This is the one time that I get annoyed by living closish to the equator (27 degrees south).
Anyone want to claim the "closest to the equator aurora" award ?
Here in Australia, this happens already with Office 2K (or at least the one bought off the shelf:) ). If you don't have a net connection, then you get to ring up the nice Microsoft rep. Office invents this huge string and the rep gives you the response to it. Luckily the MSDN version of Office isn't crippled in this way. Perhaps the same will hold true for Whistler ?
Why not just put www.nytimes.com into your hosts file with an ip of 208.48.26.223 (the ip for channel.nytimes.com). That way all links would take you there even when the article doesn't link there directly. Of course it won't work very well with a proxy but I digress.
I was thinking, how hard would it be to make up another email whose payload is to change the security levels in Outlook to stop these kind of viruses. Before it does this, it would propagate the message to all of your contact list. There by you could immunise a great deal of the world and they wouldn't even realise. Of course they are now a lot less likely to actually double-click on the icon.
As a kid I LOOOOOOOOOOOVED Star Blazers and you can imagine my excitement when I saw the whole series in the local video store. I of course got it out and watched it. Unfortunately, my 25 year old brain interpreted it somewhat differently than my ~10 year old brain and I tainted my happy memories of one of my favourite cartoons. So think of the happy memories before you click.
Here's a question for the slashdot astronomy fraternity. What does the earth look like when viewed from the moon during a total lunar eclipse ? Has anyone ever seen a photo of that ?
Actually the hightly touted IE5 barfs quite often when I have moderater access It just cant hack all of those combo boxes and they end up sticking to the glass. I actually installed Netscape so I could moderate without going insane.
Actually in AU to register a.com.au you need to register a business name. Since these are all supposed to be unique, there should be no problems (in theory). But as for me, I've got a.cx domain so I hope no-one will bother me there.
Did anyone else notice that these are the same guys that have or had ftpsearch.ntnu.no before lycos got hold of it and there's gratuitous links to lycos all over their site. It's not just lycos in AllTheWeb.com clothing is it ?
Internet junkbuster is an excellent bandwidth saving product. It looks funny at work when I browse without it. I've become so used to not seeing ads. You really should check out http://www.waldherr.org/junkbuster. They have a modified version of ijb which is a lot cooler + they maintain an excellent, regularly updated blocklist.
Nope. Borland.com is now a division of Inprise. I mean what a stupid name INPRISE. I've always respected Borland for offering an alternative to M$ tools, but what a crummy name.
Does this mean more awful movies ?

Surely this will spawn a couple more movies about heroic Americans saving the earth from a terrible. No other country is capable of movie-heroism.

IIRC there should be a census in AU sometime this year.
On Telstra Bigpond Cable in AU, they've blocked the netbios ports at their routers. No using _MY_ harddrive !

For once I hoped we could have a NYTimes acticle without someone mentioning this, but not this time.

Can anyone tell me why the fastest link to the US comes out of Perth ?
Surely the east coast is closer.

Perhaps they should crash one of the mars orbiters into the pool and detect if there is water they by seeing a splash !

We really need a SlashBox(tm) for this one.
