except in this case it is the previous government that did the cleanup while the current government has caused economic disasters. The liberals are not exactly nice and the war was idiotic but at least they cleaned up the disastereous state of the economy left by keating, Howards long reign allowed a whole new generation of people to forget the massive debt and interest rate legacy of the labor government, very few even remember the disgusting lies told by keating about how good the ecomony was before the election only to find out post election that he had run the country into massive debt and had been hiding it in the vein hope of being re elected.
I guess it depends. If you thought Rudd was doing a bad job then you should hate her too, she is just as responsible for the current state of the government as he is as she is one of the core policy setting pollies. You could also wait a few days to see if she drops conroy, if she doesn't then you should view her with the same disdain we all view him with as a vote her her is a vote for his state driven censorship.
Really this is just the labour party hoping that by dumping their figure head moron Rudd that people will forget Gillard is just as responsible as Rudd for the recent policy disasters. If anything Gillard is even more extreme than Rudd, lets hope the voting public can see past this sleight of hand.
Labour need to go before it's too late. Censorship and economic mismanagement are things that simply can't be tolerated any longer.
On my equipment I also have a right to control whatever the hell I want, if you want to use it then you agree to my network terms. I honestly don't give a shit what you browse, but I do give a shit about what malware and other unsavoury garbage you let into my network. You have the right to refuse to use my network, beyond that you have no rights.
No offense but I think it is far more likely you simply have a far lower standard as to what is funny or interesting if you can find enough on twitter and facebook to keep you interested every day. I am also willing to bet that my friends have far more interesting jobs and hobbies than yours, most are engineers and scientists with a few in IT like me and NONE of us find anything interesting enough to use Twitter or facebook for.
In many countries it is outright illegal to connect to or listen to traffic on a private network, EVEN if the network is completely and utterly unprotected and admined by a moron. When a large company breaks a law on such a large scale, even if accidental you have got to expect it to receive a lot of scrutiny. Also believe it or not your idea of a tape recorder and parabolic mic is also illegal in many countries unless you have either the peoples permission to record them or court issued warrants.
And by then the standard desktop will still be infinitely more powerfull. Why can't people just accept there is more than one market, a portable device can't offer everything a desktop can just as a desktop can't offer everything a portable device can. There is no reason why these devices must merge, they fill different roles even though they are both computers. For those that want something inbetween there have been docking stations around for 20+ years.
full-disclosure does not mean irresponsible disclosure, disclosure before a company has adequate time to test a fix falls into the irresponsible category. Full disclosure is about getting the information to the vendor, giving them "adequate" time to fix the problem then releasing full details on the problem. The only time Full Disclosure should precede the vendor fix is if the vulnerability is already publically known or there is an exploit in the wild.
Yep I saw it, they played like a team of highly skilled individuals instead of the well oiled team they normally are and played a close game against a team they should have smashed, wonder what could have interferred with there ability to communicate and play as a team huh?
So yeah I certainly saw the Brzil game, the question is did you???
possibly, I have turned off games because of how irritating I find it and I doubt I am the only one. Noise and atmosphere are one thing, but the endless drone of those f@#$@#$ horns is just plain stupid.
Firstly is very few fans of football can truly consider themselves independent enough to do this well. I will try, but I just know my bias's will in the end have some effect on the outcome of my selections.
Secondly it isn't just about stats at something like the world cup where there are very few second chances and It is a game where you can completely dominate the opposition and still lose to a single error or bad ref decision.
How are we to distinguish if its OK to use some of them but not others if people are too lazy to go through the necessary steps to secure their networks?
I would go with "They are public so I can use them" and "They are not public so I will not use them unless I want to break some law or other".
As you can see a perfectly good way of telling what a public network is already exists. Why add another layer on top of that to complicate things.
In many countries (Australia included) you would be dead wrong. Any network even if open and unprotected requires you have permission from the owners of the network to connect to it otherwise you are in breach of the Telecommunications ACT. Just because someone leaves there front door unlocked does not give you the right to enter.
The correct answer is, if your unsure if it truly public and open then assume it isn't regardless of how crap the admins of the network are.
No they aren't hurting there bottom line, they are helping there own bottom line, there are far more players that get pissed off and quit because of retards that bot then there are botters. It only takes a few in a battleground to completely throw off any chance of balance.
Secondly most people are DEFINITELY not happy with the botting situation, the majority of players are screaming at blizz to do something about it.
It's one registry key or one Group policy entry. I know people like to be spoon fed but geez, turning off admin shares generally causes most organisations far more issues than leaving them on and I completely disagree that it should be made easier, if anything it is too easy.
The automatic sharing of the C: drive as \\hostname\c$\, for example, has been nearly impossible to turn off for even a competent systems administrator without ripping out parts of the operating system you may want.
have to disagree, most competent admins know how to search knowlegde base articles. Took all of about 8 seconds to find the KB articles that describe the registry settings in detail. eg. heres the windows 2003 one. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816524
You seem a little confused, MS didn't keep archaic API's for fear of abandonment, they kept it due to one of there biggest mantra's (wrongly or rightly) has been backwards compatibility. There is so much cruft left in just about every piece of there software because of this and that same commitment to backward compatibility has what has allowed them to take such a huge piece of the corporate pie. They do a lot of dumb stuff but from a financial and adoption perspective the keeping of the old cruft was a brilliant move.
Even if for some bizarre reason your linux router wasn't supported (slow news day at slashdot maybe?), I doubt anyone would be at any real risk. Current deployment rate of the NBN should have most of Australia up to ADSL 1 levels by around 2030. Then watch as the government realises "Oh shit Australia has poor backbone connections to the US and Singapore and what we have done don't mean shit as we are all sharing the same tiny piece of pipe".
The OP said he is currently making a small long term profit. This is a common outlook for any poker player (myself included)
If he is taxed he will no longer be making a profit, instead he will be losing money
You claimed that wasn't possible, I showed you how it was possible. You can change the words all you like to whatever you like to fit in with the yearly taxation system. The simple fact is when you introduce tax he comes out a long term loser instead of a winner. ie he has less money instead of more money in his pocket even though at the poker table he wins more than he loses.
YES it does.
Year 1 I make $20,000
Year 2 I lose $16,000
I am now a long term winner at poker as I am $4000 up
now lets tax those winnings.
Year 1 I pay 30% tax to turn my earnings into $14,000
Year 2 I pay no tax as I made a loss of $16,000
I am now a long term loser at poker as I am $2,000 down with the influence of tax.
taxes are on profits in a given year, the thing about poker is you have a long term strategy that on the whole brings you out ahead, this can invovle long stretches of losses or wins which even out over time. reducing the profit of wins in a single year may actually take someone from long term winner to long term loser.
google are a technology company, a company whose technology "Accidently" collected more private data than it should have. And this makes you trust them more? So technical incompetence is fine with you as long as they own up to it afterwards? this is a company that actively collects private data and you trust them more when they show they don't have a clue about how there technology works?

Fantastic, now when you install an SSL Cert your computer will slow to a crawl, to uninstall the cert will require a complete rebuilt/reimage.
ummm you honestly believe that the EU would reduce its taxing simply because they got some juicy fines in there coffers?
I have a bridge I would like to offer you at a very competitive price.
Microsoft so far are one of the few companies that don't patent troll. They tend to use their portfolio as defensive patents.
