    thanks for answering

    NB: Victoria, Australia actually has limits on the amount of porn you may legally possess before it is considered no longer 'personal use'. Seriously. I'm not joking.

    By 'porn', i assume you mean kiddie porn?

    Afaik there is no limit on posessed (normal) porn at all, (Netherlands)
    but owning a single kiddieporn thing is illegal here ofcourse.

    (..) when I used to do Mac repairs, I used to make a point of leaving the 'hidden' directory of porn visible on the desktop after a data recovery.

    I tried GDS, and most of the plugins, are not integrated in GDS at all, but merely feature a small box in which you 'can' search.
    No sidebar, just some socalled 'plugins' which are actually stand-alone apps.

    Now why would I do that?
    Won't make me more money. Won't get me more satisfaction. :P


    So, vice versa, why would I. *sigh*

    Some people wich make me want to put their head up a tuba.

    On related shit;
    I can't write but do pronounce all english words correct. Its the same with a lot of ppl, its called dyslectia ro something. Also, its about 4am here so dont expect to much hassle from my end.
    Whats in it for me? Nothing? Ah well.

    On less related shit;
    And now im wondering why i typed this comment to a stupid post, its not that i will get satisfacton of it.

    ah well here something to raise the satisfaction factor of this post:
    If i ever meet you, remember to fold a shark around your head. And after that i will insert the tuba in a unhumain way. As if there's a humane way anyway. That already feels a lot better, thanks.

    I dont find rpg's geeky!
    I just find the act of acting about made up things air very stupid.
    Maybe, i find watching it more interesting, but that's another point, not for this post.

    I (and i suppose this goes for lots of ppl) can not see the satisfaction in it.
    If i play such a game, my first action would be to quit, i just dont see the fun in it.

    Sure, conversations are fun, but i dont see any reason to act like elves or other fantasy identities.

    Personal, if i want a satisfaction, i have to create something. Like a php-website, a automated-ant-and-insects-burner, some weird overdone security measure around the house (*think 'Home Alone II'), or some design for some robot i'm never going to finish anyway.
    That; also is unstatisfactionary for a lot of ppl.
    I dont stop them of thinking so, they may.
    You dont stop me of thinking so, i may.

    Why rpg's are nicknamed geeks,
    may be because its just so strange for ppl who dont see or get the satisfaction by playing an rpg,
    dont see the need to act about all the fuss that isn't there actualy anyway.

    For me rpg games are very much close to seeing the typical 'i-worry-to-much-about-nothing' -girl act up because something that doesn't matter at all.
    Like the bold and the beatufull, but without a murder involved. (i hate that show, its just sooooo stupid by any measurement)

    For me, its lots of fuss about very little air. For you, its satisfaction.
    For you, maybe creating stuff is lots of work for nothing. For me, its satisfaction.

  18. Re:OS X on a Dell on First Look at Apple's Intel Developer Macs · · Score: 1

    When they live up to my expectations, like being able to run windows on mac's too, and continuing to improve Mac OS, i think i'll buy a mac.

    In the past, i would need 2 boxes in order to stay connected (1 for windows + 1 for Mac OS)
    In the future, i would need only one mac computer, (saves ) wich can run both Windows and Mac OS.

    Its obvious that (some/a lot of) ppl will buy a Mac computer, maybe just because they'll be able to run windows on it too.

    Ofcourse windows will run fine on it, its got lots of advantages for Apple if it does.
    They just have to make Mac OS 'not work' on non-macs.

  25. Re:Piggy bank on eBay sellers Told to Include GST · · Score: 1
    I guess that all transactions are taxed so that it scales together with expenses from buyers of goods.

    Besides these trade taxes, there are no other significant taxes.

    example:

    company A sells a applecrate to company B,
    bought from: his investments; by growing them on tree's.
    sells for 10 euro + 1.9 euro tax (19%)

    company B sells this applecrate to company C,
    bought for 10 euro + 1.9 euro tax
    sells for 15 euro + 2.85 euro tax (still 19%)
    The difference in taxes, is payed to the goverment by each company.
    So A gives 1.9 euro, and B gives 1.75 euro.
    customer buys from C,
    thus paying 2.85 euro of taxes per applecrate.
    Advantage:
    If this customer buys more stuff, he pays more taxes!!
