Comment Bad timing (Score 1) 228

"1,000 current college students that have student loan debt were surveyed on the single question discussed in this article. Pollfish conducted this survey on behalf of The Student Loan Report. The survey began on March 16, 2018 and finished collecting results on March 20, 2018. "

Probably the worst time to trade at the moment. If you are going to do it, do it on an up-trend :)

Comment Tinfoil suspect level 10000 (Score 1) 74

Correct me if i'm wrong. But shouldn't a main stream browser like firefox be using something that actually could be considered even remotely secure for the mother password of all your other passwords? It sounds almost intentional, if not exceedingly negligent. And after nine years and it's now only coming to light? Something doesn't sound right.

Comment Not good for government credibility (Score 5, Insightful) 144

It's not very reassuring when the investigators in such a case are themselves blatantly breaking the law to serve themselves. It makes you wonder about the other government agencies and employees looking at things such as all the mass collected survelance materials and wondering how they can use their position to their own personal benefit. Contrary of course to what the government says will never happen. I don't feel like there is much integrity. Having said that at least they got caught even though after the fact.

Comment Re:Because so much content is made in Aus (Score 4, Interesting) 58

"Funny how the goverment wants to slash their funding" -> Sadly Rupert gets what Rupert wants. Far too much of the current policy comes from a handfull of extemely wealthy business men/women. Gina Rinehart, a close friend to Tony, is another classic example and now the current government is kicking the indigenous (aboriginals, etc) off their own land and forcedly shutting down their communities for the mining companies. It's truely shocking. It's like Australia has gone back 200 years to when it was first colonised by the Europians. Fitting since Tony Abbott is actually English!

Comment Because so much content is made in Aus (Score 3, Interesting) 58

I've never understood why the Aus goverment would care given that almost all the content pirated is from overseas giving no financial benefits to the country. But I guess with the current governments relationship with media mogul Murdock who practically got them elected they must continue dance for the man (reference: image search "lets kick this mob out").

I see this only meaning the goverments popularity (24% in Feb) will continue to slide down while VPN services skyrocket. Sounds like a winning plan.

Submission + - Convicted fraud prisoner uses mobile to email forged release forms, gets out (bbc.co.uk) 1

kaptink writes: Prisoner Neil Moore who was serving time in Wansworth (UK) had escaped by tricking prison officers in to releasing him by using a smuggled mobile phone to set up a fake email account posing as a senior court clerk. He then emailed forged release papers to the prison and was subsequently released. His deception was uncovered when solicitors went to interview him three days later, only to find him gone. He then handed himself in three days later.
