All they're suggesting is that that 15% rate instead be 30% if you're on over 180k a year, and 22% if you're on 80-180. It's still an incentive since it's less than what it would get taxed otherwise.
What are you basing that on?

the smart way for the greens to put it would be
1. Have a lower marginal rate on Super (maybe not 15%, maybe 5% or 10% after a certain limit)
2. Remove the caps on super contributions
So instead of getting 25k at 15%, you could get as much as you want at lets say 5% lower than the marginal rate
still incentive, government still gets more money than now, and removes limits that cause huge headaches for ATO and tax payers
but thats too logical and simple isn't it.....

like twitter? if so, fuck yes. would be amazing. im sure you could do it, especially with this new system. it'd just be a matter of a recursive function that grabs each post id. it'd be a bit of a downer on the database though, with any number of queries, unless there's a limit.
i could write some shitty psuedo code if anyones interested ahah. after lunch

Something similar to the dark souls system of only being able to be in one group at a time (or at least, "alignment" compatible groups) with a method of changing over that requires some expense or effort would be a better solution I think.. allows you to do all questlines on a single character while at least acknowledging that it shouldn't be so easy..
Yup.
Yup. Cross-platform with iOS users as well.
Worst thing about Words with Friends is that if you know the opponent well enough, it's painfully obvious when they cheat, which far too many seem to do.
I had severe issues with the WWF dictionary, something about inconsistencies on proper names, acronyms, foreign languages etc. I forget to be exact, had to uninstall it after it started taking over my life. If anybody wants to play scrabble with me they can come to my house and we can do it over tea and biscuits.

I finally noticed. My word was somehow allowed. Unbelts should not be a word, even spell-checker picked it up!
Watched the last 5 minutes as the Patriots decided to put butter on their fingers. Was pretty funny to watch.
I tend to spam things that seem like words until one works. Much better than in real life when people get the shits up about it!Worst thing about Words with Friends is that if you know the opponent well enough, it's painfully obvious when they cheat, which far too many seem to do.
I sent him several drunken emails telling him how much I love him.i petitioned to ckhoeler once to have an auto-save somehow by using javascript and POST variables. he didnt get back to me
It ran pretty average on my old Samsung touchscreen but on the Galaxy S2 it is a dream. Bit of a hassle to link to stuff but aside from that I use it all the time on the couch or in bed.
Me too, I can go back and forth easily thankfully.

Holy shit I am in love with The Global Mail. When I grow up I want to work there. Long form, investigative, interesting and well written journalism? As long as the model its working on (the Wotif founder sinking money into it) doesn't force it to go under quickly, this could be a real winner for Australian media
Off the top of my head I can't think of any examples, but I'm sure games as old as Baldur's Gate had quests you couldn't do because of alignment and previous actions. It's all about making choices, and if that burns a bridge to a group then tough shit. Play it differently next time.

I'm going to PAX East, hope it gets a showing there.
ANDROID GAMING!
Went exploring for any board game knock offs on the android marketplace yesterday and with the help of BGG, found a few ok ones.
Condado - Complete rip of San Juan, which is the card game version of Puerto Rico. Is not too bad so far, although I am NOT a good player of Puerto Rico at all as yet.
Blokish - Complete rip of Blokus incl. the name. Abstract strategy game thing with placing various shaped piece on a board.
Other:
Pirates and Traders - Sort of almost rogue-like spin on Pirates!, pretty cool but hard as hell so far. Barely managed to beat any ships
Dark Nova - This isn't free like the others (although there is a 'lite' version), it looks pretty cool, but yet to play much. Basically space trading type game.
Most likely the above are available on iOS as well for those inclined to 'that' sort of thing.

i think you misunderstand my post. don't have a problem with getting locked out of stuff based on choice, i think that's the most "realistic" solution myself (happily yggdroided my way through Etrian Odyssey III, despite being locked out of the supposedly 'better' Samurai option), but obviously a lot of people don't want to invest the amount of time required to start a new character for each opposing plot-line. Bethesda are quite clearly aiming for accessibility by not locking you out, however that leads to plot inconsistencies. I was contemplating a possible compromise. Another would be faction-friendliness like in STALKER or Eve, so if you got locked out you could grind your way back in.

Tell me about it. And there's no way to put a word on and even have the game flag that it's not in the dictionary. If it popped up in a different colour and the opponent could accept or reject it, that'd fix that... depending on the opponent.
Great way to learn new words! And have no idea what they mean.
Looks like Catan and Carcassonne are on there, but don't appear to be online multiplayer. Not sure about TTR, would be nice if they'd release that on Android.

That was totally my bad, I wasn't trying to disagree with you, just quoting you as the latest post in the discussion.
So yeah, you're probably right. That would be a pretty good compromise. I guess starting Skyrim, or any Elder Scrolls game, a second time is a big undertaking.
This is insane

I have Carcassonne, but the lack of online MP is killer.
Also, looks like there is a version of Dominion! Must try this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mehtank.androminion&feature=related_apps

edit i'm all for immigration (after all my wife is an english one) but seriously, eastwood is insanity
as a non-asian you would feel very uncomfortable being there and you feel out of place, you really do. Possibly because people do look at you as if wtf are you doing here.

It's actually "that's no how you make porridge" and it's from an old Uncle Toby's instant porridge ad iirc.

Would fit in well with KotakuUS programming. A step up actually. I love porridge! Reminds me of staying at my grandparents as a kid. That fruit cake, yabbies and daddy long legged spiders.
