I'm writing right now from a free wi-fi AP from internode inside the Adelaide Airport in South Australia! At least, it's as free as they make it: No SMTP/MSN/any protocol apart from 80.
As a technical consultant for a software firm that produces acceptable use policy enforcement software, I see this happening a lot at schools and some businesses. Students use 'anonymiser' and proxy sites to access prohibited content.
If anyone is interested in a solution, check out a piece of software called 'Policy Central Enterprise'. The software is server/client based, and is basically a keylogger of sorts. It has the ability to block URLs, and even words - so adding the word 'myspace' to the blocked words list works wonders. It also takes a screenshot and grabs the user's details and reports the incident to the server so the sysadmin can caution the student*.
I've had enough of calls from Indian call-centre workers saying they're in Melbourne. It's great when you ask them how the weather is there, and they say the complete opposite of what it acutally is.
It's about time something like this was put in place. But will it work.
Studies on research show that research may cause cancer, be a cult ringleader, is the neighbour from hell, cons unsuspecting single mothers and is causing obesity in our kids.
More on A Current Affair, tonight.
It seems Japan's looking out for the future; naming it the Anti-Monopoloy act will make sure that certain companies can't defend themselves by claming that "It's not a Monopoly - it's a Monopoloy! There's a difference!".
Little do people know, when using the word "Meh", that they could collectively be summoning up a giant cow-woman bearing a child with enough ammonitic fluid in her uterus to cause a great flood upon the land of Egypt.
Meh.
See, with a brainless zealot fight like that, the one that gives up first should win. The other would keep wasting time rambling about how IPtables sucks compared to IPF, so on. Meaninglessly, of course.
Purchase 1x Tux Plushie, 1x Daemon Plushie, fill them both with audio tapes of associated OS zealot's verbal spew, put them down and press play. Whichever one's batteries run out first wins the debate.
It's funny to see how a lightweight yet potentially pretty WM wouldn't be the first choice for producing a desktop OS. Why not include it with the distro?
Building a plot from the Covenant/Human war is pretty easy.
I mean, if they could make something out of Resident Evil's barely coherent story, then this must be similarly effortless, right? Resident Evil was good, wasn't it?
Macho heroes, guns, demonic creatures, it all brings in the llama whorde. What do they have to lose?

We've had a while to brace for this, it was stated when the details of the FTA became available early last year.
Furthermore, we are currently _discussing_ another useless FTA, this time with China.
FYI, one of the Western Australian governmental departments are also working on a Novell Project.
They've done it now. We're soon going to have a demonic whorde of fearless mice taking down everything in their paths. Damn you, Science!

Canada has it easy. Look at us in Australia, we accepted a free trade agreement with the US complete with the DMCA.
I don't see why Microsoft even bothers anymore, there's only so much you can add to a wheel.
Sooner or later there will be a company doing nothing but creating patents and suing other companies that infringe on them.
Actually, I'm sure I've already heard of a company doing that. *cough*SCO*cough*.
Welcome an easier way of recording and distributing TV shows. Will they stand for this?

Another patent infringement.
Perhaps slash should concentrate on more useful news. Company X being sued over patent Y by company Z is getting old.
Move along, nothing interesting to see here.

Nono.

Simple, no?

Goku can kick Mickey and Totero's ass.
