On top of all that, Telstra has just scrapped plans to roll out a national fibre-to-the-node network, so the status quo isn't likely to change anytime soon.
Quite frankly, Telstra's FttN proposal would have obliterated broadband competition. Let's step back for a minute. If Telstra had gone ahead with FttN (and the ACCC allowed them to monopolise it), every ISP that had rolled out their DSLAMs would be left stranded as they would be worthless. With FttN, the DSLAMs at the exchange become useless as customers would not be able to access them. This would be a terrible thing, especially since ADSL2+ can deliver far more than what Telstra were offering anyway.
Australia isn't interested in banning gambling as it brings in so much money. They just want to ban online gambling, as the money is likely to leave the country and not get taxed by the Australian government! This is protectionism, not some moral judgement on the part of the Australian government.
I think you've failed to understand how stupid that particular piece of legislation is.
It bans Australians from using an online gambling site IN AUSTRALIA ONLY (money staying in the country)
It does not ban the following: - Australians using an online gambling site overseas (money going out of the country) - Foreigners from using Australian online gambling sites (money coming into the country)
Yet another gem from the desk of the World's Biggest Luddite.

I'll take the checks and face the facts, while some producer with computers fixes all my shitty tracks
Then again, we have a flood of "Some unknown vs. Well known artist of old (80's etc.)" with the well known artist's song and just repeating the first line of the chorus to some shitty backing dance crap. At least some poptarts try singing the whole song, albeit without the feeling, intent, or even in the same key, "danced up" and sounding absolutely horrible.
OpenBSD and FreeBSD have live distros. Don't know about NetBSD. Google is your friend.
What part of 10 Best Security Live CD Distros (Pen-Test, Forensics & Recovery) did you not understand? The ones reviewed are geared towards forensic analysis and such, not just a secure OS in general. From what Google tells me, there aren't any live BSD systems that fit the article's title.
Apparently someone trademarked Burger King in Australia before the big fast food company got here. They tried to sell it to Burger King for an enormous profit but the price they asked was too high and Burger King simply decided to come up with a different name - Hungry Jacks. At least, that's the urban legend I grew up hearing.
That's not as funny as the fish and chip shop owner near Tugan on the Gold Coast. He has a sign up on his shop, "Hungry? Come to Jack's seafood". A few years ago, a Hungry Jacks moved in across the Pacific Motorway from him and then proceeded to sue him for a trademark breach. The judge threw the case out as the sign wasn't a trademark breach and also because the sign had been up before the name Hungry Jack's was even trademarked in Australia.
For "educational purposes", other that casual self-education, one year is useless. An institution can't do a course on the basis of a one year lifespan. It genuinely is a "first hit is free" approach.
FFS. The Express editions are a ONCE-OFF download. There is no ongoing subscription. Currently, you can download it for free. In a year's time, you will have to pay MS for the once-off download. Repeat: There is no ongoing subscription costs associated with the express editions.
One of these defenses was requiring authentication for all RPC access
That's great until you realise that certain MS products require anonymous RPC/COM in order to function correctly. SMS 2.0 Admin Console is one of them.
MySQL should be compared with M$ SQL Server, though it has less features at present, because both are distributed, client-server architectures.
Precisely. SQL Server comes with the Enterprise Manager GUI, MySQL comes with no GUI.
Aussie ISP Internode (one of the better alternatives to BigPond) deliberately block various types of malware (usually port blocking but other means have been employed such as IP blocking a client's IP) and an advisory is placed on the service status page indicating what is blocked and for how long.
With the exception of the fact that Aussies MUST have a local call provider attached to the line that is using DSL. There is no business way to get DSL without it. (Yes I know that there aren't any technical reasons why it can't be done) Telstra even have a product with almost no line rental charges. The only caveat, it doesn't support DSL.

Correction: "In the middle of my backswing!"
It was that frelling Farscape reference that finally did it.
Touché.

7. The registry is required for the desktop to run, and is thus part of the desktop.
Huh? That's just as sane an argument as the filesystem is required for the desktop to run, thus it's a part of the desktop, and so is the BIOS.

I would think the Gartner Hype Machine would have a hand in this.

they've made it free so that you can use it for educational and non-commercial purposes
The Express editions are also free for commercial use as well.
That's a nice read. Thanks.

It gives me the correct answer of 0 on my G4 PB (10.4.2).
Did anybody notice that the printing system in OS X supports the same printers as CUPS?
I'll assume that you also noticed that it is CUPS.
Simple. Go to bookmark a page as you normally would and select "Bookmark all tabs in a folder".
It create a folder with all the tabs in it and you can right-click on the folder and open them all up at once.
At least that's how 1.0.3 does it.
Which goes with the obvious that Windows 2000 is based on New Technology Technology.

They will happily unblock the port for you at your request. No questions asked.

There's a difference between a premier provider and an incumbent, half-government owned provider which does a half-arsed job.
