  1. Re:Moo on Was the 2004 Election Stolen? · · Score: 1
    When was the last time there was an attack on Australian soil? When was the last time someone tried to invade Australia?

    Ooh, ooh, I know! 1942! Where do I collect my no-prize for answering the rhetorical question?

  2. Re:Confirmation? on 2005 IgNobel Prize Awards · · Score: 2, Funny

    He won a NOBEL prize. He literally swept the IgNobels, though.

  3. Re:All I want to know is... on Secretaries Sacked After Flamewar at Work · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sexy Kiwi accent? What, 'baaa'?

  4. Re:False dichotomy on Realism vs. Style: the Zelda Debate · · Score: 1

    Incorrect. The Game'n'watch came later. And it sucks.

  5. You don't have to ban the thumb drives... on Towards a Comprehensive USB Flash Drive Policy? · · Score: 1

    USB port + Epoxy resin = Security. Anything you currently do with flash drives can be done across the network, all nessecary peripherals can be run through PS/2, and you don't have the bother of patting people down for their flash drives.

  6. Re:Which country? on Free Audio Content for Long Drives? · · Score: 1

    ...except for the 811,000 km of highways in Australia, ringing the country. It'd be easy to drive from Melbourne to Perth, or some such. Don't be so dismissive.

  7. Re:Helping to prove his point? on Sun Storms Deplete Ozone, Too · · Score: 1

    The only factual things in science are observations. Theories are explanations. If theories don't matter, then by all means, float away.

  8. Re:How about a Ferret? on Hypo-Allergenic Cats Now Available for Pre-Order · · Score: 1

    You can get the anal scent glands removed surgically if you ask a vet.

  9. Re:What about the weapons? on The War Of The Virtual Worlds · · Score: 1

    Future? Star wars? I believe you'll find that "a long time ago" is not the future, even "in a galaxy far far away."

  10. Re:canada on Sony Quietly Opening Retail Stores · · Score: 1

    And in Brisbane. It mostly sells home theater stuff, but has a few laptops and a healthy stock of PS2's and accessories (no games).

  11. Weaponry on Loud Music Can Cause Lung Collapse · · Score: 1

    Is there really any way to harness this to make weaponry? Although this particular case only affects people who are generally unhealthy in the first place, how difficult would it really be to use the pressure change to collapse lungs/implode heads/explode entire chest cavities?

  12. Australian Broadband on Broadband Envy: Fixing American Broadband · · Score: 1

    And in Australia, where our fastest residential access is 1.5 mbps....

  13. Personal Experience on Note Taking Devices for Students? · · Score: 1

    I use an old Acer TravelMate 370 to compensate for my handwriting problems. I use stock kWord for equations, and otherwise I have no problems.

  14. Re:Not to sound cynical... on Note Taking Devices for Students? · · Score: 1

    A focal dystonia causes the entire arm to cramp up during learned movements, causing pain and impeded motorskills. Generally the condition is lifelong, and if it affects the entire arm, there is no medication.

  15. Re:At least... on BSA Asks Kids to Name Copyright Weasel · · Score: 1

    Bombadier Bettles defend themselves with a boiling hot fart.

  16. Re:Just be glad!!!! on Spider-Man 2 Has Over 30 Mistakes · · Score: 4, Funny

    Nothing but a wicked urge to enter politics.

  17. Re:Area 51 is a hoax by the goverment on Area 51 Hackers Map Buried Surveillance Network · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I believe the military installation commonly known as Area 51 is actually an advanced aircraft development center, where they developed craft ranging from the old U2 spy plane to the F-117 stealth fighter. That would make a lot of the UFO sighting claims make sense.

  18. Glare Removal on Computing Al Fresco? · · Score: 2, Informative

    In order to reduce glare, you may want to look into glare reducing filters and monitor hoods. The filters are extremely expensive but do the job well enough, and the hoods will work brilliantly if the monitor is positioned correctly.

  19. Re:RF Keyboard for HTPC - perfect on Home Theater Keyboards? · · Score: 1

    I've ordered this. Even though it isn't bluetooth, I should be able to mod the antenna enough to make it work. Thanks a lot.

  20. Re:Hello, Meeper here on Home Theater Keyboards? · · Score: 1

    I'm not me?

  21. Re:keyboards and mice are a no brainer on Home Theater Keyboards? · · Score: 1

    The projector screen is 9ft wide.

  22. Re:Hello, Meeper here on Home Theater Keyboards? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Wow, you aren't me. Go die.

  23. Re:Quit yer whinin'... on Home Theater Keyboards? · · Score: 1

    The design of the room is not... conducive to either RF or IR. The Bluetooth keyboard and mouse I've been using for setup has worked quite well, so thats the setup I'd rather. Thanks anyway.
