    Yeah, just like traceroute killed MySpace.

    I try not to hold my ferrite bar in public.

    That's not a problem for digital data. Combine it with some AM or FM and you can pack more data on to the carrier.

    Did anyone ever play the 'SDI' game in the '80s? I wanted it at the tine, but couldn't find it. It had a fake Luke on the cover.

    Thanks, but it was more just to wind up the folks that think IOS 4 is the latest and greatest, although "IOS no longer supports AppleTalk" could cause some confusion.

    Would you want to face HP over trademarks? "We're the biggest IT company on earth. We own Palm. You've set a lovely precedent." :) Faceplant is another option.

    This will end badly.

    Cisco might object. It seems they own all of the new Apple product names. Has everyone seen the latest security bulletin on IOS 15?

    Whoosh. The whole country has gone TL;DR on the election it seems.

    What, Conroy's claiming it stops bombs now? At least Gillard's muzzle order includes him so we'll have some peace this week.

    Split them into two teams and have one try to defend against the threats, then have them swap. It would give a balanced view and require some thought. I'm sure the 'intelligence' ops around it would also prove interesting. "The terrorist cell was meeting behind the bike racks, so we infiltrated and bribed them for information with a couple of smokes."

    Except they were told to plan a a chem or bio attack. The plan was probably 'plant the bomb and stop the CT forces until it blows.'

    Yeah, but it's a slow news week in Australia. There's nothing worthwhile happening here so they have to drum up whatever garbage they can. This one has terrorists and think of the children in one neat package.

    Unfortunately the character from multiple splats is back. With 3 PHBs, 3 Martial Powers, Arcane, Divine, two race books and several others we're back to the problem I had with 3 and 3.5. Oh well, 4.5 is out next month, so we can start the treadmill again.

    4E is the first one I could read since AD&D. 3/3.5 should go into the design and readability hall of shame. That said, most of the gripes I hear about 4E are similar to the gripes I heard when 3 came out.

    They're already checking laptops and they are supposed to stop certain material, so possibly yes. They don't do domestic, so just fly to Canberra or Darwin (or anywhere else that ends in Territory) and buy up big.

    That's the problem with the NBN, it's visionary. When will I get it? Nobody knows, but it's not this year.

  20. Re:Yet another reason not to get an IPhone on Australia Considering iPhone App Censorship · · Score: 1

    The only reason to mention Apple is that they're up for $25,000 for every unrated title they sold and they make a big deal of the number of games in the app store. Ouch.

    It's an election stunt, slashdot has officially been trolled by the Australian government.

    I now understand Conroy. Nobody could be that stupid. I think my head's going to explode.

    Add in some business center features or even 'meeting room' compartments with large displays and a white-board and I can see some people using them to prepare for meetings / presentations. It would be an interesting tech-support environment as well.

    What is wrong with the word " their "?

    It's a plural and indicates that there is more than one reader making the decision. 'Its' is just as valid.

    I remember when I was bored back in the '90s and I thought about doing this on the voice-mail / ACD / whatever system at work. The only problem was that I didn't want to have to read the entire book into the system. I'm surprised nobody else has done it.
