Reading the comments, and my own experience, it seems that everyone gets 20.21 bogomips regardless of the hardware software combo. Using his tcc to compile a reasonably simple and portable version of bogomips, (from http://djwong.org/programs/bogomips/) I get a very reasonable value of 1.96 on my Firefox 4 running on a Pentium 4 3.0Ghz. (Note that some edits are required to get it to compile with tcc)
Because Australia has had a long standing policy of limiting uranium mines to a total number of 3, there has been very little exploration for uranium deposits. Hence, even the known concentrations of uranium in Australia are largely unexplored. As the 3 mine policy has been scrapped, uranium exploration has begun again, and new deposits are being found in large numbers. The Australian Uranium reserves are vastly understated.
Dont believe it. In Australia, you can be booked for DUI on any vehicle. There have been some famous cases over the years including bikes, horses and skateboards.
Yes, we've been evaulating the OCZ Cards - and they are much slower in real life then the benchmarks suggest. Note that the FusionIO has a FusionIO Duo - which pulls 1.5GBytes a sec. This seems to be the holy grail of speed atm.
Australia lost most of its "quasi-professional" activists when it removed compulsory student unionism. Most of them were funded by the student unions, and without similar funding, the (typically jobless and usually student) activists have no money to get to the protests.
Ive had the exact opposite experience. I had an issue of crashing that I suspected was hardware on Sun gear. I registered a support issue with Sun (Oracle) and they suggested that it could be software, so also open a support request with RedHat, which I did.
Sun turned out to be borderline useless - even though it was a hardware issue, and the RedHat support was extremely helpful. The issue would have taken 5 times as long to solve without the RedHat support. With my other support issues, they have always returned with straightforward and knowledgeable answers that are almost always exactly on the money.

