Uh, yeah, so why bother even associating it with unlimited? You can't compare it with the so-called 'unlimited' deals in North America so it is a bit stupid to have a price comparison without looking at what you get.
1.3GB per day. That is just *slightly* better than Telstra's 100MB per day (ie, 3GB per MONTH).
I wouldn't really care about a bandwidth cap (ie 128kpbs throttle) if there was no massive monetary penalty for exceeding Telstra's fixed download limit of 3GB. As it is, 20c per MB over 3GB.
Maybe I should move to New Zealand. Hey, it isn't even very far.
Hmm. That was 1995-1997, I think. And I believe it was GWB & Co who gave the Taleban the money ($US 45 million) for dismantling the opium production, earlier this year (May, I think).
But I do think you perhaps missed the point I was trying to make. There *are* similar laws here.
Why shouldn't we be able to have a men-only club? Why shouldn't we be able to have a women-only club? Why shouldn't we be able to have a Nobel-prize-winnning-physicists-only club? Of course, then we'll be able to have white-only or black-only clubs... in all probably based on racial hatred. Is this why we have these laws?
But we do have these exclusive hate-based groups. Outlawing discrimination in the name of stopping intolerance or hatred will not get rid of intolerance or hatred anymore than outlawing Internet porn will stop people from viewing it. You will only end up suffocating society with silly laws. Yes, this is a worldwide problem.
Well, I can certainly see your point, but I don't think you should outlaw what someone can put on their job advertisement. Speaking of censorship and heavy government...
Religious schools continue to publish -openly- that the successful candidate for publicly advertised non-teaching positions (for example, IT Technician) "must be committed members of a Christian church".
Err, what is wrong with that? Should a private organisation be banned by legislation from doing this? Should they also not request that successful candidates have qualified IT skills? Being a Christian is probably part of the job, why shouldn't it be part of the description?

I hate with the darkest and deepest of hatred the users of all these super clicky keyboards.
I haven't seen a tiger do that either. :)
That is the implementation.

Move to Adelaide? Come on! It isn't far :)
:)
Heheh, I'm sorry

That 3GB is per month, too. Some people get that confused with daily.
That is NOT unlimited. It has a fucking 3 GB limit with 20 cents per MB after. For $80 per month. At 512/128 kbps.
rather than see a linux conference in a nation not renowned for it's linux developers.
Uhm, right.
I think what was intended was a comment about trying to address the root of the problem - why people feel the need or desire to:
[inject themselves with chemicals | explode themselves in school busses].
Hmm. That was 1995-1997, I think. And I believe it was GWB & Co who gave the Taleban the money ($US 45 million) for dismantling the opium production, earlier this year (May, I think).
Well, that'd be four years, now.
Slashdot evolved from Chips 'n Dips in 1997... September or around then.
Except if you live in Australia where Telstra and competitors will probably still be charging $0.20 per megabyte in 15 years time.
They had to wear a uniform.
Oh my God! School uniforms? How terrible!
In fact, I quite enjoy living here, thank you.
Since ca. 1970, in fact. (Was Gates even born then? I wasn't.)
Err, yes. Unless he founded Microsoft when he was 5 years old.
Christmas Island: 10 30' South
Woomera: 31.10 S
Cape Canaveral: (drumroll) 28.45 N.
Florida is about as far north as the center of Australia is south.
... and if a rocket crashes in the center of Autralia, does it make a sound?

The irony contained in the word 'licence' just breaks down your whole argument, you fucknut
Hmmmmmm.
Ask Rob about J*va Invaders.
In Islam the parents are held responsible for the care and education of their children more so than in Christianity or Judaism.
You don't know much about Christianity, correct?
I would say that if there were a Christian government in America they would probably go around banning things just like this.
As usual, Slashdot has applied its typically American/Christian/Agnostic/Atheist mentality to the affairs of another country.
The Christian and "Agnostic/Atheist" mentalities have almost nothing in common.
Its only real advantage is that it's easy to let someone out if it turns out they didn't do the crime - it's kinda harder to unwhip or unkill
Yeah, but you can't give them the ten years of their life back.
