Can I just say that the proportional vote Senate we have in Aus is one of the few things holding the country in semi-decent political stead.

I'm surprised that Canada has this rubber-stamped Senate rather than the voted norm, tbh :/

I came across a picture of an anteater randomly, and it was display-pic-able. I'm pretty boring when it comes to avatars since I generally get one randomly and roll with it for a very long time.

However, an anteater is endlessly badass in most cases, so I'm fine to keep it.

Windows 7 is a bit of a disappointment. It's half of what Vista was planned to be, and even over Vista there's not much in the way of "wow, I need this". Past self would call current self crazy, but I'm moving toward using Wine on my macbook. It works for a few games, and the rest I can ei...

My take on politics in general... Vote in a representative from the main party which you currently see as the lesser of two evils - anything else is almost always a donkey vote. As for the senate candidate you vote for, vote something 'crazy' like the Greens. You get mainstream policies from the par...

Get on it.. huff dat

I guess when it came to a sequel... you delivered.

Kickass vid

In a phrase? Bitchin' awesome. Kudos and thanks are in order.

Though, I'm not quite sure where my time has gone since I started watching midway through season 3 :/

And no, I won't sign the Non-Compete, guys.

"So, with another Bush readying to enter the White House..."

I *should* do this, but I don't. If there's one thing I know is unhealthy, it's my net browsing. But when I'm a CS student and I don't find myself doing other things (I'm not musical, I don't know what language to learn, and while it's good to drink, I'm not near that many parties...) it's not going...

It's simple.. we're all getting actual gold medals instead. *waits* .... *tumbleweed*.... While my epeen would be increased by having a 1k medal, I'm not chomping at the bit and demanding it "NAOW!" when there are other things for the LRR crew to do. However, a Runners' Lieutenant medal I'...

Tally just rocked my socks off - highlarious! So I picked my stylus up, and got a replacement pair.

Actually, I might have to get a damn DS. First a load of people I know praising it, now a LRR video. Gah, peer pressure..

.. also, if I took the time to Digg it, the rest of you can!

intense intrigue intense! One of the reasons I never got into video editing was that I had no videos to edit. That, and random codec and export issues were a bitch whenever I did. I guess having you put this hard work in when it's about to hit the fan means we owe you a coffee and/or beer each... o...

I want to be Mathew Wiggins... oh, wait, that's mutually exclusive to growing up

In all reality, and against the grain of this thread, I actually want to be one of Bungie's graphics engineers.

The APPEALS judge was pulled because the XXAA's complained because he was associate a company that made file-sharing tech. They have money, so they got their way. Not exactly. You're right about it being money and getting their way. Rather than being involved in making file-sharing tech or being as...

Not as bad as this case, by any means.

If the proverbial carrot is dangled, there are plenty of people who would take it. I think myself a moralistic person and I'm not in any money troubles, but I have to understand it's rather different for plenty of people.

Knows better than to have one

Rip them to a rather large hard disk and/or acquire movies *cough* legitimately *cough* when on campus. Never underestimate the potential leeching that can occur over DC++ when living in any given college on campus.

I'm not guilty of that myself though. Living on campus, that is

Seems my parents just decided on Christopher because they felt like it. first middle name is my father's Ditto that. What's in a name? I'd say quite a bit. Psychologically, words and names have subtle subconscious associations in the same way as someone with synthesia can taste colour, so you act li...

How much Lavos would a Lavos Lavos if a Lavos could Lavos?

Also, Australia?

As someone in Australia who has been stung in the inner thighs (ok fine, I mean the goolies) by a jellyfish, I wish I had that feature... and a competent government.

I needed some Phail today, so perfect timing. Also, grats on getting to do the that thar series for Escapist.

You'll find plenty on thepiratebay .... ohhhh! You mean *Pirate* tunes!

This song must be included, period.

Well, surely that depends on if you've been injured by a biscuit!

I'd go for laugh though... and in the direction of whoever (please don't say the taxpayers) coughed up money for this crap.

Well played , good sirs. I was just thinking about upcoming games, so I was obviously picking up some vibes over the frequency of awesome .
