*All will be labelled as useless as a group and it will be virtually impossible for any Aboriginal Australian to to get the opportunities needed to have a successful life.*
pure crap. Every human being controls their own destiny. Aboriginals have just as much opportunity as I do, if not more (more money under Abstudy etc). Nothing is stopping them bettering themselves. Christ, I had a white high school english teacher who's family used to squat in abandoned buildings... My father didnt own a pair of shoes until the age of 10.
The main problem is this: the english came here and took over. We are continually apologising and trying to 'make up' for it. The aboriginals cry that they are second class citizens, and we give them more money. Well, the reason a person usually feels second class is because they dont have the balls to get up and go do something about it. An person often feels inferior because they are.
Here's the deal. Aboriginals are a dominated race. White people had the guns, kicked their asses and took over. Nothing will change that... Aboriginals just need to *get over it*. I have nothing to apologise for. If they dont like it, tough. If they think white australia owes them something, tough. Life's not always easy, but sitting around thinking the world owes you something just because youre black doesnt solve anything. If my great, great grandfather was killed by an Aboriginal, does this mean I have some sort of claim? ofcourse not, its ridiculous.
I was on my way home, thinking I had been a bit harsh. On the train some fuckhead (doped out on something, moving in slow motion) tried to lift my girlfriends mobile phone out of her bag.
Come here, pay 49% tax, watch the govt piss it down the drain, and then tell me Im crazy.
Time for a change, its time for the good people to reclaim the world. I know we exist. We've put up with this shit too fucking long.
Yeh, aboriginals' worst problem is what to do with the millions of dollars they are screwing out of Mining companies and the government (ie, my taxes) just for being black. At least a lot of the African-Americans can stand up and be counted as a proud, hard-working, decent citizens. Abos cant even fucking stand up... their dole goes on booze.
Im sick to fucking death of feeling uneasy in my hometown because of 14 yr abos on the train with knives (who I quite often overhear talking about 'going stealing'), and yet some stupid fucking asshole asks everyone (including recently the queen!) to apologise to these incidious little fucknuts for something that happened 200 years ago and none of us participated in. Also, even tho they were nomads, suddenly they are claiming fucking vast amounts of mining land and the most expensive residential areas of my city (ie right next to the river, they're even claiming an old brewery for christ's sake) as 'sacred' land....
Fuck the lot of them... Unfortunately the australian govt has screwed me over so many times I cant even own a gun anymore to shoot the bastards. And if a white man goes a black man with a baseball bat while fending off a buglary, the white man undoubtedly spends more time in prison.... they whole system is fucked up.
This might all seem unreasonable to you, but come and live where I do, and have your house broken into by a group of dirty 13 yr old, petrol sniffing abos who shit on your carpet, and then come and tell me Im being racist. Even if they catch the bastards, the are in and out of prison like fucking yoyos, because it seems our laws dont apply to them (or maybe 'Im black' is a valid excuse). For christ's sake, in the Northern Territory the blacks are soo stupid they dont even understand what 'mandatory sentencing' means... they continue stealing shit and then whinge when they finally get locked up. Or they hang themselves (at least they proved themselves successful at something) and then we have to sit thru another million dollar,tax-payer funded, royal commission into Aboriginal deaths.
I was gonna post this anon, but fuck it, Im sick of it all..
I want ADSL, and I only live 500m from an exchange!!! woohooo!!!!
Ofcourse, knowing Australia ISPs and Telco's, it will be some massive $$$s for non-permanent connections, and permanent connections will require you to sell your first 4 children.
Now, ofcourse, I only have until September to get my Linux/Apache/mod-SSL/mod-PHP box going:)
Is a good thing. However, its very pricey, especially coming from a GNU/Linux/BSD background where the norm is 'apps for free, pay for support'..
Has anyone considered starting a free implementation? Are there licensing concerns with ASP? I cant imagine it would be too hard, considering we already have ASP->PHP, so the standard is probably well understood..
How hard would it be to create a 'wrapper' of sorts, which would run ASP stuff on PHP?
This is the problem with closed stuff on free OSs. If it is worth doing, someone will do it for free sooner or later, rendering your product worthless... Check VMware in a couple of years once FreeMWare (or whatever they are called now) have comparable functionality. I wouldnt be buying shares anytime soon....
I mean, as soon as things get too tough for them, they run screaming to Linux to try to shore up their bottom-line.
Free-software isnt a bandwagon, or a fad, or a political stance. You cant just turn around and decide that you're losing in the big game, so lets just jump on the Linux 'bandwagon'.
One thing that gets my goat is that a lot of the 'news for nerds' on slashdot is absolutely USA specific.
I could not buy one of these around here (Perth, Australia) if my ass was on fire. I've already tried buying a $99 i-opener from circuitcity (when it all happened), but they cant ship outside the USA (due to manufacturer agreements)
