except the NBN co is a pubkic-private partnership.

and almost all of what you said is wrong.

nice modpointage though.

gonna need a citation for that.

... and that's all in 1 night!

if it can track my frigging receipts i'll take it come tax time, NSA or no NSA.

does not compute.

bollocks! they'll have overlays in camera. the 1st AD will look and say "AY! your eyeline is off! take 2!"

they're talking about offloading post to pre...

the work will all still be there, only now there's even more for the poor assistant editor to wrangle, because files wont be nicely named if they're done in a rush on set. forget about shot numbers, reel numbers, timecode, etc etc.

more to do means more to forget, fuck up your shot, and have to fix in post.

cinematographers like it choppy.

change it and the film changes.

not saying it's good, just that frame-rates aren't everything to consider in a movie, as you're not whipping your virtual head all over the place. a camera isn't the same as a player's head in an FPS, and there's a whole language of how to move that camera around and how best to point it at things (and how to cast light on that thing in the best way possible to produce a certain effect).

besides, most of post is editing. something george lucas is quite familiar with given how many times he's revisited his little trilogy. editing will not go away until we get one-take actors (and more importantly one-take directors!).

*disclaimer - i work in post, but mercifully not VFX.

greens preferences are actually pretty on-message. no nasty surprises there. in fact, i should have just voted above the line because i didn't do hours of research but they did, so some of my manual preferences will have been fudged.

not entirely. the flow on of preferences is fiendishly complicated, even if you only vote above the line.

the below-the-line votes haven't even been counted yet. in my state there were 97 boxes that you had to put a number in. one number wrong and the vote doesn't count.

add to that the fact that most people still don't know how preferential voting works.

tl;dr: i drew a 4 foot long dick on my senate ballot, after meticulously numbering 97 candidates in ascending order of my hatred of the candidate.

non-australians: our Liberal party is basically the opposite of liberal.

that's cute - posting AC and still concerned enough about how people see you to disclaim yourself :)

(Disclaimer: i'm not such a cunt in real life)

the cell part, yes. the fuel part, no.

think of it as like a battery that doesn't carry the electrochemical stuff with it, but takes it from fuel.

it'll take natural gas. RTFA. it'll take that horrible e85 stuff too. hell, you could probably feed it on corn syrup if you're going down that route.

this man needs the mods.

i love mixed metaphors. a chain of Jenga blocks :)
