Except their only payment portal doesn't accept payment using US credit cards. The portal told me themselves when they rejected 3 of my cards and a Paypal temporary credit card.
As someone who frequently rescues dumped, starving house cats on my farm, they do not "survive just fine". It is an tolerably cruel notion to domesticate an animal and "release it into the wild" to fend for itself.
The perfect response to a bullsh*t KDawson article like this. I know slashdot has a self-confessed linux bias, but it doesn't mean they need to make themselves look like a$$hats.
Couldn't the same be said of Linux? Hook you for free but then if you want to change OS you're stuck?
It doesn't make sense does it? Neither does your "insightful" comment. Data files are free to roam, however plenty of programs are locked to a particular OS.
My parents live 40 minutes from the centre of Canberra (the capital city of Oz) and they can't even get basic broadband. How about the Oz govt does something about getting broadband to all instead?
Mate, I don't know who the fuck you are, but you're sure as fuck not an Aussie if you object to the term "down under". Maybe it's being surrounded by yanks that does it, but you sound a bit too up tight to have been in the country more than an hour or two.
I've never even heard of someone objecting to the term.
I'm Australian living in Boston, and I wanted other Australians back home to know, that this was a large article in the free daily commuter newspaper.
So this backwards thinking by the Oz government, has been noticed around the world as backwards.
PS I'm pleased to see no references to "down under" yet. Australians HATE Australia being referred to as "down under". We are all stuck to the ball of rock by gravity. We are ALL on top of it, not under.
*sigh* Yet another state I have to scratch off my list of "Potential States I Could Possibly Move To".
Even if these legislators don't represent the majority (which I think is the real case), they have now represented their lovely state to the world as a bunch of backward, in-bred, witch-burning first-amendment haters.

This was my immediate first reaction as well.. and then "Can I trust a review from someone who hasn't read Cryptonomicon?"
AvP? That rubbish series doesn't even count as part of the real Alien series.
I find it perfectly believable that a machine may be able to outsmart KDawson.... or at least be a better editor.
Sorry! I forgot that you can pay for things over the internet with goodwill.

Worst. Article. Ever.
Timothy, wake up and post something other than a Dice.com ad.
If Hogwarts had e-books instead of dead-tree books, then Harry would never have been able to cheat in Potions class from Snape's childhood crib notes!
Please! Think of the children!
At last! I hope my magnetic personality won't wipe this new technology as well.
...and a poor set of icons. I think the horrible icon library that came with Delphi may be one of the other reasons it failed.
Finally! After all these years we've found a useful application of science.

-Requiring high altitudes for all planes, military or civilian, and producing auto-shoot auto-aim turrets around the ciy with no warning shots.
Wouldn't an auto-cannon have shot down the plane that was forced to crash-land in the Hudson river? Nice plan, Mr Fix-It.
He showed his colors when he voted on the FISA bill months before the election. Perhaps you should pay more attention before voting next time?

Try growing a pair.. that's how.
So true. So funny. So ultimately depressing. Huffy is so one-eyed, Ulysses tried to poke its eye out.
I saw this at least 3-4 years ago.
and what have YOU done lately, hotshot?
Get off your bum and write the Greasemonkey script for it then!

Hmph... You must be a New Zealander...
