I thought IE prime function was to cause me to loose hours of sleep writing CC code to fix up for the lack of standards, something my clients really won't pay for. So I guess I'll keep using IE 7 for that and ignore IE8 totally. But here is hoping anyone stupid enough to use IE updates to 8 immediately. Should we congratulate MS for taking 20 years to create a standards browser? Oh whoppie MS you are clever.
And people wonder why I think the best way to secure peace is to get rid of the US...
We don't need to get rid of the US, that is a tad unkind, all we have to do is enlighten them. The solution is simple increase the maximum tax rate to 80% and all the selfish pricks will leave, normal people with take over, arms will be turned into plow shears (health care and welfare) and it will be jobs done ready to serve.
Now there is a pack of pricks that should be laid on a water bed full of petrol with free cigarettes...
They own MM because MM couldn't afford any more time in court. Why that wasn't stopped as being a monopoly is amazing.
They invent a plugin format for image editors and once everyone is using it the encrypt the format so it only works with their products.
If ever there was software that should be cracked it's theirs!
"People who claim we can't influence climate should be locked up in a garage with a running engine."
Actually if the car is running unleaded and has a catalytic converter there is no carbon monoxide, few people who do this die.
Where as if you tried to load windows on a z the system admin would most certainly kill you!
According to Google I'm 'the vampire killer'. On Thursday, I googled a friend I haven't seen in 15 years, found him on Linkedin and on Friday night we had dinner and 3 bottles of wine. (There was a lot to talk about) Not being too anonymous has some advantages. It's not all negative.
"a massive social engineering/data mining study" -- So now we can prove that "I'm classy and I say fuck", that "1 million people don't give a fuck that Michael Phelps smoked weed", that I care enough about my friends to send them "crap presents", that "drop bear awareness" is an important issue, at least to Australians... and so it goes on. Gezz great we have proved that we are not as stuck up on rules as those who try to rule us believe. Maybe the "massive social engineering/data mining" might prove to be a good thing for humanity. (And thanks to Firefox and Adblocker we can even give their advertising the two fingers.) So the stats they generate mostly for the purpose of selling their own advertising are flawed to the max. GAWD I came out as gay at 17 and told the world to get fuck. It's just another chance to tell the hegemony to get fucked again. And 34,632 people think I'm still classy.
I've seen this soup in Bali. It's millions of plastic bags used to hold tea that are then disposed of in the gutter, then flushed out of the drains in wet season. Fully disgusting. What better method of disposal will solve that problem... a bin? Don't assume this is plastic coming from the developed world where developed world solutions can be applied.
Start with Blackboard... you want that out no matter what. Go for Moodle. The rest are just minor apps you can rack them off whenever.
Next is IE that has to go.
Next Outlook >Thunderbird
Move workstations to Linux and put any Windows apps on an application server. If they have to use them they still can.
There isn't a lot of point in replacing Windows with Macs so give all the Macs to a charity.
Too bad if they don't like Open Office they will get used to it and very likely 95% of everyone don't use the features in MS Office anyway.
If you need something else just get the computer department to set that as an assignment, make the students do it.
Likely there are SQL server that will need to be replaced with mySQL.
When the Blackboard rep comes in offering to buy lunch put a few eees in his wine then introduce him to the vice chancellor. Any MS rep you can usually offer a joint, listen to how stressed he is and get an incriminating photograph. If the Adobe rep arrives just say you have not budget, they won't be offering any freebies.
Job done!
"What about that safe, no one knows the combination?"... "Chuck it out then." "It might have plutonium in it." "Don't be ridiculous... we need to make space for additional admin staff to comply with the new regulations on radioactive substance control."
As gay man I thank God i didn't marry any of my BFs! I've never got to keep the dogs or cats without marriage. Maybe I could have demanded visiting rights?
People who live together should have whatever status they require to feel secure. Just don't go asking me to 'marry you'!
"Dude, it's Germany..."
It's also Australia...
And China and every state known for restricting political or religious freedoms.
Trouble is it doesn't work for the Chinese as the population just use proxy servers at encrypt data. And it's not going to work anywhere else.
If these systems were so successful spam would have been eliminated. Instead spam filters add to internet delivery failure of valid information.
The Australian system is not even capable of opt out provisions.
I see... land mines, nuclear missiles, a variety of air strike abilities including cruise missiles, the floating nuclear reactors and their strike power... not enough.
They need to eliminate those black privates from the battle field so that their mums don't protest.
What year are we going to learn the lesson! American Military Machine has pushed the country to the point of bankruptcy. That's not enough for them they need to make war doable and efficient. Increase the cost of hardware and line their own pockets.
What OS are they going to run? Windows? Or something more 'friendly' a Mac OS. I think maybe a Mac OS and if they malfunction and a bomb comes up on the screen, they can then explode.
You can't develop or manufacture weapons without the participation of people. If you put all the resources spent internationally into a creative field we would be living in heaven on Earth. The cost of war is never calculated to include the opportunities lost.
http://www.nationalpriorities.org/costofwar_home
The War in Iraq Costs $574,500,000,000 and counting.
At a guess since WW2 we must be talking $20,000,000,000,000 or some other totally stupid number.
This is an investment with a nil return. The same cash put into something that generated a true return wouldn't be lost to the system but expand our wealth on Earth.
American's might have free heath care. Australia might have retained its leading scientists, education would be free to every nation, fusion reactors deployed... What has been lost is truly unknown we can only say that it is greater than a totally stupid number X compound interest.
IE we have lost the opportunity for heaven on Earth for generations to come. How ###### up is that! VERY x POWER OF A TOTALLY STUPID NUMBER ###### UP!

