Re: Netflix is good but ...
Which is illegal. So why don't you save the money and illegally download it?
Why would you pay money to break the law?
But you will need to have foxtel at home. This allows Optus to 'tape' the shows that are only on foxtel to people who do not subscribe to foxtel (sky equiv)
This breaks the pay tv model
No test track
Darwin to Adelaide is one of the furtherest things from a test track! Which is why the race has been going for so long.
I am not some of the entrances know what they are signing up too.
You don't get it
You just don't get it. 99% of the worlds population don't do, or need to do excel spread sheets! That is the market ARM (and iPads) are going after
A phone that you care about for more than 6 months?
How about commitment to a phone. At the moment it is all about the very latest bells and whistles phone. If you have the bells and whistles phone from 6 months ago it is all but abandoned. My 5800 has dozens of 'things' that need fixing from a usability point of view but Nokia's view seems to be 'fix' it on the next model.
AFCT got what was comming to them going after an ISP that could not afford to defend themselves.
They went after the biggest ISP that would probably not be able to afford the legal fees.
Now they have to pay around $4mil in costs plus their own legal fees.
And heavier than a mac pro as well
And heavier than a mac pro as well (13" one anyway)
So an extra £100 gets you a lighter, skinnier 13" mac pro with a 7hr battery life

Yep, probably the last time they updated the browser and interface :-)
Why can't they spend the money on shutting down the sites on the list?
Why can't they spend the money on shutting down the sites on the list rather than just trying to block them?
What?
"the concept is flawed anyhow. Much better to have a dedicated server." --- WHAT?
I don't need (or want to pay for) a 16 core dedicated server to run a little proxy (to get round BBC's iplayer restrictions) and some tools for work (external host to check defenses etc.) I run a couple of scripts. So you would rather we have 100 individual servers running at 1% utilized using all that power and generating heat rather than 2 boxes running 100 virtual servers?
I have been with vaserv for a while now and they offer exactly what I want - cheap, small linux box.

Didn't they google it first?

Re: city dwellers while the bush is left to rot
You decided to live in the bush knowing the consequences (like people buying a house under a flight path and then complain about the noise.)
It has been the appeasement of the bush that has held broadband speed back for the rest of us. For a country with one of the highest proportions of the population living in cities we have one of the the slowest networks.
The other issue is the pipes to the rest of the world - local speeds are almost irrelevant if the speeds to the rest of the internet is the bottleneck!
