Agreed, been a reader for around 15 years only recently started posting, it's the wide scope of articles no matter how loosely based on the slashdot tagline that keeps me coming back. dont like it, dont read it. easy.
Weird, I think it only made TV news in NZ in the last few days... then again, NZ TV news isn't exactly known to be up-to-the-minute either, even for NZ stories.
get two drones, one with Fuck PETA and the other with Fuck Hunters signs, buzz both parties and slowly bring the parties together and watch the ensuing hilarity from a distance.
never had linux crash on me, I didn't even know it did this stuff. unlike M$ (Im much older than 14 by the way, it is an apt acronym, if you think otherwise you're really not paying any attention to what they are doing) which I have experienced uncountable crashes over my years of experience.
You do know you need to power your computer THROUGH the UPS and not just next to it right? I've never seen one that didn't switch immediately, I would suggest maybe your batteries are screwed or you're running too much load. I had a cheap UPS fail on me, but only by dropping a power resistor out of the circuit board when it got too hot, board was mounted upside down, resistor and heatsink just dropped straight out. soldered it back in , replaced fuse and it runs again, I haven't put it back into proper service though as that isn't a type of failure I want again.
that is weird, my CC was just replaced with a chip+pin non nfc (in NZ) but I was in Sydney the other week with my nearly expired chip+pin CC and when using it I was asked to sign instead of using pin...also, New Zealand McDonalds can take purchases under about $15 or something with no authentication whatsoever, I thought that was a bit off.
hmmm, I don't really know if that would be the case, are there actually that many countries in the running for free trade? anyway, back to the actual topic here, I just came back through customs in Auckland today with a mini server and 40 USB flash drives in my backpack and didn't get a second look, did get a second scan through the bag xray though but no follow up, didn't even see a customs agent on the way over to Sydney, walked straight though.
I didn't read any evidence of trying to sell fibre to a recycler, my first thought would be Denial Of Service attack, screw TCP/UDP packets which can be filtered when you can just rip out the cable and cause a couple of days downtime with no other solution than replace and only takes a couple of minutes of work. I'm surprised this hasn't happened to the new NSA datacenter in Utah or wherever.
how would the economy tank and export industry be damaged? I doubt we'll be receiving any sanctions for refusing to bow to the US's every desire, all I can see is no change from what we have now. how about the local manufacturers who are going to get screwed by a free trade deal? we've already seen Toyota in Thames go down the tubes due to the dropping of import tariffs IIRC, no matter which way you look at it someone is going to lose... I would rather it be the fatcats than everyday Joe NZer trying to feed his family on minimum wage.
I wouldn't judge a friend like that but as for running NZ, I would like someone with NZ's best interests at heart rather than someone who works to maintain their own wealth at our expense. it's a real catch 22 - we want someone with good business sense but not someone who makes decisions based on what they personally have to lose. it wouldn't surprise me to find out that JohnKey has a lot to gain by a free trade deal with the US (as would a lot of regular NZ'ers) but should we really kiss ass and sign away our rights as a nation to get it? I personally would prefer to tell the US to take a flying leap as we did with the nuclear ban - even though that is based on a lot of FUD anyway. at least we stood our ground. the only way to win is to not play the game.
he has a personal fortune of around $50mil (NZ$ of course) he has a lot to lose by not bending and taking it like a champ. therein lies the problem for NZers, we have to vote this lacky out.
I'm wondering if they could even fence off an area without someone ripping it down and trading it in for cents on the dollar? there is a big enough problem with this sort of thing where I'm from so I cant imagine Nigeria being any better.
not whistling but cshhhhhhh would sometimes get a 'connect' response from my old modem, max 1200bps was all I could manage though, never could get a v90 connection despite doing a great 'boing boing cshhhhhhh' impression.
oh that made me laugh - use source code to change the molecular structure of your CPU, explode with the power of a hand grenade, I'm surprised it didn't mention turning your children into prostitutes and goatseing your peen hole, spinning your HDD up to 500k revs then releasing the disk like a Frisbee of doom able to saw it's way through an entire city block, bringing your mouse to life and using it to strangle anyone who comes close enough... I would go on but I'm not as good at making stuff up as the article's author.
I wonder if I could get funding for 'the pink nosed elephant' - that's the one where you pull your pants pockets inside out for the ears and flop out your... well you can probably figure out the rest.

come on, paper and cardboard were once wood.
ask your future kids, they'll probably never have a clue what you're talking about. WTF is a postage stamp dad?

It is a 'dark room' after all, it's not easy to find stuff in the dark.

chopping idiots up with an axe is also 'hacking people' but would you consider an axe-murderer a hacker also?

if only they'd remove all references to unity as well.

I honestly cant say I've seen any linux mags in New Zealand before, any other NZ'ers out there seen any?
