  1. Re:Every legislator that voted for it should resig on Injunction Blocks "Don't Be Friends" Law For Missouri Teachers · · Score: 2

    except if this law passed it would come into effect after many people decided to be a teacher.

    and also what if there were a law that stripped the constitutional rights of anyone who attended protests against the government. i mean they choose to attend the protest right?

  3. anyone think this might actually be a feature. on Capcom Announces Unreplayable Game · · Score: 1

    remember that flash game a while back that someone made that could only be played once? there was definitely nothing profit driven about that being that it cost nothing to play.

    i dunno there's a lot about old school games that just cannot be done any more thanks to save games (well a lot more to do with short attention spans). I remember playing games on my master system/mega drive for hours on end to finish (or not in the case that i ran out of lives,. yeah dying in a game used to mean something) it was a good thing that I couldn't save them.

    nowadays, with most games, oops i made a mistake, i'll just load to five minutes ago. and adventure games. before the Internet meant that if you couldn't figure out what to do within 5 minutes you'd just look it up. sometimes taking away freedoms is a good thing. as long as you agree not to have those freedoms in this setting.

    that being said it is quite likely that their motivation behind this may be to curb second hand games. but well, i'll make my decision on weather i want to play it based on what it is.

  24. Re:Bigpond is part of Telstra on Australia's Largest ISP Ditches Linux Mirror · · Score: 1

    No it's not, Telstra retail is required to pay the same costs to Telstra wholesale. that cost is about $50 when its a matter of placing codes on the line. Yes Telstra wholesale/retail are separate and operational separation is heavily regulated by the ACCC, it really is a case of lazy hack ISPs

  25. Re:TPG has the best plans on Australia's Largest ISP Ditches Linux Mirror · · Score: 1

    If you are in that situation, talk to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman. I know someone who was in that situation where TPG said they couldn't give them ADSL but BigPond said they could. They talked to the TIO and ended up on the TPG plan they wanted without needing to pay anything to Telstra (i.e. contract exit fees).

    I cant find a cite but thanks to the ACCC, Telstra are legally required to wholesale ADSL1 to any ISP that wants to buy a port from Telstra Wholesale.

    http://www.accc.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/759631

    Telstra is not favouring its retail business units by implicitly supplying services to itself at prices which are unjustifiably lower or of a higher quality than those offered to downstream competitors.

    Although in situations like this it isn't Telstra's fault, they aren't denying other ISP's access, Telstra wholesale and Telstra retail are completely separated. Telstra retail have no better access to infrastructure and the TIO should refer you to the provider you are trying to connect with.

    Telstra wholesale don't speak to or deal with customers only to other providers, and Telstra retail cannot help you connect with another provider.
