Really?? Still waiting for my 2.2 upgrade, but it is Telstra Australia I'm waiting on, so it may be 2015 before that happens.

Submission + - gov.au tells parents they too st00pid for intarweb
downundarob writes: Senator Nick Minchin , the Australian Shadow Minister for broadband, communications and the digital economy, has written (or more likely a staffer has written) this interesting article on the Australian Federal Governments continued zeal to enforce ISP level filtering in Australia. In the article he posits "Underlying the Rudd Government's plan to screen the internet is an offensive message: that parents cannot be trusted to mind their children online.". Meanwhile, we wait for filtering trials to start, trials that have been delayed and which have next-to-no support among the industry. Telstra BigPond — Australia's largest ISP — has refused to take part, comparing internet filtering to "like trying to boil the ocean". The third largest, iiNet, is prepared to participate to highlight flaws.

Submission + - finding a 'good' and 'helpful' shoutcast host
downundarob writes: "I'm looking after the audio streaming for a local speedway racing circuit, so over the last few weekes I've been looking for a shoutcast hosting service to suit my needs. Easy you think? It doesnt seem that way!
Last season the system was designed in a hurry and utilised WinMedia, thus cutting off those who couldn't avail themselves of it, so this year I thought I would go with Shoutcast/Icecast for mp3/ogg streaming, and to top it off would use the Java applet available from Javazoom the problem being that java security requires the applet to be hosted within the same domain as the stream originates from and the webhost provider doesnt do shoutcast.
Do you think I can find a shoutcast hosting provider that hosts this file? The guys at Server Room claim to support it, but their support service tells me its a 'plugin I have to install on my machine' and when I point out the error of their ways simply stop responding to the chat.
So I'm still looking for a shoutcast (or Icecast) hosting provider that will assist in the hosting of this file.
Any takers?"
Submission + - The Woz says, Aussie broadband plans 'Adequate'.
downundarob writes: In a story here Steve Wozniak has described the targeted data transmission speeds of Australia's national broadband network as "adequate... though not ultimate". One of the cornerstones of the Federal Government's election platform was its AU$4.7 billion (about US$4.39 trillion) pledge to rollout a fibre-to-the-node national broadband network. This would bring speeds of at least 12 megabits per second (Mbps) to 98 per cent of the population.
