  1. Re:No ! on NASA Proposes Warming Mars · · Score: 1

    I've heard those martians we haven't found have weapons of mass destruction.

    We need to warm them out of existence before they use them on us.

  2. Re:Hey on Using The Web For Linguistic Research · · Score: 1

    Something like pluralising virus to Virii?

  3. HOW DOES THIS GET MODDED INSIGHTFUL? on The Evolution of the Phisher · · Score: 1

    This person clearly does not understand how: - Phishing works - Certificates work Yes, users would not gt compromised if they use common sense. Well, they don't. No matter what we say. Phisher hit rates are quite low but they are there.

  4. Re:bet i could write a 15 line on World's Shortest P2P App: 15 Lines · · Score: 1

    I bet you can't.

  5. Re:Here's your foreign 9/11 on Arthur C. Clarke Reports From Sri Lanka · · Score: 1

    Still. Nothing like 9/11 coverage even here in Australia.

    I guess the towers falling made pretty impressive pictures and there isn't the Whodunnit with this horrible disaster...

  6. Re:That's nothing! on New Spoofing Vulnerability in IE · · Score: 1

    If you put a bandaid over your mouse buttons that stops you pressing them then you are probably correct.

  7. Re:Glad on Caller ID Spoofing for the Masses · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know how it works in Australia?

    Do the same ANI/CallerID features apply?

  8. Well let me be the 50 millionth to say. .. on Pay Attention To .Au/.Us IP Trade Law · · Score: 1

    "I for one, welcome our new American Overlords."

  9. SPEEL C-H-E-C-K-E-R-S on Spammer Profile: Scott Richter · · Score: 1

    He's fatally allergic to Spell Checkers.

    You go girl! I bet Comcast is shitting in its boots!

  11. Re:"Third-party applications" my ass... on Morpheus Infiltrates Other P2P Networks · · Score: 1

    Funny thing the way Morpheous used to claim it was ad free. Sadly the once only email address I used (Thanks to sneakemail.com) for morpheous mysteriously started collecting spam after Morpheous got booted.

    Seems they needed some revenue huh? Nice mail list sales?

  12. Re:Just ONE advantage? on Justin Frankel On AOL, Subverting The Status Quo · · Score: 1

    4. Can afford to fill /. with trolls. :-)

    Bah! They can take my wife.

  14. DeCSS on DVD-Jon Completely Clear · · Score: 1

    Does this make my DeCSS source code Tshirt no longer edgy and cool? I might audition for Australian Idol 2 wearing one just to see if I can get it on Tele in an ARIA sponsored event.

  15. Re:The real problem is... on Holding On To Hope For Beagle 2 · · Score: 1

    Bullshit!

    You and everyone else know there is a console on this sucker right now displaying the error:

    Keyboard Error. Press F1 to continue.

  16. Re:Childish behavior on Giant International Fusion Reactor Draws Nearer · · Score: 1

    Better to give it to an ally who bombed the fuck out of you just over fifty years ago.

  17. Re:Does not seem so on Spammers Using Hacked Machines as Decoys · · Score: 1

    Obviously the Polish wankers have disabled the web sites for the minute.

    Sounds like a Jihad against name-services.com is needed.

    The bad DNS hosts are the issue now.

    Mind you. We still need to clean the zombies.

  18. Re:Excellent idea! on Anti-Spammers DDoSed Out Of Existence · · Score: 1

    Better PGP / public key sign. The MD5 (or equivalent) is built into the key and there is then no need to publish MD5 keys where they can be DOS'd.

  19. Re:Excellent idea! on Anti-Spammers DDoSed Out Of Existence · · Score: 1

    Can't public key signing of distributed data be used to validate trust?

    This way the trusted authority could push signed lists up to the distributed network without even having a well known address to come from.

    Baddies would have to steal private keys to corrupt the system.

    Clients could easily validate the keys automatically and reject if unsigned or invalid.

  20. Re:People dont share much anymore on P2P Filesharing vs. The Web · · Score: 2, Informative

    Mine is an even more fundamental problem.

    I have a 3 GB per month download cap.

    My ISP has a no "Servers" rule. Large uploads gets you banned.

    I can't be a good server with my ISP Ts & Cs.

    Getting onto a better ISP for me is well... problematic...

  21. Re:Rural Area on Worldwide State of Broadband - S Korea, Japan Lead · · Score: 1

    The fragmented industry can be a good thing. In Australia we have a duopoly which means you only need 2 companies to introduce low bandwidth caps etc for the whole population to just have to accept them. I can't see that working across the board in the US due to the amount of competition.

    This was the passage that immediately sprang to mind wehn George Bush ordered the invasion of Iraq without a UN mandate.

    How little we learn huh?

    What's the value of the UN rulings now?

  23. Re:USB keys on Users feel Password Rage · · Score: 1

    Just store your secure password application and your database stored on a USB stick. HA! now all I have to do is get to a version of Windows at work that supports USB. :-(

    Example. (Probably referenced in the article somehow.)
