  1. Re:Looking slightly dangerous for Rudd on Australian Government Delays Internet Filter Legislation · · Score: 1

    Yes Abbot is a very Catholic person and his personal beliefs have influenced government policy before, I'll think you find if you approach any of your local Liberal candidates that they do not favour internet filtering.

  2. Re:Bomb inside the building on Bomb-Proof Wallpaper Developed · · Score: 1

    Energy = heat

  3. Re:What is it with judges going beyond the law? on Judge May Take "Fair Use" Away From Jury · · Score: 1

    I don't have mod points...but this is the best description of the dual equitable and legal systems in English common law that I have ever read/heard - this includes my legal text books!

  4. Re:Uhuh on Does Bing Have Google Running Scared? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Remeber the last time you bought a Biro or a thermos? Just because your name is used as a verb rather than a noun doesn't mean you won't eventually disappear.

  5. Re:Not so clear. on LoTR Fan Film — The Hunt For Gollum · · Score: 1

    So characters are most definitely under copyright/trademark protection.

    There is a whole WORLD of difference between copyright and trademark law.

  6. Re:Science includes BOTH strengths and weaknesses on Texas Board of Education Supports Evolution · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but I was taught competing theorys about quantum physics, magnetism, atomic make-up, etc when I was at school... Though I did go to a Creationist school...

  7. Re:So piracy debate aside... on Spore the Most Pirated Game of 2008 · · Score: 1

    Yah, be good to see those stats. Though PES is still a fully English, legit title that is published in your local Gamestop or whatever. Just doesn't have any legs (I mean, to be fair neither does FIFA in the States, but whatever.)

  8. Re:So piracy debate aside... on Spore the Most Pirated Game of 2008 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not really. PES is REAL popular in East Europe/Russia. In fact it takes a significant part of the market share in non-US markets. But unfortunately for them it is usually popular in places where pirating is also popular.

  9. Re:Yes you're right on People Prefer Angry-Faced Cars · · Score: 1

    No, not even design philosophy. The American Focus is a POS, and is being dumped in 2010 in favour of the Euro style. Though that didn't stop you Americans buying the ugly thing!

  10. Bootcamp? on Safari 3.1 For Windows Violates Its Own EULA, Vulnerable To Hacks · · Score: 1

    I run a Bootcamped MacBook in Vista 98% of my time. Its an Apple labelled machine, and thus surely that is within the EULA to use Safari?

  11. Re:We WILL have androids in 20 years on 3 Bots Win Pentagon's Robotic Rally · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but we have been saying this since the 1980s! We are approaching 2010 - and have done little that science would've thought would happen. No civillian space flight, no humans on planets, no artificial intelligence, no cure to AIDs, cancer, asthma or the common cold. No voice recognition or text-to-speech worth two hoots. Only now are we moving close to reasonable touch displays and miniturised memory!

  12. Re:Read it carefully... on AT&T Issues Formal 'Censorship' Apology · · Score: 1

    Because when you write a contract it is impossible to anticipate all possibilities. If they listed EVERYTHING they can ban you for, it would go on forever, or be so broad as to cover literally everything. However, by this phrase they resolve the controversial issue without causing their lawyers to bill them a couple of hundred thousand dollars by drawing up an exorbitant amount of clauses.

  13. Surface on Digital Camera Memory Card With Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Have I missed a comment or is the future that the Microsoft Surface was aimed at? Devices, all types, have easy access Wi-Fi interfaces. Simply brilliant.

  14. Re:Not lawful on TorrentSpy Ordered By Judge to Become MPAA Spy · · Score: 1

    That dosen't make sense. It will be up to an appeal, etc, to decide whether or not the court has that power. Basically, courts can do anything. The only reason they keep within the law is that judges don't like being constantly overruled by higher judges and courts of appeal. Just like there is no illegal arrest (only unlawful), there is no illegal court order.
