  1. Re:It's bad for you. on Engineers Find Nuclear Meltdown At Fukushima Plant · · Score: 1

    Then this could be very bad for the Japanese in next few years. Fish is a massive part of the diet, so if they're not careful the next generation is stuffed. Not sure what they export to the world... definitely something to monitor though.

  2. Re:WorldWide Telescope on Worldwide Night Sky Stitched Together In 5 Gigapixel Image · · Score: 1

    I thought it looked like something google would have their fingers in.
    Google Sky looks like a work in progress though.

    Funny how sites get smashed as soon as a link appears on /.

    Hey guise! We gotta stop the spams and scams coming through the portal!!
    I agree, the bloke is an epic twat. But he's good at wasting large amounts of money, I'll give him that

    ... said John Gilmore
    But that doesn't answer the question. Without Internet, Internet censorship is irrelevant. Also, TOR has nothing to do with censorship.
    You must've been rolling that quote around for a while, looking for the right moment to throw it in the mix. This wasn't it.

    Manning and Assange are both clearly protected by that whistleblower law. Wait a sec...

    I reckon I could care a little bit less too. I just can't be bothered right now

  10. Surely... on Assange Could Face Execution Or Guantanamo Bay · · Score: 1

    Since he's Australian I'd expect the government to prevent extradition if there was potential for him to be executed, like the did for Gabe Watson here. And Gabe was an Aermican citizen!

  11. Re:Like a bridge over troubled water... on Will Facebook Become the Net's SSO? · · Score: 1

    It's laughable someone would even conceive of a Facebook SSO. This must be fake? I mean look at this blokes name: Simson Garfinkel
    Given Facebooks history with privacy and the level of success people have with subverting accounts this cannot possibly go ahead. Also, i won't be able to log in anywhere because I'm not signing up to Facebook.

    That's actually a really cool shot. Had less than a second to get it too, he must have been quite the mathemagician to know where and exactly when to be.

  14. Re:Wikileaks is innocent I say on WikiLeaks Continues To Fund Itself Via Flattr · · Score: 0

    You make a good point here troll... I wonder if this argument will come up when the US begin extraditing Julian. If they find him guilty they'll need follow through and shutdown every newspaper, tv channel and radio station both domestic and international?

    Pul-lease!

  15. Re:Will they publish it ? on The French Government Can Now Censor the Internet · · Score: 1

    Australia has similar plans for its Internet Filter: the government is proposing that it be maditory for ISPs to enforce the government maintained blacklist.
    WikiLeaks published the Danish blacklist and was therefore added to the proposed Australian list here in March 2009. WikiLeaks then published the Australian blacklist here. When the Stephen Conroy (a doofus) declared it wasn't the real one ('This is not the ACMA blacklist.') WikiLeaks updated their list as at 1 day old.
    I fully expect a French blacklist very soon.

    This makes complete sense... therefore, good luck convincing your senate.

    Government won't publish the list... but WikiLeaks will. This: http://www.wikileaks.org/wiki/Leaked_Australian_blacklist_reveals_banned_sites
    WikiLeaks even got several mentions on the list! (though probably not for cp)

  22. Re:Bring back the oral exam on Harvard Ditching Final Exams? · · Score: 1

    Yes you can assess communication, grammar or how quickly they think on their feet under pressure. You can assess charisma and eleqution if you want. But if you want to assess someones understanding of subject matter, a presentation isn't the best approach for a large number of people.

  24. Re:Bring back the oral exam on Harvard Ditching Final Exams? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yep.. thats 3 hours concurrently. You could test 200 students in a 3 hour exam.
    Or with a 10 minute oral assessment, it would only take 4 working days.

    An oral assessment would grade presentation ability which is irrelevant to course content. Why make the rain-man do a presentation on differential integrals? He'd fail!
