Broadband In Australia Just Got Slower
liquidx writes: "Seems like broadband Down Under is getting more and more restrictive. First we had our _unlimited_ plans changed to capped usage plans, then incoming port 80 traffic was blocked (due to Code Red/Nmida worms) and now file-sharing protocol ports are filtered due to 'load balancing issues'! Whirlpool reports that Optus@Home throttled traffic to ports 6700-6702 (ex-Napster ports) without telling its users. Read the letter and article here. Are there any other broadband services, other than the ones in Australia, continually degrading their service to customers? When will this stop?"
(_)):::D~~~ -- Right there.
Yeah... but who needs broadband in Oz, look outside, have you seen the fucking animals? How entertaining are they, I could watch them for hours. It's like gods alpha and beta testing ground, loads of weird and wonderful animals.
Take the koala bear for instance, they're pretty neat, but they're lazy bastards that sleep for 23 hours a day, what a life, they're pretty vicious if you wake up also.
Also, what's that animal with the long tail that can't tell the difference between trees and power lines with drastic consequences? They only make that mistake once. Mind you, they have been jumping around the place for millions of years and we go a put up a fucking great electricity cable, who's to blame?
I was born in a small hospital outside Portland in 1974. I was a rather large newborn, about 14 pounds. My mother thought I would grow to be 300 pounds by age 10. She was right. Now that I am 27, I weigh in at 715 pounds. My height is 4 feet 8 inches. Sometimes I try hiring a prostitute to play "games" with me, but they often decline my job offer. This has caused me great anguish since I first met a hooker at age 11. Now, I no longer attempt to find hookers to please my sausage. The internet has fulfilled my dreams. In 1999, I was introduced to Slashdot. There I met great people just like me: Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda and Jon Katz. I gained great encouragement from them as they bore their testimony to me. I learned they too had a difficult time hiring hookers simply because of their massive, gravitational weight.
Rob explained how he overcame his desire to buy hookers by learning the technique of "kernel compiling." This advanced Native-American sexual act is performed by compacting handfuls of corn grain into the anus. After a few moments of settling, the corn grain begins to stimulate the prostate. Eventually, the grain will begin expanding due to the moisture of the anus. Often the sensation of gerbeling (inserting a rodent into the anus) is described as the feeling. Rob said he performed a kernel compile "every other day" until a hooker was the last person on his mind. Corn became his new play toy. Unfortunately, Rob began having violent erections at the mere thought of vegetables. His friend Jon "Vegan" Katz, came to the rescue by offering to desensitize him with man-sausage. (You know what I mean by man sausage.) Now Rob is neither attracted to hookers nor vegetables.
Katz is a great guy. He offered me support too. As a teenager, he started gaining weight. By the age of 20, Katz weighed 500 pounds! But he learned that weight doesn't affect sexual desire one bit!! He still continued to attend all the gay "movie parties" at the local theatre. During matinee showings of Rock and Roll High School, he would make out with all the hot fat guys in the back of the theatre. Sometimes Katz even had "bathroom breaks." This really intrigued me that a guy who weighed 500+ pounds didn't feel ashamed about his homosexuality. I had the chance to meet Katz at a Portland book signing last year. We had dinner together and discussed my issues with female hookers. He persuaded me to try man-sausage for just one night. I agreed. It wasn't what I expected, though. Without going into many details, Katz just thrusted his tool down my throat until he was gratified. Then, he went down on my tool. I never ejaculated because I was just plain horrified at the time. Katz apologized for his straightforwardness. I apologized for not really being "gay enough" for his taste of men. But we talked more after that. Now we correspond occasionally and plan to meet again in Las Vegas at Comdex 2002. Though I never turned to the hardcore gay lifestyle of Katz, my desire for cheap hookers declined after we met. I owe Katz a big debt for his help.
then forcing themselves to limit everyone's bandwidth wouldn't be an issue. The Alpha platform has received alot of neglect by the industry, all of which is politial from Microsoft. A high-performance Alpha-based Computer system is quite affordable and is a great investment for anyone who wants a try at the ISP business. And they are quite affordable nowadays. Hell, check on eBay for one to use as a gateway and you'll see a nice deal like what is in this auction. The latest Alpha processor, the 21264, aren't being sold as often on eBay anymore. Propably because the Alpha is so useful; unlike those shitty consumer CPUs(Intel, AMD, Cyrix, WinChip(?more like LoserChip), Transmeta, Evergreen, etc.
What are all thes crappy ISP's using down in Ausie? Shitty Pentium 4's, Pentium 2 XEON's, or any other Intel-based crap like us Ameri-kwanza-nolito-deutch-melvins? Intel sucks and can't scale and perform as well as Alpha. Australia doesn't deserve Intel shit, they should have Alpha-quality performance. Hell just look at this auction some guy is throwing and tell me that isn't a bad deal for the Alpha, RedHat 5.x's, RedHat 7.1, and the Linux apps!
For the record, we do not block porn sites, but we keep a close eye on them to make sure users are not distributing or accessing images that are illegal under current laws.
Good luck on confirming the validity of this "illegal" porn. I know a few women over 18 who look quite younger than you would expect them to be. That innocent 12 year old getting banged on the computer screen may just be the money-strapped college student (or meth addict) who lives just down the street.
Hey Klerck, how's it going? I hope you're doing alright.
Great, although I didn't think you needed to post the goatsex as a reply. Thanks. Take care and keep up the good work.
