  1. Re:It's actually 84 on A How-To Website For Australian Voters · · Score: 1

    Definitely not an accident. They did it because they know that if another Green senator was elected, they'd have more power to show that they are a viable alternative to the major parties. By electing a nutter, they've discouraged people from voting for minor parties or independents again.

  2. It doesn't matter how good they are on Meet the Men Who Deploy Airstrikes · · Score: 1

    When the pilots can't tell the difference between canvas combat identification markers and "rocket launchers" and are ready to shoot first and identify later. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/190th_Fighter_Squadron,_Blues_and_Royals_friendly_fire_incident

  3. Re:Uh yeah... very speedy. on Speed-Assembling Servers · · Score: 1

    I thought he quoted Cory directly for the purpose of satirizing him. Or possibly satirizing the article submission process on Slashdot.

  4. Where's the quid pro quo? on Boot Camp Finally Supports Windows 7 On Macs · · Score: 1

    Still can't virtualise OSX though, at least not without a lot of difficulty and breaking the license terms.

  5. A question.. on In UK, 12M Taxpayers Lost With USB Stick · · Score: 1

    I'm no security expert, but aren't passwords meant to be hashed on collection? Why did plaintext passwords need to be stored at all?

  6. Re:Time for a new protocol on Every Email In UK To Be Monitored · · Score: 1

    Anonymous remailers, then.

  7. Re:Your boss has responded on Linux At the Point of Sale · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The most thoughtful thing I've read in a week... and the idea applies not only to business:business relationships, but also to business:employee relationships as well. Its not trite or self-evident that the best way to get that sort of a relationship is to carefully look at the needs of both parties and work to ensure they are both well met.

  8. newsgroups / p2p on Open Source Design in risk? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps more opensource info should be posted on newsgroups and p2p networks as well as to websites? That might make it easier to recover data when the site collapses and the owner is hard to contact.
