Microsoft Australia has released research showing that Australian families are not doing enough to monitor the internet use of their children - findings which are likely to be used by both advocates and opponents of the Federal Government's mandatory ISP-level internet filtering scheme.
The software giant surveyed 1000 Australians in an online poll and found that "more than 60 percent of parents allow their children to surf the net unsupervised and unrestricted at home."
One in five had discovered their children viewing material deemed 'unsavoury', one in three found their children had communicated with strangers, 36 percent had found their children had downloaded software without permission and 12 percent discovered their children had given out personal details.
Just as I suspected. Lazy cunt parents is one of the reasons we are getting a censored internet. Expecting the government to raise their kids. I think this is also evidence that breeding needs to be licensed in this country.

Minister Stephen Conroy has hit back at a new report listing Australia as a potential internet enemy.
Press freedom advocacy group Reporters without Borders released their Enemies of the Internet report last week, to coincide with World Day Against Cyber Censorship.
It found Australia should be kept "under surveillance" for signs that internet freedom may soon be curbed.
The Federal Government wants all internet service providers to ban Refused Classification material hosted on overseas servers.
Senator Conroy said listing Australia as a country that may be an "enemy of the internet" — alongside South Korea, Turkey and Russia — showed Reporters without Borders were seriously mislead about what Labor wanted to do.
Eat shit Conroy. You are what you are. Deal with it.

An electronics manufacturer with a history of making false environmental claims has been caught doctoring fridges to make them appear more energy efficient.
LG Electronics has agreed to compensate potentially thousands of consumers after two of its fridges - models L197NFS and P197WFS - were found to contain an illegal device that activates an energy-saving mode when it detects room conditions similar to those in a test laboratory.
The so-called circumvention device was discovered last month by the consumer advocacy group, Choice.

A man who assaulted a female police officer with his penis has been fined. Lithuanian Varinauskas admitted a charge of assault at Aberdeen Sheriff's Court and was fined £600.
Police were called to his home by his girlfriend, who had complained about him being drunk last November. They arrived to find the self-employed engineer sitting on the sofa wearing a pair of underpants.
Fiscal depute Elaine Lynch said: "The accused got to his feet and was standing over the police officer exposing his penis and thrusting it in her face, forcing her to take evasive action to avoid getting struck."
Sheriff Annella Cowan was told that the Lithuanian had now quit binge drinking because of the incident.

The US-based owner of a satirical Wikipedia-style website may be charged under Australian law over a deliberately offensive article about Aborigines.
The Australian Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission (HREOC) contacted Encyclopedia Dramatica owner Joseph Evers, after 20 indigenous Australians complained about the article's content.
Earlier this year the same article — which includes numerous offensive depictions of Aborigines — was removed from Google's search listings after a request from the Human Rights Commission.

Federal agents raided the downtown Hilo sanctuary of The Hawaii Cannabis Ministry Wednesday morning, assisted by local police.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Tom Muehleck said that no one had yet been arrested or charged in connection with the raid. Reached shortly before 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, he declined to provide other details and would not say whether THC Ministry director and founder Roger Christie had been detained.
Seems like you're allowed to abuse, brainwash and scam people in a religion, but if you believe you can find a path to God via a plant, thats a paddlin'.

A Jedi believer won an apology from a Jobcentre which threw him out for refusing to remove his hood. Star Wars fan Chris Jarvis, 31, was told he would have to leave if he did not take it down.
Chris is a member of the International Church of Jediism - based on the sci-fi films - whose doctrine states that followers should be allowed to wear hoods.

Wikileaks presents a “threat to the U.S. Army” and publishes “potentially actionable information” for targeting military personnel, according to a classified intelligence report posted Monday on the whistleblowing site.
The 32-page report entitled Wikileaks.org – An Online Reference to Foreign Intelligence Services, Insurgents, or Terrorist Groups? (.pdf) indicates the government’s concern that “current employees or moles” within the Defense Department or the U.S. government “are providing sensitive or classified information to Wikileaks.” To stop this, the 2008 report had suggested a campaign to expose and punish those who leak to the site, which was founded in 2007 by Chinese dissidents, journalists and mathematicians.
Here is the "secret" document.

