  1. Re:I have my old zx spectrum. on Australia's Largest Private Computer Collection In Pictures · · Score: 2, Informative

    Now, now, you could have black, white, cyan and magenta but you could also change the palette and have black, yellow, green and brown. You could also change from 320x200 to 640x480 resolution but then you'd only get black and one color from a selection of 16. After that EGA and VGA were amazing.

    If someone thinks it's an 'obscure foreign film' they may not appreciate the humor. Some of the jokes are very Australian. I also wonder how the American anthem played in the US.

  4. Re:The movie is called 'The Dish' on Australia's Largest Private Computer Collection In Pictures · · Score: 1

    It was actually Honeysuckle Creek near Canberra that got the signal, but it was dismantled so Sich and co. based the film around Parkes, then filmed in Forbes. They're also the crew behind the Hollowmen.

    Gee, were they talking about The Dish? They could have included the title.

    The Australian Federal Police didn't even exist in 1935, idiot.

    Maybe you're confusing them with Agence France (sp?) or even the Associated Press.

  7. Re:Who's The Fool on Ted Stevens Loses Senate Re-Election Bid · · Score: 1

    Bush and the boys go for one last road trip with a bunch of blank presidential pardons. Yee ha.

    I think I have a summer blockbuster for next year.

    Bush's pardons could be fun to watch. "Hey, George, you can't sink any lower so sign these please. Karl needs an early pardon. Scooter's kept his mouth shut. Let's do Ted Stevens for fun."

    Ted Stevens and Sarah Palin, I can see the connection.

  10. Re:News for Nerds... Why? on Ted Stevens Loses Senate Re-Election Bid · · Score: 1

    No, it's because Ted Stevens is an Internet super-star for his 'series of tubes' speech. I'm sure you can find it on YouTube. Just make sure you don't get tricked into watching Grandpa Simpson.

  11. Re:I'm amazed on Ted Stevens Loses Senate Re-Election Bid · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's job creation for comedians. Obama's election is making their jobs harder. Palin on a national stage would bring back the good times.

    The laws got changed to have special elections rather than appointment after Murkowski appointed his daughter. Wasn't that an appointment to fill the seat he vacated to become governor?

  13. Re:I'm amazed on Ted Stevens Loses Senate Re-Election Bid · · Score: 1

    What I heard was that all of Steven's votes were early votes from before the conviction. He started in the lead but got no more votes. The other guy just had to accumulate enough to get over the line.

    I'm sure this troll will get boring over the next four years.

  15. Re:These lawsuits don't make any sense. on Should You Get Paid While Your Computer Boots? · · Score: 1

    That would be my guess too. They 'clock-in' by logging into some application and 'clock-out' when they exit. Getting the machine to/from that point wouldn't be counted. It just sounds like more management efficiency.

    Australian Research into Space Exploration.

  17. Re:Australia wasting talent on It's Official, Australia Needs a Space Agency · · Score: 1

    Talent is one of our big exports. I was watching an interview with Baz Luhrman last night and he mentioned film is the same way. Wherever you go in the world, you'll find Australians. All of our good people can find more work elsewhere. This is true in most fields.

  19. Re:Wrong priorities on It's Official, Australia Needs a Space Agency · · Score: 1

    Excessive tiers of government? There are three (Federal, State, Local) and they don't overlap much. Federal has tax and the military, the states handle police and education, and local handles parks and rubbish collection.

    Oh sorry, I didn't spot the poor troll attempt.

    No, it's supposed to be Bush doesn't like Rudd because of the 'leaked' conversation between Bush and Rudd. The whole thing looks like the usual farcical political games from Canberra.

    East Timor was '75, so Ford, not Nixon, but pretty much. Then again, Timor is a bit of a side show compared to what the Indonesian army are doing in West Papua.

  23. Re:Yes, the Suck is strong with this one on New Star Trek Trailer · · Score: 1

    This isn't Star Trek. It's Starfleet 90210.

    And that isn't even original. They were looking at a Starfleet Academy setting for the fifth series. Paramount thought it was dumb and went on to make three screwed up seasons of Enterprise.

    Eh, gangsters in space or Nazis in space. It's easy to get them confused. (Actually, I loved both episodes.)
