    What the hell jobs are left over for pol-sci majors then?!

  2. Re:In related news, on Gentoo 2005.0: A Live CD And [No] Graphical Installer · · Score: 0

    And an Australian Microsoft employee says he's never used Gentoo.

  3. Re:Ok then on Lying Makes The Brain Work Harder · · Score: 1

    What, like when you made that post just now?

  4. Re:TV episodes from BitTorrent on TV Piracy is Next · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have crappy reception, a larger monitor than my TV, and I have the option of downloading Enterprise in HD, 6 months before the episode airs in Australia. I don't have to wait until 10:30pm to watch it either.

    Channel 9, what do you seriously expect me to do?

  7. Re:Quality Not Quantity on Ukraine Holds 4th Largest Programmer Population · · Score: 2, Funny

    And it's entirely possible that feeding nuclear radiation into people's skulls has breeded a race of super programmers.

    It's okay, they found an employee in Australia who swears he's never heard of soundforge.

  9. Re:The funny thing is... on Internet Censorship in Australia? · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, aussie christian psychos claim that Australia and its constitution are founded on christianity.

    Never mind section 112 od the constitution:

    Section 116 of the Australin Constitution specifically excludes religion.

    The Commonwealth shall not make any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion, and no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust under the Commonwealth.

    God these people shit me. They are the reason why there's no damn pubs or bottlo's open on Good Friday :(

  10. The funny thing is... on Internet Censorship in Australia? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    People often complain that Howard's new conservative brand of the Liberal Party is pulling this country as far right as the americans.

    Well, he can't have been doing such a great job if the Family First party popped up. Ignore the submitter's insistance they're left wing - they're far from it. In fact, their main political rival is the Australian Greens, for their support of gay marriage.

    The thought of equity in Australian society scares the shit out of these christian extremists. That's probably why they want to censor the internet now - god help us if a 15 year old sees some porn, it's going to unravel the very fabric of our "christian" society!

  11. Re:Australian Dollar? on Time Warp Computer Pricing Revealed · · Score: 1

    At one stage it was around $1.40 US to an aussie dollar.

  12. Re:Ship % should underestimate, not overestimate.. on New Numbers on Linux Market Share Soon · · Score: 1

    I'd think the 98% of people who don't know what linux is would boot the computer, say "wtf is that" - then get little Timmy around with his windows XP cd to "fix" it.

    I sure as hell hope they didn't patent Sitting Down, because I just did that :S

  16. Re:Sempron... on AMD Announces New Low-End Processor Line · · Score: 1

    So basically it's just like the pentium 100, which... everyone probably still has stashed away in the garage?

  17. Re:Broil? on Dinosaurs Died Within Hours of Asteroid Impact, says New Study · · Score: 5, Funny

    But really, all this fancy language is another way of explaining the ovbious:

    The dinosaurs got 0wned. Real bad.

  18. Re: political correctness on Shatner May Return to Star Trek (Briefly?) · · Score: 1

  25. Re:No, because... on Moving Net Control From ICANN to Governments? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Because porn should be goat free?! This isn't your PC "everyone has different cultures" bs, this is human nature. Putting willies in things that aren't chicks is universally unacceptable.
