  1. Re:strike! on Security's Shaky State · · Score: 1

    Well, I think you've got the right idea with the second part of it... as IT becomes increasingly important and as these workers need to keep up with more and more, service will slip. This will be unacceptable, and the problem will be resolved. The only question is, how?

  2. Re:And then there was none on Kazaa Blocks Australian Users · · Score: 1

    I know - I can't help feeling like this is a sort of symbolic, yet useless (almost tongue-in-cheek) move on the part of Kazaa... I mean, I wonder what % of illegal downloading actually goes on through australian kazaa clients that won't work around this...

  3. Fun?! Sign me up! on Build a Program Now · · Score: 1

    "Overview: Easy to use - Fun - Easy to learn" Glad we got THAT straight. Somehow I don't think the little banner add off to the side telling me to visit the new Coding4Fun developer center will make Microsoft look more hip...

  4. Re:now im tempted on Barcode Scam Redux - Target's $4.99 iPod · · Score: 1

    Yea, me too... When I return it. (Of course, that probably means you've got to deal with forgery of any sales documents too...)

  5. Re:What if the spams originate from, say Russia? on USA, UK, Australia Sign Anti-Spam Memorandum · · Score: 1

    Nice. But i think that the population drop from that would throw the earth into turmoil. Someone using:
    + Lose 19% weight. New weightloss available to you.
    and
    + Pmkce s@ve m0ney 0n V~i_c_o`din, f.r.ee ship.ping *

    roughly 40 times a day (Conservative estimate on users that they spam) would die rather quickly. Of course, perhaps:
    BE ORDAINED NOW! ( Become a legally ordained minister within 48 hours)
    Might help them out.

    * (I understand L337, but THIS?)

  6. Re:For those of you about to defend this... on Reverse Graffiti · · Score: 1

    They're not commercial messages. Sure, i totally agree with you if you're talking about tags, but i, personally, have never seen commercial messages or product reviews painted on a highway underpass. And its not as if they are obscuring anything that you would rather look at...

  7. Only Hurting Themselves... In long term on Draft of 'Broadcast Flag' Treaty Now Available · · Score: 1

    I can understand them not wanting us to copy and/or sell an EXCLUSIVE, non-necessary product (such as a DVD, VHS, etc), but for a newscast or the like, that's public information that they shouldn't supress from us... not to mention that this stops us from recording information that could be important/necessary in the future... I'm sure the governments don't record half as much as the collective public does.
