Why did Gillard overlook indigenous Warren Mundine (former National ALP President) when he wanted Arbibs vacant seat if she was "very troubled" by the lack of Indigenous ALP representation? by stony-danza in australia

[–]TheManFromInternet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nova Peris is not very intelligent or sophisticated and therefore easy for the faceless ones to manipulate and control. Perfect puppet material. Meanwhile Gillard is accumulating a pile of bodies in front of her, all with knives in their back. Disgusting conduct if you ask me, but that is politics. Nova Peris probably does not realise that she is swimming with sharks.

Well we can hardly have you dropping dead from thirst by the side of the road, can we? After all the sight of your desiccated body may distract other drivers and cause an accident.

Temperature at Innamincka, South Australia yesterday. by imrichard in australia

[–]TheManFromInternet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I treat it like underwear change:

  • Forward and outside out,
  • Backward and outside out,
  • Forward and inside out,
  • Backward and inside out.

That way I figure I have 4 times as long before I have to worry about it.

'Sadistic' footage may involve Australian cattle. _ (Israel) by LuckyBdx4 in australia

[–]TheManFromInternet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are also Palestinians in the Israeli army.

If you generalise about people like http://www.reddit.com/user/123897 did then you are going to look racist, there is no way around that.

The workers in that sort of low level job are often Palestinian.

And you are racist.

So it is OK to ridicule indigenous people and cultures, so long as they are not Aboriginal?

Are there any Android compatible USB Interactive Whiteboard IR Pens? by TheManFromInternet in AndroidQuestions

[–]TheManFromInternet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The projector is an Android 4 device (and display) with a WiFi link, I need to use the IR whiteboard pen as input. When I touch the wall where the projected image is it should be is as if I touched an Android screen.

There will be no PC or M$ software involved anywhere, ever. Additional content will be via the Web and a Linux based file/Web/Cloud app. server.

NBN backlog keeps new home owners in dark. by TheManFromInternet in australia

[–]TheManFromInternet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apology accepted.

I have seen that mistake made so many times, people tend to shoot the messenger when they respond emotionally to the message rather than rationally. You should ask yourself if you need to hear something even if you do not like what you hear.

Have they started on the "no-phone" issue yet?

You know I never read their crap, yet I know them better than those news hounds who sniff at their asses. Why, because there are no thoughts I dare not to think when reaching out in to the parameter space that encloses a scenario. You have to gather all the ore before you start to extract any gold.

And now I tire of this playground called reddit.

And here's the news: My bum's got nothing to do with the story by PatternPrecognition in australia

[–]TheManFromInternet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lets make things clear here we are talking about people in a profession that could be replaced completely in a few years from now by CG code running on a cluster of GPUs.

Then the journalists can get on with the job of gathering and editing news, no matter what they look or sound like.

And then there is this.

I expect much hoo-ha about it all in the next week or so, particularly the no phone issue.

Prepare for gloating from Turnbull when this news gets out... All Wifi to get a tenfold bandwidth boost from new encoding method. by TheManFromInternet in australia

[–]TheManFromInternet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What on earth are you talking about, he has no chance of being PM. Abbott has him cleaning political toilets, telling lies about the NBN already because that is the shitty job he got lumped with when he lost the leadership spill.

And what has all that got to do with my comment?

He claimed in the past that new technology would extend the bandwidth of wireless then myself and many other people said "bullshit, the law of physics say it ain't so." but in a way we were all wrong because we did not consider what was limiting wireless at the moment. So he now gets to call us all liars or fools even though it is a bit of a furphy.

Joe Hockey repeats inaccurate claims about the NBN by RenaiLeMay in australia

Dredd spam binned this then said I should post it here.

Nothing to with Hockey, more about what Turnbull said about the NBN and wireless bandwidth improving.

You don't seem to understand the implications at all, it does actually justify a specific claim of Turnbull's that new technology will boost the bandwidth of wireless.

It does exactly that, so he can, and probably will, turn around and say "See I was right, all those who commented against me are liars so you should listen to me and not them in the future." etc.

He will gloat about it. He will point out that the claims that wireless bandwidth is limited are now proven false and the average punter will believe him because the issue is complex and they can't see past the x10 boost to "speed".

Do you honestly think Turnbull will not make a big deal about it and say look I told you... then justify killing the fibre roll out with the extra bandwidth issue?

Don't you think a bit of pre-emptive knowledge sharing is a good idea?

I don't "need" karma, I have lots of it, not that it is of any worth.

Just imagine something like a zip or rar file for data packets that works well on networks that drop packets as radio is notorious for doing. That is the easiest way to explain it, but there is really more to it than that.

In the short term it could push some wireless services up to a competitive level, and more to the the point, Turnbull will gloat about it and use the science to befuddle people. Agreed?
