If the summary is indeed correct about optus being a "mobile carrier" (yeah, big IF, i know), then couldn't you just install/download the apps via wifi?
I know it's more convenient to do it via 3g, but it's not like they are not able to install them at all.
I am Canadian, and you are partly right. There are a few things that haven't changed over yet. Human height/weight and gallons of milk (though pop is all metric). The really weird part is that almost everyone uses inches, feet and kilometers (don't ask).
Each generation seems to get us a little closer to finaly ridding ourselves of the horrors that is the imperial system.
And if they would let you do a 180 turn and leave the building without the strip search (missing your flight), I might agree with you. But when they say "You are going to be searched, there is nothing you can do about it", that kind of removes that "agree to be searched" BS.
Not to mention the other 150 bottles of who-knows-what.
If someone wanted to blow up an aeroport, they just need a bunch of people to bring soda-bottles of explosive liquid through the checkpoint. Once the garbage bin is full, drop a match and RUN!
You're telling me. I live in Canada. Thanks to that *@#@*$ international patent law, Canadians are not allowed to patent software (good), but we still have to abide by software patents given to Americans (WTF).
When was the last time a well-known artist or author said "hey, I've made enough money on this work already, I'm going to release it into the public domain"?
While I do agree with your argument, I am going to have to refute this one point.
If apple released a completely botched BT KB stack, and 90% of the keyboards didn't work with it, the only people blaming apple would be the people who don't even HAVE one. The apple users would just say that 90% of BT KB suck!
WOP is an amazingly useful FF extension to prevent people from visiting bad sites. FF's walware blocker does good, but WOP also block according to fraud reports, etc.
Believe it or not, 9 year olds are the PERFECT people to switch. As long as they don't have games that need windows, they are usually open to new things and aren't yet to the point of not being able to figure out a new system. In my experience, adults are 20X harder to conver than those under 18.

Yes you can, you just need to enable it. Just because you can't do something by DEFAULT doesn't mean it can't be done 5 clicks later.
Ok genius, if you reinstall the entire OS, why would you not still need to restore the backups...?
You do not have to prove that your statements were true, only that you believed them to be true.

Same here in Canada (except that last part about copy protection).
:D
On that note, my guess is that if you were able to bypass it, it wasn't very "effective" now was it?
Wow, you know their business is iffy when the BBB makes them put a huge disclaimer right near the top of the front page!

If they program like they cook, it explains ME and Vista.
Depends what hardware it's running on :D

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that kind of an oxymoron?
Now if only we could take that name server, index it with meta data, make it searchable and create a web interface for it, we'd be all set!
Someone needs to write a firefox extension to auto-add that little gem to the end of them all.
They could call it the noob-retainer!
Well considering the US is the only place that uses the imperial system anymore, I'm gonna say metric...
Thank god two, with the obesity problem in the US that imperial buttload must be WAY bigger than the metric one!

Then jim_v2000 also skipped over that part, because his comment about that section completely excluded that little detail.
Oh, and sorry for not wasting my team reading 10 PAGES of leaglise written by lawyers who haven't written a line of computer code in their lives.

I didn't say "immediately" after. Just that it most definitely won't be before :D

You've never met an iPhone user.

You installed openoffice without changing the defaults to doc,xls and ppt? Sounds like half the fail was on you buddy.
Get back to me when you've explained the difference between water, H2O, and liquid ice.
There, fixed that for you.
