  1. Re:Australia seems to be more repressive than US on Australian Labor Party Proposes ISP Level Filter · · Score: 1

    John Fucking Howard is what's up with this country.

  2. Re:Bold Move on Sun to Give Niagara Servers to Reviewers · · Score: 1

    Sorry bro, $5000 * 100 = $500,000, not 5mil. Valid points though.

  3. Bad review? on Sun to Give Niagara Servers to Reviewers · · Score: 1

    I wonder what they'll send if someone submits a poor review (not just "negative") - a pre-paid return label and a ticking consolation prize?

  4. MOD PARENT UP Re:100 or 200 years isn't a long tim on New Nuclear Power Plants in the next 5 years · · Score: 1

    Enough of the "short term" benefits that add gloss to the decision maker's short term in office. we need long term solutions. Renewable is the way to go.

  5. Re:destruction of unsold old models on Japan to Discourage Sale of Old Electronics · · Score: 1
    Yeah, In my early days out of school (88-89) I worked for a large Japanese electronics manufacturer in Australia.

    There was one model of compact typewriter that was to be discontinued - this model was still available on shelves at Target - and there was still several pallets of 'em at the warehouse.

    Out came the designated 14 pound sledgehammers. It took a team of three guys, including myself, four hours to convert these brand new typewriters into landfill.

    Nah, just go the two wood.

  7. 2 wood on Toxic Toads Taking Over Australia · · Score: 1
    They are indeed a loathsome beast, the cane toads.

    As a jab at the sometime tense North/South relationship during football season between Queensland (from where the plague originated) and New South Wales, one TV advertisement for beer recommend a posting at the border and a two wood as an effective means to return the little shits whence they came.

    Unfortunately, only fraction of a percentage of the little buggers actually use highway one...

  9. Re:An "Entertainment" disclaimer? on MythBusters - The Lost Experiments · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Indeed, watching even a single episode shows that they have very little scientific or engineering background

    Who cares? It's a great show. I especially liked the episode where they challenged the American Grafitti movie's 'chain-cop-car-to-a-pole-and-rip-out-rear-axle' myth.

    Man, a real size remote control police car. I suspect these guys don't really care whether their facts pan out or not, they're having TOO MUCH FUN!!

  11. Re:Distribution of choice on Ubuntu: Best Linux Desktop for Business? · · Score: 1

    Ah, yes. Many thanks.

  12. Distribution of choice on Ubuntu: Best Linux Desktop for Business? · · Score: 5, Funny
    The following quote from a slashdotter (who's name escapes me) kind of brings perspective to the whole battle for superiority amongst distros:

    "My distribution of choice is superior in every way to your pathetic distribution of choice. You are the lowest form of loser to think that your worthless distribution could hold a candle to the God-like superiority of my distribution.

    "My distribution's superiority is clearly demonstrated by it's magnificent out-of-the box handling of my obscure feature of choice. Your pathetic distribution doesn't even support my obscure feature of choice without a course of action so complex that it's madness to even contemplate it.

    "Clearly, my distribution of choice will utterly destroy your distribution of choice. This is so certain it is pointless for you to resist it."

  13. Re:Good For Them on Kansas Board of Ed. Adopts Intelligent Design · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No, not good for them. The ID debate is merely an extension on religion vs. science, with intelligent design proponents attempting to mould established scientific theory to legitimise their own religious agenda. High school can be an arena for the discussion of scientific principles as an aid to individual learning, however unproven and opinionated versions have no place as a part of the curriculum.

  16. Re:AVG is a bad choice on Intel Enters Anti-Virus Market · · Score: 1

    AVG won't install on Win95, and noticeably slows down anything 600MHz 128Mb. But compared to any Symantec product, it positively flies.

  17. AVG has a Linux based admin server on Intel Enters Anti-Virus Market · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I've opted for the commercial AVG network edition at my site due to the option of running the AV administration database (tcpserv) under Linux, using firebird db. This ties in nicely with our samba environment.

    Their tcpserv product gathers status data from all AVG "clients" on the network, including several hung off a 64kbps leased line - it's conservative on bandwidth. AVG for linux scans samba shares, and soon I will have AVG for sendmail monitoring mail in and out.

    The AVGadmin client can be used to view reports, force updates and make configuration changes to all clients from my desktop - I've yet to try running their AVGadmin app under wine...

    I'm very pleased with the flexibility offered by AVG network edition for linux/windows sites. I hope Intel doesn't pressure AVG to scrap the linux support.
