  1. Re:p0rn is a problem: just not for horny geeks on Some Of Australia's Tubes Are About To Be Filtered · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Filters seem to be either fall on false positives or ineffective. Working for Ed Queensland, and sites that are definitely safe are blocked. I've been to sites that (IT research) that had inappropriate (for children) ads.

      The balance required is too fine to be practical for anything other than the one in your head.

    The auto-photo system that Australian (Qld?) taxi's have would work for this. Basically all angles including approach of doors of the vehicle are covered and snapped every 3-5 seconds. Nothing reported, no one sees the video. Holds 48 hours of data (easy enough to get more), unless there is a report/emergency button push activated. Then it is stored for up to 5 days.

    Is there any reason one couldn't have it called to your front door? That seems to be most people's (other than you Sir Toe, The) sticking point. Instead of buying a $18k+ car you buy ~$1k controller.

    There is the problem of changing to this type of transport; no one wants to be first as it won't go everywhere.

    I don't understand why it can't be coupled with the light post and reflectors we have around our streets now. Each device gets its own number, (encrypted, ipv6 perhaps?) which is held correlates to a central map server. Pranksters could change the poles/reflectors/posts around, but they would have to change every one for x distance to fool the vehicle. New developments and upgrades give preference to these systems till you need to have an exception to drive on the public roads without a computerised driver. (I'm thinking delivery vehicles, emergency services.)

    Damn it Rudd! Spend our investments on this! not on painting schools!

    How exactly do they achieve this? do they send a cd out to Mr/Ms Public? I can't imagine they could just "apt-get upgrade Professional" and pop their CC details into to the pretty pop up...
