You are correct. What I meant is that they have only a short amount of time around 3 years which is generally not enough to pull off large infrastructure projects as most governments only last 2 terms and the opposition claims credit if it

It was part of the deal Julia Gillard made to form a minority government. The NBN had to prioritise regional areas first.

There is no upgrade path from the node with the way they are rolling it out. Doubt me? Ask NBN yourself and see if you get a reply. They are rolling it out as cheaply as possible with no thought about upgrade. They are not running additiona

Politics is the answer with regards to communications. I suspect that may also be the case for other technology in Australia. The only reason Australia needed a NBN was because of the sale of Telstra as a vertically integrated monopoly. It

There is a technology choice program to upgrade to FTTP which was promised to cost less than $5000. A quote costs a non refundable $600 and the estimates I have seen have all been in the tens of thousands of dollars. About 20 people have ta

Unless you are on FTTN which will comprise more than 60% of the network and are only guaranteed up-to 12 mbit for the coexistence period and 25 mbit after. Unless you happen to be connected to a node less than 50m away (most will be over 40

That's exactly what I tried opening it with. I suspect the issue may have been down to the fact that it was all on a single line. That said I didn't want to distribute a 20MB file with the application anyway, so the reduction to 3

I keep hearing this as being an issue but when I suggest slinging some money at the guy creating it I never get a response. Apparently its a big enough issue to grumble about but not big enough to front some cash to resolve. I agree though.

Have been using Spark a lot recently. Very impressed. Gets out of the way and makes Java considerably less painful then it used to be.

What I loved about STALKER is that it felt like a living world. I remember watching a group of fellow stalkers being beset by bandits. During the whole firefight I was just watching it from a safe position. The fight ended and the stalkers

Hah I knew there was a better way to solve it! I was sort of sick of the problem by this point and didn't feel like picking it up again :) Glad to see someone else found it and implemented as well and proved that it produces a much fas

Not at all. I am still unlucky enough to be on ADSL2+ with 1Mbps upload. Possibly will be looking at 40Mbit in the future but that depends on how lucky I get in Australia with the NBN, so not expecting much.

The biggest thing I have found about lambda is that if you plan to deploy with cloudformation backed by s3 you either need to do some hacks to ever update your function, manage versions in s3 or change the filename in s3 and cloudformation
