This is the third time in this discussion I've seen references to Australia's ways.
(FWIW IMHO every personal site in oz should get something.state.au like lazybeam.qld.au for small $, or yourname.yourcity.state.au for free, much like the.us. How hard is that?)
Anyway I saw a list of number of registrations in each tld, and IIRC.au was in the top ten. Just goes to show.
FWIW, the cost of GrowZone is ~$2.85/hr, including GST (grr) [$AU1 = ~60cUS]. Or other options. So that is a little high, but considering it would otherwise be STD or a 1900 number (Big Pond has (had?) this plus a separate charge!) Laying all that cable is expensive, plus the charges they pay their ISP (Telstra). --
An inch is the outer part of a man's thumb, 25.4 millimeter to be exact
Actually, its 25.4 millimetres. A meter is a device to show the value of something, often voltages.... Damn Americans....
[BTW: And, isn't it more sensible: 1000 millimetres to a metre. 1000 metres to a kilometre. Your forebears had the right idea with metric money, but didn't carry it far enough.]
This post [outside the square brackets] was meant to be funny, but I'm told I'm not very good with sarcasm. --
Thanks, but it makes little difference. The reason I did it was because I noticed the modem light flashing when it shouldn't.
One thing I found gozilla seems to be generating traffic - even when it isn't running on the w98 box. Uninstalling it got rid of traffic to aureate.com addresses.
This is a common part (don't know where it starts): 23:16:24.650826 202.138.47.26.520 > 203.134.100.32.520: rip-resp 13: [family 65535: 0002 7269 7000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000](0)[|rip] (frag 14717:272@0+) 23:16:24.690826 202.138.47.26 > 203.134.100.32: (frag 14717:240@272) 23:16:24.690826 203.134.100.32 > 202.138.47.26: (frag 2204:4@272) [tos 0xc0] 23:16:24.690826 203.134.100.32 > 202.138.47.26: icmp: 203.134.100.32 udp port 520 unreachable (frag 2204:272@0+) [tos 0xc0]

If you log everything, it would take quite a bit of room, as well as system resources.
Just for fun I tried tcpdump -i ppp0 on my linux box, and it totally flooded the screen, even with nothing downloading. Is this normal? I've never done this before... --
Humane alternatives to silk include nylon, milkweed seed pod fibers, silk-cotton tree and ceiba tree filaments, and rayon.
Doesn't nylon and rayon come from hydrocarbons? Which come out of the ground, and the act of mining will upset the habitat of some animals... I don't know what those other things are, but it looks like taking them could hurt the food supply of something. Everything is a case of "robbing Peter to pay Paul".
Later on:
Luckily, many sweeteners are made without killing bees: Rice syrup, molasses,...
Molasses is a by-product of sugar. Sugar comes from sugar-cane. Sugar-cane farmers often set their cane on fire, to get rid of all the unwanted rodents etc living in the field. (Only the leaves burn; the "good stuff" is untouched) So even this is not animal-friendly.
Reminds me of FUD we experience from "you know where". --
Why not a limit on the number of diomain names that can be registered to any individual, company or organization. Phuck anybody who needs more than one or two TLD names.
In Australia (and probably most other ccTLDs) one can only have one name for the company, plus it has to have something to do with the company. Plus it has to be a company. No lazybeam.net.au for me.. Plus it has to be [com|net|org|asn].au
And.oz would be cool:-) Even.oz.au wouldn't suck too much. --
They (Borland) wants you to pay them money so you are able to distribute the source. Sounds fair enough. (Although it would be nice to have free programs from a "free" builder)

I didn't know the USQ had the retrictions. I thought you guys just wanted to get away from USQ to show its not just for students.

I personally pronounce GNU as "g-nu" anyway. :-)
