LOL WHAT? Poor guy, completely screw up by his parents
City of Sydney to introduce homophobia-free zones →
I have issue with this. When people start focusing on the rights of particular groups of people instead of the rights of people as a whole, people in other groups get their rights ignored.
GROCERYchoice - GROCERYchoice →
WTF? This site cost Australian taxpayers $13m to set up and it only gives an extremely vague price comparision between 3 supermarket chains based on some unspecifed ‘basket of stuff’ amount of purchased groceries.
This information is completely useless. They should have just given the 13 milllion to me and I could have made them the site over night. This is why governments should have...
Obesity state offers $1m fat-buster reward |... →
Ok, so heres the plan. Since these people apparently don’t want to be obesity but also don’t want to do anything about it themselves, we’ll just attach mind control probes to their brains and make them do it. How else do you got people to do things they apparently want to do but refuse to do?

I want that when I die, I also want everyone to wear funny hats.
Code on the Road: Windows Search gets worse! →
Code on the Road: Windows Search gets worse! I had the same problem as this guy. I couldn’t find an ‘index this folder’ thing anywhere, the only solution is to wait for the Windows search indexer…

knittaplease →
“Knitta began in August 2005, when the soon-to-be-Knittas were discussing their frustration over unfinished knitting projects: half-knitted sweaters and balls of yarn gathering dust. That afternoon, they knit their first door handle.”
Thought: When I think about programming language design I always seem to re-create parts of haskell. Maybe I should learn haskell.

She makes a good point.
OMG I had it once in England (They eat it there too btw) and it was positively revolting.
I reckon people don’t like vegimite because they expect it to be something it’s not. It’s a saviour flavour best mixed with a lot of butter(as this compliments the salty...
Sniffing girls expelled Pymble' Ladies College →
“Pymble Ladies’ College principal Vicki Waters said yesterday that the college “takes seriously any issue that has the potential to harm the health and well-being of its students”“
Interesting as they don’t seem to have taken it seriously at all, they have just avoided and distanced themselves from the issue entirely.

Mozilla SSL policy bad for the Web →
“SSL has two effects: First, it allows connections to be encrypted so they can’t be snooped. Second, it allows sites to be authenticated so they can’t be impersonated.”
No, they are the same thing. Encryption is useless unless you can gurantee that the public key you are using to encrypt your data is actually the public key of the trusted party you are trying to communicate with. Self...

Digital Domain - Goodbye, Passwords. You Aren’t a... →
Passwords aren’t really that bad. The good thing about passwords is that you can seperate access to services by having different passwords for each service. The problem with any kind of Single Sign On system especially one that involves certificates is that when you login to your email at that internet cafe you’ve now given the admin of that computer access to every other service that...
