[SLUG] Linux takes a seat on Qantas' new superjumbo jet
Hmmm... adjusts glasses http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasicarticleId=9117180source=rss_topic122 Ah ! That's better ! Was hoping something on Qantas was going to improve when I came back to Oz :) So far I've only had the pleasure of this kind of thing when flying from San Francisco to New York after going to the Linux Expo. Who knows, I might even get to see some cricket this time ;) -- Richard www.sheflug.org.uk -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] Fortress .... err Firewall Australia
Is this possibly for real? Does anyone here have any insight pls? http://www.boingboing.net/2008/10/15/australias-great-fir.html http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.php/id;1399635276 ... Australians will be unable to opt-out of the government's pending Internet content filtering scheme, and will instead be placed on a watered-down blacklist, experts say. Under the government's $125.8 million Plan for Cyber-Safety, users can switch between two blacklists which block content inappropriate for children, and a separate list which blocks illegal material. Pundits say consumers have been lulled into believing the opt-out proviso would remove content filtering altogether. ... -- Kind Regards Kyle -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

The exact status of: - whether complete opt-out is possible - the extent of filtering of, eg, encrypted traffic (I have been told by a sysadmin, although without a source, that there are rumours that they will require ISPs to do Man In The Middle on HTTPS) - whether this is a serious plan, or some kind of stunt along the lines of: - oh we tried to filter your Internet we really did but it turns out the trial was a failure, the tech just isn't there yet! or - an aggressive starting position they intend to back away from so that something still problematic is perceived as 'reasonable': as a noble compromise, we agree to take your second born rather than first born children, isn't compromise great? I wrote about this in my blog, but in short I suspect the best response is to send a letter to Senator Conroy and the shadow minister Senator Nick Minchin expressing your disapproval of the plan and calling on them to drop the plan/oppose the plan, as appropriate http://puzzling.org/logs/thoughts/2008/October/14/internet-filtering -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Re: [SLUG] Fortress .... err Firewall Australia
I dont think it would be fair to say 'filtering will make mistakes so dont use them', because that argument would therefore logically extend your morality to 'police make mistakes, so get rid of them' also this thread should be in slug-chat.