Award-winning plastic surgeon Peter Anthony Haertsch has been awarded $267,919 in damages for being defamed in Channel 9 news program about a Gold Coast meter maid's botched boob job.
The acclaimed Sydney surgeon and burns specialist, who was awarded an Order of Australia for his work with the Bali bombing victims, says he was "absolutely humiliated" by the segment, aired on A Current Affair on August 1, 2008.
Mr Haertsch took action against journalist Kate Donnison and Nine, accusing them of defaming him and manipulating his interview to make him out to be a "monster" or "Dr Death" in the report about a breast enlargement gone wrong.
In the report, meter maid Andrea Chia described her stitches bursting before the implants began falling out, ending her career.
What only $267,919 for being humiliated on national TV? Lucky no one said nasty things about him on the internet or ACA would be up for millions!

A talented musician in his own right, Haas co-founded Cypher 7 in 1996, an ambient/alternative group whose three widely acclaimed albums (produced and released by Bill Laswell) continue to influence new artists. More recently he recorded and released his first solo album, Buildings, on his own Sonicontinuum label.
Alex Haas (1963) was born in New York City but grew up in France and Switzerland. After studying computer music at MIT and guitar/composition at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, he moved back to New York in 1982 to work at the famed Power Station recording studio and to start building a career in music engineering/production.
Jeff Bova, born in Washington D.C. in 1953, got his musical education at the Berklee School of Music, Boston and at the Manhattan School of Music, New York were he played keyboards and Trumpet.

It's supposed to be a safe haven for kids, but what happened on a Dutchess County playground is sick and shocking.
A 6-year-old boy was injured going down a slide -- after it was rigged with a razor blade.
Now an 11-year-old boy is under arrest.
"I slid down the slide; I felt something stinging," 6-year-old Sean Yambo said.
When Sean tells the painful story of his slide and slice, it makes people angry. This kid, who should not know any pain, suffered an excruciating gash on his behind after a blade from a box cutter was deliberately wedged into a crack in a slide at this apartment complex playground.
"The ambulance took me on a stretcher and took me in the cars. They put me in the hospital. They put on my stitches," Sean said.
John Yambo, Sean's father, was furious.
"He was at the top of the slide all happy. When he went down … disaster," John said. "Thirty stitches … it was horrifying to say the least. Every night we're changing the gauze and what not. The pain, the agony, the screaming. ..."

Paul Keating today dismissed Tony Abbott as an "intellectual nobody" who he had regarded as the Coalition's "resident nutter".
Arguing that the Rudd Government deserved to be re-elected for avoiding a recession, the former prime minister savaged the Opposition's economic credentials, saying “you wouldn't trust this mob with a jam jar full of five cent bits”,
Damn I like this guy.

The 68-year-old grandfather accused of punching children in a Northwest Side Walmart appeared in Franklin County Municipal Court this morning.
Judge Mark Hummer set bond for Ralph Conone, of 5687 Shadowbrook Dr., at $150,000. Should he post bond, Conone was ordered to stay away from his victims and Walmart while the case proceeds.
Columbus police have charged Conone with two misdemeanor counts of assault but said they expect that more victims will come forward as their investigation unfolds.
Hummer told the news media not to photograph Conone in court to protect the police investigation. Police said they hope other children can identify him.
Conone was caught Wednesday night at the Wal-Mart at 2700 Bethel Rd. after a 6-year-old boy complained to his mother that Conone had punched the back of his head.
The woman followed Conone out of the store, grabbed his arm, led him back inside and notified security.
Police said a review of the surveillance video in the store confirmed not only the assault on that boy but other assaults on his 7-year-old brother and two other children who haven't been identified.

Measuring just 8.8-micrometers long, this 1-billionth scale model of the USS Enterprise "was made with a 30 kV Ga+ focused-ion- beam CVD using phenanthrene gas by Takayuki Hoshino and Shinji Matsui of the Himeji Institute of Technology."
Woopdee fucking do. Tell me Mr Science, how exactly am I meant to get into that and fly it to the moon? Huh? The idea is to make them BIGGER so we can at least fit an Esky and some chairs into it.

A quarter of IT workers are on the hunt for a new job, after what was for many a second year without a pay rise, according to the 2010 iTnews Job Survey Report.
The survey of 1,600 employees across all sectors of the IT industry found 25.5 percent of employed respondents were looking for a job.
Another 20 percent were expected to join the search in the next 12 months.
This raises an interesting topic. Did you get a payrise last review? I did, but it was shitty. Really shitty. So much so that I blew it all in one weekend on blackjack and hookers.
