Amazon... WTF?!?!

Not so much complaining, as I am laughing at how badly off-target this offer has landed.

What should be done to curb binge drinking?

Quote from OverG;342065: [rant] Increasing the price of alcohol won't curb binge drinking, nor raising the legal drinking age. The government just won't accept that social and economic pressure has a big hand in alcohol abuse. But it'll raise tax revenue. They get to raise money while pretending to help society, wha…

Amazon... WTF?!?!

Ok, I ordered the following books from Amazon.com Quote: "Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code (The Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series)" Martin Fowler; Hardcover; $47.99 "Test Driven Development: By Example (The Addison-Wesley Signature Series)" Kent Beck; Paperback; $37.00 "Godel, Escher, Bach: A…

Coincidence??

I'd take off all my clothes... but nobody wants that.

Dragons Motivational Poster Thread!

Yes, they are. At the party they're talking about actual sex did not occur (much mischief, but didn't put it in). Now, can someone post a pic so we can get back to our regularly scheduled random crap?

Dragons Motivational Poster Thread!

Quote from The Happy Devil;339985: so u got some old skool peek a view action going on... till it went horrilbe wrong lol gold Nah, smeg-head decided to crawl around in my ceiling and make weird noises just to try and put me off (he was drunk, and apparently that seemed like a good idea at the time). Didn't really n…

What the fudge!

The Judgment itself should be public record, what reasons were given for such a light sentence?

Dragons Motivational Poster Thread!

This one is a bit of an inside joke (and perhaps a teensy bit belated, but anyhow). However, given that most of the denizens of this forum had managed to hear the story within 24 hours I'm sure at least a few of you will get it.

Sorry to the "stolen" Generation

That's what I'm afraid of - the "I can havs lootcakes" aspect to all this. Here's to hoping that after that tribunal is done "we've already compensated you" proves to be an effective enough political barrier.

Sorry to the "stolen" Generation

Ideally, the money will be spent and the matter will finally be settled - people will be compensated and we can all worry about more important matters. Which is certainly worth the cost, provided it succeeds in resolving this. I'm just hoping we don't see this issue re-incarnated later under the banner "that wasn't …

Sorry to the "stolen" Generation

It's always unfortunate when it is more profitable to be a victim than than to be productive. Not only can they blame "The Man" for keeping them down, they can plunder his pocket too. If it has to be done, give them a one-time payout and then lower them to equal footing entitlement-wise with the rest of Australia's …

Instant Coffee Discussion

Quote from beanstalk;328197: or how people think adding milk to instant death coffee before the water will stop one burning the granules... It does make a considerable difference in the resulting flavour (significant enough that it can't be psychosomatic). Where I'm stuck with Instant, Moccona is always good, most f…
