Yeah Britain used to launh rockets from woomera. Probably the aussi government did too. No private rockets tho.
New Zealand is definately a separate country from aussi, and there is a lot of sporting rivalry. (we beat them at rugby union generally, and they beat us at rugby league. We even beat them at cricket when Sir Richard Hadlee was still playing.
Yes, but they are pointless without someone to enforce limits. You want insane HP? You can have it on a private server. Same for other attributes. After you one-man HTOC 25 once, is there any point to repeating it?
They say small percent but if the #'s in the summary are accurate we're talking about 3% of their userbase. And as you said, not just any 3% - probably the 3% near the top.
The top 3% are the top 3% because they cheat? Ok, getting rid of them will give you a legitimate 'top' 3%.
If this had happened to me, I'd demand a refund on my XboxLive subscription for the current/future prepaid months. Plus a refund for any games I downloaded which are not unplayable due to the disconnection.
If Microsoft refused what recourse would we consumers have?
None, because you agreed to this when you used their online system.
The article says that a port of Windows could be important to the future of ARM, and that Microsoft has no plans to do such a port. (Does anybody remember when Windows NT was supposed to be ported to DEC alpha, HP PA-RISC, and IBM PowerPC?). But why, exactly, does a consumer want Windows? For Excel? Word?
As I recall, earlier versions of NT did run on MIPS, Alpha, PowerPC as well as Intel. They got dropped at about NT 4.
There'd be too many non self-driving cars still on the road. There was enough of a fuss getting the 'cash for clunkers' to go ahead, can you imagine getting 100% of cars on the road today off the road?

Microsoft have news sites? Go figure.

And NZ bred horses win the Melbourne Cup ..
We let you win (condescending smirk)

Would the Japanese launch in 96 count as private?
Damn, that's an ugly website.
Insightful for an offtopic comment? FFS, am I on slashdot?
Unfortunately, in Obamas' case, words speak louder than actions.
Kinda what I was thinking. When he said:
because then citizens of countries around the world can hold their own governments accountable.
Of course, that doesn't apply if you criticize HIS government or try to hold it accountable. Ask Fox News.
Of course, media groups can't be held accountable
Leg? - You're doing it wrong.
Red Bull & vodka - only did that once, and I got worst hangover imaginable.
It brings up the question of why such excremental links need to exist in the first place. WTF do we need guids[1] in our links?
[1] Especially the Microsoft spawned ones?
Cross-reference it to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect and move on.
Funny, I was thinking about their 10base2 adapters. Worked pretty well with Pathworks.
No, those pants do not make you look old.
But the length of RG-8 in your pocket makes you look happy.
Give me a patent!
No
sudo give me a patent!
Ok

Game Over, cheaters.
Too smart to let you get where you wanted to.
Loser pays costs? THat's the way it works, or should work.
Cucumbers? You evil bastard. Couldn't you wait until you'd bought your own?
Civilised countries don't have riders.
And with a simple patch to the firmware they can detect elephants!

The "minister" resposible for this was forced out of office twice for misconduct, he has no place even being in public office.
Well, he has one strike left.

No point to doing that, we'll run out of oil eventually :^)
I'm Australian, but last time I looked, Ontario was in Canada. And isn't that what this article is about?
And unless someone has managed to get coffee or a chocolate bar re-classified as a "communication" device, those aren't even touched by the new law.
If it's cold enough, I can breathe coffee steam in morse code.
What if they ban (lithium) laptop batteries? We move to fuel-cell technology! Let's see how they like methanol as a carry-on!
Another sign of the Apocalypse - and it's a doozy. I always figured hell would freeze over before Microsoft opened up something like the .pst specs.
Think Indiana Jones and opening the ark. It's not something you want to see.
