  1. Re:Soon to be a lot of money in this... on Toyota Demos 'Partner Robots' · · Score: 1

    It was made illegal in June 2002. But before that there was a legal loophole that basically had people selling them in shops..

  2. Re:If you have a mac... on Zaurus SL-6000 Review · · Score: 1

    By the look of it, it will only sync with Sharp 3.x applications, e.g. applications using the DTM for information storage. The openzaurus and ipaq distro's of linux all tend to have XML storage for their PIM applications, so I'd be surprised if you did get it syncing.

    That being said there is no technical reason why you wouldn't be able to get the sharp apps running on an ipaq with some hacking. Legal reasons though...

    All that being said, it's enough for me to install the sharp apps on my Kompany ROM install to check it out. This is what I've been waiting for. ESPECIALLY with entourage sync now available that will sync ical and addressbook with entourage....

  3. Re:When's Gamecube Linux coming out? on Dreamcast Web Server Running Off Memory Card · · Score: 2, Informative

    From memory it's not that the disc's spin backwards, but that they are written backwards. The track goes from the outside to the inside. There was talk of a hack to actually wire up a normal CD/DVD drive to the gamecube as a way of using normal media, rather than the mini-backwards-written-dvd. Thargor66

    Now thats bullshit if ever I've heard it.
    Most wiretaps per citizen, I don't know so I'm not going to argue that point.

    Aborigines aren't second rate citizens. There are MANY high profile aboriginies in Government and other areas, such as sporting. Aboriginal people have access to effectively interest free government provided home loans, they are guaranteed places at university and they get more government support than any european descent person does. I'm not saying that conditions are perfect for every aborigine in Australia and I'm not saying that there hasn't been 2 centuries of persecution but the means is now there for them to take hold and turn it all around.. and plenty have. There are isolated communities which are impoverished, agreed. But I can point to various US Indian communities in the same state.

    As for the crap you are spinning about imprisoning ILLEGAL immigrants. We do exactly the same as the US and the UK and 1/2 of bloody Europe. The only difference at the moment is we have so bloody many that the time it takes for a recent illegal immagrant to get completely through the system can be between 6 months and 2 years. As the levels drop back down again, time will decrease and it will be a non issue like it was 10 years ago. Unfortunately with our huge borders (we have way more coastline than the US) and our low population (less than 20 mill) we get known as an easy arrival. Of course they don't realise that only 5-10% of the land is actually livable, the rest being desert.

    China is one of Australia's most important trading partners along with the US, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan. Shit, we send 1/2 the wheat we grow every year to IRAQ, so I suppose we must all have terrorist insticts?? That's the lamest argument I've ever come across.

    I think the view you have of Australia is purely coloured by your own personality and being an easy target for derogatory media.
