Comment tax time (Score 2) 139

Maybe the Australian Carbon Tax which is suposed to offset climate change effects be passed on to the Chinese since if this program goes full scale day to day operation they will efectively be responsible for the weather in other countries :) :) I mean i read a butterfly farting in Brazil causes thunderstorms in Jakarta some sort of chaos theory effect. So TAX THE CHINESE!!!

Comment bring it on. (Score 1) 196

How annoying do you find cyclist couriers in the city dodging traffic and causing accidents all while risking their lives. Now drone courier system would be super cool will reduce cyclist traffic and wont clutter the airways with nonsensical chatter between buddy couriers talking about what they had to lunch or what that busty receptionist at the legal aid office was wearing today. If a drone can carry a missle payload then it can easily carry a bunch of documents and moreso will have direct line express route across the city. Drone pizza takeaway service? pay online by credit card and the drone will paradrop a pizza to your door. no it wont land so you can steal it nor give you change. i expect cash to die out and everything to be paid by plastic in my future world :) :) :) for added protection the drone can carry a missile JUST IN CASE... if you somehow made special landing/hookup mail boxes mandatory for all household your post office can deliver the letters via drones. :)

Comment Open Your Eyes (Score 1) 392

nanny, disensetised sad state of world we live in when LOOKING is not enough and we need sonar pings, violent screecher noisemakers to tell us a car is on the road. WTF?? ROAD= Car's Domain. Sidewalk = Pedestrian domain. So if I have to make sure a driveway is clear and safe to drive on why cant pedestrians OPEN their eyes when entering MY CAR'S domain. I mean my subwoofer can give a run for the money of any industrial airhorn mounted on trucks so I don need noisemakers but maybe thats the solution. Equip all electro-pissant hybrids with awesome amps and subs and quality sound system and you wont need noisemaker devices. But if you die because you crossed the road in front of an electric car that you DIDINT HEAR. Well thats just natures way of culling the gene pool. :)

Comment hypocricy (Score 2, Insightful) 695

people supporting this nonsence under the umbrella story of "save the planet" are so full of it. We are not doing this for the planet. They say we are protecting the planet and all these green stuff is for its benefit. Australia now has stupid carbon tax starting next July because of it. and what for. Save and protect the planet? I dont think so. We are doing this to save ourselves. The planet is self sustainable. What we trully fear is the planet itself whose methods of self restoration involve violent climates not suitable for most humans. ice age, volcanic eruptions all over, tectonic shifting. Recent earth quakes in turkey, the tsunamis in japan, indonesia few years back even thailand all these events are so powerfull I doubt the planet has anything to worry about minor CO2 in the athmosphere. it will fix itself. we may not be here when it finaly sorts the problem out but it will at least prove that it did not need saving by humans. we are just hypocrits finding excuses. The simple thing is we just want to save humanity not the planet.

Comment Re:What about the second shot? (Score 1) 161

Never mind the 2nd shot. The force of the 1st shot will be coming to you body if you held out the clipboard to protect you in a typical fashiion pushing forward the 2 thumbs are behind the clipboard and the force of the shot is coming to you. So BULLET------->|clipboard| -------thumb...i doubt the thumbs can sustain the kinetic energy of the bullet. i think something is gonna give and it will mot likely be bone, tissue or ligament or a combination. so the pain will likely render you more helpless than if you just dropped to kneeling while pulled your own gun and shoot back. oh and once the clipboard is disloged from your grip it will most likely try to follow the direction of the bullet and come kiss you as well. my cousin does bodyguard work and he reckons by dropping to your knee while pulling your gun increases your odds of survival by a huge amount especially if you manage to get your shot off while transitioning/shooting from the hip and not waiting to get sight picture. relying on a clipboard to protect you is like fortfeiting your life to the perp.

Bad things are always wrapped in colourfull nice emotion driven packages.

So a keylogger tells you when its time to take a break. My brain does the same when it feels pain from the sensors in my hand.

What these keyloggers will most likely be used is for staff performance. if your APM suffers you may lose your job as you are no longer in the pro league :) :)

he is an idiot. plain and simple. its what happens when your parents disalow you and confiscate all your porn when you are a kid and you are bitter at the world who is more free in that respect. so once in power he wants to stop porn on a grand scale. not knowing a single thing about how computers work and how easy is to bypass a filter he got few small ISPs to participate in a "national filter pilot". out of teh 6 only 1 was a big ISP and it pulled out early and did not endorse the filter. Its like going down to the park and asking the 10 year old kids basketball team to sign of on a $50 salary cap and applying it on the professional basketballers in that country. RETARD... but as to the OP. I think these powers are nothign more but enabling the polie to hook into pedofiles intering the country if they dont know any better. They will not likely ever execute these power of going through the full 1TB or more of data and sifting through all the files and anyone that has ever had people use their computer knows how to conceal his porn effectively. they will not do it on the average joe blogs. However when they get an alert from say a thailand or vietnam etc that a suspected pedo is on the next incoming flight to sydney the Federal police will use the customs to get into the laptop of the pedo and then potentialy be able to arrest and prosecute him. if they dont find anything they will most likely piss him off by having him delayed so much that he may lose his cool and get arrested for other things :) also the more time his mates spend waiting for him at the airport means they are paying alot more than $12.50 per half hour for the parking. not to mention his mate may be a pedo too so if he gets agitated he may be pulled in for questioning too. However. Few years back they busted a massive pedo ring and this stretched from every high rank in almsot all circles to your local garbo. very sophysticated methods of concealing, some crazy ways for becoming a member and preety much run tight and secretive for many years. Details elude me but it had something to do with a slip that happened at one airport that helped break the case(s). so yea. its more of an extended tool for the AFP than customs interested in your porn. hmm how do u edit these paragraphs. this thing looks like them WALL-O-TEXT-CRITS-YOU-FOR-OVER-90000 posts.

Comment Protect your fish. (Score 1) 255

I doubt there is a way of knowing what you ask. That requires clarevoyance. If its present threat most anti viral software or resident shields will know about it. Just use them and let them run a full system check. I use TeaTimer that comes with Spybot S&D and never had any permanent problems. Its bit cumbersome on resources but how much is your safety worth vs the advantage of getting an extra 2-5FPS on your favourite game??? Dont feed people fish. Teach them how to protect their fish and not reel in infected fish just because the Sirens offered them. :) :)
