last time I checked, WoW wasn't Refused Classification.
Doesn't matter, Unclassified games require Classification before they can be distributed in Australia. That's how the law is now, nothing has changed. Now Conroy has bleated on that "Only things that are Refused classification will be filtered" but there is always "Scope Creep"...
Maybe, but a game that has no classification falls into the same boat. Technically to distribute a game in Australia you have to apply to get it classified. Which costs money (a non trivial amount from what I gather, but I don't know the figures).
Well at least in China, it's all about fear. The government don't want you to look at stuff and will do their darndest to block it, and what isn't blocked they make it well known that things are being logged and you can be tracked down for viewing such "banned" material.
The Australian Labour government want to create a nanny internet where nothing "bad" can be visible by anyone. So in reality the proposed filters will be more controlling than the Chinese governments "Great Firewall"...
Scary, sutpid, yet no one in the current Government seems to "Get It"
Main problem being there is no R18+ for games. There have been many attempts to get it, but it remains stuck at M15+. So too much blood or boobs will get the game given an RC classification. What's worse is mechanical gore, they just don't know how to classify it, so it automatically gets an RC. Go figure... Stupid idiots in charge of this country! (RC = Refused Classification)
Some of the advertising is in slightly annoying locations and I detest "Flashvertising" (flashblock saves my CPU cycles). Not to say I'm against advertising, just prefer it not to get in the way of what I'm trying to do. Marketers will say that it would defeat the purpose of advertising, but personally I'm more inclined to click on a link that is not so in my face then some big flashing neon sign saying I must absolutely try product X. I'll go as saying the subtle targeted advertising in my gmail account has actually pointed me towards products I may never have found or even thought of.
They might be other sites around, but I've had difficulty in the past finding pinouts, let alone ones that were correct. Most I found tended to be fairly inconsistent in the way things were laid out. If it proves to be as good a resource as wikipedia it's a step in the right direction IMO.
There are Jews in the world. There are Buddhists. There are Hindus and Mormons, and then There are those that follow Mohammed, but I've never been one of them.

Every sperm is sacred. Every sperm is great. If a sperm is wasted, God gets quite irate.
I think you have failed to press the "Hollywood Accounting" button on your calculator, I think you'll find once you do, the numbers will line up.... (How such obvious corruption is allow to exist I'll never know)
I think I'd just convert to working for Cash, Put all my assets in someone elses name, just to make sure they'd never get a dime outta me. Completely Ridiculous!
Thanks, I hadn't run into a lot of those. Good to know! Great for a home dev environment though. Before I moved house, my box had been running Nearly a year straight. Uptime not so great at the moment, long power failure and I've done a few upgrades!
Meh, good on 'em. Gotta start some time! The longer we leave it, the worse it will get. IPv6 isn't really a big deal at a protocol level, it's just all the stuff that isn't IPv4 ready and IPv6 -> IPv4 tunnel or Dual Stack will sort that out...
More Info Who knows if they are economically viable, but I drive over such bumps in car parks all the time, and all they there for are to remind you to slow down. If they can generate some power at the same time, what difference does it make?
Well TFA's I've read so far are a bit light on from a physics stand point, but they look like they depress slightly when you go over them, Then return to normal after driving off them. Going up the steep driveway found at most Super Markets I visit would consume more energy!
And if that negligible amount "leeched" from your vehicle, so small that you'd never notice, meant that the Super Market didn't have the expense of paying for power, could mean you as the consumer may pay less for your groceries.
Can't believe the arguments against this today, shows a total lack of understanding in regards to physics.
it'd probably have a measurable effect on fuel usage, though.
I doubt the difference would be notable, would need to see some serious figures before I'd believe it was anything more than close to nothing. How about we put our cities in a giant dome with a constant client, because changes in temperature can cause our vehicles to use more or less fuel...
Well maybe they can integrate it into the bazillion speed humps then. The energy may not be "free" but I certainly think all the arguments I've read on this article are ridiculous. The energy "Stolen" from drivers would be negligible, most of the energy would be coming from that wonderful thing called gravity!
MSI's are far easier to deploy than EXE's, because they work in a relatively consistent manner (there are some niggles here and there, but you learn those). Every EXE can be packaged differently, some self extracting, some install shield, etc and they all have different switches to get them going, if it can be done at all. Also MSI installs are far easier for deployment software to monitor the progress, so no time delay tricks when moving onto the next app to deploy.
Mozilla may not make MSI's, but you can get them from Front Motion or you can package them yourself with something like AdminStudio, which Is damn trivial because FF isn't intricately tied to the windows backend.
ESXi might be less mature, but it's free! Works pretty flawlessly and it's so damn similar to ESX it's not funny. Major differences are you can't tie a VM to a serial port and no real *nix console (there is a console, but it's f'ing limited) all CLI stuff is replaced with the Remote CLI, which I hear is pretty powerful, but I've not had the need to use it yet.

Yeah, but I'm envious of a 95% accuracy, if I could get that whilst walking, I'd be a less bruised man.
It might be a technicality. But it's the way the Law is written. You can't warp the law to fit the situation, if the law is wrong you change it.

The filters are only capable of filtering HTTP and DNS so far.. Yeah that's going to stop all the nasties....

TPB aren't distributing said copy righted works. That's like saying the post office is responsible for the contents of all the mail sent.
<sarcasm> Like all the other vital Government controlled anti-spam operations.... </sarcasm>
