Well Looks like im the Only one in Oz to have problems with SMS.
I'm with Optus and I've had a few SMS' disappear into the ether...same with my girlfriend. I sent her a SMS at 2:30pm saying that I'd pick her up in 1hr....she got it at 10:00am the next morning.
I Live in Sydney, and i've seen one of these machines bout 3 months ago outside a really crappy little supermarket in Frenches Forest. It is about half the Size of a person, the one i saw was blue and red. It had two CD Drives, top one is the reader, bottom one is the burner, only does CD-R no re-writeable.i was bored and had money to play around with so i gave it a go. worked fine.
The only bad thing is you have to stand there for ten minutes while it burns, i think they should have a little screen with something to do like a version of pong even!!
That'll show big business what the old-timers can do! I reckon as punishment, BT should have to listen to one of his stories about either his long walks to school, duking german bullets and hiding from japanese commandos, or about the time he took a walk in the park, then went on the ferry and found a dime, that dime looked......
The Pain will be never ending... Death to Stupid Lawsuits!!!!

Who is Sir Donald Bradman Indeed! Ok It may just be that im australian, but Sir Donald Bradman is one of the Australias most famous cricketers. Born in 1908 in SA (south australia) , with a test average of 99.94, and in all the tests in which he played, in he scored a total of close to 7000 runs.
Sadly Sir Don passed away in august 2000. he was made a Companion of the Order of Australia. one of may great australians. but then I guess most Americans wouldnt know of him, let alone Cricket.
I live in Australia as well and the first indication i got was a Post on Slashdot. I thought it was just a small private plane that had smashed into the side of the WTC. that itself is a disaster as alot of damage woudl have been done, but then after flicking on the TV and watching the Live feed on CNN and then changing channels to see what was on and tuned in just in time to see the second plane smash straight into the Second tower. i was then up till 2 watching what was happening. My mum reckons its the start of WW3.
At work thsi morning we are watching whats happening on TV and the really sad thing is that the Pictures on the Sydney Morning Herald are ours. i makes me sick to think that someone coudl do this to so many innocent people. Martyn Bryant was only one nutjob who had a gun. But this is a whole heap of people with a belief and if you ask me thats more deadly than a screwball with a gun, simply becuase the ones with the belief will do anything.
All my thoughts go out to those who are trapped and the familys of those people and the people aboard the planes. Johnny Howard already said that we woudl give whatever aid we could, and although we havent got much in the way of Military aid, we still have the ability to help track down the spineless bastards who did this.
I Tracert'ed my connection to slashdot and i go out via the pacific. But im using optus@home so that could be the reason (as a previous poster said, the line is owned by optus) --------------
did you know we kicked out all our trash from the UK to actually make you dirty lads?
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA you British are all the Same. You use us as human sheilds and when we prove ourselves time and time again you just bitch about us Anonymously. As The French in Monty Python Say "you silly English k-nnnnniggets. Thpppppt! Thppt! Thppt!"
Dont get me wrong most pommies i havent got a problem with, but as with ALL races on this world there are a few idiots, guess what, this bloke is one of them. and please i really dont need to hear about your sheep fantasies.
As to what we are called, well im guess that due to your post you arnt, so to speak, as sharp as a knife, so i will enlighten you. We are called Australians, now i know thats hard to understand, out you'll come to understand it eventually.

Well reading this article really does get me thinking. If a Bunch of Scientits can sell T-Shirts, Coffee Mugs etc which are based around a plant which smells like a decompossing corpse, maybe my dream can finally be realiesed
::Que Sappy Marketing Campaign::
"Here at Ashamans dunny welcome you to the 5th annual Dunny Bloom. Now in 5 Mins the Door will open and The Toilet will be in full bloom"
::sounds of toilet flushing::
"Ahhh Theres a ripper!!"
"Look at that bloom everyone thats the best one we've had for years, the overflow is so...intense!"
Hey if they Can market a Flower which smells like a dead body, why cant i market a Overflowing toilet???

Placebos have been something which have been descirbed for every psychological problem since their development. Peole with Depression, Anxiety and christ they probalby tried to give them to ppl with terminal illness'. As i see it, there are 3 possiblities to explain this research
1.The Researchers where high on Crack when doing this and wrote down the lotto numbers on teh reaserch paper instead of the ticket
2. The Human body, given the volume that people have recived over the years, is developing an Immunity to Placebo's. THis could be evident by trialing people who's direct relatives took placebos and monitoring their effects. I mean the human body is an organism, and like how virus's are adapting to antibiotics nowadays, so obviously we may start to develop an immuntity to these drugs (after years of abuse i think im becoming immune to the life-extending effects of caffeine!)
3. That maybe, placebos never worked. that this miracle drug simply triggered a self-help switch in the brain. The pills themselves made the person think that this drug would make them less anxious or whatever and the brain reacted tho these thoughts by actually doing what the person wanted, by calming down the sectors of the brain which where mucking up. so simply these pills where just a "ignition spark" to fire up the brains self fixing process.
This is pretty cool, now instead of spray and wipe it will be just, well, wipe!
It says that . This action is a chemical reaction that probably would not allow the bacteria to develop a resistance, such as happens with antibiotics but, what happens if they DO start to resist it. If you ask me its like Humans and Guns. When first made, anyone who had them was God-Like. But Now we humans have developed a FORM of resistance to the humble bullet (kevlar jackets etc) so while being cool and magic and space age, im not so sure if it such an amazingly good idea if we completly chuck away all the methods used for sterilization before this Miracle Polymer was invented

Wasnt it that it could take 100tons of Weapons/Ammo/Armor plating/heatsinks, not the actual weight of the mech?
The Box is bigger and Scarier.
FW800, Optical Line in, Crappy Little Speaker, The "Ability" to install up to 4G of RAM, PCI Slots, Extra Internal HD Bay.
But I agree with you, I'd rather the iMac over the PMG5 1.8 Single any given Sunday.
