I was against the republic simply because the whole movement is a joke. It was a diversion the former prime minister introduced to try and take people's attention away from spiraling unemployment, a crashing economy and high foreight debt six or seven years ago. There's nothing even slightly wrong with the current system, and no reason to change. Having said that, I think I'll be likely to support the model come the end of this year, simply because it's better we get the two-thirds parliamentary system now, than have the possiblility of getting the incredibly stupid direct-election model at a later date.
And yes, I realise this has almsot nothing to do with the article at hand. Appologies to the annoyed.
The bill of rights thing is a joke. It's just an attempt by very activist lawyers to increase the power of the judiciary. Our constitution has served our rights very well. Either there is a commitment to rights in a country or there is not - a piece of paper really doesn't have an impact.
Also, configure your systems bashrc to alias bad variants of rm to trace programs, etc. You're probably never going to run rm -rf/ on your system, so it's probably a safe bet:)
No kidding. Windows networking still has (IMHO) to be properly worked out in terms of security. From what I've seen with it's installed setup, also, there is much less information available to systemadmins by way of logging, etc. It's particularly bad to have Windows network enabled AT ALL if you've had a hack, because the more intelligent script kiddies can take your password files and use them to break in again through the server message block protocol thingie. This is made really easy with samba, because they can get the source to it, and just cut it back so that instead of hashing a password and sending it, it just sends the hashes straight out of the password file that they've copied form your computer. (Bad thing)
I haven't played around with it a lot, but my understanding is that logging with windows networking is minimal.
I should have been more clear (OK, less incorrect:) ) with my client comment (and not written it coming off a night-and-a-half-shift ). I meant as far as productivity, useability for the stuff computers are used for, rather than the infrastructure. So... um... yeah. Stuff related to 'users'. But that's important.
I really don't like kde or gnome that much. But Be's good.
Yeah, but the network we use at work is all 100MB, and I want to be able to get all my email through there, etc. I couldn't tive a damn aboutthe speed to be honest, it's the connectivity that's important.
ESR is selling out the drive and moral of the movement to buy pulbicity for it and, more importantly it would seem, for himself. These are not mistakes that the movement can afford to make now. He has lost my respect.
hehehe OI was hoping I'd find one like this. (Although I've tried to be sane:) ) Slashdot or palm should do a big survey actualyl finding out what peopple want:) I just want:
Minimalist screen with b & w if it saves battereys, although colour would be cool
A CPU that doesn't lag on typical applications on the unit
Really good mime email program
Lots of memory to store lots of email in
Direct TCP/IP connection - hopefully with option to support 100MB networks (I work in a datacentre, and that would be ideal for keeping notes on, etc)
Option to get a modem - and not that rubbish palm modem, a real one to connect to the net with. (Although that's probably more OS related than the modem itself - but who'd buy a modem to connect to their home computer with?)
Web browser
Keyboartd addon and terminal shell
If they can bring out a good palm machine with 100Mb networking and good email support and probably an addon keyboard with a GOOD (note the word GOOD - none of this shitty windowsterminal rubbish) term program, I'll slap my money down. Immediately. you listening 3com?:)
BTW, wouldn't 'gnash' be a cool name for a shell? It could sort of tie in gnu, and... ash...? Hmm... Up there with vbsh (an no, I'm not talking about the Victorian beer)
Well, I prefer to be crushed by real arguement. If you've got em then for God's sake use 'em.
I'm pretty sure Fraser did declare a period of marshal law for a few hours following the Hilton bombing while he and foreign diplomats were clearing out with the help of the military. I'm suspiscous of your claims of an ASIO frame up, though. I have greater faith in the motives of our security agencies than in the words of what you describe as an inconsistent low life.
But I'm open to pursuation;)
As for the scrap metal business: I'll recognise they're bastards, but this is some distance from having a military that's 'oppressing the populace'. It's also some distance for a real justification of abolishing the military.
Here's something to get you worked up: I believe that it is good to have military force working to defend democracy. At the same time, I believe the Vietnam war was fought in all the wrong ways and nearer the end calls were made for practical political rather than idealogical ends.
I need far more of your documented evidence than that.
Seriously, if you're still using R3, you probably don't have much in the way of good stuff installed as standard. But the Codewarrior that comes with R4 is pretty good. I've found it a quite different approach to many packages (such as Visual C++), in some ways, yet it's just as good (just... different)
I've read lots saying that Pe is good also. But you can't get it for R4 intel which is what I have:(
It's not a cheap publicity stunt: MS is trying to use Be to get it out of trouble in court, and Be is retaliatin by saying "Hey there! People won't be able to bundle our OS even if we give it away!"
Be is the winner, and its a balsy move from Gassee.
Well... in my Ideal World (tm), you'd have Be as the standard client OS and Linux as the server. I'll never own a Mac, but I do think that they, like Playstations and PDAs have a place in the market. It's similar with Be. What's *wonderful* about it is that it bridges a lot of the gap between a good consumer OS (as the Mac is, you have to give it that) and one capable of doing groovy stuff.
I really don't think that linux does that in quite the same way. Which is good, because that's what makes linux kick arse in the server area. It's unstoppable.
In South Aust we drink Coopers. It's really great. Apparently Australians are supposed to drink Fosters as well,although I have yet to actually see a pub in Australia sell the stuff... I guess the import market is too lucrative;)
And as for Howard not being able to do shit, I seem to remember seeing him at one of MarkW's greatest games admiring the action and drinking VB. You've got to respect that.

I work in a DC exclusively with NT, and it's not great. But it does work. Nevbertheless, as capacity increases, unix becomes the only real solution.

You're a legend! Your link is stuffed, but I found a reall great article about higher education on the domain while I was searching for it :)
Thanks!

For a network, I'd get a nicely set-up router too :) That can be pretty important :)

Bah! Linux is good but it can't do client stuff as well as some. BeOS: way of the future baby

Although you get a lot closer when you get rid of the bits in which Ewoks kill stormtroopers!
With a little effort that could be a nice haiku.

Well gnash it is. I'll begin work immediately...

Flame me baby.
Not true. You can buy licences of NT which support > 2 processors.
Naturally you have to pay a hefty surplus, no doubt to cover the extensive programming, sweat and tears that have made it happen >.|
Yeah, vi :)

Now all we need is Oracle for Be and we can sit back and yell MAWHUHAHAHAHHAHA (excuse my quirky sexual fantasies)
I had this keyboard problem! Had to change motherboard :( but it was definitely worth it :)

Duck for cover! It's another masquerading annon coward!
What about Geoffrey Bennet (the Toshiba Windows refund man?) He's Australian.
