  1. Julian Assange... on Inside CERT Australia · · Score: 1

    Your services are required. I expect the information to appear on Wikileaks ASAP.

  2. Re:Tor circumvents Paywall? on New York Times Paywall Goes Live, Loopholes Abound · · Score: 1

    Delete all your nytimes.com cookies and it will let you have another 20.

  3. Dear MAFIAA on SABAM Wants Truckers To Pay For Listening To Radio · · Score: 1

    I listen to music while I work all the time. You're never going to get a cent out of me for it.

  4. Re:I call deflection .. on Aussie PM Office Calls For Government Ban On Gmail, Hotmail · · Score: 2

    Amusingly, the nutjob opposition leader is even more unpopular.

  5. Pointless on Aussie PM Office Calls For Government Ban On Gmail, Hotmail · · Score: 2

    Blocking webmail services is like whack-a-mole. There's likely to be one somewhere that you'll miss, and when the potential leakers (henceforth known as patriots) find it, you're back to square one.

  6. Re:Fitting name... on Facebook Photo of Stolen Ring Puts Couple In Jail · · Score: 1

    'I want a ring. I want a ring. I want a ring' Gawd, that guy is lucky he's going to jail. Any woman who hounds like that isn't worth it. For what it's worth, I will /never/ buy someone a ring. It's simply not needed.

    ...all of the Stargates deserved to be axed. Terrible. terrible television.

  11. Please make this optional. on Chrome May Drop the URL Bar · · Score: 1

    I want the url bar. Making drastic interface changes without giving the user an option to accept them smacks of GNOME-style arsehattery.

  12. Re:Walled Paradice. on News Corp. and Apple Unveil The Daily · · Score: 1

    A choice between two leaders isn't much of a choice.

    However, I untied my shoelaces, not detied them.

  14. Re:Oh wow. on UK Gov't Wants To Block Internet Porn By Default · · Score: 1

    Provide me with proof that it was not common for children to see their parents having sex in their single room peasant dwellings pre-1800. Or, frankly, in some third world country right now, where they have similar conditions.

  15. Re:Oh wow. on UK Gov't Wants To Block Internet Porn By Default · · Score: 1

    I don't actually believe this. I wouldn't mind betting that pre-industrial civilisation, that children saw this sort of thing all the time - and not just pictures and films, but real life sex. Ie, their parents.

    Privacy in homes is a modern thing. I bet the children saw sex regularly and didn't think anything of it at all. They probably grew up with far more well-adjusted attitudes towards it than people in modern societies do.

  16. Re:Why under age 20? on Drop Out and Innovate, Urges VC Peter Thiel · · Score: 2

    So, lets say you're 25 and you want to drop out and innovate... wait a sec, you graduated at 22 and have had the job of your dreams and 2.5 kids over the past 3 years, right?

    Que? How many people in first-world countries have children at 22-25 now? Most people aren't even married until in their 30s. And if they have any sense, they'll leave it even later.

    No-one wants to be stuck with kids, a mortgage and the utter boredom of 9-5 office work in the prime of their life.

  17. Re:This isn't surprising. on Aussie Spies Spooked By Cyberwar · · Score: 1

    Ok, I'm not quite right, it's Securecode that went down: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-11935539. Apparently prevented some web transactions from going through.

  18. Re:This isn't surprising. on Aussie Spies Spooked By Cyberwar · · Score: 1

    Anonymous seems to mostly go for websites, however (although they did manage to take out Mastercard's transaction server, which was an interesting touch).

    If they only went for Australian government websites, it's no big loss. I don't know why the press went so nuts last year when the Dept of Comms webserver went down - meh, it's hardly important.

  19. Re:Misguided Rationalization on America's Cubicles Are Shrinking · · Score: 1

    Y'know when I was younger I would have worked on a shelf if it meant I had a job and I was doing something I loved

    How many people these days are actually doing something they love? I love to work with Linux, but every fucking sysadmin job out there now is loaded down with compliance bullshit which I have absolutely no interest in.

    What did you do? Go contracting, start your own business, retire or move overseas?

  22. Re:Keep up with the times on Corporations Hiring Hooky Hunters · · Score: 1

    Move overseas. Seriously. The situation in your country is not going to change until people start doing something to fix it, and in this case, let the free market sort it out - many European countries mandate four weeks or more paid vacation. When large numbers of good workers start moving overseas, the countries with poor vacation policies will have to improve to get the best staff.

  23. Journalists on Australia's Outback Could Get Web Via TV Antenna · · Score: 1

    This article is a good example of how little journalists know about the subjects that they write about. How much bullshit are we being fed when we read about fields that we know nothing about ourselves?

  24. Re:What free speech? on WikiLeaks Moves To Swiss Domain After DNS Takedown · · Score: 1

    I'm Australian, you moron. My country's economy is leaving yours for dead.

  25. Re:What free speech? on WikiLeaks Moves To Swiss Domain After DNS Takedown · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Your economy is in the shitter because you've spent trillions chasing ghosts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Maybe if you spent the money on, gee, INFRASTRUCTURE, like rail and roads, and thereby plowing money back into your own country, you might have something to show for the last ten years, instead of thousands of dead soldiers.
