  1. Re:Allan Fells retired ages ago? on Australia Investigates Peering Practices · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    He announced intention to retire at the end of his contract.

  2. Re:My poor memory on A 1974 Review of D&D · · Score: 1

    I had a blue box set too, it was the 'advanced' set with D&D rules, came with a set of dice and a rulebook or 2, the red box was the basic set with nerfed rules. I think there may have been a black set too which was master rules, probably AD&D.

  3. FTP - what it's for! on FTP: Better Than HTTP, Or Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    File Transfer Protocol enuf said? :)

  4. Open in new tab vs. back button on Building a Better Back Button · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I thought everyone used 'right click -> open in new tab' more often than the back button?! Back is only good for getting out of a 200 page PDF! ;)

  5. movies or series on Rick Berman Doesn't Know Why Nemesis Tanked · · Score: 1

    The reason the movies were made was for higher profits - a film every 2 years is worth more to them than a series.. maybe people said screw that - the movies are never as good anyway!

  6. Using ADSL modem on Power Companies Offering Cable (TV, Net) Service · · Score: 1

    I read somewhere that this technology (net over power lines not this one specifically) offers an adapater that you plug your current "broadband modem" into.

    does anyone know if an ADSL modem will work with this? :)

  7. Re:Google Easily Explained on Honeymoon Over For Google? · · Score: 1

    you get the options:

    [] search the web
    [] search australian sites

    and the problem is.. where? :)

  8. Re:Worldwide on Hollywood Muscles Aussie ISPs Over Movie Downloading · · Score: 0, Redundant

    4. Profit!!! bad joke aside.. excess consumption would have to be part of it. 1 billion - that is sad.

  9. Re:I found one today... right under my nose on Finding Every Species · · Score: 1

    yeah but anyone still playing that game after 3-4 years doesnt just need their genes examined but their brain too!

  10. Re:That doesn't sound possible on Finding Every Species · · Score: 1

    No new species will evolve in 25 years, 25,000 maybe. How many will become extinct in 25 years?

  11. Are well used original figures worth anything? ;) on Star Wars Action Figures · · Score: 5, Funny

    If only I didn't freeze Han Solo so many times and kept the figure in the original plastic it would be worth a lot now ;)

  12. Re:Who can you trust? on When Sysadmins Go Bad · · Score: 1

    Perhaps Machievelli is the one you should trust least of all? ;)

  13. Re:I can see how some would like it. on Star Wars Galaxies Only to Allow One Character Per Account · · Score: 1

    It would be more to do with twinking than trying to get people to pay for multiple accounts. Just make your test character then delete it.

  14. Re:At least 1 and 2 were good on New Mad Max Film · · Score: 1

    hehe I was a bit critical of Mel he's ok ;) haven't seen that movie thanks for the tip, actors are often better in smaller films, maybe more freedom to do it their own way.

  15. Re:profit ? on New Mad Max Film · · Score: 1

    and i bet there are indian films made cheaper than any of the films mentioned here.

  16. At least 1 and 2 were good on New Mad Max Film · · Score: 1

    Mad Max 1 and 2 were classic films, 3 was pretty bad although at least Mel wasn't quite at the fake American accent stage and still had a bit of credibility, but really hasn't done anything decent since other than braveheart, so I don't expect this new one to be anything other than a money maker.

  17. My god Spock! The arrogance of the man! on William Shatner Replies · · Score: 1

    Pretty bloody arrogant for someone who hasn't done anything of note in 35 years and even then was of questionable quality.

  18. Oldest known machine of the Industrial Revolution on Seeking Interesting Sites When Travelling the World? · · Score: 1

    The Powerhouse Museum in Sydney Australia - has what is believed to be the oldest existing machine of the industrial revolution - Boultan and Watt Rotatative Steam Engine from 1785. It's 1 of 3 originally, the other 2 have since been destroyed, but this one is in working condition and they start it up once a day.

    Shipped from England in the late 1800's it's an interesting piece of history if you are in that part of the world.

  19. Fosters... the rest of the world can have that ;) on ZDNet Australia Interviews Richard Alston · · Score: 1

    Fosters is Australian for beer for much of the world, except Australia, although the Kiwis are probably in on the secret too.. we can't stand the stuff! That's why we export it ;)

    Coopers is Australian for REAL beer :)
