  1. Re:Legal nuance on Allofmp3 Restarts Business · · Score: 1

    Because the RIAA and MPAA are the only ones who pay the government enough to make a law like that?

  2. Re:How long until it is illegal to possess one? on Encrypted USB Key With TOR, Firefox · · Score: 1

    Just one, yours.

    In Soviet Amerika, USB keys destroy you!

  3. Re:The question on everyone's mind: on Mario 64 Working Full Speed on PSP · · Score: 1

    It doesn't emulate it. It runs it, uClinux. Albeit a cut down version especially for processors without a memory management unit.

  4. Re:Mono - English Joke Translation on De Icaza Pleads For Mono/.Net Cooperation · · Score: 1

    FYI: I believe that Mono is American slang for Glandular Fever.

    Hence the joke. Get it? GET IT? *glares around the room*

  5. Re:Man in the Middle on Gates Says Microsoft Will Support OpenID · · Score: 1

    The ID content is signed with the identity providers private key. Of which the the web app holds a copy of the public key.

    Good luck having the man in the middle regenerate the signature before the request expires.

    Back channel communication can also use TLS\SSL to prevent the viewing.

  6. Re:ZOMG!! on MPAA Caught Uploading Fake Torrents · · Score: 5, Insightful

    OMG the cops were also caught planting fake cars waiting to be stolen so they could catch car theives!!

    Grr, Copyright Infringement ISN'T THEFT!
    REPEAT AFTER ME!
    Copyright Infringement ISN'T THEFT!

    It would be more like the cops planting a fake car and then someone copying the design of the fake car, so they could catch people copying their design.

    If they were using debian they could just update from the cvs and apply the diff and recompile ;)

    I've attached it for them so they don't have to look up how to do a cvs update *cough*

  9. Re:I need to create my own business on Petabyte Storage Array · · Score: 0

    Does that include the redundant disks, maintenance (including personnel), hardware to connect and run them, supply power and software development to run and maintain them?

    This isn't just a heap of hdds.

    PS. Contrary to popular belief the low end (average consumer) hdd market has very low margins.

  11. Re:no matter how often on Australian Media 'Crooks' to Come in from the Cold · · Score: 0

    As for the arts: they flourished in the past (highlights in the 18th and 19th centuries w.r.t music/composers, for example) without any state protection. I am 100% convinced that artists don't need to be very rich for them to produce art. In fact, historically, most artists have been rather poor. True art (music, sculpture, drama, literature) doesn't have ANYTHING to do with lots of money. Todays commercialism rather destroys it.

    Yeah, that is what the recording labels and ARIA/RIAA are for. Only a small minority of artists ever see any real money for their works thanks to them.

    Where would we be without them!?

  12. Re:Fair Use on Australian Media 'Crooks' to Come in from the Cold · · Score: 0

    Yes, but to my knowledge, you can't use a precedent for a previous reincarnation of the law. You'd have to set a new one. The new DMCA that we're getting forced upon us will mean we have even less rights than that.

    I couldn't even register my full name as a screenname because it was already in use.

    Thanks John Smith.

  14. huh? on MPAA CEO Dan Glickman on the Broadcast Flag · · Score: 0

    If they don't sell it to broadcasters... won't they make less money?

    And if everyone refuses to watch it over this issue, they would only be forcing themselves out of the market. The moment people start wising up to this, that the consumers have the power, not the big companies, they will be backing down in a big way!

    Their entire empire isn't worth losing over a tiny percentage of people who decide to break some copyright rules.

  15. Re:Australian Government on U.S. Firms Take on Australia's CSIRO Over Patents · · Score: 0

    Your point being? Australia isn't as business orientated as the US government, the AU government would rather look after its people rather than it's businesses. Which is exactly what the CSIRO does.

  16. Bigpond... on Major Aussie ISP Disconnecting Trojaned PCs · · Score: 1, Funny

    I bet they emailed the customers about the problem. Telstra rocks!
