You want hard proof that you're wrong? Here we go:

Here are three files (from Swervedriver's second album, 'Mezcal Head'). 'Dueltest.mp3' is the original 128kbps MP3 file. I then converted this file to AIFF and back to MP3 6 times using iTunes. 'Dueltest3.mp3' is the third conversion back to MP3, 'Dueltest6.mp3' is the sixth. I stopped converting at this point - if you couldn't hear the difference even at the third conversion you shouldn't be discussing audio quality in the first place.

Note to the RIAA: I believe 30 second excerpts come under the banner of fair use, and if you don't agree, too fucking bad.

1. Swervedriver were raped and dropped by three RIAA members one after another, and most of their catalogue (which is superb) isn't available anymore.

2. I used the same 30 seconds of the song that you'll get for free by previewing the song on the iTunes store.

Using JACK I regularly stream realtime audio (iTunes, QuickTime) from my PowerBook running OS X Tiger to my Debian Linux server where my speakers are attached with minimal latency.

There's a good port of JACK available for OS X and jack.udp readily compiles on OS X. I use Audio Hijack Pro as my JACK source to grab audio from applications and send them to JACK which then uses jack.udp to send via the network.

Of course if you're running Linux on your workstation, everything you need should be included in your distro's repositories already. I have no idea about Windows support.

Oxygum! (Because everyone remembers Marine Boy).

That plus an electrified boomerang, and I am confident that I too can gain a topless mermaid girlfriend!

I somehow have gotten the impression that the AUS Government is very computer hostile unless it is at the behest of large corporations or pressure groups, could anyone living in AUS give the low-down on some of the problems that plague internet users there?
Sort of right. See the goverment used to own this company called Telecom which provided telecommunications. No one else could, the goverment owned all of the phone lines in the country. Which worked ok.

The goverment finally let other carriers in and in 1992 Optus launched in Australia. In 1997 the goverment sold (I think) 25% of Telecom (now called Telstra) and in 1998 sold enough to give the goverment 51% control (A Brief History of Telstra).

Which is where we are now. Basically Telstra owns most of the lines (because they were paid for by the Australian people) and it costs a fair bit for anyone else to roll out an entire network. But Telstra obviously set the retail and wholesale prices of the lines. And strangely, sometimes, the wholesale prices are more than or equal to the retail. Optus gets around this via thier TV cable services, Alphalink rolled out wireless and iiNet are doing what article says.

There were claims that Telstra blocked the introduction of broadband for it's own benifit and that it has been unfairly competing against other carriers (but I don't think Fair Trade has upheld any of these claims).

In reality the goverement is pushing to sell the rest of Telstra and the Coalition have never quite got enough votes in the Senate to get it thru by themselves. For the last two sales they mad stupid ammendments to appease an independent who calls himself Brian Harradine, who's very into censoring everything, including the net. Thankfully he's going, but Family First managed to get one senator in (and I'm ashamed that it's in my state) and they are a party who... shock horror... want to ramp up net censorship further than what Harradine dreamed he could get.

So the simple answer is it's not that the goverment are actively computer hostile, it's just that thier short sighted plan of selling a monopoly means that they have to be mean to all of us.

I think I might have ranted a bit there, but you should get the general impression of what's happening down here. Oh... and do a search on google for Telstra suck if you need more of an idea... :)

Pretty cool, huh?

What about that crater that people thought was an extinct volcano off the coast of Australia? I can't find the source to back it up, but I heard it a while ago on NPR (National Public Radio). Those in the US who listen to that program might have some sources. All I could find after a very quick Google run is Australian Impact Craters.

for those who don't remember this show click HERE

this robot is notable beacuse it chose to disobey its human controller and sacrifice itself to save the world.

Otherwise it sounds a great deal - 2Mbs connection for $33pm (with limits) or 64kbps for $22pm with unlimited down/uploads ...

It's /.'d already so I have no idea what the application for this plane is but I suspect military based on the secrecy of the project. That said, most new govt built planes have a few shared characteristics. The most relevant here is they are fly by wire since they posses the aerodynamics of rocks. The F177a stealth F/B is a great example of a plane that could not fly without the intervention of a computer to make thousands of adjustments a second. In this case the design was for the stealth capabilities but also the F16/18's are not terribly aerodynamic either and have low wing thickness. As a result of these aerodynamic features the stall speed is very high and requires thrust in most circumstances. I do not pretend to understand this fully but apparently these aerodynamic "features" (in this case not a codeword for bug...) allow for amazing manuevuers such as the Mig29's 45 angle of attack. see here and here and it's ability to do a tail-slide (when the nose is actually behind the tail while the plane is moving forward or graphically like this \ moving > slightly) This was performed at a show in 1998 (see here)

The search for a new splash screen is well-documented as http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32218. Note that the current splash screen may have legal implications, as mozilla.org may not have image rights to the green dinosaur... also well documented as http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28028. (Bugzilla doesn't liked being linked to from Slashdot, so copy and paste... and please don't slashdot 'em too bad.)

An unofficial group to do a new splash screen is hosted at http://sourceforge.net/projects/splashzilla.

Ahh, whilst I'm here, why not a shameless plug. My own splash screen

An Australian ISP (Alphalink) was just awarded a Carrier Licence to undertake a similar programme in Australia - although they are only going to be deploying in two site with more to come depeneding on interest.

I hope telstra doesn;'t follow - if their performance in ADSL is anything to go by, their 802.11x performance will be flapping every 10 minutes!

Your history's way flawed.

First, you're referring to what's widely known as the "non-aligned movement"; the actual conferences were originally known as the "Conference of Non-Aligned Heads of State." (It's still an active movement of some 110 countries; their last meeting was held in South Africa (another "third world nation"?) back in 1998.)

Second, your history's all wrong. Pakistan and India have been separate nations for as long as they've been independent (1947), and certainly at the time when the NAM was just getting its start, back in the 1960s.

Making an economic argument using semantics doesn't work; using bad history to back it up sucks even worse.

Similarly, make [...] needs a simple GUI front end for newbies more than it needs rewriting.
