  1. here is a use that could be.... on Draconian Anti-Piracy Law Looms Over Australia · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Take a Bob Dylan (insert any other protest song here) song and have a group of protesters singing at some rally say against the government introducing bad copyright law. Now there is nothing the government can do about them... until they sing the song in a public place... And hey presto... start the fining.... that will teach them hippies for singing copyrighted material....

  3. Reality TV on Retro Vision · · Score: 1

    Now here is a show... a reality tv show about fans of old tv shows have 20 days to put a website together, about one show, but none of them like the same show... first prize is the best of the A-Team DVD.

  4. Bruce will save us... on Planetary Defense: Protecting Earth from Asteroids · · Score: 2, Funny

    The easy way to protect earth is simply to ensure that Bruce Willis never dies... freeze him if we have to. Then thaw him out, and he can go to the rock and blow it up with three minutes to spare, and none of us need every worry again... having Tea Leoni won't help, she will just go to the beach and die... so its Bruce all the way.

  5. Re:Not a huge problem, yet! on SMS SPAM to be Banned Down Under? · · Score: 1

    I get one or two bit every now and then, but Vodafone are always telling me I haven't paid my bill yet... Is this spam or what :-)

  6. Re:In Soviet Russia... on Software Bug Causes Soyuz To Land Way Off · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of Capricorn 1 If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence you ever tried.

  7. Re:Tetris' lingering side effects on What Games Have Actually Affected You? · · Score: 1

    I was doing fine until all these people started mentioning tetris, now the blocks are back, and so I am off to the pub for the only cure I know... round beer glasses.

  8. Re:Don't they like sheep over there? on New Zealand Looks at Internet Censorship · · Score: 1

    I thought it was more to do with the accent...

    all the time that kiwi's say sex instead of six :-), which of course is going to make censoring even more confusing....

  9. Re:Probably won't get through the Senate on Dismal Failure of Internet Filters In Australia · · Score: 1
    Dont also forget that the Australian Government has also now tied the be alert not alarmed of the terrorism campaign (should that be anti terrorism), in to the p0rn debat, stating that parents need to be alert, but not alarmed when it comes to Internet p0rn.

    I think if people take the approaching of being erect, but not arosed. the whole issue my just go away.

    And given that mothers aren't even allowed to breast feed on the floor of the parliment, what chance does p0rn have.

  10. Matrix Trailer on Superbowl XXXVII · · Score: 2, Informative

    Its now online at http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/rl_cmp/reloa ded_trailer2_640.html :-)

  11. A distant memory on OS/2 Going, Going... Gone · · Score: 1

    Ah them were the days, a 486sx (wow), a 4x cd rom and 2x 540 hd's..... cool...... and not to mention the 16 meg Stealth Video card.... and of course OS/2. Used to run my BBS for over a year, before I acutally sold it got on a bus and travelled around australia.... (obtw the BBS lasted a week after I left town as the idiot who paid $3000 AUD in the mid 90's didn't know what he was doing:-)) I run OS/2 with just the cmd to do just about everything on my DOS based 2 line bbs, I would defrag drives while formating a floppy and having people download files all at the same time.. (just cause I could). It kicked arse in its day and will unlike a number of other bits of software be remembered fondly.....
