I wanted to commit a PS3 to biomedical research on a project of MY choosing, as well as play LEGIT games but that was taken because ... well it doesn't matter as it's too late now.

the RIAA is declared a terrorist organisation and all it's executive dragged off to Git-mo the better off the world, and the music industry, will be.

a new implementation of the "she'll be right, mate!" algorithm, or the "no wucken furries!" paradigm?

mmmmmmmm ... knobiliscious!

With patents on software abolished. there is still protection for software developers. It's called copyright. Patents were only ever intended to cover PHYSICAL developments, not written works. A better situation is where code can be reused so long as you credit the original source. The current system of patents prevents anyone from further developing software beyond the original patent holder's capabilities, effectively stifling innovation. Innovation comes in small steps, building on the work of others. It's how science has worked since the beginning. Patents on intellectual (imaginary?) property forces innovation to either stop dead or to operate in quantum leaps. The latter happens very rarely, while incremental innovation can be continuous. Software patents don't protect livelihoods, they strangle them in favour of large patent trolls.

I don't actually SPEAK to anyone because that would require me to interact with ... you know ... PEOPLE?

"Past" indiscretions? With the quality of their code I can't imagine a Zynga programmer being able to get a job teaching BASIC to grade school kids and their QA people must have access to THE best hallucinogenics money can buy if they think that trash is production grade software. I wouldn't hire an ex-Zynga employee to scrub toilets let alone touch a computer!

The correct suffix for a measurement in micrograms is the Greek letter Mu (like a u)g. ie g. mcg is just ... pathetic and a sad indictment on anyone who uses it.

is no longer valid. The story isn't there.

Much like regular Volvo drivers, it was oblivious to everything around it.

Trying to remove child and violent porn is a good thing, but this filter will give the government unchallenged power to control what Australians read and hear online. It will allow them to silence critics and squash any kind of dissension and debate. Once in place ANY party, whoever is in power, will be able to control far too much information. If it goes ahead there is no IF it will be abused, only a matter of WHEN.

Which planet did it eat? Planet Kenny? The bastard!

I can't think of a better advertisement FOR Linux that that!
