  1. Re:Temporary reprieve, but on Aussie Net Filtering Trial Delayed · · Score: 1

    Hell yeah! It's time to cut a few tall poppies down starting with these corrupt assholes. Does anyone remember Comrade Kevin promising a broadband initiative during his campaign? This filter was what he was promising! Fuck the government. They have far too much power in this country...

    And both are still run by criminals!

  3. Re:Lest we get excited. on HP May Be Developing Its Own Version of Linux · · Score: 1

    Totally agreed. About a year ago I was "asked" (being the allocated family nerd) to get rid of some m$.viruses.m$ and "it stopped working" type nagging. As I was told all backups were done (thankfully I taught them about that) I just installed Linux on my Mothers and my Sisters pc's. So, a year or so later after no crashes, viruses and an apparent abundance of magically free software they asked me what Linux was! I was delighted to tell them they have been using it for around a year. At first I had Ubuntu but have settled on Fedora 8. If they were asked today what a "cli" or even an "os" was, I'm sure they couldn't tell me. They're not stupid, it's just not their forte. So, in my opinion "the average user" just doesn't care or more to the point doesn't even know.

    Debian has the best motto; "Release when it's ready". That's the best policy to have imho 'Nuff said

    I stopped listening to triple j ages ago, it just suck now. I also no longer listen to r Dr Karl, I respect him but sometimes jjj would have 5 or 6 songs between his calls. I mean, WHAT'S THE FRIGGIN POINT OF HAVING HIM IN.......??? I'd much rather listen to the programs on radio national. TV sucks anyways..just don't watch it! /rant over
