Ahh the libertarian argument, alright lets extend it to its logical conclusion. How about the government stop paying for anything? I'll pay for my police force and you pay for yours. And while we're at it, I'll pay for my armed forces while you pay for yours eh.
Damn I don't think that each of us alone has enough money to make these things work, that means we will have to come together and share resources if we want to live past the time it takes for the others to realise the same thing.
I guess that means we'll have to figure out a way to share the resources so that everyone who contributes gets their fair share. I think this means we will have to form a group to manage those resources. We'll have to put it all down on paper as well, just to make it all legal and all, damn well if we haven't just gone and formed a fucking government.
How the hell did that happen? Oh thats right, we're human beings, a tribal/clan based animal if ever there was one.
Isn't Australia a democracy governed for the good of the people?
Yes it is. However at the last election the majority of people decided to elect a man whos head is so far up George Bushes arse, he could lick the back of Dubyas tonsils.

Why don't you let us know what you really think. Don't hold back now, just let it flow...
I'm sorry but part of the charm of the originals was the fact the special effects were amazing without the use of CG.
The newer bits just clashed something chronic with the original, hell they couldn't even get Jabba's size right between A New Hope and Return of The Jedi.
Well first off, the Windows Firewall is meant to be part of the OS right, so it would/should be possible to limit the ability to actually switch the Firewall off to certain users/programmes and remove the ability of third party apps to touch the damn thing.
Secondly, Webmin is a system administration tool, of course it's going to have the ability to manage the firewall, there is a major difference between allowing system admin tools to do things to the system and allowing spyware/malware to switch off the firewall in order to download the latest spam mailer virus or worse.
But there are ways to travel between the stars, whether it be through colony ships or some other means. Just because its going to take a while doesn't mean it is impossible.
Also the lack of contact with alien life does not automatically lead to the conclusion that there is no alien life. There could be hundreds of civilisations out there with a tech level of maybe the industrial revolution or lower. It's thinking like this that lead our ancestors to believe that the earth was flat and if you sailed too far you fell off the edge of the world.
Prove it. Seriously, if you believe that Seti is a waste of money, prove that there are no aliens and hence no need for Seti.
Seti is an experiment. A massive experiment that may prove to be fruitless, but if the big payoff does come about I think that the money will be well spent.
The concept that just because our use of radio is supposedly going to decline over the next 100 or so years any possible alien civilisation is already beyond radio, is pretty weak.
Because both the Labor party and the Liberals want this to go away as an election issue. Niether is prepared to fight this out.
Also its not a sexy issue. Start talking about the intricacies of international copyright law and peoples eyes glaze over, this is not something that the pollies want just before an election.
A French company want to take away an American company's inalienable right to private property, what a surprise.
Thats right its only American companies who are allowed to use the government to interfere with their competitors. Sheesh pot this kettle calling, I think your black!
If they had included alternative software for any of those things from third parties they wouldn't have even got to court. They were accused and convicted of abusing monopoly power by intergrating IE into the OS to the detrement of anybody else.
This is the whole point. One of the main reasons why I dislike MS is not because they are a big bad company, and aside from the nightmares I have having to support their software, its the fact that they have and will do again, abused their position to screw both the consumer and their competition in ways that are demonstrably illegal.
Change of venue to Canada where all owners must have a permit and each individual gun must have its own permit as well, to be renewed every four years, prices subject to change. Ten years in the slammer if you forget. This is oppression for political purposes which goes well beyond unreasonable.
I think you will find that Canade has a higher per capita gun ratio than the US. They just don't think that they need to own the latest heavy mg to protect themselves from the big bad government.
In certain jurisdictions such as Arizona, all firearms are legal to buy and own without an ownership license.
So in Arizona you can go out and purchase an rpg launcher without the need for a licence? Or maybe one of those cool flame throwers. Whoopee flaming neighbours at twenty paces.
Sheesh, I think a lot of the problem with guns in america is people still think they live in the wild bloody west. That it's perfectly alright to swagger around with a six shooter.
Try qemu. I have it running on Fedora, hosting a FreeBSD guest, and am looking at Windows compatibility. Sadly Solaris 9 shits itself, but who knows in the future....
Its a reference to the first Apple ads during the Super Bowl, had a room full of corperate type zombies staring at a large screen and a punk chick with a large hammer running through and smashing the screen.
After the Dark Crusader atmosphere set by Tim Burton/Micheal Keaton/Jack Nicholson/Danny Devito the next two movies really did suck the big one. Too much zing and zang not enough brooding.
George Clooney proved beyond a doubt that he cannot do dark, brooding and border line psychotic.

Apparently the Tampa was back in australian waters last week and now the talk is he is going to call an election, makes you think huh...
Bah it's friday and I am going home...

I don't know some of them could put an eye out.
Hate to break it to you but, Antartica has been split between half a dozen nations for a long time now, Australia in fact claims the largest chunk.
I'm sorry but part of the charm of the originals was the fact the special effects were amazing without the use of CG.

Okay how do I reply to this one?

Sheesh it's basic common sense.

Jeez your generous, how about the twenty odd floppys that came with 95, now that would be a true punishment.

Thats pretty much it, Little Johnny (Australian Prime Minister) went to war so he could secure this bastardised piece of shit.

I think a DDOS attack on a girl is called a gang-bang.
Just my filthy two cents worth.
Apples and oranges, when was the last time you heard of someone walking into a school and wiping out thirty people with a TIVO?
After the Dark Crusader atmosphere set by Tim Burton/Micheal Keaton/Jack Nicholson/Danny Devito the next two movies really did suck the big one. Too much zing and zang not enough brooding.

Thankyou its good to know that Im not the only filthy minded indivudual on /.
I'm actually hoping that Jar Jar is the Second Robin, you know the one who gets beaten to a pulp by the Joker and the blown up.
