    You found C++ easier to learn than Python? Dude, you are twisted.

    Mac vs Windows

    <3 Macs. The new Mac Mini is pretty gorgeous and reasonably cheap for a student (about $1,000). It's got a GeForce 9400M, 1GB DDR3 ram ($70 more for 2gb), and a dual core 2.0 ghz cpu. The GeForce is slightly underpowered compared to the normal 9400 GT because it uses the CPU's ram (128mb...

    Why don't you try some assembly you silly shit.

    Queensland State Election 09

    "Anna Bligh intends to flex her new political muscle when she gets back to work. She wants to handpick her own Ministry this week and sidestep traditional Labor factions - something that's likely to put a few noses out of joint." Good. Fuck the factions.

    Really? Oh well, let me know when that person turns up.

    Queensland State Election 09

    Nothing went wrong. This always had a high probability of going Labour's way. Recall the margin of error of polls as well as sampling difficulties and electoral prediction complexities. Polls rarely ever break an electorate down into the seperate entities it actually is, for instance...

    Australia to outlaw excessive 'golden handshakes'

    The government should make such a right mandatory if it makes sense to do so and you notably have not provided any reason why it shouldn't. Is your claim that all government intervention is bad? Australia's history of precisely targeted sensible regulation of markets is the reason our banking...

    Queensland State Election 09

    One of the most interesting things to come out of this early election is the polling about significant election issues. The QLD voters aren't concerned about the economy, but rather healthcare and hospitals, by a significant margin (roughly 60% vs 20% of respondents naming it as the most...

    Thanks for sharing your "insight" with us once again, Lentern. :confused:

    Queensland State Election 09

    The Labour government in QLD is fairly well liked and Bligh has relatively high approval ratings (2 to 3 times higher than Springborg's). It's just that Australians hate early elections, and it probably doesn't help that Labour has been in power for 11 years now. But no, QLD Labour is nothing...

    George Galloway banned from Canada

    Good riddance to bad rubbish. He's a downright pathetic cunt. Edit: OK, so on a moral note it's probably wrong to bar him, but he really is such a gigantic terrorist-supporting idiot that I really don't mind.

    Australia to outlaw excessive 'golden handshakes'

    Wishing wealth to be a zero-sum game is such an absurdly sadistic notion that I'm going to assume that post was one of your myriad poor attempts at a joke.

    Australia to outlaw excessive 'golden handshakes'

    Indeed, I don't really smell any 'brain-drain causing government intervention' here at all, as Graney claims. Maybe I'm being naive, but if an executive is getting a bonus so large it requires shareholder approval, and the shareholders deny it, that's probably a good thing for the company.

    The LNP is pretty damn socially conservative so I find it hilarious to see the board Libertarian cohort encouraging their success.

    Australia to get 2 state-of-the-art super-computing clusters

    More accurately, like 25 of the top 30 fastest computers in the world are in the US. If you look at the list of the top 500 fastest supercomputers, it's absolutely amazing how much raw computational power America has compared to the rest of the world. Certainly more than 50% of the clusters are...

    Leaked blacklist proves the Internet censorship scheme a farce

    Xenophon has already officially come out against it, regardless of how many gambling sites they include.

    Australian Politics

    If Rudd calls an early election, the Greens will gain about 3 to 6 Senators (partly, because of their current record high vote share, but also because they are 'owed' two seats due to the 3-year lag in Senate representation as only half are elected each time), Xenophon will pull somebody else up...
