of value to contribute they would not be able to mod in the first place.

    Back to Australia - what are the freedoms regarding nudism and nudist photos?

    You would have to ask the Christian activists they are the ones who will be adding to the filter.

    In Australia there is no such thing as a blank music CD. Sounds like a product invented for the RIAA.

    What label?

    I only ever see CD-R 700MB printed on the labels, if the packs even have labels.

    It's copper, it's not like selling a TV or computer.

    Sure it comes in different grades and forms, such that a recycler might tell you what it was most likely used for i.e power lines, phone lines, train lines. But copper wire is still copper wire it is not as easy to identify as stolen jewellery.

    It's sad that freedom of speech can be taken from us so easily, the government is going to block anything it considers "Unwanted Content".

  19. Re:CB Radio? on Study Confirms Mobile Phones Distract Drivers · · Score: 1

    I find the two way more natural than holding a small box to my ear. Its just like talking to passengers except for having press the push to talk button.

    Plus often the people you talk to are in the local area or even in sight allot of the time.

    I recommend a better make of car.

    It is something you need to be careful of when installing 2way radio antennas, but a mobile phone has 3watts (I think) maximum output and is away from the engine bay.

    That only works in theory.

    In reality the passenger would need to know where you are going, for example telling you before you pass the exit.

    As a truck driver I fully understand the temptation to do things while driving, I sometimes use a map book while driving. But I don't see why texting is necessary if it's that important they will call.

    Here in Australia driving is a RIGHT no matter how bad or dangerous you are as long as you pay your licensing fee its no questions asked. During the test all you have to do is NOT crash and your passed, of course once you have a license your free to crash and endanger as many people as you like.

    Don't have time to look while changing lanes? no problem. Feel like pulling out in front of a truck? no problem. Want to drive 20km below the speed limit? no problem, oh and those "indicators" you've heard about... they just decoration no need to worry about them.

    The roads would be allot safer if Kelloggs stopped handing licenses out in cereal boxes.
