    Getting back to the name thingy, how about "the world accounting troubles" or TWAT. I think it has a fine ring to it.

    To be alternated with Discrepancy In Counting Kopecks, for the sake of gender equality.

    just cos you're campaigning on a policy of circumnavigating the law doesn't mean you won't get voted in.

    I like "circumnavigating the law". I'll be the Magellan of the Copyright Act!

    My comment was more aimed at your suggestion that we should watch what we say not to spoil future careers in officialdom, though.

    Extended versions = the worst form of extra content.

    If you're willing to pay a premium, we'll give you all the stuff that wasn't good enough to make the film in the first place.

    hopefully russell doesn't have any political ambitions. As hip and street as bittorrenting copyright material is it's not the sort of thing you'd want to be seen to be pushing if you were involved in anything arts in a professional capacity.

    This particular comment of yours has just made my day 10% sadder.

  • Up Front: And a Pony. A Sparkly One.,

    Where you wrote "Australia made me a political party" I equivocated and it took me another five paragraphs to realise you're not running for office across the ditch. Which is a pity - for them.

    We probably would have them only for eggs actually, given I'm a wuss.

    Don't worry, Andrew, I can take care of that for you.

  • Hard News: Speaking Freely,

    Does anybody else find it interesting that here we're discussing spending hundreds of dollars to chase digital high definition videorecorders (and getting a bit snotty if they don't interface seamlessly with our computers) while in another thread we've all but reverted to chooks and bartering?

    Was he a freemason do you think?

    There isn't a single person on earth that I would consider less likely to have been a freemason. Therefore he probably was.

    "In my day we ate the chickens alive! Times were hard".

    A guy in my grandma's village used to refer to me (a city boy) as "magna gajine morte", literally "eater of dead chickens", which led my young mind to assume he ate them alive.

    Hey, it's the Great Depression Part Deux, times are hard.

    I feel a Stephen Colbert question coming: "The consequences of the current financial crisis: Great Depression or The Greatest Depression?"