Well, we do have some 7 open SIP servers, and they are being bruteforced several times per day. Having a proper passwords set up as well as fail2ban they can look up our passwords for centuries.. and even if they get in, well.. they can call just regular landlines as all of our accounts:)
This is another scam we have noticed, that they call you and hangup with a caller ID number that is an international toll number. The idea is that the callee will simply return the call - essentially trying to trick people into calling numbers. We were getting 50 or so of these a day...
Yes, we do. NAT is a major blocking factor in the development of distributed P2P software - and I'm not only talking about uTorrent, but apps like Spotify, Joost, Skype, SwarmPlayer and dozens of others.
Not true about Skype. Skype only exists because of NAT. If it wasnt for NAT it would be alot easier to simply SIP call each other directly, and Skype and its network would never be required.
Almost all of the more expensive hotels. Ive travelled all of Asia Pacific, and spend $200 a night on a hotel, and you'll be spending an extra $30 a night for internet. (Usually with speeds of around 500k.)
The cheaper hotels often provide free internet. Ive found this to be true in the US as well. My work doesnt stick me in the cheaper hotels.
My mates all do this already anyway. Whenever we transfer money to each other via electronic banking, (say for footy tipping competitions or the like) we add a description line such as "Big black anal dildos."
The poor guy who ran our last footy tipping competition had to show up at with his bank statements for a loan he was applying for. Of course his statement was full of payments for dildos, gay sex, escorting etc etc...
How is it "illegal" to flee from war and persecution?
You flee to a safe country - away from your persecution and register as an asylum seeker there.
The illegal way, is to fly to Indonesia, throw away your passports, claim that you are from an area that you are not, and hop on a boat to come to Australia.
Obviously these are the two edge cases - and most will fall in between them. Many of the genuine asylum seekers are in large concentrations in neighboring countries to where they live - as they have no money or belongings. Many of the fake asylum seekers have money to travel - and end up in Indonesia, where it is quite convenient to hop over to Australia, and try to jump the asylum seeker queue.
the only solution here is to not allow the boat people - but to take more genuine asylum seekers from refugee camps and bring them to Australia. Australia takes a pitiful amount every year. Simply allowing the boat people into the country is only going to cause more problems, and is why both major political parties are trying to avoid it.
Yes, as your engine is running, its sucking in air. For every 14.7 units of air it sucks in, it will add 1 unit of fuel. At altitude, there is less dense air, so less air (by mass) is making it into the engine - meaning that less fuel is being added as well. Less power, but less fuel usage.
A prius's electric engine will not be degraded by altitude at all.
You have obviously never used any of the cisco tools such as ASDM. These regularly break on minor Java updates - to the point that I run VM's containing specific versions of Java just to access older ASDM's. Your programs might not have problems with java, but theres plenty out there that do.
Actually, it is true. Woolworths are disabling the Credit buttons on their terminals when a debit card is swiped. The only option is to select Savings or Cheque, which both use the Eftpos network and not the Credit ones.
Interestingly enough, a Australia's largest shopping retailer (Woolworths) has just stopped the use of debit cards in their store - citing excessive bank fees. Instead, customers must use EFTPOS - which goes directly through the banking network and not Mastercard or Visa.
Opening support cases with Novell or RH is pointless.
Ive had reasonable support from Red Hat. ES4 was tripping and panic'ing on Sun blade hardware. It took them about three weeks and lots of debugging, but they sorted it and released a new kernel - which solved our problem.
Similar hardware is tripping on Windows 2008. Neither Microsoft or Sun seem to care much about it.
Radar altitude systems are prohibitively expensive and big (pretty much only usable on commercial airliners and in military applications).
Not true at all. Radar Altimeters are not big and expensive (well not in aviation terms), and many civilian airplanes carry them. They are generally stock equipment on small civilian helicopters and light planes, even down to the 152/172 size.
The Federal Government plans to implement mandatory ISP filtering for "refused classification" websites, it was .
The government also released the report on the ISP filtering pilot, which was provided to the government by Enex Testlab in October, detailing the results of the blocking accuracy and performance of the filters.
Senator Conroy announced the new initiatives in a curiously scheduled press conference, with journalists only being notified 90 minutes prior to the start of proceedings.
"The Government will introduce legislative amendments to the Broadcasting Services Act to require all ISPs to block RC-rated material hosted on overseas servers", said the announcement.
"RC-rated material includes child sex abuse content, bestiality, sexual violence including rape, and the detailed instruction of crime or drug use.
"The report into the pilot trial of ISP-level filtering demonstrates that blocking RC-rated material can be done with 100% accuracy and negligible impact on internet speed", said Conroy.
Conroy acknowledged that the filter would only block "inadvertent" exposure to R/C content, and the pilot report bluntly states that any technically competent user could circumvent the filtering.
The report also found that the filters on average "over-blocked" 3.4% of sites that were not intended to be filtered, and that high volume sites would likely cause the filters to fail.
Initial reactions to the pilot report have been mixed, with participating ISPs praising the results (in prepared press releases), while others such as Electronic Frontiers Australia stating that it "brings more questions than answers".
The DBCDE website is unavailable due to demand for the report, which we have mirrored here.
Yes, if we were digitising this - then those harmonics would be causing us major havoc without a filter. But because we are sending this to a speaker, these harmonics are irrelevant - its the DC voltage doing the damage.

I use the "Don't you know who I am?" line with police...
When they reply, "Why the hell would I know who you are?"
I say, "Good!" and run like hell.

One of our remote offices in a far away country uses Skype through SIP quite successfully. Skype has been offering SIP for a while now.
We have found many SIP operators to be of fairly low quality. Skype in that region of the world has given us much better results.
Yes, we do. NAT is a major blocking factor in the development of distributed P2P software - and I'm not only talking about uTorrent, but apps like Spotify, Joost, Skype, SwarmPlayer and dozens of others.

Yes, if we were digitising this - then those harmonics would be causing us major havoc without a filter. But because we are sending this to a speaker, these harmonics are irrelevant - its the DC voltage doing the damage.
