  1. Re:Things like this... on Gore Site Operator Arrested For Posting Video of Murder · · Score: 1

    No more free speech then posting videos of rape and child molestation.

    "Freedom of speech is the political right to communicate one's opinions and ideas using one's body and property to anyone who is willing to receive them."

    I fail to see what opinions and ideas are being communicated.

  2. Whats worse.. on Generic TLDs Threaten Name Collisions and Information Leakage · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I used to work for a company where some uncommon but in use domain names where being used on the intranet, and where overriding the internet ones.. A real pain in the ass.

    "Matt Smith, the current actor playing Doctor Who, doesn't use Facebook or Twitter, despite his geek icon status. He also worries that social media encourages us normals to have more outstanding view points and to express our selves rather the welcoming our new meta-media overlords" -I for one welcome our new Microsoft music playing overloads.

  5. Re:Farts in their general direction. on Dropbox Wants To Replace Your Hard Disk · · Score: 1

    I agreed, I was filially looking at using Dropbox for real data storage when I got my new HTC One XL and the free 25gigs.. But that only lasts 3 years.. what's the point?

    If those 25Gigs had of been permanent, I would of used them.. most likely filled them up, gotten dependant on dropbox as a storage method, and bingo bought more..

  6. Re:A conspiracy... on 2 Men Accused of Trying To Make X-Ray Weapon · · Score: 4, Informative

    " i was surprised that microwaves aren't ionizing rads since they are often referred to as cooking from the insides.."

    But they don't cook from the inside out.. Extremely old microwaves used to come with a thermometer that stuck down into the middle of what you were cooking so they could slowly cook from the outside in and would stop when your food was fully cooked. Newer microwaves realised that ppl quickly catch on to how to use them and a billion microwave cookbooks out there and removed the mostly redundant piece of equipment.

    Not sure why you are spreading that old myth, and haven't worked it out yourself when you undercook something your self and find its still cold in the middle, but eh.

  7. Re:I can explain on Scores of Vulnerable SAP Deployments Uncovered · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I can also explain, having gone through a SAP implementation 2 years ago, we were still plagued with bugs that had fixes issued over 4 years ago..

    Seems they somehow didn't install fully patched updated modules, and with a yearly renewal.upgrade cost it all makes sense now.

  10. I don't drink coffee on Disease Outbreak Threatens the Future of Good Coffee · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "The integrity of this once-complicated ecosystem has been slowly breaking down, which is what happens when you try to grow coffee like corn."

    So long as we don't try and grow corn like corn, I'm happy, I love my popcorn!

    Perhaps the issue is not climate change, but rather some evolution of the coffee rust..

  11. Re:Are you serious? on It's Time To Start Taking Stolen Phones Seriously · · Score: 4, Informative

    LOL your so funny, cause if the Government wanted to or the phone provider wanted to they couldn't cut of your phone access any other way?

    People don't get mugged for phones much out here in Australia, all you have to do is report the phone stolen and its blacklisted.. Not even doggy pawn shops take a phone without checking that. You would be left selling on ebay, even then the buyer would just file through Paypal to get their cash back.

  12. Re:Respect Your Elders, Telstra! on Beer Fridge Caught Interfering With Cellular Network · · Score: 1

    I had logitech 5.1 speakers on my computer that would pick up a FM station in the low end for ranges of about 5-10 seconds every minute, and of course an old P1 that I had to over clock to listen to my fav FM station..

  14. Things do change.. on Australian Intelligence HQ Blueprints Hacked · · Score: 1

    As a kid I used to wonder around the grounds and bildings of the Russell Offices in Canberra and home of the Australian Department of Defence. Security in the 80's was a joke,I used to just wander in and out of buildings and around the grounds.. I was only quested once, and that was when I was about 13.. I sort of stopped going after that.

    Most of my floppy disks as a kid came from ones just thrown out the windows.. If i needed paper to scribble on, reams of old school data prints were just thrown out, half used notepads etc, pens all sorts of cool bits and pieces..

    Its not like that anymore =>

    You may want to actually check your local laws, here it is Illegal to not secure a vehicle. If you are a real asshole to the cops when reporting someone stole your car or valuables, the cops will remind you that you can be charged with failing to properly secure your motor vehicle. Usually calms the idiots down.