Please dont tease us poor foreigners!!!!:) BTW, is there someone out there willing to send me an i-opener COD (plus tip!;-)???
Anyway, give a thought to those of us living in backwaters
and yeh, the early consoles were gonna kill home computing... and then those consoles with attachable keyboards were gonna kill home computing... yadda yadda.. Ive heard this about a hundred consoles ever since the Colecovision.
Wake up n smell the coffee....pc gaming isnt going anywhere soon....
Ive read a few (negative) comments here... I just dont agree.
LOKI are doing a sterling job... most people dont give a shite about the age of the title, but the quality of the title. And LOKI are pulling some great quality titles out of their bags.
Hell, I still play c64 games (on a real SX-64) on occasion... a good game is a good game...
a) NEVER login as root for general use b) limit the number of daemons running as root and stuff thats suid root... if you're running a home pc, who cares, if its a production system and you havent got the source, dont run it....simple c) properly protect your box with firewalling etc to limit worms etc d) install any 'untrusted' software (ie s/w not from a large company or well known open-source developer) as anything but root.
If you take normal unix precautionary measures, and the kernel developers/daemon/suid root programs keep auditing their stuff for security holes, I think you're pretty safe.
People quote windows as being more prone to viruses because they are single user systems (any program can alter anything) and usually the users arent as knowledgable and will run any.exe file anyone sends them. This is unix, if you dont know how to protect yourself, buy a book.
Can anyone think of any way a 'virus' could attack a secured machine from an unpriveledged user account? besides once-off security holes.
what am I missing? Everytime I get suckered by these announcements... someone always says 'Mozilla has made *so* much progress, its looking really great!' and I dutifully go any download it... I use linux at home, but win32 at work, so I download the windows version and install, and am presented with the buggiest, shitiest pile of dog-turd Ive ever seen... are people blind? The thing crashes every other minute, the widget set is attrocious and there are soooo many bugs you would probably finish quicker if you started again
What am I missing? Is Mozilla really the 'killer app' everyone's been waiting for, or is everyone just so hopeful that they are blind to the fact that its a steaming pile on the carpet???
Have they investigated *where* the blisters are located? I know a few Nintendo players, and my guess is that the blisters would be on their *palms*, not their fingers (unless they are female ofcourse)
Remember, most Nintendo players are teenage boys... doesnt take too much to figure....
What most people dont realize is that companies *do not* patent stuff like this. You couldnt patent the genome if you wanted to. What companies patent are *processes*, that is, these guys might be able to patent the process by which they are mapping the human genome, but not the genome itself. Amazon has not patented 'clicking on a button to buy something', but rather the process behind it to turn this click into the product arriving at your door.
Some of this stuff is still ridiculous, but deserves some thought before spewing the usual 'Ive just patented air!' type response. Air you cannot patent. A process that turns air into usable fuel most certainly would be.
Seriously, Perth misses out on alot... it is *the* most isolated city in the world. The closest city is actually in South Africa I believe:)
We actually have had KISS visit here 3 times (1980,1995,1998) so I think its about time one of those Linux conference thingies happened here. We have the best beer (do *not* drink Victorian stuff, its camel piss) and the best women...
Besides, I couldnt make it to the Sydney one... and Id like to take some of my co-workers (VMS and NT zealots) to show them that Linux *is* supported and its not 'just a hackers OS full of hype'...
While having Office on Linux would be nice (not that Id use it, but Im sure alot of others would) we do not need Office to *legitimize* linux in anyone's eyes. Microsoft have already *legitimized* linux by way of their constant FUD attacks and 'linux myths' pages. Even the quote in this article from an MS-Droid, stating that Linux is not a robust enough platform reeks...all of this tallies up to the fact that MS are shakin in their boots... Linux is now a very *legitimate* force on the OS playing-field, even in MS' eyes.
Hemos and cmdrtaco are behind all the DoS attacks, so they have nothing to fear from themselves:)
shhhh... dont tell anyone...
as a side note, we should partition the different types of attacks under other names: DoS, LiNuX, WiNdOwS,Os2 etc will become widely known acronyms for Script Kiddies.

Piss off SCO, you lose.
Just do what some guy did here (Perth, Western Australia) a few years ago.
Just walk into the army barracks, drive out in a tank, drive it up the main freeway towards the city etc
Just be sure to learn to secure the hatch properly. This guy didnt, and ended up with a smoke grenade in his lap...

They are talking thru their fucking hats again
If someone introduced themselves as Aimee Drumheller, I wouldnt care which university they went to. I would already be shitting my pants laughing.
I know I'll burn what karma I have, but I have to say it
What a complete fucken dickhead... someone oughta smack him in the mouth
Thanks, I feel better already
You cant say just anything you want about a company....it just isnt right.

By the way, Microsoft suck big ones....
