People should whinge because ethanol fuel is COMPLETELY ridiculous.
Also Labor banned regular unleaded in the first place (with support from the Libs). This is like the least partisan issue ever. They both suck.

I don't want to use ethanol I want to use petrol.
I would also like Heidi Klum but I don't like my chances, even though I can hold a half decent conversation in German. Bit too busy here to go chasing after her though. Maybe next year.

I don't like using ethanol fuel and I don't know if that makes me a bad person or not
It doesn't make you a bad person. The environmental benefits of ethanol are way overblown.

Bailey has never played a 20/20 for Australia right? Seems like a strange choice to give a guy the captaincy in his first match at that level.
Edit: Also
CricInfo said:
Horrible timing to switch things up. Also had no idea Bailey was almost 30.
Only captained Tasmanian shield and one day competition winners.
Nothing much really.
Choc discovered grammar.
But picking, say Warner, who hasn't captained any first class side of any type, isn't?

Warner is slightly less madness since he has actually stepped foot onto a 20/20 field for Australia. Although I have no idea no his leadership in the past aside from the fact that the selectors see him as a future captain of Australia.
In any case there was no reason to dump White for him considering they have both had lean 20/20 games over the summer.
AUS T20 Squad: Bailey (c), Warner (vc), Birt, Christian, Doherty, Faulkner, Finch, Hogg, D Hussey, Lee, M Marsh, S Marsh, McKay, Wade
Poor legend, 4 Tasmanians (5 if you count Birt), only 2 NSW (3 if you count Christian) players.
So sad.
PS> Victrorian sports radio is going to be gold today with the exclusion of White. :lol

Warner was the captain of the Thunder. Granted, he only played one game because he then had to go play tests. He scored a century.
I don't even know if I would have picked Warner. Give it to Dave or Mike Hussey. I just think it's dumb they've effectively picked a specialist captain. Bailey is in bad form.

Anyone here that uses Visual Studio? And ever thought they needed 'achievements'?

I don't think the reported controversial methods of obtaining shark fins are that widespread. It's a sizeable industry, so you'd think there would be some form of regulation or whatever. Hopefully.Fredescu said:
But it is kinda sad how no one really talks about it. It's always just about the prestige of eating shark fin.
I do admit it's kinda tasty, though.

ahah yeah my friend linked that the other day on facebook. they're pretty damn spot on.
edit: anyone got gaming podcasts i can listen to online? my ipod is nearly dead and i want to save it for the train ride home.
edit2: choc im pretty sure theyre joking around. like its a real plugin and everything, but it's just a joke

It doesn't, and a lot of them seem pretty easy to do (and it would be easy to game anyway by loading other's applications). Why exactly is it ridiculous? Because it's fun?
What if Outlook and Word got them?
and they throw away the part that actually taste good >_<
I meant in terms of the dishes that incorporate shark fin. The fins do have that nice elastic-y type texture to it though, which I prefer over the kinda gooyness of birds nest.
Yeah, some of the fake soups you can get from street vendors are pretty good! lol
Why is it fucking ridiculous? It's an optional download. Plus it's fun.
I dunno, I find it pretty silly. Windows 8 will have a tonne of achievements next.

I think its largely pretty amusing. Certainly had a laugh about it at work
Oh hang on, it's choc.
there are far better things they could have spent the development time on
for example MS has a program called Microsoft Small Basic which is designed to teach coding. In that program it makes sense
in a professional program for a professional environment, it really does not.
What's next, Microsoft Word having achievements (wrote your report! 10 Points)!
actually, probably :|

seriously, taking a joke too seriously. they probably wrote it purely for fun and if something more important came up, then they would work on that.
not everything needs to be fucking work.
It is a complete joke. But choc doesn't see the funny.

I'm sure there are better things they could have spent their development time on.
i'm looking at it from how a senior manager or board level person of a development house may view it. It doesn't paint Microsoft in the most professional manner if they are adding frivilous stuff to their main development software.
I agree that work doesnt always have to be work, but from a CEO level it looks dumb
wow @ tsonga match
6-2 2-6 1-6 4-1 so far
From a marketing point of view, either you get ragers like you, or they get developers chuckling about MS sense of humour.
Win for MS.

I mean seriously, why did Sony develop Home? What a waste of money, they should have been spending their money on fixing their substandard security!
im not arguing on that one at all
why did they do home ? That is so a strawman argument though. One is an entertainment device, the other is professional grade software designed for businesses to build software and make money.
jambo ive used amazon mp3 before so yes. I bought a track there that wasnt on AU itunes
LOL, surely you jest?
I don't think anyone disagrees with this.
Wait, they finally opened it up for Australia?
Nope, never used the service before. I kinda figured it wouldn't because of copyright issues, but wanted to check.
Was looking at grabbing some NIN albums. I got The Downward Spiral on my lunchbreak for $9.99 at JB and just downloaded The Slip for free and Ghosts I-IV for $5.
The other MP3 links on the nin website all link to Amazon MP3.

For all you know, someone coded 99% of it during their spare time and spent a few days in the office getting it ready for release.
I don't see reaching out to the users of their software, promoting the community aspect of it is really as big a waste of money as you are suggesting.
The sky is blue! Grass is green! Water is wet! I'm on a roll!
Most excellent. What other albums were you thinking of? Also, Choc seems to think it works now, so maybe it does, last time I looked was about a year ago.
