    Conroy is not the biggest - he is one of many. Only 30% of the population support Labor (an organisation that can't even spell its own name correctly). A large percentage of the population dispise and detest them. However, short of civil inssurection, how the hell do you get rid of them? The people can't call an election and they have taken away our guns.

    "apparent taste for the extinct giant red deer" It is interesting to ponder how they had a taste for an extinct animal...perhap my grammar is out of date.

    Yes, but sometimes they do understand but people think they don't understand because they think if you're smart you don't say you understand but that shows you don't understand when you do.....I think...I understand?

  12. Re:Dumbest fucking idea evar on Japan Creates Earthquake-Proof Levitating House System · · Score: 4, Insightful

    To move a large amount of air requires a large compressor. This is usually powered by electricity. Power often fails in earthquakes.....or does the system come with an instant start generator. You would have thought that they learnt from the recent tsumami. If the standby generators for the pumps of the nuclear reactor had been on the top floor instead of the basement, there may not have been a nuclear crisis. Generators don't like being drowned in salt water.

  13. Re:progress on Australia's Telstra Requires Fibre Customers To Use Copper Telephone · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I suggest you don't live here. There are many parts of Australia where Telstra is the only supplier. their mandate, aparrt from making money, is to provide communications to all of Austrlaia. Most of the other companies suck in rural and outback areas. It there was an alternative, that would be called competition.

    "concepts of current email systems - to, from, cc" It would be amusing to see how he arrived at "Carbon Copy" for an electronic message. Carbon paper over the monitor screen? Methinks the concepts were there before he used them.

  18. Re:No improvement over the current setup on UN Pushes Plan To Assume Internet Governance Role · · Score: 1

    This situation shouldn't be happening. There should be no bureaucratic control over the Internet, let alone under the auspices of the UN. The UN is one of the most corrupt and inefficient organisations on the planet. It espouses global government under a select elite. I wouldn't trust it to manage my grocery list, let alone the Internet.

    "sprint for one minute" You must be joking. Most people can't sprint for 10 seconds, let alone 60.

  20. Re:Evidence on What Happens To Your Files When a Cloud Service Shuts Down? · · Score: 1

    That's the trouble with any outsourcing - aka "cloud", you ultimately have no control of what happens to your data. If the government siezes it, it may well be lost to you forever but is available to the governmant and its agencies should they wish to dissect your data. If the outsourcer goes bankrupt, there are no guarantees that their disks will be wiped before they are sold off. Even if outsourced data is highly encrypted, local backups are mandatory - but only if your data is important to you.

  21. Re:Communications Skills on Two-Thirds of Lost USB Drives Carry Malware · · Score: 1

    Agreed but..."passel" is a posh American corruption introduced by nasal congestion and definitely not a new word, just bad spelling by phonetics. A bit like coral parlips.

  25. Re:L.C.D on Apple Takes Action Over Australian Logos · · Score: 3, Funny

    Semantics and not really relevant to the topic but...If one believes in a balanced distribution, then one would refer to "mean". However, if the distribution is skewed, then the "median" would be more relevant. Since the distribution typically follows a Bell curve, then "mean" should be used. However, I think the Bell curve has gone rather pear shaped, so perhaps "median" could be used. Pick your own "average".
