The ASIO is a wonderful organisation which has always put the democratic values of Australia first and never wasted any of its resources.

It's lightweight and allows me to make a simple custom status bar, which is all I really want or need.

Fair Enough. I kinda went for the rhetorical interpretation of "Is this a joke?", but I can see now that it didn't warrant a "woosh".

Sorry, I really didn't think anyone would take that seriously.

Woosh.

Personally, I blame the compiler for failing to optimize properly.

I wish I had something I think is elegant but most code I try to read tends to be a bit of a grind.

Writing code can be like explaining something or teaching. You can give an explanation that is logically correct but difficult for a human to follow. Programmers tend to neglect this in their code because it can be difficult to construct something that reads well and even if it doesn't read well, it can still be executed by a computer.

I like to think that if code is 'elegant', it can be read well after at most after brief explanation of how the algorithm is supposed to work, because code alone is sometimes difficult to interpret.

The reasons I use ad-block are 1. because sites like the Pirate Bay have pornographic ads all over them, which is really unpleasant, and 2. Some sites have ridiculous ads everywhere that produce sound, animate, make things annoying to read when you see random words with two underlines and slow down your browser. If everybody used simple sidebar and banner ads without the typical annoyances they sometimes harbour, I don't think there would be a need for ad-blocking and it's likely advertising would become more effective and therefore, worth a lot more.

Which is why you don't put either of the major parties first. You wouldn't want either to get your public funding.

Anybody heard of a low-pass filter? Smooths PWM out very nicely.

So, in general, through all the high school programs that UNSW has available, I'd say it attracts the best students. It just so happens that I know a decent proportion of the students that participated in this competition and I know that they had a keen interest in computer science; so these are the better, more experienced, more enthusiastic students we're talking about here.

Also, UNSW's main security course, COMP9447, is cited as being a good course by people I know who've done it and is very popular amongst the students: They extended the enrollment in the course for this semester at least once (not sure by how much) and there are still many students who missed out.

Yeah, he's that one professor that probably makes UNSW a good security university.

Hmm, let's see...

Firefox, Iceweasel, Web (gnome), Chromium, Dillo, surf, w3m, lynx, links.

It's not really that many
