Re: Fixes and stuff ....

They can "forget" to tell which cable is the right one, for amusement purposes.

Then all the action can be filmed and aired in local TV as a game show.

Foxconn faces leaked report of worker abuse, violence

loldogs better than humans?

Aggellos. you're right! Nobody cares if a worker dies in China, or a child starves to death in Etiopia. But, if try throw puppies on the river, you'd better run, because 4chan, twitter-bois and orkut/fecesbook people wants your head!

Caring about humans is so... old-fashioned!

But I digress...

Cheap labour! That's why garlic produced in China comes to my country cheaper than garlic produced here!

This is the result of business logic... cut costs outsourcing production to a country where people work for less.

I think how long until the rest of the world sticks with China on labour (lack of) rights. In 2208, a chinese member of the goverment came to Brazil and told: "Labour legislation here is too liberal... you should change it to make decent profit"

Germans radio tag ID cards and phones

WTF?

RFID-based certs?

It seems to me that germans (along with the rest of EU, and USA) thinks privacy is a thing of the past.

Why not sticking with the old and reliable smart chips, like the ones that enable our mobiles and credit cards?

I may like the idea of use my mobile to shopping (well... maybe not in Brazil, where GPRS costs 0,003 per kbyte) but the good old plastic money seems fine to me.

Why every country wants to be like China?

Oh boy...

Should we, poor brazilians, start using torpark?

Seems to be that the future will be sad... I can see me telling my grandchildren about the days when we had net neutrality, privacy and civil rights.

You know what? I'll move to Sealand!

'Switch to Century Gothic to save the planet'

I don't know, does the sentence DON'T FCK PRINT BULLSHIT ring a bell?

Here comes the green people. Soylent green! People!!!

Seriously, I think there's one thing that makes the difference, it's installing a pdf tool and telling users how to avoid stupid things like printing a certificate to scan and then mail the jpeg file (yes, it really happens!)

Actually, teaching users how to print that only page that matters from a 325-page report is something that may save some trees and buy some time to mankind.

Argos buries unencrypted credit card data in email receipts

sw5guilherme

I am so serious!

"Argos takes the security of its customers’ data extremely seriously"

Yeah, right.

Anyway, they made it really easy to BOFH get the CEO credit card details

Non-Latin web addresses approved

sw5guilherme
Stop

Meow!

Will be quite hard to me to type an address like www.arussiansite.рф

One may say that's not so much people reading sites in foreign languages, but we have good translators nowadays.

Anyone remember the http://www.pаypal.com/ incident? (watch out, looks like pay pal, but it's not!)

That's why I think it's not a good idea...

Ironic

I am not surprised this was proposed by a russian CEO. The iron curtain is still alive in some people's mind.

In Brazil there's an ISP which advertising campaing presents a russian colonel
