Yeah, it isn't nice that they stopped unmetered downloads of OO.o, but it is their right. But what the hell is Telstra doing offering an office suite for? What the! They can't even organise their communication services properly! And that is their core business!
Having just checked it out, Google Documents is its competitor, not OO.o; a technicality admittedly. Telstra will gyp you somehow (probably on the download/upload). Please have some common sense and not use this! If you thought Microsoft was bad, Telstra is exponentially worse! They just don't affect as many people.
BigPond® Office lets you create, edit and share word processing, spreadsheet and presentation documents from anywhere you can use the Internet, any time. Simply login and start working.
BigPond Office is BigPond's alternative office suite.
And best of all, it's all free* for most BigPond members.
* Use of BigPond Office is unmetered for most BigPond Broadband Members. Download/browsing charges may apply for other customers
Has anyone else ever heard of it previously? I'm an Australian and I certainly haven't. If you are an Australian and still with Telstra, do yourself a favour and check out the competition. I'm with Supernerd for $50 a month unlimited. Very happy. (It is a bit slow at 512bps, but I can't afford anything better.)
In Australia, mostly the computers for the children are administered by the teachers, followed by the librarians before being outsourced. Of course, the teachers and librarians are highly trained by reading through a ~10yo print-out of how to use a computer!
What exactly is the evidence for your supposition? Bloke, they will mate smart chicks (may or may not be beautiful) with the jocks. "They"'ll keep the beautiful chicks (may or may not be smart) for themselves.
They have the same problem we have in Australia. Is the devil you know better than the devil you don't? Are they the same devil? (The clue is in the title.) There is no real choice, it is just a pretense of a vote to satisfy the mob.
Congressman Howard Berman is reprehensible disgrace and his name and face should be plastered all over the Internet as an example of the kind of tumors who need to be excised from our government. There's a long list of them, too, Democrats and Republicans (to be fair, more GOP than Dems, but they are both well represented). He needs to be publicly disgraced until he resigns. I would much prefer a congressman whose worst offense is propositioning sex partners in public washrooms than one who sucks corporate cock right out in the open like Howard Berman.
Can anyone turn a pic of him into a marionette? Though Pinocchio could work. Maybe we could use his pic to label Riaa stories.
They're clueless about it, and are doing a generally bad job. The next generation of people won't be.
Not that I have seen. In fact, when I have explained the situation to the elder generation they have asked so "why does it cost so much?" The younger generations claim, "But the artist/author deserves to get paid..." totally ignoring that they are not getting the bulk of the profits in either case.
Are you sending your X0 (1 for me, 1 for you) to Nigeria? Hmmm? No doubt it sold for more than the original price. Thus, he impowered the seller to buy more. Damn it! sell them to Australia!
Off topic here a bit, but I have this personal theory that the laws of any government will eventually break-down, and with them (perhaps at the same time) society. No doubt this breakdown will be highlighted by nonsensical legal actions, such as this Best Buy litigation.
I actually believe society breaks down before the laws do. I think it is often the reason for the 'fading of a civilisation.'
I have yet to meet a medium or large company that doesn't allow you to escalate your call to a supervisor.
Well, I have one for you! Telstra. (Australia's major national communication provider.) On several occasions I have been refused to be escalated. I once argued for 15 minutes (I had been on the phone for over an hour) that they had to. Was refused and told that my complaint was put on my account was enough. I don't use Telstra anymore.
Actually, you can add tradesmen, laborers, the general working populace and Australians. I'm sure quite a few other categories would also fit into list. Not everyone who wants to be left alone are necessarily evil.
Samuel told the Israelites that a king would take their horses and women... (circa 2-3 BC?). The Egyptians had chariots before the Exodus, presumably pulled by horses not cattle. I am truly scratching my head to figure what the hell pp is on. err.. about.
I wouldn't know, I'm not American. I just know that very little in the present suggests they are great, today suggests that America is very strong. End of story.

I'm not sure I follow your logic. How does this get the machine fixed?

But observed evolution is always just "resistance to disease" level evolution. Damn it! I want my kids to have wings and and a prehensile tail!
Imagine what they could do for emacs!

Heh, yeah. The Aussie version is "Sheee'll be riaght, mate. Wanna beer? Sorry 'bout that upper cut, ya bloody bastard."
Awww that puts Australians at a disadvantage! Eh, we'll get over it.
