Damn that sucks, Target were clearing them out for $20 a couple of months ago. Hopefully someone grabbed an extra copy they can sell you.
IT is in a land grab state at the moment. "Everyone" is moving to hosted IT (cloud), so the big guys need to make their offerings as cheap as possible to compete with global companies who already have Indian labour. Just as an example, it seems obvious that no small business is ever going to bother installing a local Exchange server again when you could get office 365 or corporate gmail. IT will be as globally centralised as manufacturing. I don't know what to think about that.
Yep, it's all cloud cloud cloud now. I am jumping in, as demand for these skills keep growing, I just did an AWS course this week and am going to do a couple of the AWS certs while slowly slogging towards my CCIE. Can't bank on just Amazon but they are the current biggest player so I figure I will take my chances with them for the moment. For us it's nearly breaking even for hosting our own services/servers in the cloud vs running our own datacentres, mind you I am talking thousands of VM's already running on hardware we own but sooner or later management is going to see those $$$ savings.
Hurray for block element in Adblock.

Sure, I love arguing with people who tell me no one in Australia says Bee-ta or See-ga.
Their minds would be blown by the way some older people pronounce Camry.

Bay-ta
See-ga
The first because the first time I ever heard it spoken out loud was a friend who was into coding on high school. Besides, it's closer to how it would be pronounced in Greek. The second is because that's just how the word reads.

I remember reading in various threads a few years ago that there was something of an anti-AusGAF group of Aussies on here who thought we were all idiots and thus never came in to the threads.
I wouldn't say that no one says it.
Just that those people are wrong =P

I was brought up saying Beeta and Seega. I still say Seega. I've gradually come around to bay-ta.

So the long discussed Dendy (the cinema chain) video on demand service is finally going to launch next month. Doesn't really sound like what I imagined though. I imagined streaming stuff that was on in Dendy cinemas, or at least stuff that had been but still had not appeared on disc or on itunes etc. Doesnt sound like it though. Sounds more and more like the same kind of content you'd find on itunes or google play.

Perfection.
Nope get stuffed Gaz. If Sega want to be stylised as SEGA then I have no issues with people writing it like that! Fuck mandating it though. Just like the whole PLAYSTATION 3 thing, or the Xbox One The All In One Games And Entertainment System, I don't care which way people will say it.
I know some of our on site guys have been setting up 365 for a few companies, I don't think the places are smart enough to manage it themselves, So it gives us work!
Gotta get everyone under an SLA D:

Now, let's all agree on pronunciation of 'castle'...

Person wants me to find the best laptop for them to buy
... from JB HiFi. Not sure what their price range is yet, but taking a look at their site the best "value" seems to be coming from some of the HP ones. I recall people being pretty down on HP laptops back in the day, are they still pieces of shit?
Other option is probably a Dell one that is great except for a 768p screen.

Thanks for posting cods! Good read.
First I'd heard of it!
As you say there likely will be a lot of crossover but this quote from a mumbrella article gives me a little hope it could have a few interesting titles
We have deals in place with most of the major distributors as well as the indies, Stapleton said on the services content, however declined to name exactly which distributors have been secured.

Yep, the beta withdrawal is going to be a bitch.
You're doing it wrong.
Sequel? There isn't going to be sequel, not in the next 5 years at least.
Absolutely, games with fellow gaffers are a blast.
Pve with random players is good, but not pvp.

Forgot to post this, I have 2 more AU bay-tah codes for Destiny if anyone wants them.
Edit: both given away.

Dan Murphy's Whisky Showcase
$25 gets you entry, tasting of over 40 international whiskies, food, this Glencairn Whisky Glass (valued at $9.90), and 'much more' according to their flyer.

I'm going to the footy at MCG on Saturday night, my first live game.
What can I expect? :/

Ausdroid has a brief bit.
Whilst as I noted in my first post this sounds disappointing to me. Another avenue for the same content that is already available is a bit disappointing given the service is coming from a cinema company. Of course even if they did offer some movies whilst still in cinemas, the prices would be higher than I'd be willing to pay given similar talk in the US (substantially higher than actual movie ticket prices). Would I pay say $40 to stream current cinema movies at home? Thats pretty doubtful. Of course that would be a pretty good deal for families.
Also...Windows Phone/Windows RT shunned again. I also wonder when/if we'll see PS4/XBone apps. Apps for local services are spotty at best on consoles.

Consumer grade HP are indeed shit. I'm guessing they want JB because of the 20% off sale for Laptops there right now?

Hah, that's gold.
Pfft. Copycat.

Decades of conditioning via marketing says otherwise. If it's all in caps every time you see it, then that is what you will assume is the intention.
Neither did they. It had rubber chiclet buttons and I wanted one just to play Yamato. I used to play the demo machine in a computer store in Cracknell Rd at Annerley.
Dude, do you even post?
Boom!
I was brought up saying Beeta and Seega. I still say Seega. I've gradually come around to bay-ta.
sorry to lay the smackdown but in greek, it's pronounced 'vitta' (not as in playstation vita, but more gary whitta). The first person to dispute this loses my respect for all time.
Cool stories. I love how its a generational thing. Us incontinent older fucks versus the younger bedwetting cunts who heard those words spoken by americans on podcasts on online videos
next you kids will be pronouncing aluminium the weird american way. or worse Lay-go, driving your muuuzzzda and Neeeeesans
I have worked in development for a long time and I could see how, over time, more and more people were saying Bayta over Beeta, since the higher-ups would be speaking to US-based publishers on phone. But they'd always start as Beeta.
Also for those who think no one said beeta look at Frontline, in the opening credits, you can hear a guy saying Betacam as Beetacam.
