No I did not, but thanks for the clarification.. which I quite like (though I don't really understand the double negative). I think along pretty similar lines, and the ball analogy is quite apt. It took a lot of propaganda to get the b

I never mentioned murdoch. I think FTTN benefits all established media. I was also was having a go at smh reporting, so whatever.. But since you ask, I would say the reason why people think there was a conspiracy is the rabid anti-NBN propa

The big issue will be in the sort of contracts they sign with Telstra to rent and maintain the copper infrastructure - which by the figures I have seen published so far may make it more expensive than the FTTH (though no one really knows

That is just such a lazy answer, and to a question i did not even ask. I would point you back to my original comment (which you either did not read, or did not understand) but for fear that it may create a recursive loop from which there ma

A bunch of exceptional films in that list.. you have good taste. So, you acknowledge that there is a default , and that the films you mention challenge that default . I think everyone can agree on this. Why are films like 'the thin r

Just to out-pedant you, the size of the sun is still quite finite, most (all?) things are. Perhaps colloquially, finite here is (not un-like literally ) a metaphor, in this case for not-unfathomably-large, or more precisely, measurable.

The essential attraction of the idea of a card is that the visual representation of the card marries to the backend representation which marries to the social (shareability) representation. Every so often someone comes out with a 'new&

Amazing, it had the exact polar opposite effect for my eyes. I often have trouble keeping my place in black and white text. I find it like trying to focus on a single conversation in a pub but I end up hearing everyone at once. If you don&#

I cannot understand why it would slow you down, why do you think it might? Anyway, my experience from this is that it was much easier to differentiate, parse, and scan with the ugly colours (43% faster apparently). However, my natural slown

The issue particular to buildings is, as opposed to manufactured goods etc, buildings tend to stick around for quite a while and cost a lot of money for the build and a lot of money to operate. More than that, large capital outlays are requ
