So the Australian government opted to host this thing on their own servers
Where did you get that from?
You must be new here. On Slashdot, you don't need to be right, you just have to sound right to get mod points.
I see you went for the other strategy, which is to accuse other people of making stuff up because you are yourself too lazy to even read TFA.
You must be new here. On Slashdot we don't read TFA before posting
it would be an interesting turn for endless homebrew encryption and subterfuge networks to begin quagmiring these ineffective surveillance networks even further.
Zl rapelcgvba vf orggre guna lbhe rapelcgvba!
And this is exactly why the general public needs encryption and why various TLA outfits and buddies like to use the "think of the children" garbage to denounce it.
Rubbish. If you've nothing to hide... you aren't a protestor... you keep your head down... do what the government tells you... aren't unlucky enough to get caught in a wide sweeping dragnet... then you have no need for encryption or privacy!
No, what AC was pointing out was that a mere 100 years ago, people made sweeping statements like "no one in our lifetime will ever fly".
They were bloody stupid if they did say that considering people had been flying for well over a century before that and in aeroplanes for 13 years!
It's okay, it isn't like anyone ever tells the truth on the damn thing.
According to it, this time, I have changed my religion from Jedi to Sith.
I don't know about Australia. In the UK, the whole point of the Jedi thing was to point out that the only part of the census that was optional and didn't need to be truthful was the religion question

I don't know when the first emojis were used, but I remember them in the early '90s. Emotion-icons, emoticons, were tags to express emotions over the emotionless text.
What you're describing are emoticons. AFAIK, emoji's originated later from cellphones in Asia; although they're clearly inspired by emoticons.
With regards to the OP and his obsession with bandwidth, emojis use less bytes than a lot of emoticons...

Good catch.
By writing "Good catch", you suggest that you don't often make such errors. May I suggest you read up on the difference between the words effect and affect? Once you have done that: Re-read your Colonel Sanders post and ask yourself whether you made the right choice in that instance.
If I was dead, the first thing I'd do is get someone to tweet to say I was alive in order to cover up the fact! This is blatently a conspiracy!!!!
Prohibit television broadcasts, too.
They're fine so long as they use Animated PNG!
And no I don't think kids and Pokemon Go go hand in hand
Well there are more adults around than their are kids, but to say kids don't make up a sizeable portion of the players would be inaccurate. Admittedly most of my friends are adults, so most of my friends that play Pokemon Go are adults, but that's selection bias! I see plenty of kids playing it at the mall or in the park.
I don't see the connection of Pokemon Go and kids and sex offenders.
I go running in the park, I sometimes see kids playing it in groups. I usually give them a friendly hello and ask them if they've caught any yet as I pass. It's not inconceivable that a sex offender could strike up a more meaningful conversation, so I can see some kind of connection.
Obviously this legislation would be ridiculous, practically uneforcable and there's much better areas they could be focussing on. However, I can kind of see where they're coming from even if it is a bit of a kneejerk "think of the children" reaction.
my UA gives, among others: 1) exact version of the (Mac) OS a.b.c, 2) exact version of chrome a.b.c.d which is IMO too much info. The OS and Chrome should be limited to 2 numbers a.b.
I would have thought that the more numbers in the version number then the more frequently it'll change which makes fingerprinting (slightly) harder over time?
Blame Canada they're not even a real country anyway.
And suspiciously, most of them can't speak Romanian either. That's proof!!
Congratulations of receiving so many responses on your post about a pet issue of yours - all from different users too - all of which have exactly the same style of grammar, spelling and punctuation as you do. Isn't that a weird coincidence
