  1. I just wanted to say... on Censorship of Chinese Social Media Is Real, Comprehensive · · Score: 1

    ... before the Great Firewall of Australia is put in place: fuck Hu Jintao and his Communist Party

  2. Patch Tuesday? on Microsoft Accuses Google of Violating Internet Explorer's Privacy Settings · · Score: 1

    So can not Microsoft patch P3P in IE to identify these work arounds or simply reject Google cookies?

    Most apps will work with a recompile, anything running Java, .NET or HTML5 wont even need that.

  6. Depends on Ask Slashdot: Where Can I Buy Legal Game ROMs? · · Score: 1

    In Australia, you can legally download for free roms of games you already own. Im not 100% sure on other parts of the world.

    Not just leader, Germany has a higher death toll in school shootings than the rest of Europe combined. 56-46

  8. Re:Article is wrong about Christianity on Does Religion Influence Epidemics? · · Score: 1

    Actually nobody has found any evidence of a Nazareth exisitng in the 1st century. As for a messianic figure going by the name "Yeshua" there is no historical record, for a time and place where there were many many messiah figures.

  9. Re:Is the Catholic church still against condoms? on Does Religion Influence Epidemics? · · Score: 1

    Im not married, as a matter of fact I have multiple sex partners so of course I use condoms. Im saying that those that think abstaining from sex is the only way to be free of STD's is total bogus. A virgin could have just as easily gotten that HIV+ needle in my example above.

  10. Re:Is the Catholic church still against condoms? on Does Religion Influence Epidemics? · · Score: 1

    What if your wife contracted it? And STD's are not limited to sexual relations, they are actually blood desieses. Say your wife contracted HIV from a dodgy doctor using a used needle, will your anti-condom use protect you from your own wife? Especially if you sleep with her before anyone has any clue? The answer is no, you fail and you are now HIV+ for thinking STD's are purely sex based & your always safe with your monogamous partner.

    By that logic: Timmothy McVeigh goes to heaven while Albert Einstein goes to hell. Sounds like this God character is quite the egotistical bastard that only likes suck ups.

    The same old testemant that says sacrificing doves & pigeons is a good cure for lepracy?

    They couldn't understand desiese so they thought it was a curse. Nothing new here, ancient Greeks thought lightening came from Zeus.

    I removed Will Wheton & Felicia Day because they spam your feed harder than Farmville. Happens when only only 2 people you actually know really uses Google+. If I had half of my Facebook friends list on Google+ I would have shut down my Facebook account already.

    Don't forget those that were born inside the Matrix are not 100% human, they have the mechanical parts that allow them to plug in the Matrix, who knows what else the machines put in humans, particuarly Neo. "The One" maybe just had more machine parts.

  19. Impact is no laughing matter on BitTorrent Trial Makes Australia's High Court · · Score: 2

    All it will take is a dubious copyright or patent claim against Linux get someone's connection cut. Make no bones about it: AFACT has been much more organised and persuasive than the RIAA & MPAA and too are attempting to force ISP's to do their dirty work for them.

  20. Two words on Expensify CEO On 'Why We Won't Hire .NET Developers' · · Score: 1

    Managed code.

    Why? Managed code is not tied to an architecture, thats one advantage Windows 8 ARM will have over previous attempts to expand to PPC and Alpha.

    Except DA's dont usually engage in petty "fine" crimes. A cop fines you, you pay the fine end of story where a DA only gets involved if you contest it. District Attorneys have much better things to do like prosecute rapists, murderers, drug lords, etc.

  22. Re:Champion on Microsoft and Nvidia Abandon PC Gaming Alliance · · Score: 1

    OK, here's a basic education in what Steam actually is:

    Its a distribution platform first and foremost, eliminating the need for optical media, changing discs but it plays another role. It ensures if your hardware is up to snuff your game will play. It will install anything neccesary to make sure the game runs. If you get an old game that doesnt run well on DirectX 10? It will install DirectX6 or whatever is optimal for that game side by side. It also puts save files in the cloud if you so wish.

    Now: Ads are on the "Store" front page. Just dont go to the Store front page then. It lists top selling titles, specials going on at any given time plus top 10 selling lists, etc.
    The requirement of Steam? Starcraft II requires Battle.Net, Xbox 360 titles require Xbox Live to play online.
    Always running? Then set your settings so it doesnt always run.
    Why not just use the Internet? What do you think it is? You think a web browser? Giving a browser the ability to install and update applications is safe? Have we not learned from ActiveX?

    'Citation needed' was in reference to Linux would be much more virus prone than Windows. You may think that result by assuming popularity and not bad coding is responsible for Windows being as bad as it is, or assuming Linux coding is just as bad.

    And those numbers for market share you got was OS and Web browser request to their site, Linux primarly runs on servers (and now mobile phones due to Android), very few people (and nobody should) have web browsers on a server (hey Microsoft, sorry I didn't see you there!).

  25. Re:Year of the tablet. on Samsung Unveils Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy S II · · Score: 2

    Where will multiple phones suit people: especially considering they need to be on a plan. People wont fork out for more than one plan (unless there is a tax benifit for a business phone).

    This is the age of converged devices, the smartphone boom is comming at the shrinking (at least in the west) of MP3 players, PDA's, dumbphones and in the future possibly handheld gaming devices.
