  1. Re:what about Australia? on College Students Turn Away From Landlines · · Score: 1
    I am a low volume user in Australia.

    I use Vodafone Prepaid about 30 AUD a month at 1c for 1 second. Works well for me.

    Some friends of mine, who were in Australia for just 3 months, got prepaid with Virgin. Some bought a new mobile phone in Oz. The others they just swap in a new sim.

  2. Re:Vertical Board, Mouse on Strange New Keyboards and Mice · · Score: 1
    I tried out the Goldtouch for a month once,
    but as I enjoy one handed typing, when doing mouse intensive work,
    I found it unsuitable.

    The month trial was free in Australia, Give it a go.

  4. Re:The Quiet Earth... on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1
    Quiet Earth is a brilliant movie. Bruno Lawrence's acting is intense.

    Some of the concepts still haunt me today.

    The ABC actually is more tech savy now days.

  6. Re:Fucking France and Germany. on MS Faces Hard Sell in EU Antitrust Case · · Score: 1
    The US invaded ?????

    The US didn't exist before the Revolution.

    The Britian , Netherland, France, United States invaded the lands now known as the US.

    Otherwise, the invasion of the US Texas by Mexio , seems to contradict historical facts. The Six Flags over Texas would indicate that the Texas was an independent Republic before it choose to join the US of A.

    Perhaps the world is full who should use the internet to over come ignorance of history?

  8. Re:Donnie Darko on What Makes Great Science Fiction? · · Score: 1
    What makes Donnie Darko great Sci-Fiction and great movie, is the layers.

    Like Dune, there is much more than just a story, in this case a time paradox.

    Personally I didn't see any retelling of a the Christ Story.

    Currently I am working through the paranoid schizophrenia aspect of the movie, later perhaps I will look more closely at the time pardox.

  9. Re:Coal plants emit airborne radioactivity on LANL Warning About Radioactive Trees · · Score: 1
    Environmentally Coal Power is damaging and managing the waste product is difficult.

    Environmentally Nuclear Power is less damaging. In a politically stable and stable tectonic area, the risks can be mitigated.

    If the options are limited Coal and Nuke Power I would suggest there are cases when Nuclear Power would be more environmentally friendly.

    But lucky for us we are not stuck in the 60's and we have many more options, which have little or significantly less impact on the environment.

    No more Coal or Nuclear power plants should be built

    and the current Coal and Nuclear Power Plants should be phased.

  10. Re:Gimme some anti-virals... on Antibiotic Resistant Staph Infections · · Score: 1

    A patient goes to the GP with a virus ie. a cold. 2 treatment paths are suggested. 1. Take a course of antibiotics, and you will be well in a week. 2. Go home with out a prescription, and you will be well in 7 days. An informed consumer would release the often antibiotics is no more than a placebo in regards to the virus, but it does give bacteria another chance to evolve in a resistant strain. (Thanks Dr. Karl)
