  Re: Re:

  I agree with them being as bad as each other but the LNP has a sense that THEY are the natural rulers with much input from their donours and corporate masters.

  I still believe that it was a giant stuff up by a combination of the government, ABS and IBM. But being the LNP, who feel they rule by divine right, can never, never, never do any wrong. It's always someone else's fault. Actually I'm surprised they haven't blamed Labor for their negative waves to paraphrase Oddball) causing the crash.

  Some time last night the ABS site crashed and was down for hours. They blamed naughty overseas hackers DDos/Dos'ing them. Funnily enough people did some checking and couldn't find any of what they said happening. They blamed these unknown attackers for their fuck up! What a surprise.

  Re: TPP or Toilet Paper?

  I wouldn't use the TPP as toilet paper if I was you there's probably a secret clause in it that will put you up in front of the AWDS committee. Oh yes AWDS stands for Arse Wiping Disgusting, Sue'em.

  How bloody petty, childish and Erdoganish!

  Putin is making the old Soviet Union look like a democracy.

• On the post: Verizon 'Competes' With T-Mobile By Raising Prices, Then Denying It's A Price Hike

  

  Kronomex ( profile ), 07 Jul, 2016 @ 04:32pm

  In Australia this would be known as a Claytons price hike (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claytons) as in, "The price hike you are having when you're not having a price hike." Greed by any other name.

  Re:

  Log into Tor and a questionnaire will pop up:
  Are you a good person or a bad person? Press 1 for good and 2 for bad. Thank you for being part of this survey.

• On the post: American Copyright Trolls Continue To Abuse Canadian Courts In Search Of Easy Settlements

  

  Kronomex ( profile ), 06 Jul, 2016 @ 05:59pm

  I've seen a whole six Voltage Pictures films and four of them turned out to be crap. Survival of the Dead and A Fantastic Fear of Everything weren't bad (thank goodness for rental DVD shops) but don't rate more than one viewing. It's no wonder they have to resort to trolling to make money to recoup the losses made on their other rubbish.

• On the post: Mike Huckabee Settles For Five Figures With Survivor Over Copyright Infringement

  

  Kronomex ( profile ), 06 Jul, 2016 @ 05:49pm

  If Huckabee puts his bank book under his pillow the mysterious spook in the sky will put the $25,000 back in his account overnight. And put a little extra in as well for lost interest.

  Erdogan has gone from being a ridiculous vain little man to plain crazy. Mad as a cut snake.

• On the post: Australian Electoral Commission Refuses To Allow Researchers To Check E-Voting Software

  

  Kronomex ( profile ), 17 Jun, 2016 @ 04:37pm

  Of course they aren't going to allow researchers access to the software. Can you imagine what would happen if they discovered discrepancies that could allow fraud to occur on behalf of the ruling elite? "Trust us, there's nothing here. Move on. Move on."

  This whole situation smacks more of not enough kickbacks and brown envelopes going to the right people.

• On the post: Corporate Sovereignty Finally Enters The Political Mainstream

  

  Kronomex ( profile ), 14 Jun, 2016 @ 09:38pm

  Corporate lobbyists would lean on LNP Lite and after a while the whole thing about ISDS would be quietly swept under the carpet.

  Trump believes in nobody but Trump. Will he get elected as President? I'll be very surprised if he does.

  Invest in fingerprint technology that allows only the original purchaser to read the paper. When they finish it and leave it in a coffee shop or train or some such place another person finds it and the paper self combusts after scanning and finding that the prints do not match. Or, better yet, hire hundreds of people to go around looking for abandoned newspapers and removing them so they can't be read again by a non-paying reader.

  Kronomex ( profile ), 13 Jun, 2016 @ 05:12pm

  Easily solved, AMC and HBO should demand that all prediction and review articles be sent to their prospective Whining and Complaining Departments for vetting and redacting.
