Are you suggesting the FTA and media ownership laws are not in Rupert Murdochs favour? Why on earth would he let his media outlets make a fuss about something that would give him more wealth and power?
With the local content clauses in the FTA, he stands to gain a lot of cash by rehashing cheap US tv shows instead of investing in new Aussie material.
Note that the quotas with be racheted (is that a word?) - they can go down, but never up, in perpetuity. And that's why you don't hear much about it, all australian news sources will be cheaper off under the new FTA rules. Imagine, Channel 7 could source Fox News even more than they do now!
I have a CVS entry from December 18, 1998 applying to just this feature in a YAWC style (telnet) BBS. Does that count as prior art? In addition, can I get more royalties because it also warns you if someone is messaging you when you're logging off? Can I get free money and retire? Please?
I just looked at that msn site in Opera7 (not masking as any other browser) and I got home-win-ie6.css sent to me. So whatever else, some webmaster at msn reads slashdot and has changed the code that selects which stylesheet to send to the browser. It renders fine now in Opera7.
PS: I've had trouble posting this message using Opera, so I've had to start IE6 and now it works...
I tend to install the latest dev kernel on at least one of my machines the day the patch is released. Been doing that for years and never lost a single file due to crashes/freeze and what have you. (As opposed to Windows)
Currently my K6-2/300 is running Linux 2.3.48 with devfs enabled and apart from X exiting and complaining there is no/dev/psaux, the systems works fine. (gpm does see/dev/psaux)
The isapnp module picks up my ISA AWE64,/dev entries are generated when I run modprobe and the whole thing just kinda works like it was intended to.
I've not had the chance to try the USB stuff, but soon...
On a dissimilar note, PCMCIA hasn't worked on my 486 laptop since 2.3.31, so that box is still running 2.3.30 (and has a 37 day uptime now)

Sorry, but what does Starbucks have to do with coffee?

I guess Microsoft realised not many Australians will be using their net-based Office 2002 with their 33.6 modems.
My reckoning is they should de-bloat the software, not try and get government approval to relaunch MSN.
... not to mention inaccurate; the cards also work with Macs. (And as we all know, a Mac is not a PC)
