    Ah ha, I think you've found a way to lure the Viagra Spammers into the open. Does anyone have a spare car battery?

    It sounds like his department. I can't remember how many of his media releases got tagged by SpamAssassin, but they looked like they were using spammers to send the things. The man's a muppet and his department / staff look the same. Just be glad you got a form letter without the mail-merge fields. Dear $WHINGER...

    You still have to know the code phrases. Anti-caking agent is the biggest one I can think of right now. McDonalds fries are a problem because of cross contamination after the frier. Try ordering them without salt. A lot of them now don't blink if you order a burger without the bun, so there is some improvement. The good ones will do up a nice looking dish on a tray. Mexican is safest if you stay with the corn tortillas. Have you looked at Nandos? Our local ones actually have dairy and gluten allergy information on the printed menus.

    Yogurt, or specifically the AB cultures, are important. Garlic is also helpful against candida. There's supposedly a link between gluten and lactose problems and candida as well. Throw all of these together unregulated and you have a mess.

    In Australia they still sell corn flour made from wheat. It's a technical term for fine flour. At least some brands have caught on and advertise themselves as 'corn flour made from corn.' And then there's the ever present 'Anti Caking Agent.' You're right, things are getting better, but it's taking time.

    Apple doesn't follow standards, they set them. Following standards is for open, cooperative people, like Microsoft.

    Quake as a COM object. You hit a PowerPoint slide and start playing. It could make presentations a lot more interesting. Either that or go and find your recent documents and texture the walls with them.

    That was my point. It used to be that Australia ended 100 miles west of Adelaide. The line appears to have moved east.

    That obviously explains Atkinson in South Australia.

    This is likely nothing more than a staffer trying to answer the question "What would happen if we did this?" as posed by a politician.

    That's irrelevant. FOI requests require that all working copies and notes be provided, at least when I've seen them. Working copies are covered.

    Exactly so. Most of the issues with excessive or improper use shouldn't be handled at a technical level. It's standard 'not doing the job' disciplinary action. We've blocked Facebook et al, mostly because of the traffic. Before the block social networking was about 25% of the traffic through our proxies.

    "Reasonable, personal use" is usually the term I've seen. It's seen as better for the boss if you jump on the net for five minutes rather than taking an hour off to stand in line at the bank or other variations on the theme. That being said we're running into a generation that complain about us blocking Facebook, IM and streaming audio / video.

    Compared to the regular crop of nut-bags we get holding the balance of terror in the Senate, these ones are at least easier on the eye. If they do less than Steve Fielding, we're ahead. I know, but my motto is "Aim low, you'll never be disappointed."

    Most of the filters are made somewhere else and block all sorts of strange stuff in the default lists. We used to have 'New Guinea' blocked for RACISM. It was easier to to turn that filter off. Our current filters decided to start blocking a local pizza joint as PORNOGRAPHY. Does anyone know why the categories are always in all caps?

    They can't link to Sourceforge. It's got a bad reputation. You wouldn't want Slashdot associated with that, would you?
