  1. Re:any truth to the hornet story? by MrCreosote · · Score: 1 · on Broke into the old Quickies

    Yes, The Sydney Morning Herald (SMH) is a reliable paper. It is in the same stable as The Age, and The Australian Financial Review, Australia's 'Wall Street Journal'.

  2. Telstra loses loop AND cable... by goodie · · Score: 1 · on Australian TelCo Required To Grant Loop Access

    There is an article in the Australian Financial Review today about the Federal Court requiring Tel$tra to share its cable network with other players. http://www.afr.com.au/cont ent/000328/invest/invest1.html

    About the local loop, bandwidth in Australia $ucks, but one small benefit is that when bandwidth is restricted you learn to use it more efficiently, for example making text based websites instead of littering them with graphics made of text.

  3. re: look at this quote by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on SCO CEO Calls Red Hat a Fraud
    I have to admit... I got a chuckle out of this article. If this were Microsoft (or ZDnet, et al) everyone would gleefully scream "FUD!" and call it good. Seeing it come from a commercial unix vendor... well... heh... what can you say?

    I then took a look at that link and got another chuckle. To quote:

    "What a great competitor to have," Mr Michels said of the Linux movement. "Since it's open source, we can steal it. Anything that they do that works and that customers want, we can just have."

    Besides the obvious "not getting it"... maybe what we have here isn't FUD. It's simply public relations incompetance.

  4. Fairfax by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Dell Officially Supporting Linux?

    Fairfax probably shouldn't have FunkyCaps, because it's a family name. For whose who care, they are the publishers of the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age (Melbourne) and the Australian Financial Review.
