  1. Re:why SVG is better than SWF on SVG On the Rise · · Score: 1


    Agreed.

    Yes it is well known Mike works for Macromedia and is/was? a public representative of that company.

    No he is not trolling, you're incorrect.

    SVG and SWF will both have their places, and respective advantages/limitations. Personally I've been learning Actionscript for the last 3 months and have found it quite good.

    Pick your poison :)

  2. Errrr....you forgot just one thing... on Alternative Energy: Power Via Coastal Wave Motion. · · Score: 1

    No mention of the fact that you have to dig
    uranium out of the ground before you can do
    all those wonderfully safe and efficient
    things with it.

    I live in Adelaide, South Australia, and we have
    several uranium mines in my State...The companies
    operating these mines (US and Canadian) use
    sulphuric acid in-situ leaching to extract the
    ore, then pump the crap BACK INTO THE
    GROUNDWATER!!!

    My brother is a surveyor and has visited another
    area in Western Australia with a uranium mine,
    Roxy Downs...they are allowed to suck 42 MILLION
    litres of water PER DAY from the Great Artisian
    Basin...People who have lived there for a long
    time are noticing the affect this is having on
    the water table...

    Australia is a dry place, we need our water, our
    major river system will be fucked in 20 years
    time...i'm glad I probably won't be around when
    things start to get really bad.

    And don't forget the Jabiluka uranium mine
    situated in the heart of some of the most
    beautiful countryside in the world; Kakadu,
    in the Northern Territory...I spent many a
    happy camping trip there, catching barra and
    waking up to water buffalo outside my tent :)

    The track record for the company operating
    Jabilukais appalling, they have accidents and
    leakages all the time!

    Our money-hungry short-sighted government and
    apathetic australians are as much to blame as
    the companies running these mines...but people
    like you who spout the virtues of nuclear power
    really need to check your head....How can you
    justify creating energy for today with waste
    that will be with us for 250,000 years!!!
    (lifespan of medium-high level radioactive waste)

    There ARE alternatives, we should be doing more R&D into Geothermal and Solar, not nuclear.

    peace
