I'm sorry to be Australian.

Kevin Rudd today apologized to the indigenous Australians for the alleged injustices we committed upon them. My views are echoed pretty much by Andrew Bolt on this issue.

Understandably, when Kev finished, there was standing applause across the nation. But when Brendan Nelson gave an well-spoked and very fair reply, did the nation listen?



No.

They turned and hid like cowards, refusing to listen, preferring to bathe in the reflected glory of their pathetic victory.

My deepest admiration goes to Liberal MP Chris Pearce, who refused to stand to applaud this feel-good measure, and also to John Howard and Wilson Tuckey, who boycotted the service, opposing the use of our country's parliament for this feel-good political move.

Indigenous people of Australia, you have my deepest sympathies for your difficulties. But while this apology may make us all feel better, it will do nothing but perpetuate the victim mentality amongst Indigenous Australians, and the false guilt forced onto my fellow whitefellas.

I wanna EEE!

Got my mitts on an EeePC recently at a store display, and I have to say I'm impressed. It presents FLOSS in a very easy, useful and non-threatening way. The thing is seriously tiny - but from my brief meeting, I want one. And it's less than $500! Less than a handgun! That said, I don't want to take money out of the Glock Fund for any reasons, but the Eee is very tempting. It's a cheap, portable and tough laptop - it feels like you could beat someone to death with it.

The only downside really was the crappy button on the touchpad. Too stiff for my dainty fingers.

I shot your dog.

It appears OSM has been ARFCOMed. Welcome new American visitors! I hope you stick around to see what I have to say...

Stupid things you can do:

1. Not vaccinate.
2. Have a home birth
3. Go to a chiropractor, homeopath or any other salesman of CAM
5. Ban Guns
6. Apologies to the Aboriginals
7. Care about the US

Yeah, I'm a little pissed off at the world at the moment. I need to read more Slashdot and Ars, post some more techy stuff, and get less caught up with the pissing contests (read: primaries) in the US.

So, I have made a pact that the next five posts WILL be techy or sciency. May the lord of teh interwebs strike me down if I lie.

Jihad Shelias.

Very interesting program on the ABC tonight about two Australian women who converted to Islam. The various CIA and ASIO types that were interviewed were very interesting and made a lot of sense.

On the other hand, the two women? Batshit insane. When they weren't bitching about Australia, praising Osama bin Laden, and endlessly complaining about how Islam is "persecuted": 50 countries have a majority Muslim population (hint: those "evil" Jews only have one), they were talking about how they were ready to die for their faith or - what really disgusted me - were prepared to send their children to fight Australian Soldiers.

Hey, Jihad Shelias, fuck you and the donkey you rode in on.

Are you more likely to be murdered by a firearm in New Zealand or Australia?

According to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Handgun Violence, 5 people were murdered by firearms in New Zealand and 56 in Australia in 2004.

Now accounting for population, you have a 0.00027405% chance of being killed with a gun in Australia - and despite New Zealand's more liberal gun laws, only a 0.000121483% chance of being murdered with a firearm.

It is easier to obtain a handgun, pump action shotgun or semi-automatic rifle or shotgun in New Zealand than Australia (these weapons are limited to competition shooters who are are registered members of clubs who complete a probation period, primary producers and professional hunters) - and to take the example of handguns, no meaningless limits are placed on barrel length, caliber or magazine capacity*. Yet, you are safer from gun crime in Australia than New Zealand.

In other words, despite our strict gun laws, Australians are twice as likely to be shot and killed than New Zealanders.


*All of these were restricted (to 120mm, .38 and ten, respectively) in 2002 in Australia after the Monash University shooting.

Round One: Sciencetology Vs. The Internet. Round Two: Scienctology Vs. 4chan.

/b/ wants to take on Scientology

Insane, but it would be utterly hilarious if they pulled it off. The Multi-Stage Plan of theirs:


Anonymous 01/15/08(Tue)20:35:24 No.51056743

THEY HAVE PHONES!

Our first phone target is the Dianetics hotline:

1-800-367-8788
1-800-367-8788
1-800-367-8788
1-800-367-8788
1-800-367-8788
1-800-367-8788
1-800-367-8788

Call it, and Rickroll them, ask them why theres a Volcano on the cover of Dianetics, ask to speak to high-profile Scientologists, and just generally bug the hell out of them.

This is phase 1.

Phase 2

We set up shell sites. This is where the most richest and Elite of /b/tards come in.

Simply put, we place all of the known facts of Scientology, and its inner workings onto it, in one repeating flash video, and we both digg it, upload it to YouTube under various names, as well as upload it to YouPorn and several other places. By then, they should take notice.

Also, email it to them.

This is phase 2.

Phase 3.

By the time the video circulates around the internet, and eventually leaking onto news stations like Fox and CNN, the shell site that we say that we come from will get a cease and desist letter from a Scientology lawyer, including the persons name, phone number, place of employment, and fax number.

This is where we bring the big guns out. We Harass the lawyer, and his/her Lawfirm: We call them, fax them Goatse and other shit, and complain to her/his boss that she/he is a crack whore/rapist/nigger/ whatever.
Scientology will begin a counter attack.

This is Phase 3.

Phase 4

This is where it all hangs out. This is the Climax of everything. This is where the most Elite, the ones who actually know what they're talking about begin their line of work.

Getting into the scientologist system will take time and effort. This will take more than just sitting in your basement whacking it to Hentai while you make crank calls and use gigaloader.

Whoever will complete this will be a god in the eyes of Anonymous.

One of us must get into a Church of Scientology. Preferably a small one in a small town some where, run by only a few people.

Bring along with you a flash drive with Keylogger in it. You must do whatever is possible to get behind the front desk.

Get someone to distract the people at the front desk. While they are busy, sneak to the tower of the computer under the desk, load the keylogger, and let it sit. Walk out, and come back in a day or two.

This is Phase 4.


Phase 5

The select individual mentioned before will go back to their local CoS.

Using the same technique, get the flash drive and the contents of teh keylogger, and make sure you wipe the logger form teh comp.

They'll usually have little to no virus protection.

more than likely, you'll have the passwords and usernames for at least one of the employees.

More than likely, they'll have wireless internet set up, so bring a laptop. Hide somewhere outside the CoS building and connect to the net using their wireless. You'll now be using their IP.

On the keylogger, you should also get a link or something that will take you to the OL database of scientologist within that area.

You should be prompted for a username and password, and it will verify it through your IP.

Log in, and search around for a record of Current and former Scientologists in the area, and see if you can cause general havoc with them.

Copy and paste the list of Scientologist and their numbers/addresses and emails etc and post it into a new .txt.

Get teh fuck out of there, the cops may be alerted.

This is phase 5.

Phase 6

Take the list you gathered, get it on your main comp, and place it in a rar, and embed it into a peice of JB.

Everyone, this next part is important. We must all keep this in teh back of our minds.

You will post the image on /b/, in a new thread.

You will post this in the text field: "Itty Bitty Baby Boats Farter than Bob"

This will be the code word. All Anon will proceed to download the image, open the rar, and begin to call the numbers listed.

Scientology will not be pleased.

This is phase 6.


Probably just typical /b/atshit insane 4chan talk, but a part of me hopes there is a well organized team behind the madness. Even giving the Scientologists a bloody nose would be a major achievement.
