  1. Re:DMCA - Our gift to you, Australia! on Australia-US Free Trade Agreement Examined · · Score: 1

    Dubya had to reward Jeb for all the good work he has done for the American people...

    That joke was only ever funny to USians...

    And the whole 'throw a shrimp on the barbie' thing is just plain stupid. I have never heard an Australian say that line unless they put on a crap US accent and yelled...

    ...just like it is not in the best interest of Fox or CNN to report on the doubts raised over the Nick Berg beheading video.

  4. Hmmm... on Australia-US Free Trade Agreement Examined · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What is apparent is that Australia did not get the big gains in access to US agriculture it was asking for, but still agreed to some serious changes to Australian social policies which the US was demanding. While the agreement - unlike the North American Free Trade Agreement - will not allow corporations to sue the government for breaches of the agreement, it will mean restrictions on the right of Australia to regulate local content in the media, changes to Australian quarantine laws, new avenues for US pharmaceutical companies to press for greater profits from the Pharmaceutical Benefits scheme, and greater restrictions on creative products under copyright.

  5. Re:The camera and VCR only cost about $50 total on LA to Oregon at Mach 9 · · Score: 1

    Let us assume a slightly high average consumption rate of 30 mpg, over the 695 miles he would have only consumed ~23 gallons. And with your terrible (*sarcasm*, in Oz we are paying over AU$1 per litre, AU$4.50 per gallon) fuel prices at present of $2.20/gallon. That is only $50 worth of petrol...

  7. Re:Ah... the first of a start. on Canon Digital Rebel Hacked Into A Pseudo-10D · · Score: 1

    Flawed analogy...

    A much better analogy would be to have a plow that goes only 3 kmh, uses a plastic blade and is painted bright pink, compared to the near similar fully featured plow that goes 20 kmh, uses a metal blade and comes in black for $500 more.

    The extra $500 does not go to waste... You just have to see if the 300D or 10D suits your needs better.

    Spend the extra on the 10D, the metal chassis alone is worth the extra $$...

  9. Cool... on Intel To Release Next-Gen BIOS Code Under CPL · · Score: 1

    I remember that i thought it was cool when they added mouse support and CD-ROM booting in the BIOS. What cool stuff are they going to add now?

    I am too tall for a 6 foot long cabinet, you insensitive clod!

    It works under WINE :)

    But seriously, is there enough of a market to justify the cost of a code port to Linux?

  14. Re:happy bacteria? on Bacteria Live Happily in Nuclear Waste · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Chocolate is a poison for dogs...

    chocolate contains theobromine, an alkaloid that dogs can't metabolize quickly. If a dog ingests a large amount of chocolate, the theobromine can build up and reach a toxic level of concentration, leading to cardiac arrest. Different types of chocolate are more harmful than others, and the effects will vary, depending upon the size and weight of the dog. However, it is potentially lethal.

    Just look at most frat houses around the US and you will find life that shouldn't exist...

  16. Re:Why not? on Spamhaus Opening New Branch in China · · Score: 2, Funny

    I really don't understand this murderous hatred of spammers. What they do is incredibly annoying and costs businesses a lot of money, but have they ever killed anyone?

    When spam ends up killing someone, then I may be able to understand putting a spammer in front of a firing squad.

    At present I think a better punishment for spammers would be to have an implant inserted into their inner that constantly plays Greensleeves or Macarena constantly. Or insert an implant behind their eyes so they regularly see visions of enlarged penises...

  17. Hmmm... on The DDR Workout - It's Official · · Score: 1

    Seriously, could this kid have lost more weight doing a low impact exercise regime instead of putting extreme weighty pressures on his stressed joints?

    I lost 60 pounds in 3 months just by starting a resistance weights training program. My fitness wasn't an issue, just excess weight.

    You think the quick movement/turning/weapon swapping are good things with CounterStrike? Those things are the reason I don't play, there is no connection to reality.

    Having to deal with slow turn speeds and slow reloading makes for a more strategic game...
