Re: STUPID STUPID STUPID

Lol, Brexiters have never stooped to insults and bigotry.

Oh wait...

Anyway I think this revocation policy is great. I’m gonna be able to grab ‘my’ .eu domain at the end of March.

Re: Didn't the UK create these rules?

You ever thread the t&c’s for registering a .eu domain?

Or women to vote.

Re: @tachyonhorse

@Pascal Monett:"You wouldn't happen to be a copyright lawyer, would you ?"

In the event of a private registration the lawyer writes a letter to the domain registrar, saying "Please advise me of the registration details of xyz.com. If you fail to provide the details, your organisation will become party to the proceedings as I'll assume you own the domain."

@LDS:"The Italian registry utterly ignored GDPR..."

In Italy, the legislation to facilitate GDPR apparently only came into effect at the end of September. There's still some legal fannying about to be done to finalise matters...

Fines issued since May will be subject to certain provisions (i.e. ignored) from what I can make out.

**alza le spalle**

Re: GDPR users were less exposed

@tachyonhorse:"The question is, why would someone want to hide the true owner of a Domain Name, especially a commercial entity?"

Because they don't want crazy people visiting, or pipe bombs in the mail, or so on...

A lot of so-called "security analysts" spent months bitching about GDPR, and how it was going to impact on their work (Looking at you Brian Krebs), but the bottom line is that you can get the law involved if you have a legitimate reason to need somebody's registration info.

Why do you feel the right to know certain information outweighs the other party's right to privacy?

Re: Registered private domain owners.

@katrinab:"Actually, the GDPR says you can’t do that anymore unless you opt in to having your details disclosed. Some big companies opt in, most don’t."

GDPR only protects EU citizens and their data. Someone in the US or Canada for example has no recourse to GDPR.

Why are registrars still publishing this info anyway? Most of us opt not to have our name/address/phone number in a phone book, yet we're fine with our personally identifiable info being published to a much larger audience online?

Re: Macs typically have a longer usable life than Windows PCs ...

Windows 7 is still in support, having been released in 2009, regardless of what hardware it's running on.

You're slightly correct in saying that OS X Lion isn't in support, having been released in 2011. There have been several *free* upgrades of OS X in the meantime that allow Mac users to stay current.

I'm still not getting your point... You're comparing apples and oranges (no pun intended).

Re: Files are not testimony

@Charles 9:"Why is a password any different from a physical key?"

A password isn't tangible (unless you wrote it down on a Post-It).

It's something you KNOW, rather than something you POSSESS.

A court can't issue a search warrant for your brain. Yet.

Re: TheUnregister

@MIke Moyle:"...unless it inconvenienced or prejudiced HIS interests; then it's right out!"

My comment was partly tongue-in-cheek.

Assange is an arsehole (and I think I'm on record saying so on numerous occasions), and his supporters can't claim the right to freedom of expression while at the same time denying the same right to those they disagree with...

Re: So much hostility

@The Original Steve: "That'll be the rape accusations that he was interviewed about in Sweden at the time, case was closed and they said he could leave the country.

Nope, he ran out the clock on the statute of limitations for the "minor" offences he was accused of.

The statute of limitations on the rape charge doesn't run out until 2020.

The Swedish prosecutor cancelled the European Arrest Warrant on the basis that Assange wouldn't become available in the near future, but has stated previously that another will be issued post haste should Jules become available.

Which could happen sooner rather than later...

Re: Silk Road

@RobThBay: "Hmmm... the boss of Silk Road gets jail time for activities other people did using his website."

Whataboutery...

Ulbricht was charged with drug trafficking, criminal enterprise, aiding and abetting the distribution of drugs over the internet, computer hacking and money laundering. Prosecutors are debating whether or not to dismiss the murder-for-hire charges, solely because he's spending the rest of his life behind bars anyway

He's a big boy and he knew what he was doing. Time for him to take his medicine...

Re: Sooo...

@Redstone: I've met some dense motherfuckers in my time but you take the biscuit.

Your philosophy seems to be 'everybody for themselves'. I don't see why the thought of same work/same pay gets you so wound up. To be honest I don't care for an explanation cos it would just be more of the same boring crap.

You're such a cliche moaning about 'white knights', 'SJWs', and 'patriarchy' with no sign of intelligence whatsoever. The only thing you left out was a 'libtard' accusation...

By the way, what are your thoughts on blacks, Jews or the disabled earning a comparable wage to you?

Or is it just women who make you angry?

Re: Sooo...

@Redstone:"Wow, you have a planetary sized ego.."

Lol, pot meet kettle. The irony of that statement coming from you..

Re: Sooo...

@Redstone: You seem to be a very angry person. I doubt very much that you have either a wife or a daughter. If you did, you wouldn't see equal pay as a way for you to get your panties in a bunch about feminism.

I've defended my position in the comments already - it's so simple even you could understand: same work, same pay...

Re: Sooo...

@tip pc: There are 39 comments to this article so far. It would probably be more enlightening for you to read from the top of the page rather than having me provide a digest of the comments. It should take you 5 or 10 minutes to read them all...

Re: Sooo...

@LucreLout:"The point a lot of the posters are making with their poor use of language, however, has greater validity than their choice of words used to express it."

The underlying animosity displayed toward 50% of the population is the main problem.

The other problem is that quite a few are throwing up this straw (wo)man argument that "well of course cleaners should be paid less that CEOs" or "pilots should earn more than stewardesses". That's nonsense, and not what the equal pay argument is about.

If you're, say, a software developer doing the same work/same hours as your colleague in the next cubicle (who happens to have ovaries or any of the other recognised grounds for discrimination) you should both earn the same pay. End of.

I don't think that any woman would argue that they deserve positive discrimination, just a fair wage...
