  1. Re:"THEY" don't have to prove it. on Court Allows Unmasking of P2P Downloaders · · Score: 1

    The requirement on THEY is much less than you might like to believe

    "THEY" have to prove your IP was the connection

    then it's your responsibility to mount a defense "YOU" have to PROVE you were hacked then YOU must PROVE the hacker did it

    - I supply a log from my router of which MACs connected to which DHCP supplied IP addresses, with timestamps. It's as valid as the ISP supplied logs.

  2. Re:Pardon my ignorance... but tor for P2P? on Why Tor Users Should Be Cautious About P2P Privacy · · Score: 1

    It might seem valid, but it's still eating bandwidth. Find a better way of doing it than using Tor.

  3. Re:Jury also hung on one count on Palin Email Snoop Found Guilty On 2 Charges · · Score: 1

    Sarah who? Is she a sister to Michael Palin, well-known Monty Python?

  4. Re:sco still alive? on SCO Asks Judge To Give Them the Unix Copyright · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    "arbitrary *religious* morals" - which follow no process of logic or rational thought.

  5. Re:1st post on Apple Bans Online Sales In Japan · · Score: 1

    Apple have come a long way as far as this goes, I'd say they've caught up with Microsoft. I can see them overtaking them, even.

  6. Re:Wrong wrong wrong... on Backdoor Malware Targets Apple iPad · · Score: 1

    Step 1 - I'd debate that in this iteration that the iPad has a working OS. It's akin to MSDOS 1.0

    Well they are. Jailbreak one and put Android on it, and you'll be close to a working product.

  8. Re:Wrong wrong wrong... on Backdoor Malware Targets Apple iPad · · Score: 1

    Mod this up, I think he's attacking bloatware, (aka Office) and its tendency to add features (and rearrange the UI) with every release.

  9. Re:wait, what? on Paper Manufacturer Launches "Print More" Campaign · · Score: 1

    It's time someone did a "Downfall" youtube parody of them for doing this.

    And energy.

  11. Re:wagging the dog on Pope Rails Against the Internet and Transparency · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So if an organisation does some good things, that gives them the right to do bad things (to balance it, perhaps?)

    Aren't they supposed to be held to a higher standard, being officers of the court?

  13. Re:Buying ARM for a leg? on Apple To Buy ARM? · · Score: 1

    I'd sooner they bought Intel, and stuffed them up.

    Now we find out if Google were using security through obscurity.

  16. Re:Diff story? on Web Coupons Tell Stores More Than You Realize · · Score: 1

    Yes, and at home, (in Canberra) I might do that. But having that kind of a fight in a country I've gone to for fun (ie, as a tourist), and where I don't speak the language, strikes me as counter-productive.

  17. Re:Diff story? on Web Coupons Tell Stores More Than You Realize · · Score: 1

    I think you're saying that they won't do that - if I was a tourist in Rome, I can think of more fun things to do than play with their regulatory system.

  18. Re:Local Laws on Self-Destructing USB Stick · · Score: 1

    Hmmm. I think I could like that place. Do they have an ordinance against using cutlery for eating pizza?

  19. Re:Don't Need One... on Self-Destructing USB Stick · · Score: 1

    But this has some device that if someone tries to forcibly open the memory stick it triggers a self-destruct mechanism that 'irrevocably burns [the Secure's] CPU and memory chip.' - doesn't sound so passive.

  20. Re:diode effect? on US-Australia Tensions Rise Over Net Filter · · Score: 1

    I've always operated under the belief that the US government uses the internet as a means (probably the most effective means since we rely so much less operatives then we have in the past) to disseminate their own "form" of democracy. The US has invested heavily in this outlet of propaganda (news, if you prefer to call it that).

    Australia jeopardizes all of this by possibly starting a trend that spreads to other countries

    Australia started this? China's been doing tit for years.

    yes, google cache will likely have a pretty good reprint of it.

    I'm guessing "allow them to do it" will be in the initial debit card fine print, or covered by the "we can change the t&c any time we like with one months notice"
