  1. Obligatory XKCD on Will You Even Notice the Impending Robot Uprising? · · Score: 1
  2. Re:I'll never understand... on Australia's National Broadband Network Downgraded · · Score: 1

    Given Simon is now on the NBN board you seem a little behind the news. Simon's smart but he is also a business man, out to make money now Internode is sold.

  3. Re: Not sure which is news... on Australia's National Broadband Network Downgraded · · Score: 1

    My guess is you have swallowed Rupert and Bolts propaganda very nicely. I'm well over 30, not far off double but there is no way on earth I would vote for Tony and the rightwing nutjobs. They are already behind in the polls, and have been utterly incompetent right from the start. Idiots like you a ruining our country. Luckily it looks like a rerun senate election will be needed in WA and should bring an end to Tonys senate majority, cant wait to see the liberal sycophants howl then.

  4. Re: Babinet called, wants his principleback. on 'Darkness Ray' Beams Invisibility From a Distance · · Score: 1

    There is nothing worse than Accurate well composed pseudo-scientific doublespeak.

  5. Re:Atheism is a religion on New Documentary Chronicles Road Tripping Scientists Promoting Reason · · Score: 1

    I don't believe in nothing, I only believe evidence. To argue that not believing in religion is a belief itself is the kind of crazy thinking that typifies the religious, who in actual fact hold such beliefs to avoid facing their own irrelevance in cosmological terms.

  6. Re:So do a Prime Minister on British Police Censor the Global Internet · · Score: 0

    Absolutely, the monarchy is much better than a US style president.

  7. Re:Being able to do the same things is irrelevant on JPMorgan Files Patent Application On 'Bitcoin Killer' · · Score: 1

    Exactly, as and Aus resident I often wonder how the US puts up with its diabolically hopeless banking system.

  8. Re:Being able to do the same things is irrelevant on JPMorgan Files Patent Application On 'Bitcoin Killer' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You don't have a left, you have far out loopy extreme right, (Fox news) and hard right (MSNBC).

  9. Re:History.... learn from it! on The Dismantling of POTS: Bold Move Or Grave Error? · · Score: 1

    In Australia we are under grounding more and more cables using horizontal drilling techniques which seem to work well.

  10. Re:Lie a little on Ask Slashdot: Are We Older Experts Being Retired Too Early? · · Score: 1

    So I hire people in countries that don't expect employees to be paid a decent wage.
    FTFY

  11. Yawn on NY Police Get Tall SUVs To Combat Texting While Driving · · Score: 2

    Slashdot, where you get the same news as Theregister, but a week later.

  12. Re:Why make him a martyr? on Washington Post: Assange 'Unlikely To Be Prosecuted In US' · · Score: 1

    The Swedish already questioned and released the man, and continually state they want to question him, so what possible difference would it make where the questioning takes place? You dont need charges only an arrest warrant for extradition as clearly they already have such a warrant they used to get extradition so again what difference does it make?

  13. Re:Needs more study obviously on European Health Levels Suddenly Collapsed After 2003 and Nobody Is Sure Why · · Score: 1

    Of course the real issue in Europe is they dont have heat waves often and so do not have airconditioning, unlike most hot parts of the US that do. It appears that there is no logical fallacy the blind opponents of public healthcare will not try and use. We have good health care here in Australia, and dont have the french doctors vacation system, which seems to be unique to france.

  14. Re:What's wrong with Tokens? on Chicago Transit System Fooled By Federal ID Cards · · Score: 1

    We have had a electronic ticketing system for public transport in South Australia for many years, the tickets are multi or single use, (with discount multitrip tickets available)and can be purchased anonymously with ease.
    We have peak and of peak tickets, works great.

  15. Re:Why make him a martyr? on Washington Post: Assange 'Unlikely To Be Prosecuted In US' · · Score: 2

    There are no rape charges, he is wanted for questioning, which already occurred whilst he was still in Sweden at the time the incidents occurred, then given permission to leave.
    The questioning could occur at the Ecuador embassy anytime, Sweden chooses not to do so.

  16. Re:understandable on Science Museum Declines To Show Climate Change Film · · Score: 1

    Those that don't believe the climate models use the same arguments as creationists, anti vaxxers and Birchers, no amount of reasonable discussion or facts make the slightest difference to those who deliberately propound ignorance.

  17. Re:Seriously on Geeks For Monarchy: The Rise of the Neoreactionaries · · Score: 1

    I think decimated meant reduced by ten percent, from the Latin word meaning reduced by one tenth

  18. Re:Don't look now on China Creates Air Defence Zone Over Japan-Controlled Islands, Issues War Threat · · Score: 1

    Which planet do you live on, Australia is not chock full of Chinese at all.

  19. Re:That's a shame on Skydiving Accident Leaves Security Guru Cedric 'Sid' Blancher Dead At 37 · · Score: 1

    Helicopters are a triumph of engineering over common sense. :)

  20. Re:The sea levels have already risen about 30 mete on Puzzled Scientists Say Strange Things Are Happening On the Sun · · Score: 1

    It's is the deniers that use the same tactics as creationists, any suggestion otherwise is ludicrous.

  21. Re:This isn't surprising on 25,000-Drive Study Gives Insight On How Long Hard Drives Actually Last · · Score: 1

    Yeh, it seems with hdd that if they go for two weeks they will go for a long time. I run a 120 pc network, and have currently got 70+ dells that are now 5 years or more old. Not one drive failed last year. They are all power cycled daily.
    The only SSD failure I have had was an awful Runcore device.
    The longest lasting drive I have owned was a Quantum fireball 9.1 gig/7200 rpm which is still going after 15 years.

  22. Re:What about the Japanese casualties? on World War II's Last Surviving Doolittle Raiders Make Their Final Toast · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Sympathy applies for all war casualties, there is no more stupid waste of life.

  23. Re:"three-pronged trailer hitch"? on Man In Tesla Model S Fire Explains What Happened · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised you have more than one towball size.. We only have 2"/50mm. How bizarre.

  24. Re:It's Obama's fault on Where Does America's Fear Come From? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Lol Trust me Bush did more damage in one year than the whole of the current presidents will ever do.
    The rest of he world is either crying over their dead or alternating between amused and disappointed in US actions since 9/11.
    Guns, healthcare, climate change, Iraq war, summary execution without trial and with innocent victims, It's like watching a bizarre right wing satire show. If it was fiction it would be hilarious.

  25. Re:When are they going to weigh-in on on EPA Makes Most Wood Stoves Illegal · · Score: 1

    Yeh, it went downhill when Katz left.
