  1. Re:tsarkon reports greased up yoda doll billie jea on Star Trek - Elite Force 2 Source Code Released · · Score: 1, Funny
    Thank you, AC, that was very helpful.

    Except, of course, that Yoda is from Star Wars, not Star Trek. oops.

  2. Something I've noticed on Game Retailers' Return Policies Criticized · · Score: 1
    Is that most reputable places in Brisbane, where I live, have a 7 day return policy, even on computer games. I think this is a reasonable amount of time. It is enough to decide whether you like the game without holding on to it for a ridiculous length.

    However, I do have friends who buy a game, burn it then return it for the game they actually wanted, but I wouldn't change the exchange policy - it is quite a drawcard.

  3. Re:thunderbird is good on Mozilla Thunderbird 0.2 Released · · Score: 1
    The funny thing about a 0.2 release is that it doesn't need to be 'there' yet

    I mean, a 1.0 release with problems, sure, complain. But a 0.2???

  4. Ok now I am REALLY scared to drive in a car... on Gyroscope Gives CellPhones 'Tilt Control' · · Score: 1, Funny

    ...just talking on a phone is difficult enough for some people, let alone waving your hands around like a madman.

  5. Re:Telstra on Telstra To Put Linux On Desktop · · Score: 1
    Oh, of course, Telstra isn't entirely at fault. John Howard's infatuation with privatising Telstra certainly didn't help.

    I am curious though. He seems desperate to ramp up Telstra's shares to do it all over again, and Telstra seems to want to help this by attempting to look like a growth stock...who knows what'll happen, but I think small time investors will be burnt (again).

  6. Telstra on Telstra To Put Linux On Desktop · · Score: 5, Interesting
    It is about time Telstra decided to do something right.

    For the last couple of years they have been increasingly conservative, increasingly anti-competitive and increasingly stupid. They artificially inflate their Telstra Shop profits with their exorbitant call costs and line rentals (Really, charging $20/month to a rural person who makes 2 calls a month???). Not to mention how they ripped off millions of mum and pop investors with the whole T2 failure. However. Supporting Linux is a good thing, so ummm, I'm a little confused about how I am supposed to feel about Telstra now...
