  1. Re:And they say romance is dead! on SMH Outs Copyright-Violation Hunters As Porn-Pushing Brothers · · Score: 2

    You might actually find that small breasted porn is considered a 'fetish', and therefore unable to be given an R-18 rating in Australia according to the classification guidelines, and is recognised as X-18, which, depending on the state government concerned may or may not be illegal to sell. So technically, it already is...

  2. Re:I hope they do on Can a Monkey Get a Copyright & Issue a Takedown? · · Score: 1

    I doubt any apes are actually used these days. CGI is cheaper.

  3. Can anyone else say "sell out" on EA Buys Bejeweled-Maker PopCap In Deal Worth Up To $1.3 Billion · · Score: 1

    That guy's comment is all executive speak for "I need money for hookers and that limo". If they really cared, they would realise that EA has nothing to offer them, except for a payday. This is selling out at the top, pure and simple.

  4. Re:Evil Developer! on The Most Common iPhone Passcodes · · Score: 1

    You'll find that 2580 is just the middle column in the passcode view. It's not really that weird when you look at it that way.

  5. Isn't redirecting a domain still operating it? on Google Redirects Traffic To Avoid Kazakh Demands · · Score: 1

    I'm confused here. Isn't changing where www.google.kz points to (i.e. redirecting it back to www.google.com) the same as operating on www.google.kz? The domain is still active, and doesn't that mean to abide by their law they would need to have a server operating domestically?

  6. Re:Old news... happened yesterday! on Aussie Data Centres Brace For Dust Storm Barrage · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The dust may have settled yesterday, but I think cleaning bits of uluru out of the filters etc. in the data centres may keep the IT monkeys busy for the next week or so.

  7. Maybe we could fix the regulations instead? on AU Goverment To Break Up Telstra; Filtering News · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Seriously, the filter proposal is simply lipstick on a pig... The real problem for Australia is the lack of a clear regulatory system. As a gamer, the fact that we don't have an R18+ classification really irritates me, the internet classification system just depends on what the ACMA feels like on that day, as they don't have to get a site a classification, just declare what they believe the classification board would approve. It might help if we got a politician who understood technology, instead of the current streak of 'wonderful' caretakers

  8. Re:The enigma is.. on Spam Back Up To 94% of All Email · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Just because your ISP is filtering the email sent to your inbox, doesn't mean that it's not been sent. Spam messages are congesting the ISP -> ISP links, and that hurts the companies delivering the email services.
