  1. Re:Go Oz... on SAPAC Unveils New Australian Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Adelaide....YOu guys got Coopers on Tap. as if people drink VB or Tooheys when you can have that. I'm living in England at the moment and all the pubs here have Kronenburg. But its the crappy English brewed stuff. The French stuff is much better. If you want nice beer try Belgian. I went there last week. Best beer ever. Try Primus, Jupiler or Stella. Or Leffe etc. So good.

    MMMMM Beer!

    Fair call. but would anyone outside Oz really know VB or Tooheys. FOsters is the Oz beer around the world. Just like Steinlager for NZ which I am reliably told but by Kiwi mates that no one drinks.

    Yep, I know. We just refer to them as Red and Green as its easier.

    Whats that game where you fire chickens at things. Its a bit old, I can't remember what it is. Maybe Earth Worm Jim.

    Being from Sydney I agree. What a hole. But they do have Coopers on tap everywhere.

    Hmmmmm Coopers Red...

  6. Go Oz... on SAPAC Unveils New Australian Supercomputer · · Score: 2, Funny

    Aim high, we build this whiz bang thing and its only No. 80 in the world. What happened to Aussies innovation. We used to be able to build these things out of old fosters cans.

  7. At least.... on NASA Launching Two Mars Rovers in June · · Score: 1

    They are doing something smart. Mars is going to be crowded place. I imagine that when we do finally get to mars we will be tripping over all the old landers.

    Go NASA/ESA/Whoever else. I wanna goto mars or at least the moon.

    What would be even weirder

    US leaves other countries alone

  9. Re:Stifled creativity? on Ballmer Sends Wakeup Call to Staff · · Score: 1

    The entire tech industry needs to flee the US (supposedly the land of the free) and head to Europe or something.

    Europes managed it except UK of course. they don't feel the need for a war every few years.

    Sweet maybe in a few millenia we will be able to drive right across to France for that cheap booze and cigarettes.

  12. Skins on Future Army Battle Uniforms - Wired, Lethal · · Score: 3, Funny

    DO you think it would allow the soldier to put their own skins on the enemy. Make them look like they are wearing a purple pokka dot bikini or something...

    but seriously how about not putting the money into armies and not having wars.

  13. Whats wrong with..... on Geocaching Crackdown? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Going for a good old fashion bushwalk/hike. All you need is a map and some water etc. No expensive equipment. You don't need a goal to marvel in the beauty of nature. Make that your goal to hike to somewhere new and beautiful like a secluded waterfall where you can go for a swim or a big hill with a view. HOw many of the geocaches actually stop to look at the enviroment they are walking through.

    While parks rangers are alwas trying to get people to the parks it ahs to be the right tyoe of people. 50,000 people to a park is good but not if they are the kind that trash the place. Like the 2 guys on jet skis on Sydney harbour who were rounding up the penguins and running over them. THis was after the penguins had returned for the frist time in 50 years or something.

  14. Please play this song on the radio!!! on Apple Wooing Smaller Labels · · Score: 1

    Bring on Fat Wreck Chords. One of the best and most innovative record companies. The bring out smaplers with about 20 songs on it and then stick a label on it saying (here in oz) 'Pay no more than $7 for this cd' which was cheap as chips. And the albums said no more than $20. THey have all the good punk bands. I love to be able to buy some NOFX tracks that were only on samplers etc.

    true. i just wanted to bring the US down a peg or 2. and yes I do know about there navy and the gold shps that made it to africa in 700AD or something

  16. A Big Circle on Rescue Mission For European Space Industry · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Its amazing that the leadership of space has finally returned to Europe. Seeing the Germans started in all. As we all know the Americans and Russians all had German scientists at the beginning of their programs. Maybe the Germans should get heavily involved, then we would get to Mars and where ever else we want. They do generally have the best technology. Get BMW/Mercedes to build the rockets.

    Yep I read em and they are quite good. Especially (blue I think) when they become independent.

    I just recently watched Reloaded and I thought it was crap. It is so far up its own arse. All the dialogue was theoritical crap. I believe this. I believe that you bleieve. I believe that you believe that I believe etc etc etc. Arrgh. The first one was cool. This nope. They better have something good in the next one. Personally I am waiting for The return of the king (i know not sci-fi) or a 3rd blade movie.

  19. How about No on Universal Alphanumeric Postal Code Proposed · · Score: 1

    THe current system works fine. Why do they even want to change it. You can look for someones address/location with databases. Leave it alone. Why does the US have to change everything. And Microsoft they shouldn't go anywhere near this. My mail will start ending up in china or soemthing. Here in england the post code sort of helps describe where you live. For Glasgow its starts G birmingham is B etc. In london its split in to a number of areas. NW N E SE SW W, which correspond with the areas. then they are divided by numbers further. its a quite good system. about the only thing that works in the UK
