Calling it open source is a bit dirty. The data slurping part is, but their stuff on the other end is completely proprietary and paid.

"The policy which was issued today was poorly worded and incorrectly indicated that the Coalition supported an “opt out” system of internet filtering for both mobile and fixed line services. That is not our policy and never has been.

I certainly didn't have $250 in that account, which of course added a $50 overdraft fee. One would assume that they didn't spend all their money at once, so paypal would be able to suck back at least some of it.

They've withdrawn that, claiming it was "poorly worded". It's apparently an opt-in filter now. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-09-05/no-internet-filter-say... Though in reality we still have th

Well not exactly. Recently I sold a bunch of hardware on eBay. Took photos of it being packaged, photos of it at the post office, added express shipping and a tracking number. The tracking number says delivered, so I withdrew the funds back

"The Coalition said it would work with mobile phone operators to install the filters onto handsets." Yeah, that's going to happen.

Threatening? We already have a mandatory filter[0] with no auditing of the ban list, and a government who gives full NSA access to all our data. [0]: Includes child porn and "morally offensive" sites, whatever that means.

We are, but their privacy laws have absolutely no bearing on Australia. At the moment the only control the queen has is the ability to indirectly act through a Govener General who can disband the current government at will. That's neve

People go a bit further in Australia. I've heard many different peoples stories of timing (you push it and hold for 7 seconds) or repetition (12 presses and it'll change right now). Complete nonsense of course, but it's amusi

That is, computer running the sign on the front of the store pulls data from here, and you've completely broken it because now the page loads a second time before it can finish drawing the screen. It /needs/ that delay on the

You certainly do for Authy, I was apparently wrong about Duo. http://i.imgur.com/dY1zWUe.png

I seem to have recalled that one wrong then, or they've changed their service since I last saw it.

You missed a big one there. Mobile devices that are not cloud-synced can be accessed by their respective vendors Essentially; iOS and Android have a remote backdoor available to the US government.

I'm not sure that's true of all enlargers. The one I used in school was quite dim; the brightness of my iPhone screen would definitely out power it.

Seems to boot fine in qemu if anybody would like to have a quick play with it, though it's fairly useless until I figure out how the network adaptor works.

You can never, ever be assured that a message has been deleted. There's always packet sniffing, a modified client, even just taking a screen dump. It requires trust in the participant. Recently I read a whitepaper where a security test

I've read most of this persons posts and have played with his operating system a little. I feel so sorry for them that their brilliant mind is caught up in noise. There's an enormous amount of insight in his posts.

I don't think it is in Australia at least. Simply collecting such data and making it available isn't illegal; only creative works are under copyright. We've had cases with the phone book being reproduced, and this understandi
