  1. The bug report with included patch on Backdoor Discovered In Atlassian Crowd · · Score: 3, Informative
  2. Re:Transcripts on Linux.conf.au Talks Available Online · · Score: 1

    My thoughts exactly.

  3. Sony? on IBM And Sony Form Linux Alliance · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Get nicked.

  4. Re:article defends PHP; no bashing on TinyDisk, A File System on Someone Else's Web App · · Score: 1

    Sure, I agree. I wasn't very clear that I was referring to the article submitter's comment "...despite the default PHP protections."

  5. What does PHP have to do with it? on TinyDisk, A File System on Someone Else's Web App · · Score: 5, Informative

    Sure, well all know PHP is far from synonymous with security, but this seems to be a case of exploiting a web app using only the mechanics intentionally made available, just in a novel way. Seems like some unfounded (though not necessarily undeserved) PHP bashing.

  6. Brilliant! on iTunes Australia to Launch Next Week · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I submitted this story earlier this week (news.com.au article) and it got rejected. But I'm not bitter, just glad iTunes is finally coming! Even if it is without Sony/BMG initially.

  7. The end is nigh... on Are Media Writers Biased Towards Apple? · · Score: 1

    The pendulum is swinging....

  8. Re:Slashdot Delay on Hidden Codes in Printers Cracked · · Score: 1

    Yes sir! And let me apologise on behalf of some /. user with mod points who modded you down when you were really trying to do something good on behalf of the /. community.

  9. Slashdot Delay on Hidden Codes in Printers Cracked · · Score: -1, Troll

    Slashdot stories seem to be signifcantly slower to be reported than other sites.

  10. Re:How's it pronounced? on Transparent Aluminum a Reality · · Score: 1

    It's spelt and pronounced differently by our US brethren.

  11. ChangeLog? on Vim 6.4 Released · · Score: 1

    Does there exist a formal list of bugs that were actually fixed for vim? I've never been able to find one :S

  12. The Uni Tour on Google's Rasmussen on Google Maps · · Score: 1

    Lars must be doing the rounds in Sydney. Just the other week he did this same presentation at Macquarie University. Rob Pike was there too.

  13. Re:Java Java Java! on Choice of Language for Large-Scale Web Apps? · · Score: 1

    "P.S. I finally found some GREAT books though. Accelerated C++ by Koenig and Moo"

    Ah! So that's what Moo is ;)

  14. Re:Is their a reason that this is new? on Google Launches Scholar Beta · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I used it back in March on the advice of my supervisor, who had obviously already been using it prior to me.

  15. Re:You paying for it? on Australia's 'e-tax' Windows Only · · Score: 1

    What about on my Mac though? I can't afford that emulation software...

  16. Re:Open mind? on The Pseudoscience of Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    "Speaking of Galileo, it was the church the suppressed him..." Which is precisely why I chose it as an example... *sigh*

  17. Re:Open mind? on The Pseudoscience of Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    Your statement "the creationist's minds are closed" seems pretty closed-minded to me... And in this day and age, creationists definitely feel like they get persecuted for their beliefs. That's the parallel I was drawing with Galileo (with an added hint of irony).

  18. Open mind? on The Pseudoscience of Intelligent Design · · Score: -1, Troll

    Isn't this just promoting an open mind? All this talk about how creationism == loony bin reminds me of how poor Galileo must have felt.

  19. Re:EULA on The Verdict on WinXP SP2? · · Score: 1

    No matter how well informed he was, it's not like he should have expected what happened (nor accepted it because 'it was in the EULA').

  20. Re:Hmm not that impressive. on Time Lapse of Lunar Eclipse · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's just a small white dot moving along the sky. It isn't really worth watching.

  21. Re:My guess on the message... on Should SETI Be Looking For Lasers Instead? · · Score: 1

    Yeah! Although since I'm Australian I spell it that way normally (no excuses for "incoveniance" though :))

  22. Re:My guess on the message... on Should SETI Be Looking For Lasers Instead? · · Score: 1
    "Closely followed by some pedant pointing out the spelling mistake."
    Dang... I'll use aspell to check next time.
  23. My guess on the message... on Should SETI Be Looking For Lasers Instead? · · Score: 5, Funny

    "We apologise for the inconveniance."

  24. Mozilla 1.7 RC-3 on Mozilla 1.7 Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Does anyone know if there was any change from RC-3 to the final version?

  25. Re:acroread bug? on Mozilla 1.7 Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yeah I use Gentoo with Moz 1.7 and the acroread plugin now works well.
