Whats tragic is your attitude. The poster simply pointed out that regardless of what press releases Yahoo may make, people are likely to stick with google. Grow up, grow a pair and post while logged in next time.
Read the article again. The move is not to make people start CHARGING GST, it's to require them to INCLUDE GST in the total price, a law that exists in every physical store in the country.
Anybody who isn't required to charge GST (i.e. anybody who isn't making $50,000/year from the business) will remain unchanged. The people who were making over that simply have to say the price is $11.00 from the beginning rather than saying it's $10.00 + GST (the problem being combatted here being that the "+ GST part" was rarely included anywhere but in the fine print)
So they're just going to be complying with laws that every other store has to comply with, which I fully support. None of that "$59.95 + tax" stuff, no surprises. We know exactly what it's going to cost when we pull the credit card out because of this.
They made no sense at all...
I did get a laugh out of having a guy SCREAM while I had the volume up at work, though. I figured you'd have to click a link to start the videos so I just opened the site up in a new tab and kept browsing/.
I'm not surprised at all - I know our main push for open source comes from being vendor independent, and conforming to open standards to support the first requirement.
If an open source application were more expensive to implement, but conformed to proper standards and supported all of our needs moreso than a proprietry solution, why wouldn't we go with it?
I don't have a problem with it...
Means I could justify requesting my essay to be manually re-marked every single time his computer program spat out a grade I wasn't happy with.
Juries have to deal with whatever cases come up... If it's overturned because the jury wasn't seen as intelligent enough to decide the case, this'll have pretty terrible implications on pretty much any case with technical or scientific evidence. How is it that a jury can't be seen to understand penis enlargement emails being bad, but they can understand DNA evidence from hair folicles linking a person to a murder?
Well there is with some laws (murder, manslaughter, etc). They generally take this into account when sentencing, though. They might find you guilty of accidentaly stumbling upon something, but feel that you only deserve a 1 month good behaviour bond or something. Assuming they bother to press charges in the first place - if you get to court, the prosecution probably thinks you did it on purpose, or they wouldn't charge you at all/charge you with a lesser crime.

They're still making that?

Did you RTFA?
Yep. Did you keep reading it? I'm referring to the methods for when no excerpts are given.
"Reconstructing" files by searching every word in the english language in different orders? I want the last 5 minutes of my life back...

Newer versions of WinRAR do support 7-Zip.
VLC Media Player from www.videolan.org should be up there too.
