  6. I figure he's safe on Geohot Joins Facebook As Product Developer · · Score: 1

    If Facebook operates anything like it's CEO, it's more likely to treat you badly and screw you over if you're his friend.

  7. Re:I would have given up a while ago on Winklevoss Twins Finally Give Up Fighting Facebook · · Score: 1

    Maybe if you copyright that idea and sue the Winklevii when they do something that sounds similar (to someone who has no idea about islands) then you can have a couple million for yourself.

  15. Welcome to Australia... on Verizon Customers: Say So Long To Unlimited Data · · Score: 3, Funny

    We're also upgrading your service with Oceanic Lag, shaped broadband, taking 100 or so of your cable channels and cutting off Huvu.

    All complaints are to be directed to 'Telstra', which I've been assured is Australian for 'Know Your Place, You Filthy Peasant'.

  16. Re:Put another liberty on the barbie... on Australian Government To Widen Spy Agency Powers, Again · · Score: 1

    We have a right to silence from English Common Law. We have no enshrined freedom of speech. We do have a concept of illegal search and seizure (ASIO and the AFP have been involved in a number of procedural gaffes).

    Outside of legislation, we have common law. The problem with these common law 'rights' is that applying them is a matter of finding precedent. This relies on a diligent judiciary or it breeds inconsistency. With no overarching documents in some areas, there is no central point of reference and sometimes it's simply a matter of digging deeper or finding a decision from a superior court.

    There is greater flexibility, but the obvious price is that there's greater flexibility. Some of our judges are frightfully stupid.

    We're talking about SIM cards, dear Anonymous Coward, not iPhones.

  20. Re:It's not the size, it's the thickness on Apple Proposes Smaller SIM Card Design · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Dear Apple,

    Shrink things that an everyday user will never handle.

    Sincerely, Users

  24. Re:What protects your social identity? on Who Owns Your Social Identity? · · Score: 1

    That's ridiculous. Because every knows that even if the other two are imaginary, there are, in fact, a few vigilante superheroes.

    You find me one with 'super' powers that would defend Axman13 and I'll agree.

  25. What protects your social identity? on Who Owns Your Social Identity? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why, the same thing that protects you if someone steals your identity in the real world.

    Unicorns, vigilante superheroes and the goodwill of corporations like Mastercard - all in equal measure.
