But that's not the point. That's an argument about drug laws in general.

Hardly a ridiculous law. It would be ridiculous if you could evade the law by making trivial changes to chemical composition, which is what was happening before the law was amended.

I'm glad notepad.exe has avoided the modernisation trends in other Windows utilities. I wonder if there was ever a push to have a UWP replacement implemented. If so, I'm thankful to whoever knocked it back.

I've generally found app stores aside from the Apple App Store and Google Play to be undesirable essentially for this reason. They don't seem to adequately scrutinise whether someone should be permitted to publish a particular ap

Is it too late for any significant improvements to email? It seems like, to our lament, we're headed in the direction of proprietary instant chat services and protocols. Also, you can't overlook that a significant number of people

Password length isn't necessarily cause for concern in this context. See: https://www.troyhunt.com/banks-arbitrary-password-restrictio... As for MFA, the only Australian bank that seems to do it right is Macquarie (who

It shows why we need to rapidly embrace the idea that knowledge of an ID document number and its associated personal details is insufficient proof of identity.

Today is a one-off national public holiday in Australia to mourn the loss of the Queen. I'd be curious to know when this attack started and whether it coincided with the public holiday by chance or by choice.

Have you seen Richard Ayoade's other work? I can't agree with you there. His appearances on 8 out of 10 cats are hilarious. To be fair, I'm sure if Richard Ayoade were here, his response would be you are plainly incorrect in

If I were one of the internal tools programmers, I wouldn't be "extremely disappointed" by this leak... I'm seriously impressed by the quality of the internal tooling. All that effort only to be seen and used internally.

Correct, but it's probably not necessary to permanently lock someone out. All that is needed is a significant delay. You could just block access and say "come back in 28 days". In the meantime, warning SMS and email messages

I know it's not the case, but I really like the thought of the Apple.com website being powered by a version of macOS with a built-in Apache web server.

Quite simple, really. Make the account private and tweet every possible death date in a reasonable timeframe. Then, upon the Queen's death, delete the incorrect tweets and make the account public. I imagine in a few days this account,

Most companies (and banks) seem to manage alright, without their apps breaking, or their customers being given inane advice. Or is this not your experience?

The Australian High Court is generally not partisan or political. The Justices are not generally predictable in their rulings, unlike in the US. So, if you're right that it's an archaeic view, I wouldn't put that down to poli

That's kind of trivialising it. It's usually more complicated than dropping scripts on instances. Unless you're doing something very simple, there's a lot of wheel-reinvention involved in writing your own scripts when th

Nitpick I know, but (1) is a false statement of fact. It's not defamatory to say something which, while harmful of another's reputation, is true.

What you're missing is that "One China" is now a mere diplomatic fiction. The only reason the US and Taiwan insist on it is to avoid unnecessary escalation with China. But, as a matter of fact, Taiwan is a completely independ

As a non-American, I find Google's location awareness is already unmatched. It's what keeps me using Google over the alternatives. Googling a thing (business, place, location) near my house will give it as the first search result.

The US Constitution is not much to be jealous about. In Australia, if people are unhappy with laws, they can change the government, who in turn can change the laws. Meanwhile, in the US, the validity of laws is decided based upon the views

I tend to agree. And in terms of being used for DDoS attacks etc., that's really an issue that needs to be addressed by ISPs, who supply routers to the vast majority of non-technical home users. ISPs should be setting appropriate defa

A party applies for summary judgment to be entered when, speaking in very general terms, the other side's case is not reasonably arguable. That is, no reasonable jury/judge could find for the other party. It doesn't have anyt

Thanks this is a great answer. So are the others, I think I poorly expressed my initial post. I use Linux on the desktop myself. I can't justify the price, so I don't use Mac. But if my employer gave me a choice in the matter, I&#

Out of curiosity, why would a Googler elect to use a Linux based workstation as opposed to a macOS workstation? Are they testing Linux binaries? Developing kernel extensions? Linux build tools? macOS offers such a superior desktop experienc
