Comment Check Kraken and 'darkroom' (Score 1) 385

http://krakenbenchmark.mozilla.org

As is often the case benchmarks don't tell the whole story.

If you run Kracken and compare the results with Google (I'm using FF4 b9pre Minefield)

Now look specifically at the score for digital darkroom (image manipulation)

darkroom: 6.07x as fast Chrome - 1705.3ms +/- 1.6% Firefox - 281.1ms +/- 0.7% significant

Now click on the hyper link and check the actual test and try image rotation. Behold Chrome fails to remove the original image and rotates the new image over the top of the original. So not only is FF 6X faster it also works.

Government Issued ID... WTF... Who is that being passed onto? A student email and a credit card are NOT enough?

You would have rocks in your head to participate in Facebook from China under those conditions.

Obviously the characters lacked sex appeal. What's the point in watching science fiction unless every character is so hot that you feel horny or so evil that you want to be an alien killer. Or evil, sexy and a shape-changer.

Fricken Murdock and his pay wall. I'm not about to log in just quickly review one post.

Add the fact that the Australian Labor government who were once the champion of rights are happy to see Julian hang and the insistence on a laudatory internet filter and we need to have a riot in this country to get out rights back NOW.

"PayPal's move is unlikely to result in many more people boycotting the company, as most knowledgeable on-line users will have been refusing to use them for years for a wide variety of abusive practices"

That maybe true but Paypal remains the easy way to cover your butt if you make a purchase on ebay. There is room for more 'sufferage' at Paypal.

Comment Re:Democrats loved the Pentagon Papers (Score 1) 833

Leak like a sieve, democracy should be 110% transparent or it is NOT democracy.

That said what is leaked and why is another issue. The process is subject to flaws.

1. It is possible to deliberately leak material to Wikileaks that benefits certain parties. Clearly leaking material that suggest everyone is pro-bombing Iran and that Arabs favor Israel over Iran is of benefit to the cause of Zionism.

2. Overloading Wikileaks with crap creates a 'diffusion and dilution' effect of what matters. Prosecutors use this technique to overwhelming the limited resources of a defense team.

3. Wikileaks have an established credibility, this can be used by people with an agenda.

4. Judge the material in concert with people on the ground in a specific county or at least with intellectual skepticism.

Comment All the important points here are being missed. (Score 1) 100

Surely you guys read most of the slashdot articles? By 2040 at current rate of the expansion of internet services 50% of all the world's electricity will be devoted to the internet. The solution to this is optical routers which are < 10 years off.

What is costing the cash here is the laying of optical cable with a lifespan of over 100 years. Leaving the copper cable in the ground just isn't an option as it has a lifespan too.

The NBN is buying Telstra's old network to turn it off, mostly. The business case for NBN achieves a 70+% return WITHOUT factoring in the added benefits from high speed internet. Without considering that the move to optical routers is an essential to the future of the internet.

What we know for sure it that this is worth it. It removers the copper network and the microwave links. What would you rather manage, a networks of fiber, fiber/copper, copper and microwaves or a unified fiber network?

Comment Quotes from Facebook... (Score 1) 496

I think this is a terrible outcome as it plays into the hands of a group of people on Facebook that are trying their best to demonize every Muslim, Palestinian and Arab.

Let me give you some direct quotes from the Facebook conversations...

Loving Zion -- "Palestine" represents a hell to Israel. The Devil himself conceived a plan in the heart of the seed of Esau and Ishmael to be contrary to G-D's holy plan for Jacob's seed!

Ramona Antiisrahell Lambardo -- G-d said thou shalt not kill but Chairman Heilbrun of the Committe for the Re-election of General Shlomo Lahat, the mayor of Tel Aviv, October 1983 said, 'We have to kill all the Palestinians unless they are resigned to live here as slaves' .

Jsh Zion -- Right now Zionism feels the heat of hell at it's borders and even in it's midst in Gaza, Samaria, Judea, and from all those here that spew rage and filth from the depths of their beings. You see you all live with a delusion that you can say whatever you want and that there is no such thing as hell when you die, but I ...am here to say otherwise. Martin, you are a filthy rotten anti-semite who will regret every word you have uttered for their is G-D!

Darcy Abernathy -- true the only way to truely be holy and righteous in islam is to blow your own ass up and take innocents with you...fucked up people.

Be aware of how many Palestinians have been dispossess and forced out of Israel. Particularly intellectuals. Be aware that Israel initially financed HAMAS as a way to destabilize Palestinian politics.

This will most definitely be a story that is used to further disempower Palestinians and claim Israel is an angel. Israel is NO angel, Israel is involved in ethnic cleansing and will use anything they can grab to justify that.

Comment IDF PR as fake concern for our wellbeing (Score 1) 642

"When I served as a military policeman in an Israeli army prison."

Would we actually be submitting to anything at airports if the Zionists hadn't upset the whole Arab and Muslim world? Was not the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem by the Zionists the first major terrorist incident in the world? If the Israelis hadn't spent the last 62 years terrorizing the Arabs, lying to the world, building illegal nuclear reactors for the sole purpose of producing weapons, disrespecting the UN and the ICC, didn't engage in blowing the crap out of Gaza, didn't insight the US to bomb Iraq etc etc... isn't it about 99% likely that none of this would be necessary, that terrorism would not have become the only means left to grab world attention.

Stuff Israel and its catalysism of terror, boycott Intel, Starbuck, Coke and the rest of the supporters of the 'God gave us this land' so we can create an apartheid state and abuse the native population team. http://www.inminds.com/boycott-israel.html

The whole world has to suffer because of a fundamentalist claim of 'God gave us this land 3,000 years ago'; loopy and insane. Jeffrey Goldberg rubs our face in a world where privacy has been stolen because of spoiled brats from the Jewish community, the ones that participate in the largely unfair imprisonment of Palestinians, something he is proud to announce he contributed to.

Internet Kills Israeli PR - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME_NpnH7jDc

Send a message to the Zionists to get off their arse, stop blaming everyone else and resolve the ongoing and appalling abuse of Palestinians which has brought us to this point in history. The way to eliminate terrorism is to eliminate the frustration that is at the core of why terrorism is practiced. Continuously beating people up with a stick is never going to make them love you.
