As a Western Australian, I totally agree with your comment.
I wish my state would secede, or that Kevin Rudd would replace Kim Beazley. Or that the Australian people would wake up and realise that 4 years of Kim Beazley is worth it to get John Howard out of the liberal party.
From what I can remember (no source sorry) the reason it took so long was because until the US-Australia FTA was signed 2 years ago or whatever, there was no reason for Intel/Buffalo etc to be worried about getting sued.
When the FTA was signed, they realised they could get sued so they went to court to invalidate the patent and CSIRO counter-claimed.
Very few farms (as in ~5%) are irrigated at all, and declining rainfall has serious consequences for both grain agriculture and meat farming (livestock don't have enough grass to eat, and feeding them grain is dependent on good grain production).
We have the same thing happening in Australia right now. The Federal Government also gags debate in senate so the bills go through quicker. Quite sad really considering some of the rot they put through is clearly designed in the interests of big business.
It's always nice to see someone else who has opened their eyes. I'm a finance student, so I study a bit of economics (micro as well). It's rather interesting to see how consumerism is totally embedded into our models of free market economics.
It's a pretty nice theme for mac, I think it makes firefox look like one of the nicest browsers on the platform. The new default firefox 2.0 theme looks like ass. Whoever signed off on the changes needs to be shot.
I have the 2.0GHz core 2 duo imac with 4MB L2 cache. According to Intel, only the merom at 2.0ghz comes with 4MB L2 cache, the conroe is 2.66GHz for the first one with 4MB. Therefore, I'd say that the imac use merom.

You can sue if they don't fix what is covered in the support contract. Also, there is millions more windows support shops around than linux support shops. Besides, since when has management made a logical decision?
(I'm not a windows user btw, I'm just saying that's what management does these days.)
I guess the supplier (IBM/HP/Dell whatever) is usually accountable for any breakage that occurs. Failing that, you can call any of the billions of small tech shops that fix Windows installations for enourmous amounts of cash (I used to work for one;))
I have an IBM ThinkCentre at work with a single intel prescott 3.0 GHz. When compiling or anything computationally intensive (it runs GNU/Linux too) sensors indicate 75 degrees C and it sounds like a jet taking off. Not to mention to uncomfortably warm air streaming out the back of the unit.

IMHO those mockups look like it's trying to look like Vista. Of course those are only mockups, but a few I've seen seem to be heading in this direction. It is better than keramik though:p

haha yeah I see that now. I'd vote for democrats but they can't seem to get their act together, so it will probably be the Greens.
A summary from their Principles page:
- Free markets and freedom of choice
- Individual liberty and personal responsibility under the rule of law
- Civil liberties and individual freedom
- Devolution of power including decentralised government and competitive federalism
- Free trade in ideas and culture
- Freedom and human rights
They look like a promising alternative, unless they do something stupid between now and next election, I'll vote for them.As a Western Australian, I totally agree with your comment.

Something along those grounds anyway.
Don't forget drought.

A nice firefox 2.0 theme is Pinstripe for Firefox 2.0

Actually all new copies of Tiger server in stores are ppc/x86 universal DVDs.

Nice Macbook Pro you got there! Is it the 2.16 GHz Core Duo one?
Except K8L is going to have 2MB+ of shared L3 cache...
If you're in to buggy open source software and you use GNU/Linux, try out turtle which integrates with the f-spot photo program.
It seems to still be there on the Australian xcode site.

i love my k7 xp2000+ :D very speedy.
it also crunches dnetc faster than a single 2.8 GHz XEON IBM server i have at work.

4. Who can we sue if it breaks

Yeah that bug annoys me too. And Safari uses about 100MB of RAM for me and Camino uses 130-160MB.
nah see my other post,
the australian government has passed a bill making it illegal to be able to access suicide-related information.
"The Bill introduces new offences of using a 'carriage service' (the internet, emails, mobile
d 133.pdf
and fixed telephones, faxes, radio and TV) for the purposes of counselling or inciting
suicide, or promoting or providing instruction on a particular method of suicide.
Possession or supply etc of material that is intended to be used for such offences is also
itself an offence"

Cool! Soon I'll be able to access suicide-related content in Australia!
