  1. Re:I guess it's true...The night income died. on IRS Eyeballing Virtual World Tax Policies · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    In australia 40% of people effectively pay no tax i.e they recieve more than they pay in govt allowances. I can't see that being sustainable.

  2. It's not supposed to work... on Security Flaws In Aussie Net Filter Exposed · · Score: 1

    Funding technical problems with it is not going to help. It's not a technical solution, it's a political solution.
     

  3. Re:Experiance on IT Job Without a Degree? · · Score: 1

    They must be the same ones that I see. It takes them a while to realise that "I like playing networked computer games" is not the same thing as "I'd like to work on computer networks".

    Fuck knows what they do after they realise the problem. I'm thinking MBA...

  8. Re:Oh, good. on Sprint Cuts Cogent Off the Internet · · Score: 1

    Agreed on that one. If you are going to complain, just stick to the facts.

  9. Re:Yes you're right on People Prefer Angry-Faced Cars · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, we recently had a survey of 20 people make the national newspaper with findings about racism and integration issues regarding the Muslim community.

    I suppose a slow news day combined with slowing sales might help.

  10. Re:i've noticed a lot on CA Legislature Torpedoes IT Overtime · · Score: 1

    What IS it with special forces and Anarcho-syndicalism? Maybe it's the guns...

  11. I can't wait. on China Announces Launch-Success Details — Before Launch · · Score: 5, Funny

    It looks like we'll be seeing $2 time machines imported from China any day now....

  12. Wrong topic... on Microsoft To Announce Jerry Seinfeld Ads Cancelled · · Score: 0, Troll

    I read this and thought we were still talking about the US dumping it's IT waste overseas. So now we can look forward to seeing these ads on Indian television? Although I probably would pay to see a bollywood version.

  13. Applications? on CIA, FBI Push Social Networking for Spies · · Score: 1

    Will they be able to compete with the Naughty Meter and send Karma to each other? Will there be a friends group for Gitmo?

    Please live a LONG way from me...

  16. Not the point anymore... on TSA Bans Flight If You Refuse To Show ID · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There are thousands of people who get paid to make us safer from terrorists. I don't think they will be reducing the perceived risk any time soon. Announcements like this keep the terrorist threat in the news and make it look like they are doing something for their money.

  17. Re:And on the plus side. of plus-size.. on Fat People Cause Global Warming, Higher Food Prices · · Score: 1

    Diet and excercise only woks 5% of the time? Then where are all the fat people in the photos from Belsen?

  18. Re:Well... on Einstein Letter Goes on Sale · · Score: 1

    Well.... I've got a BA in Religion and Philosophy as well as my IT degree and I don't believe in a personal god either.

    I did the arts degree because I like hippie chicks. If you want to catch fish, you go where the fish are.

  19. Might as well get used to it..... on Taser International Wins Lawsuit to Change Cause of Death · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Over here (aus) tasers and MACE sprays are the new thing. Suddenly every police force needs them to handle drug crazed people.

    I'm sure it's got nothing to do with the push for middle aged women and people of random ethnic backrounds to become police officers. Apparently the police force should reflect society. If that means a 45 year old, 5 foot tall woman needs a taser when she confronts a fight at a bar, then that's ok.

    Apparently..

    "Who, exactly?"

    Everyone who doesn't agree with him, of course. That's the way rants work,

    Hate to do it unreferenced, but....

    Isn't the high oil price good for US oil producers because more marginal fields can be made to pay?

    High fuel prices aren't bad for everybody.
