  1. Surely... on House Paint Foils Wardrivers · · Score: 1

    A handgun would work better for when you find those no-life nerd wardrivers?

  2. So on Microsoft To Launch Homegrown Search Engine · · Score: 4, Funny

    Who's actually going to use this instead of Google?

  3. Re:right wing! on Internet Censorship in Australia? · · Score: 1

    I got my postal vote ballot papers today. I made DAMN SURE I put Family First LAST in my preferences, even after the Liberal Party.

  4. Re:ERR WRONG! on Internet Censorship in Australia? · · Score: 1

    In fact, the Greens are suing Family First for their bullshit "Greens want to give our kids heroin" ads.

  5. That's fair enough on Google Confirms Chinese Censorship Claims · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No use listing them if the users can't get there (that's if they're not using one of the proxy's)

  6. Re:Brazil's Voting System on More Diebold E-Voting Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    Why don't you adopt Australia's voting system? Pen and paper all the way!

  7. Battery life? on Big Demand for Digital Music Players · · Score: 1

    Using MP3 must definately drastically reduce the "30 hour" battery life.

    And there goes their "13,000 songs" claim.

  8. Re:Totally misses the boat on security on Apple Cites Open Source Core Security · · Score: 1

    People always talk about no-one attacking OS X because of it's market share, and it being a "low value" target.

    We saw, when the proof-of-concept virus came out, the media jumped all over it. Imagine the attention the first real OS X virus would get!

  9. Re:eBay on Duke University Students Receive iPods · · Score: 2, Informative

    The iPod still belongs to Duke for a year, then the student owns it.

  10. Freedom of Music Choice? HA! on Real Cuts Prices for DRM-Restricted Music · · Score: 1

    What an absolute load of Crap!

    REAL had to disable comments on the Petition, with comments such as,

    Hey Apple, don't break my iPod: DON'T ALLOW REAL TO SCREW IT UP!!!! UPDATE THE FIRMWARE AND LOCK THEM OUT!!!!!

    I wouldn't even buy a song from real if you would pay me for "buying" one. Stop crying, get your act together, invest in R&D and develop something useful yourself.

    Real is a dying company and will sell out their own mother to be part of a winning team. Don't believe the hype people... Real is NOT being altruistic here... they smell the money and it's YOURS. They also smell the slow dying stench of a company grasping at straws. iTunes is STILL the BEST player out there and you do have choice with it. MP3, AAC, convert WMA to AAC, and more ... go Apple

    Almost EVERY comment was along these lines!

  11. Re:Some definitions... on Patent Mess May Stifle Australian Software · · Score: 1

    In this case...
    FTA = Fuck the Aussies.

  12. MS inadvertentley put XP cd keys in SP2 on Windows XP SP2 Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    LOL. Open the RTM in Winrar or equiv, and go to either i386/ip/unattended.txt or i386/ic/unattended.txt there's a thread on Neowin about it.

  13. Re:Who needs 'em? on Patent Mess May Stifle Australian Software · · Score: 1

    Just hypothetically, I wonder if the entire rest of the world could collectively survive a cessation of all trade with the USA? And could the USA survive it?

    Yeah, if they don't mind their country being turned into Iraq.
