Most states in Australia have a demerit system in place for traffic offenses. Not only do you pay a fine, but you lose a certain number of "points" from your license. Once you have no points left (you get 12 every 3 years), you get your license suspended. Rich or poor, everyone's in the sa...

Australian universities don't generally have "homework", as such - study is supposed to be self-directed. There are assignments that are worth part of your final mark, but in my experience actual homework is fairly rare. As for high school, we were generally expected to spend an hour per n...

My smoke alarm.

The bloody thing goes through about one battery every twenty minutes - or that's what it seems like. It chirps perkily to tell me that the battery is going flat, thus achieving nothing more than having me want to rip the whole damn thing off the ceiling.

If she only needs facts, then http://www.dpreview.com/ is probably worth checking out.

People who think it's your job to understand what they're trying to say, not their job to say it in a way that you can understand it.

Rhyming. Gaaah. I can stand poetry, but people using rhyming couplets in another context just bugs the fuck out of me.

No, I don't know why.

Ben Charney, news.com wrote:Justin Timberlake ... who, accidentally or not, helped her partially disrobe.

Marvellous. She has her hands in the air, he reaches across and pulls off part of her outfit. How is he "helping her" when she's not even participating?

Double spaces were traditionally used after full stops in monospaced fonts, to break up the sentence appropriately. In proportional fonts they're not just unnecessary, they're actually deleterious - the font is designed to provide the appropriate amount of whitespace after a full stop when you add j...

The difference is that you don't need books to live.

Part of the problem I see with this approach is that in refusing to accept Hitler as human, you deny the fact that humans *have* that capacity to be "evil". It's us doing bad stuff to each other, not anyone from outer space oppressing us. Ignoring that seems wilfully naive to me.

I'd be interested to know where Americans would place the line between Right and Left.

For what it's worth, this seems fairly consonant with Australian views on the issue.

Well, Flame's "rule" was talking about *new* people. CE's not a new person, not by a long, long shot. Ergo, of course he's an exception, because the rule doesn't apply to his 'category' of Drekker in the first place.

Oh, compared with my last job, it's fine.

(My last job was working for the Child Support Agency. Now that was unpopular.)

There's been pretty impressive storming all up and down the eastern coast of Australia. We were hammered with massive storms every night last week, and more expected tomorrow. (Nice of them to take a break for the weekend, though.)

To be honest, I hadn't even considered it as being an existing Drekker. The type of baiting seemed... too inane, I suppose.

Whoever it is, I wish they'd just go away.

Jestyr

I would agree with Thorn; I think those who disagree just tend to keep their mouths shut, and post on the more laid-back threads, instead of weighing in on the meatier 'social issues' type of thread.

-7.25/-6.15.

Not a huge shock.

Then you'd have missed out on X-Men and X-Men 2, which were damn entertaining movies.

For god's sake, Pirates of the Caribbean was based on a Disney ride and that didn't stop it being one of the most entertaining movies I've seen in several years.

Not to mention those with slow connections are probably already running with avatars and/or sigs off.

It's often said that most fantasy RPGs are based on Tolkien's work. Well, here's Tolkien's work based on an RPG. It's funny 'cause it's true.

I'll throw in a vote for CDEX too. Simple, reliable, and fast. And free.

I haven't looked at the poll yet, but does this mean Thorn and Caz are going to get 50 votes for naming their child Veed, 23 for Boltgrinder and maybe 3 for names you *wouldn't* be embarrassed to call out in a playground?

Depends what he wants the laptop for. Is it a desktop replacement? Then I'd go with a PC. Is it a small portable machine to do [a specific range of things] while away from home base? Then a Mac might be the way to go. Or it might not. Depends what the 'things' are. For instance, when I bought a lapt...

I've usually heard different flavours of Christianity referred to as "denominations". But, certainly, "sect" is a perfectly valid and non-offensive* word that's commonly used here, as well, for different branches of other religions. * - I can only assume it's non-offensive; the P...

*snort* We saw a trailer for this last night while at the movies, and we were laughing out loud at how /bad/ it looked. Sweet jesus, it's every bad cliche rolled into one movie.

Hi IC, welcome back.

Nothing new here... failed to get a promotion at work that I really wanted, so I'm still stuck doing a tedious job that's completely not what I'm suited for. Other than that, same old, same old.

"When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." If I had one of these, everything in my house would be neatly bisected within a matter of minutes. The house itself might not escape either.

It is. Same situation with Australia - to visit the US, I pay about half what an American pays to visit here, planet-ticket-wise.

I would say, though, that if you're attempting to convey a message with your movie, you've failed if people have to watch supplemental material to get your message.

Well, this should be interesting. I so hope they do a good job; very easy to bollocks this kind of thing up. Mind you, Simon Jones and David Dixon are the quintessential Arthur and Ford in my mind. They were so perfect for the roles, it'll be hard imagining anyone else doing as well. Edit: Yay! They...

It's weaker against the AUD as well. GenCon 2002, it was about USD0.50 to AUD1.00. Now it's 0.77 to 1. Quite happy with that, and will be right up until my next cheque in USD arrives.

It's just a shame the designer didn't realise there's more casual sans serif fonts than just Comic Sans. *sigh* The most over-used typeface in history. I really hate it by now.
