Yes, while you Americans sit back and point at all this internet censorship in AU, NONE of which actually exists, the US Gov is taking away the rights of American citizins beneath there eyes. Echelon, Carnivore, Magic Lantern, all new Anti-Terrorism laws.... Ring a bell?
"And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me cast out the mote out of thine eye; and lo, the beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. " --Jesus
You ever notice how most of the crocs act like they are sedated? thats because they are. A Lot of the shows are just filmed at Australia Zoo. The whole show is total and utter bullshit. Some of the stuff is real, but most is set up for the benifit of Americans. Hell, most Aussies think he's a wanker.
Koalas are _EvIL_!!!!. I was once cuddling a koala which stank of shit and urine, with a hint of eucalyptus. It went schitzo at me for no reason, and nearly tore my face off. I found out the hard way that koalas are mean, stinky, animals with big claws.
Now Kangaroos... they look pretty cool. You go up to one, pat it, make kangaroo noises at it, and then it rips your gut open and kicks you 10 metres. Stay away from large kangaroos.
And just as your running from an insane kangaroo, face torn apart by a koala, bleeding from the massive gash the roo left, you run into some native australian plantlife... the waitawhile. It is called WaitAWhile for a reason, you know. You run into one, you'll be waiting a while before you get out. They are covered in millions of thorns and hairs that act like velcro on skin and clothes, which take hours to peel off. Your best bet is to cut the waitawhile down and keep running with it attached. To top it all off, the waitawhiles make poison ivy seem like a mild irritant... you will be itchy for months.
Oh, and btw, I picked up GTA3 from an computer store a few days ago.... So somebody should tell EB that GTA3 is banned in AU, cuz you can pick it up for about $AU 100 ($US 50)
Lets have a minute of silence for Windows 95. A quick win32 hack that has been a thorn in Microsofts side ever since.
It will be sad to see it go, since after 6 years of bugfixes it was just starting to look really good.
n a TC Book I read, there was an aircraft carrier under attack by some fighter jets. They focused all the radars power on the jet, and fried the computer.
If you think about it, it should work. A large microwave dish pumping out a few hundred megawatts of power would easily fry electronics.
Of course a simple SAM would also get the job done, but you gotta admire Clancy for coming up with great ideas.
Anyone here have Yahoo ID? Notice how it can be used to authenticate seamlessly with all yahoo services, such as Mail, News, Egroups, Geocities, Shopping, etc?. Ever seen a website with a "Powered by Yahoo!" Icon? guess what- your authenticated with your Yahoo ID. Did you also know that they are planning on providing Java based applications over the internet, such as an Office Suite?
This Sounds a hell of a lot like.NET/Passport to me. Hell, Yahoo even uses your information for spam.
a Yahoo ID isn't vapourware either. It is here, now, works really well, and has passed the test of time. Yet no one has complained about Yahoo?. Of course Microsoft plans the same thing, and its the Evil Empire trying to take over the world.
Codeweavers has a plugin for netscape that allows you to run Windows plugins... including ActiveX plugins (If thats why you need IE). Since Mozilla, Galeon, and Konqueror can all use netscape plugins, you can use the codeweavers plugin with all of them.
Hotmail is slow, annoying, and I get roughly 100 junk emails a day. Yahoo mail is fast, well designed, is linked to all other yahoo services (news, games, elists/groups, clubs), and I'm lucky to get one junk email a week. You also can forward to pagers or mobiles via sms, access your mail via wap, telephone(voice synth aparently), and POP3, you get free voice mail, and can send/recieve faxes.
