  1. Re:What about child porn? Shouldn't we block that? on UK Internet Porn Blocking Rejected · · Score: 1

    where are you going that you're stumbling on child porn all the time? and c: that was my point, if you go after the creator/distributor you're actually *doing* something to protect children rather than ignoring the problem.

  2. Re:What about child porn? Shouldn't we block that? on UK Internet Porn Blocking Rejected · · Score: 1

    because blocking:
    a: doesn't actually prevent access
    b: costs money
    c: allows the government to ignore the fact that the material exists rather than trying to put the creator/distributor in jail
    d: fucks with my internet

    dx.com? what the fuck are you even talking about, maybe you should actually provide a link to a better product for the same price?

    ie isn't the mainstream any more and i really hope that turning off features like webgl make it into the other browsers soon so people can stop listing this as a concern. how hard is it to block a tag?

  15. Re:Corporate use on IE 10 Almost Finished For Windows 7 With Final Preview · · Score: 1

    integrated domain auth isn't that big a deal, on firefox they just have to put their pass in and click remember. if you want it to happen automatically you need to add the domain to about::config somehow, i don't care enough to figure it out but it probably isn't that hard.

    i think that was his point, ie is not the target market.

  17. People bitch about html5 on The Shumway Open SWF Runtime Project · · Score: 1

    but the main reason people are all jumping on the bandwagon is because with html5 there is at least a light at the end of the tunnel. sure it's missing a bunch of features but at the same time it eats into flash's feature set it fixes a bunch of the flaws with html4/xthml. Also it's not the complete cluster fuck that is flash.

    heh, their help desk is hilarious, had to get a dsl password reset, after 30 mins on the line to one of their staff from Papua New Guinea (i believe they actually give them english lessons to get them into the role) and them attempting to sms me the new randomised password 5 times and receiving nothing we were at an impasse. i gave up for the night, called back the next day to get one of their remaining australian staff, he reset the password and told me it over the phone and i was rolling. about a week later one of the sms came through with my new *email* password. efficient.
