You've got to be kidding me. Republicans have really lost the plot.

OS X is certainly better than Windows, but it's really not as stable and usable as Ubuntu. No package manager for a start. I'm enjoying it, but I do miss Ubuntu.

Eh, on the other hand, Ports statically links files (doesn't track package dependencies in a very good way) while apt dynamically links. Either way I'm not terribly happy with WINE on OS X. Jedi Knight 2 (a Platinum WINE game) couldn't even find OpenGL. Will just avoid WINE my Mac and use the...

Nevermind. Just for reference, I got Fink (apt-get) working in the end, but it was too annoying so I installed Mac Ports (BSD-style package management) and am using that as my package manager instead. Main difference is Mac Ports compiles from source instead of downloading binaries, so longer...

(Give evidence of looking for) work/study or don't get free money. Seems simple enough?

Here's how to make Vista faster: Step 1) Install XP Optional Step 2) Install Ubuntu

Any ideas? I tried Fink but it said it's part of unstable. So I tried enabling unstable but it doesn't show up when I go "fink list wine". I tried a pre-compiled binary image, but that crashed a bunch. Will try compiling from scratch soon (have to install Xcode), but does anybody else have...

<3 xkcd I don't care about swine influenza anymore because my first Mac just arrived.

The World Health Organisation just moved this to Phase 5 (multiple significant outbreaks in multiple countries), which is one level below full pandemic.

No, they just haven't confirmed the other hundreds of deaths yet. It's to be expected since that takes a lot of time and resources.

You want a seat on the train, just cough your guts out next to the seat you want and mention your trip to Mexico on the weekend.

Technically 75 million is still hundreds of thousands. 750 hundred thousand to be exact. Or 75 thousand thousand. Eh.

Our vaccine stockpiles don't work since they're for human and avian influenza, and this is resistant to 50% of our anti-virals. That's a horrible place to start, because when it mutates in the winter (for America/Europe), like all flus do, it will come back not only stronger but probably...

I was doing 10% mortality of 8 billion people. My bad, the world pop is 6.7. Still, half a billion people is not much better my verbose friend.

I thought we already did this and we called it 'Africa'?

No, and 'god' doesn't exist, so I don't see how that would do anything but waste peoples's time. :)

It's not hype you fool. This flu is following exactly the same pattern as the Spanish flu of 1918, which killed more people than WW1 - about 50 million to be exact. Add modern air travel to that and denser populations and game over. For reference, a comparison of this flu and the Spanish...

This user is shit.

Congrats on becoming a mod, mate! They made a good choice. As for the defence build-up: thank god. I was beginning to think Rudd was going to ignore that. While China is certainly a concern, it's not the only regional worry. Australia is a resource and economically rich nation with limited...

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results
