    So they've been hosed. Enzed

  2. Re:As evil as it sounds... on AU Authority Moves To Censor Net Filtering Protest Site · · Score: 1

    The last time I registered, you had to use the registered name or a subset for the domain name. Smith and Jones Pty Ltd could get smith.com.au or jones.com.au but never brown.com.au. Things might have changed again.

    Call it 'Ministry of Fascism' and someone will think it's a music group.

  4. Re:Try RT? on What Does Everyone Use For Task/Project Tracking? · · Score: 1

    RT does hierarchies. You can use parent/child or dependencies. We've started using 3.8 and it can even use Graphviz to draw pretty graphs showing the hierarchy and status.

  5. Re:How so "stolen"? on The Trial of Terry Childs Begins · · Score: 1

    What if your neighbor asks for the keys? Should he hand them over or face jail?

  6. Re:State possibly going ahead with R18+ rating on Australia Could Finally Get R18+ Games · · Score: 1

    That'll screw with people. It used to be that 'Banned in Queensland' was a sure fire winner. Bad Taste, Peter Jackson's first film, even has it on the DVD cover.

  7. Re:This is a complete and utter waste of time. on Australia Could Finally Get R18+ Games · · Score: 1

    Smear him with a sex scandal, or you could get Brian Burke to give him a call. He'll be infested with investigators.

    There's a cool game for this. Branch Stacking All we need is a Facebook app and a way to measure gamer achievements.

  9. Re:It's a grubby political wedge tool on Australia Could Finally Get R18+ Games · · Score: 1

    It depends on the religion. Some of them are happy to slam child molesters if it brings in more cash.

  10. Re:But they've also announced internet filtering on Australia Could Finally Get R18+ Games · · Score: 1

    The DBCDE website is unavailable due to demand for the report, which we have mirrored here.

    We've slashdotted a federal department. From what I've seen of their emails, they need some people who know about computers and the Internet.

  11. Re:This is encouraging on Australia Could Finally Get R18+ Games · · Score: 1

    More likely he'll be 'reshuffled' into another job or the party will lose the next election.

  12. Re:what does RMS stand for? on Office 2003 Bug Locks Owners Out · · Score: 1

    Already used this line, but "RMS is a good tool to push free software."

  13. Re:Any workarounds? on Office 2003 Bug Locks Owners Out · · Score: 3, Funny

    It sounds like RMS is a good tool for pushing free software.

    Wait till you get a phone call asking you what to do with that box, for the third time, today, from the same person.

  15. Re:Design Choices on Office 2003 Bug Locks Owners Out · · Score: 1

    Because people could then use self-signed certs and we know those are only used for evil.

  16. Re:Locks OUT!? on Office 2003 Bug Locks Owners Out · · Score: 2, Funny

    Oh hell no. It'd make tracking leaks too easy.

  17. Re:Screw Up Or Forced Upgrade? on Office 2003 Bug Locks Owners Out · · Score: 1

    Let me guess, Office 2012 will have a vertical ribbon on one side of the screen.

  18. Re:Tag: Not a bug, defective by design. on Office 2003 Bug Locks Owners Out · · Score: 2, Insightful

    'Destruction' of archived records is a no-no in some places. We'll see if anybody important gets bitten.

  19. Re:Totally off the mark. on Office 2003 Bug Locks Owners Out · · Score: 1

    But it's never us causing trouble, it's always them, as in other companies.

  20. Re:Totally off the mark. on Office 2003 Bug Locks Owners Out · · Score: 5, Informative

    And then the admins get to deal with documents that can't be handled by the converter. I had one last month, had to install 2007 to open it. I forgot to check Open Office first though. 2007 isn't as bad as the problems '97 caused, but it still causes some.

  21. Re:list on NYT's "Games To Avoid" an Ironic, Perfect Gamer Wish List · · Score: 1

    Or they could just track down the version that used naked bodies as blocks. I can't remember what it was called, Xtris?

    Most browsers will let you just type in yahoo and give you the same result. AOL keywords for you and me too.
