  1. %placeholder title% on US Congress Rules Huawei a 'Security Threat' · · Score: 1

    Didn't we (AU government) do this for Huawei and the NBN?

  2. Re:Slightly on Study Shows Tech Execs Slightly Prefer Romney Over Obama · · Score: 1

    It's like slightly preferring the taste of dogshit to catshit.

  3. Re:Yes we know, so what? on UK Man Arrested For Offensive Joke Posted On Facebook · · Score: 1

    Sub Judice is dead, get over it.

  4. Re:INTERVENTION FOR smoking and there is addiction on Hiring Smokers Banned In South Florida City · · Score: 1

    It also causes you to completely miss irony.

  5. Re:That's like applying to be Canadian... on Woz Applying For Australian Citizenship Because of the NBN · · Score: 1

    I'd suggest the Barossa Valley. If you stay drunk for 3 years, the NBN should be there.

  6. Re:That's like applying to be Awesome... on Woz Applying For Australian Citizenship Because of the NBN · · Score: 1

    +1 for our new Minister for Science, Technology, Communications. It's been so long since we had one that didn't suck.

  7. Re:What about dimming? on Light Bulb Ban Produces Hoarding In EU, FUD In U.S. · · Score: 1

    Any fluoro isn't going to dim well at 50/60Hz - run it up at a few kHz and go from there.

  8. If it needs funding... on Light Bulb Ban Produces Hoarding In EU, FUD In U.S. · · Score: 1

    You're doing it wrong. You don't want another line in the deficit column, it should pay for itself thru fines.

  9. Re:Incidentally... on Beer Is Cheaper In the US Than Anywhere Else In the World · · Score: 1

    You get what you pay for. Peanuts - monkeys piss.

  10. Hmm, on Scientists Speak Out Against Wasting Helium In Balloons · · Score: 1

    What would Dejah Thoris say about wasting Helium?

  11. Re:DUI, collision, no jail time? on Can a Court Order You To Delete a Facebook Account? · · Score: 1

    Shrug. So what? Getting a license back after a serious DUI shouldn't be allowed, even if it does cause the offender a high degree of hardship.

  12. Re:Erased from existence on Can a Court Order You To Delete a Facebook Account? · · Score: 1

    From the outside you can do a get whatever revision you want.

  13. Re:Probably on Can a Court Order You To Delete a Facebook Account? · · Score: 1

    How is this remotely associated with facebook deletion?

  14. Re:Probably on Can a Court Order You To Delete a Facebook Account? · · Score: 1

    They can order you to delete it, but can they enforce it?

  15. Re:Right... on Australia Attorney General Proposes New Laws To Stop Twitter Trolls · · Score: 1

    If it changes. Also, if it gets sufficient numbers in the upper house to be able to do a rollback. Simply knocking back repeal legislation isn't grounds for a double dissolution. The Coalition would appear to be the greater of the two evils, in any case. I'm not voting for them solely on NBN - they change position on it nearly monthly.

  16. Re:Right... on Australia Attorney General Proposes New Laws To Stop Twitter Trolls · · Score: 1

    The opposition leader is equally unpopular. 2PP is about equal. Who will win the next election is in the realm of inspired guesswork, much as the MSM would like you to believe otherwise.

  17. Re:Lucky bastards on Google Kills Apps Support For Internet Explorer 8 · · Score: 1

    Microsoft are 2 major versions ahead of IE 8 - cutting edge it is not. I'll laugh when Hotmail make the same decision after you've ported those hundreds of users over.

  18. Re:Trading's Too Fast When It Ceases to Mean Anyth on More Warnings About High-Frequency Trading · · Score: 1

    A fixed tax on all trades where the buy / sell occurs within the same financial year? That makes it profitable to buy for investment, not so to buy for turnover .

  19. Re:EEEEEEE on QR Codes For Memorials · · Score: 1

    The QR codes would only work as advertised if the "cloud" part of the system is still intact. Otherwise you'd have just some fancy hieroglyphics for future archaelogists to decipher..

    And perhaps the Egyptian's hieroglyphics were that generation's QR codes, but their cloud died. (Image of someone pointing Egyptian smartphone at a pyramid and seeing 404 on its display)

  20. Re:Just goes to show you... on Look-Alike Web Sites Hoodwink Republican Donors · · Score: 1

    Yesss, I was sort of thinking, victimless crime?

  21. Re:FB shares on Mark Cuban Blames Himself For Losing Money On Facebook IPO · · Score: 1

    Amazon is already the world's largest online retailer, with revenues growing faster than Facebook's by some accounts.

    After all, Amazon are selling products, and Facebook still think the dotcom model is viable.
    “A million people walk into a bar in Silicon Valley. Nobody buys anything. The bar is declared a huge success.”
    And that is Facebook.

  22. Re:almost clicked the link... on The Lies Disks and Their Drivers Tell · · Score: 1

    LOSE LOSE LOSE LOSE! YOU WILL LOSE DATA!

    Sorry... I'm usually a calm rational person. I almost never become a grammar-nazi, spelling nazi, or troll. It's just that I see this so often I'm afraid one day Webster will just give up and switch the definitions of Lose and Loose.

    Nine, it will never happen.
