  1. Re:Could make sense on Australia's Telstra Requires Fibre Customers To Use Copper Telephone · · Score: 1

    It could make sense but how many have line powered phones anymore? We haven't for at least 10 years (about the same length of time I have had a mobile funnily enough!)

  2. For this reason.... on Children Used To Steal Parents' Data · · Score: 1

    My kids have their own computers and don't use mine.

  3. Re:Is it necessary? on Australian Police Spying On Web, Phone Usage With No Warrants · · Score: 1

    I mean what threat is or has Australia ever faced???

    Rabbits!

    That and Japan dropped more bombs on Darwin than on Pearl Harbour, and then had another 100 goes at attacks on Australian soil. (They didn't kill as many people though).

  4. Compared to "Browser" on Google Releases Chrome For Android Beta · · Score: 1

    It's crap. Well on my ICS tablet at least. The performance compared to the built it browser is crap, the no desktop mode makes it even more so. I will be sticking to the built in one until Chrome makes some SERIOUS headway.

  5. Nooooo on Should Next-Gen Game Consoles Be Upgradeable? · · Score: 1

    We have an original Wii, and it's becoming a PITA telling the kids that they can't have that new whatever game because we don't have the MotionPlus controllers, The same goes for the Move controllers for the PS3. You could say go buy the add-ons, but why? I paid $600AUD for my PS3, and not much less for my Wii. I am not forking out another ~$200 for extra bits. The joy of consoles is that you shouldn't have to worry about the hardware. Just grab a game and stick it in and enjoy.

  6. The terrorists have won. on Text Message Brands Quebec Man a Terror Suspect · · Score: 2

    They have succeeded in turning America and it's northern neighbours (who I thought had more sense) into paranoid lunatics!

  7. People don't take Windows seriously! on Nokia CEO Blames Salesmen For Windows Phone Struggles · · Score: 1

    Common Nokia, you had you chance 4yrs when the iPhone to get your act together, and you didn't. Then once your almost dead in the market, you take on Windows Mobile? You would have had a good chance surviving if you took on Android, but not any more. I loved your phones for 10yrs, owning about 12 of them in that time, until I got my iPhone. Goodbye Nokia, it will be sad to see you go.

  8. Re:Keep It Simple on Ask Slashdot: Techie Wedding Invitation Ideas? · · Score: 1

    So in a regular "American" wedding your guests just show up and get free food?

    Not just in America, it's the go here in Australia and I dare say in the UK as well! You bring gifts that people either have, or will never use, unless they where smart enough to set up a gift registry but I always see them as being a bit tacky. Then you get plied you with food and alcohol to celebrate their wedding!

  9. Re:Keep It Simple on Ask Slashdot: Techie Wedding Invitation Ideas? · · Score: 1

    Mine was a tiny event. Very close friends, only family that talk to us.

    Exactly! We had maybe 30-40ppl at out wedding and it was the best day ever (as they should be!). You knew everyone there really well, no 4th cousins that you had to invite becuase Great Aunt Marg said so! We did get kinda smashed though, but that was what we where doing at the time! It was all paid for at the time, no loans or anything. Every time we drive past the little hall where we had the reception my both start smiling like newly weds again, even 12 yrs later!

  10. Re:Nintendo is one of the gatekeepers on Y Combinator Wants To Kill Hollywood · · Score: 1

    But Nintendo and the other console makers still insist that a producer of works make its name on another platform before being allowed to distribute on the console.

    If this is true, I understand their point of view. Imaging what damage someone could do to Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft if they made a game, promoted it heavy as the greatest thing for (consoel name goes here), and it turned out to be truly shit. It could damage the consoles image. They have to be a little protective of their consoles and the way to do that is have veto over what they allow to be released.

  11. No offence to the people of the USA.... on US Threatens Spain For Not Implementing SOPA-Like Law · · Score: 1

    But you Government really needs to f@#$ off and mind it's own business. "Team America - World Police" is becoming a reality, and it's not welcome.

  12. Ripple Strips on Ford System Will Warn, Correct Lane-Drifting Drivers · · Score: 1

    You could do what we do here in Oz. They paint ripple strips down the side and middle of the roads. If your car wheel drifts onto it you get a bum tingling vibration through the vehicle to get your attention. Works a treat, annoys the wife and makes the kids laugh to boot!