If only they choose Optus. They are owned by 'Singtel' famous for spying on customers. But then again if it required a phone call they would need a specialist in Indian English > English skills with the patience of a God and a year to spend on hold.
Anyone know a bookie taking odds on how long it will be before he is shot?
America is just too stupid to appreciate the value of social welfare. Such concepts as a pension at 65, health care without bankruptcy or taking responsibility for unemployment are beyond the US imagination.
Nor is any world concern for a tax system which distorts international taxation. (IE why do you think Murdock left Australia... better weather?)
But don't worry when push comes to shove the US has plenty of guns in circulation to deal with those who have a social conscious.
I suggest moving to a gated community in fantasy land and simplifying the issue to "the problem with this country is that black women have too many babies."

RMIT offer a several subject on Java through Open Uni (Australia) www.open.edu.au that can be accessed anywhere in the world.
The units are about $700 and the first is based around Savitch - Absolute Java. The advanced unit uses one of the Liang books... http://www.prenhall.com/liang/
Java is a great teaching language. It's the warm up to other things. Despite learning it I'd really prefer never to use it. Here is hoping Jaxer takes off!

Maybe we could divert some of the cash being spent on unnecessary drug testing to supply free HIV tests to the developing world.
Then again you could add HIV to virtual sex in Second Life. Wouldn't that kill the fun for some.
I'm not in New York, Washington, Paris or London... Surely the real threat to me here in Brisbane Australia is not from a terrorist but from a launch by a superpower.
F### terrorist BS the biggest threat to our safety comes from the US Military and a failure to push for total disarmament! All stock plies of Nukes do is encourage others to do the same. The real threat is that collectively the weapon states have such big and now old stockpiles that an accident is far more likely than a terrorist attack of destroying the Planet.
No terrorist has the ability to destroy the world. The US does! This BS is no more than propaganda for additional spending on military and a reduction in civil rights by a country that is too brainwashed to even have a popular revolt on free health care.
There is simply no need to maintain, produce and certainly not deploy these weapons. If the US had pumped the same amount of cash into Iraq as they spent on blowing the place up we could have had a very different outcome. Instead they have polluted the country with DU and turned it into a literal mad house. At massive cost to everyone including the world environment.
99% of the world would be unaffected by the minimal amount of nukes any terrorist group could ever get their hands on. 100% of the world is very definitely at risk from existing weapons. And the US sets the same example here that they do with their own country's health care.
Suck up to the industrialists and BS the population into believing this is the only way forward.
Smoke and mirrors...

That is easy you turn it into pellets and use a rail gun to throw it at the sun. I thought we all knew that! ;)

Doesn't it turn you into a giggling mess masturbating in the corner 24/7? No? It's never worked on me and I've tried really hard to overdose!
Do the Reefer Mad ask the same question x90 in one hour? If not that it's preferable.
