    They know enough to see which direction the whole thing is heading. The intensity and speed of that assault against human rights and freedoms is irrelevant. Where jaw breaking police would not be tolerated, they have simply made a device that is able to cause intense pain, yet leave the populace uninjured.

    This device seems to be designed for controlling unarmed people, at a distance, possibly large crowds of them. "Riot control" could easily become "disperse the peaceful protest and knockoff for an early lunch".

    There is only one solution, Parental Eyes Put the PC in a public area if he cannot be trusted. Besides when I was a lad I got my hands on porn quite fine without the internet tyvm.

    Faith equals belief without proof, so he has faith. Therefore existence of god is a question of philosophy.

    He is a geek because he believes in science, he does not disbelieve when proof is presented to him.

    So he likely believes in the existence of god (without proof Aka :faith) But disbelieves that the Bible is proof of god because of its disproved (scientifically) events and paradoxes.

    Basically a geek believer in god accepts that his belief is scientifically irrational, yet still believes without evidence (faith).

    There is no disconnect with the rest of one's life, just live life to rationally logical set of morals. While belief in god requires faith it does not require religion. You are free to make your own judgment on what "logical set of morals" would be acceptable to the possible existence of a omnipresent and omnipotent being.

    We are still living under a monarch because at the referendum we had 2 options to vote on.

    1) keep the monarchy and current system

    2) politician voted president

    There was no three, although there should have been, a people voted president. That wasn't put on the ballot so all Australians were fucked over in that referendum. That is why we still live under a FUCKING MONARCHY!

  14. Re:Monopolies prevent this on Internet Blackout Threat for Music Thieves in AU · · Score: 1

    Even if Telstra was to cut off telephone access, optus has their own network infrastructure in metro areas.

    It would be problematic for them to implement this at best, with encryption and overseas anonymous proxies I hardly see how it would be possible to catch more than a few people.

    Yeah theres no lag because geographically distant locations like Australia are not playing it yet. Guaranteed at least 300ms to get a signal from here to the US. So there will be lag, just not yet, or not for you.

    Does anyone planning to buy a PS3 in Australia actually thing they will set up dedicated servers in our region that aren't Asian based? No racism intended its the whole language barrier thing.

    I have had no hassles upgrading my machine after numerous hardware upgrades. In fact i bought my OEM XP and the only hardware I have the same is my FDD. In order to buy an OEM I just had to purchase "hardware" I just told MS customer support I bought my XP with my FDD. Sure XP balks at the install the first time, I ring MS and I got the long ass code every time hassle free.

  18. There can be only one. on HellGate London To Be For-Pay Online Experience · · Score: 1

    We already pay two subscriptions in this house, for world of warcraft. It would take a very impressive game for us to switch. (and the other half would take a lot of convincing to pay an additional subscription for an online game.) I assume that this would be the same for at least half the 7.5 million subscribers.

    With burning crusade Xpac round the corner, a lot of people will be reactivating accounts also. I don't see many switching anytime soon.
