Australia is a penal colony the British Empire shipped its worst troublemakers to...
Unless you live in South Australia. We're the only state that wasn't founded by the original settlers.
Hell I may even buy a new laptop and buy two copies. One for home and on the go.
If it's on Steam, you could just buy the one copy and log in on both machines.
I hate reading comments in most papers (and slashdot) where anonymous trolls spew the worst rhetoric just to get a rise out of people. (BTW, good job here, it worked on me)
This is why (up until recently) I clicked the "hide comments" button on YouTube so I wouldn't find myself reading and replying to trolling. Now that YouTube has gone all 3.0 on us and no longer has that option (that I've seen, anyway) I just hide the entire comment block with the Adblock Element Hider extension for Firefox. Out of sight, out of mind.
The problem, though, is that they generally aren't willing to face the reality of the issue.
Partially correct. The main problem (in Australia at least) is that teachers have no power (legally) to do anything drastic. All a student has to do is make a complaint to their parents that "teacher did this to me" even if it's an outright lie, and the parents come after the school. Who do you think (most) parents will believe when little Johnny comes to them with some bullshit story and the teacher denies it?
Teachers can only yell so much, and the worst of the students will just laugh at them. A few generations ago the teachers were allowed to give them a rap on the knuckles or a kick up the arse and the parents would assume the retribution was well deserved. Students had a lot more respect for their teachers and parents.
IANAT, but both of my parents are, and I hear some awful stories. My mother is a principal and she has been kicked and spat on by students. She's even come home in tears from the verbal abuse she's received.
How much you wanna bet that the difference is a tax writeoff?

They aren't their for convenience, they are clearly there to move people faster.
Would they then not be called an accelerator? I hear the weather down at the LHC is rather nice this time of year.
I'm trying to remember the last time I saw someone (besides me) walking up an escalator. They are there for convenience, after all, not for helping you get somewhere faster.
Funny you should say that actually, since I'm trying to remember the last time I saw someone (besides me) standing still on an escalator. Mind you in Australia we're all on our way to meet Saxton Hale and his endless supply of Australium, so we have little time to waste.
But if the
I bet Stephen Conroy's loving this then. A quick and easy way to block (some) porn in Australia.
