  1. Re:No worries mate ! on Aussie Company Releases Xbox Mod-Chip Designs · · Score: 1

    But real Aussies drive Holden(GM) Commodores...

  2. TMNT on Remember The Wizard? · · Score: 1

    I saw the movie, but I was more excited about the trailer for the Teenafe mutant ninja turtle movie trailer in the previews.

  3. Fox News on 4l-j4z333ra 0wn3d · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now if people did the same to Fox News the world would be a better place.

  4. Re:The media wants quick answers on Updated Information On Columbia Shuttle Tragedy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But the Media is scum. That want a person to blame, they want to put a face to the problem and then spend the next 6 months camped out in front of this persons house and do specials on this person "secret sex and drug life." The media is trash even with the facts in front of them.

  5. Re:Thank God... on Superbowl XXXVII · · Score: 1

    speaking of time, how can a one hour game take three hours. This game would be much better if it was more free flowing like other football codes around the world.

  6. What does this $500k to 1000K actually cover? on How Much Does it Cost to Produce a Recording? · · Score: 1

    Is it just the recording of tracks, punching them to CD's and putting them in fancy packaging?

    Or does that also include video clip, advertisment, and paying your way to the top of the charts? I hope not, when I pay for a music cd, i'm paying for a copy of the tracks, not the added bullshit that does nothing for me.

  7. Re:Question on Wireless Internet Launched on Lufthansa FRA - IAD · · Score: 1

    A meter is a device to measure something, like a water or gas meter.

    A metre is a unit of measurement.

  8. The Movie Industry could help themselves. on Hollywood Muscles Aussie ISPs Over Movie Downloading · · Score: 1

    If they released most of the movies in Australia at the same time they release them in the US, less people would download them if they didn't have to wait so long for them to be released.

    As of yet, Star Trek: Nemesis still hasn't been released in Aussie theaters. and they keep pushing the date back.

  9. Re:Glad Duke Nukem is taking forever.. on Wired News: 2002's Greatest Vaporware · · Score: 1

    I couldn't care any less about this game. The developers need to decide whats in the project and freeze it at that.

    What they decided what would be in the game four years ago is out of date. Right now they are probably playing catch up, and removing orginal features to implement new ones.

    The game should have been released years ago. We could be up to Duke Nuken 5 or 6 now.

  10. Re:Linux is not going to get users to "move" ..... on 2003: Year of Linux in Asia? · · Score: 1, Troll

    Those potential users would love fresh water, sewer and electricity connected to the their residence before they could even care about computers, email or any other luxeries.

  11. Re:"Linux Advocate" on The Age Interviews Linux Advocate Rick Moen · · Score: 2, Funny

    I have a friend who knows someone whos uncle's step-son once saw linux and said he liked it. Might submit that story to slashdot.

  12. Re:Mad Max 4- on New Mad Max Film · · Score: 1

    I remember watching on TV a while a go that the Mad Max fan club (which involves the Feral Kid) have there own look-a-like interceptor in working condition.

  13. Re:Differing opinion on Seeking Interesting Sites When Travelling the World? · · Score: 1

    They won't let you take anything up that isn't properly secured and approved by them. It's to stop butter fingers from dropping things onto the road and cars below. Dropping anything from that height is dangerous.

    The price does include a free group photo and the guide will take extra photos upon request, which really aren't that expensive.

    I'm pretty sure the high price include insurance. I imagine it will cost heaps to insure such an attraction, specially since people like to sue each other for tripping over their own feet these days.

  14. Sydney Harbour Bridge on Seeking Interesting Sites When Travelling the World? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Don't just look at it walk across it. Walk over it! The tour guides know their stuff, they'll tell you lots of intresting things about its contruction: why it hasn't rusted away, how it supports itself, and how many rivets were used.

    Some of the best money I have spent.

  15. so... on Only Thieves Block Pop-Ups · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What can I do on the internet that isn't illegal these days?

    Soon there will be warning messages when connecting to the internet: "You have connected to the internet. This is in violation of blah blah blah. Disconnect now"

    Firewire has hit the mainstream?

    You think they could sue for the stress cause by lack of internet?

    Computers have feelings too.

    I dont know about you, but I hug mine all the time.

  19. Re:good ol' campus LANs on UCSB Bans Windows NT/2000 in the Dorms · · Score: 1

    That reminds me of college a few years ago. Some silly little kid thought he would send a message to his friend next to him, instead he sent it to every computer. Of course the address was included in the message. (The address included building, room and the computer number.)

    Within 1 minute that kid was out of the class and had half a dozen teachers and admin staff looking down on him. His face had drained of all blood and I think he needed a change of underwear.

    ... and when they do, can you sue Sim McDonald's for forcing their sim products down your sim throat?

  21. Re:Terrorists checks are just a placebo on How Has Post-9/11 Legislation Affected You? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The best part after all the checks and searches is eating your inflight meal with metal knives and forks provided by the airline.

    Although I did get plastic cuttlery on one airline, even they could do a fair amount of damage.

  22. Re:In New Zealand on How Has Post-9/11 Legislation Affected You? · · Score: 1

    Last decemeber I went to Mexico city(via L.A) from Sydney.

    Leaving Sydney: Go thru immigration, then X-ray and bag search. Before I could get near the Gate Lounge I had my bag searched again and x-rayed.

    On the way home from L.A to Sydney. Line up for hours at check in. Ask help to get thru secruity or I would miss my flight, since that line was out the door. ( The soldiers were amusing. They were so bored and about to fall asleep they looked like they would shoot us all for something to do.) Once I got thru secruity. I ran to my gate and on to the plane. It was 10:30pm. and the plan left at 10:30. Got to my seat, but not without some death stares. Then they annouce that the flight will be delayed an hour because some people missed their flights(stuck in security no doubt) and their bags will have to be removed. Still got in Sydney on time tho.

    Exactly right. MS aren't the best company out there. A lot of their practices suck, but if their wasn't a MS it would just be someone else. Every industry has their badboy(s).
