Australia is not an island. It is about the same size as the US - Alaska. It is huge.
I know this is fun and all. but anybody who has that kind of money, and doesn't help people on the 3rd world nations is complete scum. I don't subscribe to the theory that is is their money, they can do what they want. We live in a society, it is not ok for me to walk down the street punching people in the face, nor is it ok to have this kind of wealth and not help people.
What a joke. Yeah, you have the right to turn the street into a death trap. That is a wonderful thing. Step 2 metres out of my house and I could be dead, and you think this is a reasonable situation to be in.
DOS has mutlitasking as well, via TSRs. Great fun to write those, amazing the stuff you could do, adding applications to DOS that are accessible with a keypress. Norton used to do this, when they were good (and run by Peter Norton).
What the hell are you talking about. If you have never heard anyone in gov talk about splitting up telstra before, you have been living under a rock. This is the best thing that could have happened, and should have happened from the beginning.
This is not true at all. We will have one that manages infrastructure, that will deal with all companies equally. You will then have one that competes, and is no different to the other carriers. HOW IS THIS 2 MONOPOLIES.
Yeah, cyclists, which don't cause any damage on the road, and would prefer there are no roads, and don't get many special roads just for them, are supposed to pay for roads are 99% non-cyclist traffic. Genius.
Car drivers, which cause pollution, are ugly, noisey, smelly. And lets not forget, kill more people than any other man made device, just so you can get somewhere faster. Use up 70% of a city in roads, and parking and garages. Have made it dangerous to even step out of your front door. Regularly try to run cyclists of the road.
Fuck you car driver, fuck you.
Yeah, so some car driver almost kills a cyclist, and gets removed from his car. How does that compare to the many cyclists killed every year, due to drunk drivers, maniacs, texters, and people who don't give a shit.
God damn I hate excel. Sure, it is very useful for a lot of thing, but it is so shit at so many. For starters, the genius programmers decided to clear the clipboard when you first load the program. Thanks for that (this is for 2003). Also, if you use text to columns once, it decides to enforce that whenever you paste from then on, which is a really fucked decision. Don't get me started on entering formulas problems, where it just goes crazy sometimes. If you have an @ in the formula, it ignores it. And it doesn't handle errors very well at all.
Yes, i agree. The best fighting game I have ever played, haven't found one to match it. And I wasn't even that into fighting game, but this one got me every time.
Fuck off, anyone who comes up with such a simple explanation for the fall of rome is talking shit. There are lots of complicated reasons why rome failed, from yours, to inflation, greed, to many factors.
I know, I made $200,000 last year, so i can't stand it when a company 'claims' to have a bad year, because they only have $30m. This makes no sense at all to my tiny little brain.
Yes, that is the way the world works, correctly. Just like the difference between you giving some guy on the street money, and the same one stealing your wallet. One is called robbery, one isn't.
No, anyone who disses on Windows Quicktime, while glossing over the absolute shit that is Windows Media (since 6.3) has lost the plot. Quicktime is a mess, WMP is a steaming pile of shit, reminiscent of old Sony software.
The search has been crap for ages. It is a joke. Possibly they did it to make you pay for the MSDN cds.
Apple also have a lot of developers documents on their sites, very easy to search. Funny that Apple search works well, and Microsoft, trying to get into search, is complete rubbish.
No, this is not true. I don't think you realise how powerful the US military is. They spend an order of magnitude every year more than all other countries combined. They have the most advanced equipment by far, that they wont even sell to their allies like UK and Australia.
They don't have this stuff for Iraq or Afghanistan. They have it for Russia (less so now), and for China.
Most of the stuff they pay for are really advanced war equipment, for fighting a major player.
They would crush China. There is no two ways about it. They plan for it everyday, China is the big threat out there today. Not because they are aggressive, they are actually very peaceful. But they are the challenge out there.
The US military is built around taking down China, in the hopes that they never have to.
Slashdot Mirror
Google already supports Mobile Terminal Google code project for jail broken iPhones/iTouches, so the precedent is there.
The Road Transport Authority already supports speeding, so why don't they open a racetrack?? You are so fucking ignorant it hurts.
The worst thing you could do for your kids is leave them no reason to work. Morons think they are doing them a favour, they are not.

Fuck you car drivers.
Yeah, if you get the cheap shitty ones. Or you can get the better made HP and Dell with the same specs, and around the same price.
Or, you just grew up and stopped worshiping computers?

So, you are ignoring that part about W7 have a superior implementation of ASLR to linux, which is what we, you know, give a shit about.

Yeah, Japan is equivalent. How far away from the continent is Japan? Now look at how far Australia is from anywhere. You fool.

The world would be a better place without you.
Unless you are a little kid.

I know. Compare that £105 to the newspaper I just bought for 70p. See, that it more than 130x more expensive?
WTF are you doing comparing it to the BBC, talk about your apples and elephants.
Yes, i agree. The best fighting game I have ever played, haven't found one to match it. And I wasn't even that into fighting game, but this one got me every time.
Cervantes wins!
Same with .Net, how many applications have they actually written in .Net, and when will we see Windows of Office ported over to it?
Never, because .Net and Sourcesafe is shit.

Too late genius, you already lost. Go home Bill, go home.

This makes perfect sense. China sells us less stuff, so lets buy less stuff from China.
You see, we don't actually want that many rare earth metals, it was OUR decision not buy as many.
Oh yeah, and we broke up with China first.
No, this is not true. I don't think you realise how powerful the US military is. They spend an order of magnitude every year more than all other countries combined. They have the most advanced equipment by far, that they wont even sell to their allies like UK and Australia.
