  1. Re:Switch Ad on The Ethics of Desktop Chips Stuffed Into Laptop PCs · · Score: 1

    Actually Macs do something similar with their laptops. Have a look under the 'Energy Saver' control panel in OS 9 and OS X.

  2. Re:What about a license plate cloaking device? on Turning a Blind Eye to Big Brother · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have seen a neato system set up where a person uses a normal camera flash hooked up to a light sensor. When the flash of the speed camera goes off the camera flash attached to the car goes off too. The resulting bright light whites out the area where the number plate is.

    There are many other solutions too like special 'strips' that go over characters on your numberplate and make them invisible when not looked at straight on.

  3. Re:Interesting thing...... on Electronic Ballots In The Brazilian Presidential Election · · Score: 1

    Australians are required to vote too.

    Of course you can just say you were sick...

  4. Defamation in other Countries on Google sued as PetsWarehouse Lawsuit Continues. · · Score: 1

    Here is Western Australia not only is 'telling the truth' not a defence to defamation, but defamation is actually a crime!

    How about that! Not only can crack pots like this guy sue you, but the state can go after you!

    Of course, here we are not so law suit mad so all you would be awarded are pathetic amounts of damages like $20!

  5. What are you complaining about? on Widescreen TVs in the US? · · Score: 1

    Over here (NZ and Aussie) we don't even start to get widescreen. While shopping for a new TV, I tink I came across one fuzzy, rear projection widescreen, that was it.

    We better get it soon, i like it much better.

  6. Re:perceptions, and random bliterings. on New iMac Rolled Out · · Score: 1

    Well said. Apple are definitely getting it right. It took 4 hours to set up a network of G4's out of the box with file and print sharing. Sure, you could have run a linux server and countless other "better" expansions, but the simplicity won out. Go Jobs.
