Yea i saw the active thread and had a look :lol

What a complete douche, and why would anyone take a picture of that and then share it as well. Shows how stupid some people can be.


I've said it before, but footballers, from any code, are collectively the dumbest group of people in existence.
 
Guys do I have to pay an installation fee from switching from ADSL1 to Naked ADSL2+?

I dunno, the dickheads around my side of Melbourne are pretty stupid.

I can't imagine why you would have to. The only additional money you may have to spend to do that is to upgrade your modem if it isn't ADSL2/2+ compatible.

I ended up getting the "Producers House Seats" which are apparently the best in the house.

We'll be 5 rows from the front just off the centre. Pretty excited to be honest, I'll probably enjoy it just as much if not more than my parents :D Did you enjoy it?
Please tell me it was worth the money
:lol
Nice, sounds like you got some AWESOME seats there! :)

Yes I enjoyed it, and I don't think I'd be exaggerating in saying that in hindsight I reckon even $500 per ticket would be "worth it".

It's definitely a must-see.

In fact I was even toying with the idea of spending a weekend in Sydney and going to see the show again.

Hopefully you enjoy it too!

lol Millions of Aussies already agree, so I'm not the only one :)

What a fuckstick.

Anyway, looks like I'll be getting RB3 for a decent price today... Zone Adrenalan are selling it online for $79 and they knock off $5 if you pay cash instore. Just checking that it's a PAL/UK copy to ensure exporting of tracks work (can't be too sure with a US version, despite region-freeness) but yeah, should be golden for this weekend :D

FWIW, they're another cheap place to check out if you don't mind buying imported games... little markup over places like The Hut/Zavv/OzGameshop etc. (in general) and they have a shopfront (if you're in Melbourne). They're also selling the new NFS for PC @ $54 when it comes out too.

You couldn't see anything in the uncensored pic, but I must admit, I didn't look thoroughly. The uncensored was posted on bigfooty, but it's been taken down now.

I've been meaning to give PriceUSA a try. I've heard good things about them.
Wait, so you refer them to an item on another website, they buy it and send it over? That's a neat concept.

And they charge you 5% more than the actual price? Looking at the past 100 orders, this person must be racking in the cash...

Ran the calculations, that's a profit of $1435.35. Not bad at all.

Still don't know of any good US import sites?
Was just talking this over with a friend. We actually looked around and compared the price of Playstation Move. Amazon US, Play-Asia and JB Hi-Fi. They're all pretty close - in fact JB is probably cheaper once you factor in shipping. A lot of JB's other prices are still higher, but it's interesting that the Move, which is relatively new and in-demand* has been priced competitively with the US.

Anyone have a Kindle here? Impressions, especially if you use the 3g stuff plzzzzzzzzzzz.

I bought one of the latest gen kindles recently, been using it for about a month. Absolutely love it, it has quickly become just one of those things I have with me at all times (like my ipod, phone etc).

Can't comment much on the 3g though, as although I have a 3g kindle I tend to download all my books using my wifi when I'm at home. The times I have used the 3g have been fine though, it uses the vodafone network so if you have coverage where you live I guess its all good.

If you love reading I would highly recommend a kindle, probably one of my fave tech purchases of the last few years.

F1 this week is going to be awesome

'Red Bull have denied all season that they favour Vettel, but, when asked if his team was behind his younger teammate, Webber told The Guardian: "F---ing obvious, isn't it? Of course.'


Meanwhile, Alonso's teammate Felipe Massa has been threatened with a jail term of up to six years if he attempts to "defraud" Brazil's sporting public by making way for his teammate during the race.

also Alonso is a nut

"But there are some people who will never understand. The crowd have opposing views but I insist our work is not to understand the opinion of the crowd but to do the best on the track."

who the fuck pays the tickets to go you moron

how can you be doing the best on the track if you move aside for your team mate!

You get the full sports game with the US one, we just get a demo disc (both AU and UK).

I have the previous Kindle 2, which came with 3G enabled. I have my 3G turned off as you have to pay for delivery of a book if you use it (I only switch it on occasionally for the clock to sync and it goes back off again). Because of this, I just download the books to my PC and transfer over USB. If I had one of the newer Wi-Fi models, that would make it even more convenient.

I generally don't travel anywhere without my Kindle. It's as BanShunsaku said, definitely one of the best and most useful purchases I have made in a while.

Should have done it in a group. Presentations are so easy. Especially if you're doing it in a class full of international students who don't have great English. All you have to do is be able to speak in coherent sentences and you'll look relatively amazing.

Add to the fact that nobody is actually listening except for the tutor.
 
What a fucking week. So glad to be home and done with work for a couple of days.

You're an Adelaide boy right? At UniSA by any chance? I did the presentation for that class this week, it was pretty piss easy. We did it as a video, did like a 2 minute (if that) voiceover each, and left the film students in the group to slap it together and make it presentable. We did the whole thing in like 3 hours total, and didn't have to do a thing on the day apart from push play on the DVD. Easy.


Oh an furthermore, whatatwist.gif if we happen to be in the same class.

Yep, Monday. I think most of the tuts for that subject were on Monday though. I was on 1-3 (I think... might have been 12-2, but pretty sure it was 1-3) with that Josh bloke as a tutor.

We could be like, best friends :lol

Yeah. I thought he would be a bit of a twat when I first started (just because he was an Indigenous Culture tutor and he kept yapping on about politics and this and that) so I skipped so many of his classes. Then when I actually went in again I realised he wasn't all that bad. Not as good as the Sullay guy I had for Media Literacies who spent the whole first lesson telling us that he wasn't offended by black stereotypes because he did like eating chicken and getting booty, but still, a good tutor.

Ah this is all still so crazy. AusGAF, bringing classmates together. Kinda.

You doing the MBMA if you don't mind me asking! or something else?

edit: according to rez i'm not allowed to ask :(

Nah, not MBMA. I'm in some bullshit Communication (Media and Culture) course (MBMC), though I was doing the IT and Multimedia course, which is pretty much just MBMA with some extra IT crap, before that. I have mates that were doing the IT and Multimedia course with me that switched to MBMA though, though I would think this would be their last year in it, so chances are you wouldn't know them.
Unless, apparently, they also post on GAF :lol

Hold the fuck up. When you say you were going into it 2006, do you mean you started in 2006, or you enrolled in 2006 and therefore started in 2007. Because if its the latter, then so did I. And considering there seemed to be a grand total of maybe 15 people starting MBIC in 07, I probably know you, and you probably know me.

This is absolutely nuts. :lol

EDIT: Post 5000 in AusGAF 2.0 may be the threads greatest twist yet.
