To be fair it is a pretty awesome video.

Too late :(

Australia. The tipping dollars are paper (generally come in $1 or $2 varieties). Our legitiment currency is plastic.

In aus you buy "Tipping Dollars" which are paper. Smallest note here is a 5 and all the notes are plastic.

Answer the door naked, that usually works.

And the opposition are busy "opposing", so they aren't going to support anything the government wants to do.

Most of the secuirty industry is light years behind the rest of the world, their gear is really basic, the software to manage it is atrocious and the way they operate is very archaic. Imagine the dismay on the installers face when he asked for an Analogue phone line and the best we could offer him was a port on our FXS gateway (yeah not a great idea), we eventually convinced them to install a GPRS card in the system.

Actually I would be very surprised. They would have to do a complete 180 flip on how they've behaved as the opposing party for the last 3 years. Which mainly consists of opposing everything and slagging off at every opportunity. I dare say that's part of the reason why the Greens got 4% of the swing away from Labor and the Coalition (liberals) only got 1.5%. Admittedly they need to change their tactics, but being a conservative party, change isn't going to happen fast.

My facts are my personal experiences over the years, so take that as a testimonial of some random Internet user. But for a better and more complete explanation the quicktime alternative was written for a reason and the facts stated here may go a long way to let you know why. I mean seriously a picture viewer? Also, why on earth would a I want a _Video Codec_ to install a system service for updating and another one for making quicktime load faster for that 1 time every six months I'll use it. Applications that behave in this manner are a personal pet hat of mine (I repackage applications for a living) and Apple are big culprits for doing this (they are not alone here, I'm looking at you Adobe).

Offtopic note: Answering slashdot posts whilst taking hell desk calls doesn't always work as expected ;)

IMO Opinion quicktime causes windows to slow down and also likes to install background services. The Quicktime Alternative is just far less bloated and seems to work just as well. Also you aren't forced to use the quicktime player, it just behaves like any other normal video codec.

iTunes without QuickTime Get iTune Not necessarily. I don't own one, but a few of my friends have iDevices and the only way I'll support them is if they let me install itunes this way!

Consumer grade HPs have really massive bloated drivers. Steer clear. Fuji Xerox stuff is a bit more spendy, but tend to support a heap of standards and have tiny drivers.

There is a choice, don't vote for the major parties - Vote Green - No Filter and Support the NBN
