    Touche.

    Though I vaguely recall some Kiwi in the early 90s beating a shark off with a cricket bat...

    Baseball bats? Surely you meant "cricket bats?"

  6. Schoolyard Bullies? on Australia Attorney General Proposes New Laws To Stop Twitter Trolls · · Score: 2

    I'd like to know what sort of person that Farah was, growing up.

    I wouldn't mind betting that I'm like a lot of slashdotters - was physically bullied during high school by athletes such as Farah, to the point that the thought of going to school made me physically ill and I contemplated suicide to escape the (seemingly) never-ending physical and mental abuse.

    I'm disgusted by Trolls too, don't get me wrong. But I want to know if Farah is "without sin" (clearly he's not, at least in Gillard's case) before I give him an ounce of sympathy for "being bullied."

    I had some good experiences with their lasers, especially in big government departments.

    Of course, I was the contracted Lexmark service agent, so my good experiences were in being paid to work on them. ;-)


    (To be fair, they were a decent workhorse. That said, they were all equipped with PostScript, so I didn't have to deal with driver issues.)

    Ooh, anyone have a broker who can buy some of this for Non-US residents? I'd love to buy a couple of hundred share certificates in SCO to have on hand.

    Not only is it cheap toilet paper, but think of the novelty value and gag-gift potential!

    Au contraire, once you're driving 150mph, the scale inverts and the cyclists start having chances of Undeath.

    If these self driving cars are going to be allowed to travel at 200mph, we're going to be seeing zombie cyclists everywhere!

    Don't need a phone for that; I've had two Navman Navigators built 8 years apart try that on me in Adelaide. And if you've ever heard of Adelaide water, you know that'd be fatal.

    Wow... I'm actually in the boondocks of South Australia. Population is 1,500, the nearest major city is a population of 15,000.

    I can see two shiny 3G towers from my bedroom window. (Telstra and OpenNetwork (Optus/Vodafone etc))

    If mobile carriers there don't think that a city with 500k population doesn't warrant a tower or two, then I'm afraid there's no hope for your telco industry.

    It wasn't really directed at you. It's directed at the people who think they're being wonderful people by forcing their will/intentions/beliefs on you by "praying for you" when you don't want it.

    Sorry for the confusion.

  20. Re:Contrary to my morality on Saudi Arabia Objects To Proposed .gay gTLD, Among Others · · Score: 1

    Except in the case of "free will."

    For the sake of argument, let's assume that there is such a thing as a soul/spirit/fluffy-bunny. If someone else prays to change any outcome for someone else's soul/spirit/fluffy-bunny without their permission or consent, no matter how good the intentions, they are infringing on that other person's free will to do whatever they want with their own soul/spirit/fluffy-bunny.

  21. The summary references a law from 1987 that gives them the power to do so.

    Without reading the history of the Act, I'd suspect that those laws were passed in 1987 to make up for the fact they were powerless to react in 1984.

  24. Re:The judge;'s job isn't to get livid. on Apple Asks Court To Sanction Samsung; Samsung Fires Back; More iPhone Prototypes · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Regardless of whether Koh was right to disallow Samsung's attempt to use the F700 in evidence, Apple introducing it is a textbook case of "opening the door."

    Otherwise Apple is making an accusation ('See? The F700 is a copy!') and Samsung isn't allowed to mention the F700 in defending themselves. It's akin to saying "John Doe fucks pigs" and then disallowing John Doe to use the word "pig" and thus defend himself by saying he'd never seen a pig before, let alone fucked one.


    I can understand Apple being upset at opening the door, but that's the incompetence of their lawyer, not Samsung's fault.
