  1. Re:100Mb/sec? on Australia To Build Fiber-To-the-Premises Network · · Score: 0

    I thought the same, 8 years.. especially with what they are planning now isn't exactly bleeding edge and in 8 years its going to be a gen or two behind.. Still I know the country areas need some love.. hopefully Telstra will keep their mitts out of this.

  2. Re:I'm sorry, but... on perl6 and Parrot 0.5.2 Released · · Score: 0

    what about the fact that in order to use python you have to taint yourself with the language created by Knuth? So you dont have this as a bumper sticker?

  8. Nuclear in Australia on The Nuclear Power Renaissance · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I cannot understand why people are so against Nuclear. In Australia we are still burning coal / natural gas for our power. Yes there are a few hydro / tidal plants (but what they do to the enviroment is not much better). We need a transition power source.. "Clean Coal" et al are a short stop gap solution. What am I missing here but, why not get a few Nuclear Power stations, as a longer transitional power source until we can find a better power source, Perhaps cover the desert with solar?

  14. Re:I understand other BT costumers aren't happy... on ISP Closes Webmail After Spammers Get Addresses · · Score: 1

    Fucking brilliant. *wipes tears from eyes*

  15. MMmmm, nope on IBM the Next Great Software Company? · · Score: 1

    I totally agree, I worked for a company that deployed & maintained plenty of Exchange and Notes enviroments. Notes functionality leave Exchange for dead. Exchange is not the bed of roses people make out, the funky way it ties in with AD, Exchange and Outlook can make finding some problems are real PITA. Notes does require more care and feeding than Exchange but it is hands down the better system if you compare the two.

  16. They don't work too well on Building a Better Tin Foil Hat · · Score: 0, Redundant

    For a funny paper on tin foil hats check out http://people.csail.mit.edu/rahimi/helmet/ has some funky tin foil hat fashion in it too!

  17. The hard drive lock.. on DriveLock on Compaq/HP Laptops? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I work as a tech repairing Compaq and Toshiba laptops. This locking was told to me at a recent training course with Toshiba. I don't know about Compaq (I guess its just that they use the Toshiba HDD's) but if you enable the feature you must sign a document with Toshiba that voids your warranty on the HDD for failure. The lock is actually a chip internal to the HDD itself and is not on the controller. If this chip locks. The drive is throwable, even data recovery centers are unable to recover the data. I am not too sure though if they take the platerns out and put them in another assembly what the story is. Hope that helps
