The last election was extremely close and current government only got into power by making deals with independent and green (earth first not alien) politicians. Personally, I think it was the lack of a decent choice that lead to such a close vote. Neither party had any stand out policies or direction.
But that's not going to happen because of the politics of shrill earth-firsters and others who don't understand nuclear and who think that every nuclear plant is Fukushima or Chernobyl.
Ensuring that greed doesn't ruin the planet for my grandkids is what keeps me wary of a nuclear answer for our energy needs. I'm sure there are safe ways to store waste so that in 100 years it hasn't leaked and trashed the environment. I'm also sure these ways cost more money than something that barely does the job but keeps the company profits growing year on year and allows the executives to pocket huge bonuses.
Current hybrid cars have scared me half to death on my daily cycle to work - imagine a freaking sex oozing cigarette car passing by going CHOOOCHOOOOO.
Patents are a non-issue unless you plan on commercializing a solution, and if that is the case, you (or the government) could license what is needed.
How do you find out which patents you've touched upon without paying for lawyers? How do you find the money to license said patents before you've made any money from your product?
Dear God,
Please make sure that Senator Stephen Conroy doesn't hear about this. He'll have the asylum seekers reviewing porn sites for $1 a day.
Thank you, hail mary, and all that jazz
I'd be more inclined to read a story entitled "CompanyX says their new product is crappier than the competition and far worse than the previous release".
I notice that Shatner suggests that Kirk runs off with Leia. Wonder if Patrick Stewart would suggest that Picard should be the one to take Leia to the holodeck:)
Whatever happened to taking responsibility for your own actions? We have reversing cameras in cars because people can't take responsibility for their kids and might run them over. We have playgrounds without any risky equipment like monkey bars because kids might get hurt and their parents would sue. Time to take a teaspoon of cement and harden up.
Encourage fat-ass drivers to walk, carpool or ride a bicycle
Encourage people to move out of suburbs, closer to their actual jobs
Don't know what it's like where you live, but in Australia inner city rental prices are out of reach of the average worker. If people had to move inner city, rent would rise making it even more unaffordable. We also lack decent facilities in most building for bike riders - showers, secure lockup. I'm not against the idea (I ride part way to work), but it requires a massive change in societal attitude.

Seeing Florian Troller's name in the excerpt is enough to ensure I never RTFA. Thanks to OP for saving me the time - it's better spent writing this post, or getting a colonoscopy.
Only guessing here, but Florian seems to be paid by Microsoft somehow to say these things. He even has written against IBM for the sake of Microsoft crushing IBM's mainframe business.
His blog is misnamed - it should read what his intentions are - Anti-FOSS Blog.
The grumpy old TROLL lives under the bridge. Let's not FUD the TROLL by giving him any more clicks on his page.
Amazingly the Cloudfoundry blog itself had a much more dramatic telling:
"... At 8am this effort was kicked off with explicit instructions to develop the playbook with a formal review by our operations and engineering team scheduled for noon. This was to be a paper only, hands off the keyboards exercise until the playbook was reviewed.
Unfortunately, at 10:15am PDT, one of the operations engineers developing the playbook touched the keyboard. This resulted in a full outage of the network infrastructure sitting in front of Cloud Foundry. This took out all load balancers, routers, and firewalls; caused a partial outage of portions of our internal DNS infrastructure; and resulted in a complete external loss of connectivity to Cloud Foundry."

They had to answer 700 question
I wonder how you can do that properly in just 3 days?

If only I had some mod points +1 Funny
That's why I like Aussies! Just like Brits without the whinging! (runs)
FTFY :)

Wonder if anyone has found these sites in moonzoo?

Yeah, but the scientist in question has worked out how to break the second law of thermodynamics ;)
Yeah doesn't Hugh Jackman have something like kinectasploit on a PDP-10 somewhere :)
Call me old school, but I'd prefer a command line. Can't see this taking off for security professionals.

I immediately loaded the article and searched for "Florian Müller". Imagine my surprise when the name didn't come up. His first mention is on page 2.
I immediately scan the /. replies for mention of Fucknut Muller :)
Thanks to the mods more making this easy
Always wanted to catch me a three headed fish. Where do I sign up?
Dude! TFA says he's a patent expert... I'd go with an expert dickhead.

The tenth security professional is busy selling data stolen from Debix.

I'd hate to be that ops guy.
Does this engineer work for Sony?
