  1. Re:Telex will not work in the US on Telex Would Work, But Is It Overkill? · · Score: 1

    Yes it will. US citizens just need to access sites in a country with a high density of Telex capable routers.

  2. Re:In Soviet Russia... on Moscow Has Eyes On WikiLeaks, Too · · Score: 1

    They already have released an "insurance" torrent: https://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5723136/WikiLeaks_insurance Assumedly, if anything happens to Assange then someone will release the key to decrypt it.

  3. Re:This path leads to the dark side... on New Zealand Introduces Internet Filtering · · Score: 1

    The FAQ is independently written by my flatmate, not by the people actually running the scheme. Thus (I'm guessing) that the answer to this question is just his analysis of the situation.

  4. Re:Interesting technical details on New Zealand Introduces Internet Filtering · · Score: 1

    Major whoops. Not only do they admit it's easy to get around it, they helpfully give you the name of three services to use.

    Those details are given by the writer of the FAQ who isn't affiliated with the scheme.

  5. Re:I've never understood on New Zealand Introduces Internet Filtering · · Score: 1

    Yeah, except they just tried to put this system in place with barely a blip on the public radar. Most normal people had no idea the internet was under a filtering test.

  6. Re:The next generation on New Worm Chats with Users on AIM · · Score: 1

    The funny thing is, this is just what hackers used to do, AKA social engineering. I guess crackers know that as a lone person they can only do so much damage, they need to start replicating their thought processes to run distributed and automated to do anything serious.

  7. Re:Good for casual use; not for serious research on Nitpicking Wikipedia's Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    Regarding the difficulty in checking citations - I feel looking through the versioning history far easier than trying to track down obscure 50 year old books on a particular field, or trying to track down a journal article from 20 years that hasn't been made electronic yet.

  8. Re:How do tech-savvy people use it? Not at all. on Nitpicking Wikipedia's Vulnerabilities · · Score: 2, Informative

    So... why don't you edit the article yourself if it is wrong instead of complaining?

  9. Re:Legal downloads suck on UK Record Companies Suing File Sharers · · Score: 1

    I doubt it. New musical styles are always being created and music often reflects the culture at the time. I'm still exploring new genres, and new albums still enthral me. Having said that, time seems to be less of an issue - I'll discover some group that has been around for 15 years and become obsessed over them until I've worn their discography out and then jump to another period of time. Besides, some might consider the Rolling Stones a fad ;P

  10. Re:What about Wi-Fi networks? on Can Cell Phones Damage Our Eyes? · · Score: 1

    Well, everyone says not to put the access point next to your head, but what about wireless notebooks and having them sitting on your lap?

    Being that meiosis (the process by which sperm is made) is sensitive and prone to errors anyway, we could have mutant babies as a result.
