Eh, I wasn't really counting sports journos. They are in another league.
I don't hate Roebuck. I agree with a lot of what he says, but he has a flair for the melodramatic and uses fluffy prose too much. His reaction after the Sydney test against India in 2008 was laughable, though.
Riley thinks he's top stuff, but at the end of the day he's just another lightweight channel 7 personality who I cannot stand. The absolute worst channel in existence.

Just finished Breaking Bad season 3.
TV is so good right now.

the disgraceful co-advertising channel 7 has been doing with my kitchen rules is pathetic
also it is unfair to directly compare amazon to australia. For one you dont pay tax importing which is fine and of course you can and will buy from US etc but its not like if the currency fluctuates to 60c US due to a massive tanking of our sharemarket or something nintendo cant just raise the price
this needs to be factored in sometimes. I believe 349 for a premium product isn't so bad.
for joe every day who isnt hardcore and wont import 349 is a much better price than a lot of people expected.
its a $150 premium on the DS which came out 6 years ago. Given inflation and other factors such as technology that isn't so bad.
but like i said, turning half the system off for australia only is fucked.

have they justified their decision to leave street-pass 'off' at launch? I don't understand. Some backwards law or fear of public reaction?
convinced! Thanksevlcookie said:
not very
I'm going on a 7 day trip, wednesday to wednesday, in a month's time, I feel like I should wait until I'm back to start applying.
we have it sort of working so we gave up lol, wasted 2 days on the stupid thing. Boss will do a clean install on the weekend and hopefully everything will go back to normal. It mostly stays connected via wifi now, and finder/inDesign only crash every hour or so.
pos.Roebuck writes nonsense 90% of the time. He just comes up with his own personal whimsy, or steals one of the ideas the commentators threw out there during a game and then got ridiculed.legend166 said:

it makes zero fucking sense.
It is entirely possible its to do with classification and them not wanting to deal with that factor until the COB can sort it out but i doubt it. Nintendogs launched here with bark mode which you know is the same.
However, in Australia we have significantly tougher privacy laws than most of the world. The fact the DS's can talk to each other and play games with each other WITHOUT even asking you could be a problem here and nintendo is taking the paranoid option.
They need to add an option to turn street pass off i imagine for Australian privacy laws and guess what, it doesn't have it yet i imagine.
Privacy laws here are insane compared to the rest of the world and that is somewhat a good thing, but in the case of street pass, its a bad thing.
Serrels, might be worth raising this with Nintendo and then possibly also talking to the privacy commission and see if they would see technology such as street pass a breach of privacy.
i might be on to something in my ramblings!

Techtool or diskwarrior should be able to fix the issues. There should be a demo copy of each around or i'm sure someone you know with a mac is bound to have a disc.
Ignore choc! While it probably is poor form, if you're not doing anything at work then you may as well use your time on something worth it, looking for new work!
everyone who drives to the city and whinges the iron cove bridge did fuck all for their car travel time
IT WASN'T BUILT FOR YOU
it was built for the buses which are apparently 20 mins faster now. So suck it up and catch a bus for fuck sake
i have no idea why people drive to the city to work, its insanity in my opinion. Unless they have kids and need to drop them off, then thats a bit more acceptable
but young people just driving because well i want to its stupid.

Sort of the other way around, if htey only use it on weekends, they can justify the fuel economy if they do actually get use out of it as an SUV.Mar said:
But, yeah, i don't know why you'd WANT to drive to work. I know some people in each office has to (have to be able to go buy replacement PC stuff if it imploedes) but bah, so much extra cost.
I got work to pay for my bus fare instead of car parking. Much better off this way.
I've relaunched my Dream Team website yesterday, Dream-Stats.com
Took me ages to complete (missed launch by a month) but it's finally at a stage where I can launch it. Here's the features page detailing the things I've added.
The 'main attraction', my live (and delayed) match viewer!
Live Demo of it in action starting at the fourth quarter from the drawn GF
Programmed using Python and designed nearly everything from scratch for the relaunch. I've also increased the efficiency by insane amounts so hopefully it can hold out under some heavy traffic...
I've posted it on a small forum I go to and the reception has been positive so far. Exciting times GAF

fuck me thats amazing
thats the kind of stuff that generally only the stats men at the ground have
if that is truly live data, you might have people knocking on your door about that one
you have to be careful though, very careful. If you ever sent that commercial i believe you need the AFL's permission to take feeds or data from them if that is what you are doing.

Only major worry is the traffic, since I can't afford a better host atm but I'll upgrade anyway if I need to.
I don't intend to commercialize the site, but I was planning on creating an iPhone app with the live scores and graphs and selling it for a buck or two. So to do that, I need the AFL's permission?

if you are using their live data feeds um yep as by selling an iphone app you are making a commercial product
you also need to register for an ABN and GST (apples rules)
I would probably try and push this as hard as i could as a free app and try and get foxsports etc attention
they might want to talk to you if it gets big about buying it for fantasy afl etc. I don't believe their fantasy leagues offer live updates.

I'd never drive into the city with traffic.
Cityrail needs to add built in wi-fi into every train. If I could browse and work on the train, that would be awesome.
Apparently the ferry from Parramatta to Circular Quay has it. Thinking about getting the ferry into work just for that feature.
in case we still have some US lurkers, sorry for painting you all with the same brush but this shit is bad.
america is a fucking disgrace. This is nothing short of abhorrent.

These situations with use of data are coming up more and more often, I'd be interested to see what you find out as far as the law is concerned but they're probably able to claim copyright over the data feed and restrict/license it for commercial use. The question is what it would take for your website/app to fall under that commercial use.

i believe as soon as he tries to make money agyar, that line is crossed. If the AFL wanted to be total bastards they could argue the advertising on the site is designed to generate revenue.
the AFL would have rules around the use of their data and would let people licence it, for a fee
shady
i dont believe we are trying to scare you here, but you do have to be careful dude thats all just be careful before you try to make cash
what you have there however, is a resume. That site is your resume all in one.
Yes you have the paper bit but then you go oh by the way i built this all by myself in my own time and stuff.
Employers would be quite impressed i should think.
also the reaction to that story in US proves that the US government no longer represents its people.
i am glad americans think its fucked.

It's just that I saw this on the AFL website...Choc said:
... and assumed it didn't explicitly prohibit commercial apps.
A free app won't bother me too much, but I was hoping to use money made from it towards upgrading my host. Ah well. Thanks for the info!
I wonder how Fanfooty is selling their app?
From AFL Dream Team? The prices are from there which reminds me, I need to add a disclaimer somewhere once the stats section is up...Gazunta said:Shady,
Are you using the data from the official AFL Fantasy Football site?
Inquiring minds would like to know
Done!evlcookie said:

Could Shady perhaps make a free app and put iAds in it? Would that be some sort of weird grey area?
