I kind of hope she DOES get elected in 2012. Maybe it will be the final straw in stopping my government from pandering the the US.

When the teacher left the classroom in my year 8 maths class, my classmates would raid his desk for drawing pins to throw into the ceiling fans.

I spend up to fifteen minutes a day, fielding calls that never end up being for me.

Who gives a hoot? --------- Also, why the hell didn't it submit the first time I tried to post this?

Don't discount the latter half of the GPs post, just because the first is tripe. Assassinating/collapsing foreign governments/officials is dumb, but that's never stopped the CIA from trying/succeeding in the past in the past. (Iran, Cuba, Iraq, Nicaragua, etc)

No. It's about a group of scaremongers, luddites and technophobes who refer to themselves as the Australian Christian Lobby, and their influence on 2-3 key members of our government.

Dwarf Fortress. Nuff' said.

It's not the glasses, it's the framerate. Standard theatre projectors run at 30fps, and 3D via polarisation effectively halves this. The reason it hurts is because you are essentially staring at a 15Hz display.

Oh my goodness, so many spams and scams are coming through the portal - Somebody call Senator Conroy, quick!

There's a lot Gimp has over Photoshop too. I spent 2-3 years using the Gimp, before switching to Photoshop for 2 years of graphic design courses. I don't use the Gimp anymore - Photoshop is more refined, and has a much simpler interface, and its treatment of multiple colourspaces is unmatched. I still miss several Gimp features though - being able to crop a layer to the visible area with a single click, having fine control over rendering tools like spirogimp and the fractal tool and the gradient tool. Sure, Photoshop has a gradient tool, but it's not a patch on the Gimps one.*

*These views are based on versions 2.2 - 2.4 of the Gimp and CS2 - CS4 of Photoshop

This would be fine, except for one thing. The idiots are sheep. They don't vote randomly, they follow the the leader. Sure they leader may be an intelligent/benevolent* influence, but even so, this doesn't change the fact the the crowd are still stupid.

*In my experience this is rairly the case. Rather, the crowd tend to follow the the loudest bigot who affirms their prejudices.

Dammit, meant to say can't get ADSL1 from Internode, or iiNet, or Westnet, or any of the decent ISPs in the country.

Not always. I'm on a zone 3 exchange (ESPR, Zone 3), with Telstra providing the only DSL2 DSLAM in the exchange, and I can only get ADSL1 from Internode, or iiNet, or Westnet, or any of the decent ISPs in the country.

This is your pilot speaking. There is absolutely no cause for alarm.
