the issue i have is that the government will tell the uniformed voting public that 'we', (those who protest these moves), are trying to harm the government through these hacking attempts. to mrs and mrs family voter, this makes those who pr

whilst i agree with their protesting of our governments unnecessary proposals on censoring australia, their methods are not helping. a ddos attack on the government only gives the government more ammunition to paint the average protester as

that's interesting that you don't see spam on twitter. i stopped having follower emails sent to me, because so many new followers were spam. the @reply spam is unavoidable, but rare enough that it's just mildly annoying, not a serious issue

i've mostly seen similar, though they tend to block webmail and social networking sites. data leakage through people sending out confidential documents via webmail is a real concern for big business.

Thanks, well spotted. I wonder how this is achieved? Perhaps there is an eBay account username and password that goes with the sale.

I was under the impression that if it re-lists itself then it will always list at the same price - $2500.

Aussie band Gerling had a song called 'dust me selecta' - i wonder if one served as inspiration for the other?

I believe it's just the text formatting gone awry. They are: ask hn (ask hacker news) and ask yc (ask Y Combinator). ask yc was obviously more popular in the early days.

I think that's your browser adding the www in. Try it in Internet Explorer or try pinging nasa.gov

Although a smaller scale, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology has the same problem. bom.gov.au doesn't resolve to anything. For what it's worth, Firefox will change nasa.gov to www.nasa.gov.au but won't do the same for bom.gov.au. Internet

This reminds of me how Three Mobile in Australia drops back to Telstra when roaming. This is by default and the user is none the wiser (unless they had the knowledge to turn off roaming). I think every person I know who has a Three phone us

It's not the video and audio aspects of flash he is concerned about, it's the automatic loading and playing of content with flash that is annoying. Audio and video that doesn't load until you ask for it is perfectly acceptable.

Whilst this is amazing to watch, I have to admit I didn't even know that Octopuses could walk around on their tentacles like they do in the video.

Installing it merely puts a shortcut to the website containing the game on your iPhone home screen. If you change your user agent to iPhone and go to http://mrgan.com/pieguy/ on your browser I assume you could play it on your desktop.

I pre-ordered one and i'm in Australia. I figured $5 was worth the risk to see if they will ship it to me. edit: and had i opened my eyes i would have seen the free shipping worldwide!

Could search technology improve this process? I'm assuming that's where he is going. From his twitter bio: Currently co-founding an ecommerce search company.

www.warrantyelephant.com is a site designed to solve your warranty problem. Won't help with the others though.

"he paid $300 for a manual on how to make money on Twitter and gave it to me" I'm assuming that's how to make money on twitter. Sell books on how to make money on twitter for $300!

Two of my favourites as well. AIR are the perfect 'background music' and i don't get distracted by their lyrics. The Donnie Darko soundtrack is moody and atmospheric. Also, anything by Sigur Rós. Not because they are a great band, but becau

Love your product and know EVERY single facet of it. There is no better selling technique than knowledge and enthusiasm. Personally, I've never been able to reliably see a product I don't have a passion for. Maybe this makes me a bad salesm

the biggest reason i believe email is not going anywhere is because it is entrenched in corporate life. enterprise moves slowly and to move from email to another system would take longer than it took them to embrace email in the first place

Absolutely, I was under the impression that they had for the first time. Also, were they really making enough money in 2005 for it to be described as 'gazillions'?

Oh yeah, and they are already making gazillions of dollars and are profitable. Didn't Facebook only achieve profitability a month or so ago? Or have I missed something?

Are they all physical machines? Or VM's? Surely you could virtualise all of these on 1-3 physical hosts?

Heh, I ran a Red Alert fan page back in the day too! :) It was a Geocities page and had one of those massive long URL's and may have even used an animated gif or too also!
