  1. Re:$800 bucks? Is it diamond encrusted? on Build an $800 Gaming PC · · Score: 2, Insightful

    but how much is x360 + netbook + tv?

  2. Re:ANZAC? on An Australian Space Agency At Last? · · Score: 1

    also a google search reveals http://www.anzac.edu.au/index.php?section=3. Its located in Australia and there is no way anyone here would use that acronym randomly.

  3. Re:ANZAC? on An Australian Space Agency At Last? · · Score: 1

    we just had an ANZAC rugby league test which while the same month as ANZAC day is certainly not on ANZAC day. You are probably right that in an official/government capacity it is kept for military co-operation.

  4. Re:ANZAC? on An Australian Space Agency At Last? · · Score: 1

    ANZAC has been used to describe co-operation between AU and NZ fairly regularly for as long as I can remember. That said ANZSA could work.

  5. please forgive the base humour on Zipingpu Dam May Have Triggered the Sichuan Quake · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    hehehe zipping poo hehehe

  6. Paying for Vista SP2? on In-Depth With the Windows 7 Public Beta · · Score: 1

    If I had bought vista I would be annoyed that what sounds like a few minor changes is being sold as a whole new os. Vista was not popular because it offered no clear benefit over xp. Why would people want to pay for something that has no clear benefit over vista.

  7. Re:Is this that important ? on Attempt To "Digitalize" Beatles Goes Sour · · Score: 1

    I am not sure what I would do if mozart were alive I am not really interested in classical music but I would probably go to a concert. My wife is a pianist and would definitely be keen

    If someone were to do a beatles show that was more thought out then just playing covers and it got good reviews I would think $40-60.

    For a simple cover band I would drink in a pub with a beatles cover band over one with a generic cover band.

  8. Re:Is this that important ? on Attempt To "Digitalize" Beatles Goes Sour · · Score: 1

    fair point, but Mozart would not have actually performed his own music so it is not quite the same thing. There was a guy who did a john lennon show called "looking through a glass onion" in Australia at least maybe 10 years ago. I would probably consider that for $40 even though I would probably be in a minority of the people I know for that.

  9. Re:Is this that important ? on Attempt To "Digitalize" Beatles Goes Sour · · Score: 1

    Among my social group (ages 24-27) I would say at least half of us would be willing to spend in the $100s of dollars range to see the beatles and some of us might think about going to a mozart if it were $20.

  10. Re:People get the government they deserve on Australian Government Censorship 'Worse Than Iran' · · Score: 1

    and when there are no candidates "who will not pull this kind of crap"?

  11. Re:All this sounds nice, but there's another side. on Ford To Introduce Restrictive Car Keys For Parents · · Score: 1

    I am pretty sure that in australia the government already restricts all cars to 170km/h

  12. Re:Rental only on Playstation 3 Video DRM Only Allows One Download · · Score: 1

    if you buy a dvd from a store and your dvd player breaks, should you not expect it work on your new dvd player?

  13. Re:Bah! on All Your Coffee Are Belong To Us · · Score: 1

    you can't get Espresso in any other part of the world? Perhaps Italian coffee us the best however shouldn't an espresso from anywhere have a similar water/coffee ratio? Also I thought Turkish coffee was supposed to have a particularly high ratio.

  14. Re:ONLY GOOD THINGS COME OUT OF IT!!! on MSN Music DRM Servers Going Dark In September · · Score: 1

    I am utterly pleased with MS decision to shut down the DRM servers. Know why? There are people that don't realise how bad are DRM downloads until they get royally fucked in the ass and this is what's going to happen on sept 1 2008. Nothing educates more than a bad experience. wouldn't someone have to have actually used the service to learn the lesson though. If it had been successful they wouldn't be shutting it down. Are enough people going to be effected by this to mean anything?
  15. Re:Going to have to partially agree Mary Bono on Berners-Lee Speaks Out Against DRM, Advocates Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    i don't think it is an accurate description at all. With a speed limit a driver is told the limit and then chooses to obey it or to break. If the driver is caught breaking the limit they then face fines. the model Berners-Lee suggested seems to reflect this. If users are aware of what they are allowed to do (the speed limit) they are considered responsible if they do otherwise (claiming not to know the speed limit is not an excuse for speeding)
