Blame Game

And they blame hackers from overseas for the failure not admitting their system was good enough to handle the load

 Nothing like taking a bit of responsibility for choosing to do it at the last minute when 10,000,000 other people jump on at the same time to do it...

 

But this is just a general rant/frustration thread, Aussie internet is shit

And what" real info" would that be

Wed, 2016-08-10 07:09

 What, your name address, age, sex, occupation? You aren't exactly putting your financial details up there, are you--mate, everyone knows so much about you now that the information you give in the census is irrelevant to anyone but the ABS.

Census

Wed, 2016-08-10 07:30

I filled in the census first crack at about 5:30 and that was using the NBN.

The thing I find funny was one of the last questions. After they ask you all about who is at the address on the night and how much you pay for your mortgage etc, and keep in mind you are answering these questions online - they ask 'does anyone access the internet from this address?'!!!!! Ke? How did I fill in the online census about who is at this address adress if I don't access the internet from this address? ha ha.

real info

Wed, 2016-08-10 07:51

 obviously anything that could potentially be used to assume your identity. Foreign hackers didnt attack the site for no reason. Obviously they were after something within the census. Next time the phone rings and the person with a thick Pakistan accent asks you for all your info you go right ahead and tell them everything they want to know. I'll just hang up like I usually do.

 Pete it’s not a new forum

 Pete it’s not a new forum topic .. I’ve noticed your a bit of a repeat offender with thread protocol in this regard , it’s ok to comment on other members existing threads we will notice your opinion .

Now the subject is all over the shop . We may have to put you in the naughty chair

 Just wondering, what does NBN have to do with it? It's like blaming the census failure on the ants in my brick paving.
