I think he will. Don't see why he would quit politics if he loses, since he can just wait for Gillard's eventual defeat to Tony Abbott then challenge her again or whoever takes over from her to become leader of the party again.

For anyone who isn't aware, Goodreads is a great site to review/rate and keep track of books you are reading, books you want to read, books that others have read, and also gives you recommendations based on books you have rated.
You can also follow authors or other people, such as Jeff Green, to see what they are currently reading and enjoying.

We're playing Serious Sam 3 tonight. If you haven't already bought it, fuck you for not paying attention. I will probably put a live stream up.
Starting at 7:30-ish. Dunno who's hosting it. Will probably tone down enemy health and how overpowered we all are. Might start a few levels in because it's not like you're missing any plot, and the first 2-3 levels are rubbish.
If enough people care, we can do this again next week once everyone's had the chance to buy it and download it. Let me know if anyone wants this. Also, join AusGAF Chat. Why aren't you in AusGAF chat? On workdays my bot lets you be in AusGAF Chat even when you're in AusGAF IRC. Stop being a terrible person.

Sounds good, will check it out
Busy buying other stuff. Get off my back.

Have been meaning to check out this site for ages, it seems - thanks for the prod, Rahk. Joined.
I said "cheap". Pretty sure the lowest-spec Mac is priced at about the same as a fully-fledged SQL server.
Whats decode 1080 mean >.<? Just watching them?
Well the amount of enthusiasm for SS3 seems pretty low, so I might consider delaying it until Thursday or something. Pick a night where people have nothing better to do, and give a chance for more people to take advantage of the sale.
Hardware decode 1080p, meaning it's able to palm off video decoding to the video card rather than the CPU, which 99% of the time is woefully underpowered for such tasks in notebooks under ~$500 or so.

Maybe that is the tracking information for the supply to the company you ordered from. Not sure how USPS works though or why they would give you the tracking number for their internal stock replenishment.

What's your budget and what are you going to use it for? Might be better off getting a Boxee for home and a tablet for train media consumption.

Looking through my Amazon page to refresh my memory of things I've read recently (to plonk into my Goodreads profile). Quite a trip down memory lane.
Just like with music, it's uncanny how times/places/memories of books stick with you; I read this book while excitedly en route to there, that one while waiting impatiently in this airport terminal, that one glumly beside Mum's hospital bed etc.
I should devote more time to reading. How does everyone find the time, with all this gaming and GAFing and whatnot? While on public transport, just before bed, lunch break, absolutely anytime you can?

https://www.mln.com.au/ you can get good laptops for 699ish that can decode you momma!
I gave Barry Hall's autobiography a 2!
Don't judge me for reading it.
Anyway I bought that Mistborn book. Hope it's good!

I agree, the mps are safer in sticking to the status quo, at least until Monday.
Also happy birthday dude.
So, so top tier.
Wardrobe reconstruction continues.

Inspired by http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7mPqycQ0tQ . Not really.
Maybe I could line up a tablet... I really only used my notebook on the couch for browsing and looking at YT vids, sometimes movies as well, so there's no real point in me getting something like a Boxee. I already have a WDTV for that
Cheers! But now I have the idea of a tablet implanted, I might be on the hunt for something in that range that can do that sorta stuff. I don't think my 4S was far off playing 1080p mkvs so maybe the iPad2 or even 3 could be contenders. HMMMMM.
Will have a peruse of that site though. And keep in mind I haven't called their support line yet, so I may very well be able to swing a replacement mobo/lappy, especially considering the freezing bios update thing is a frequent enough issue.
I'm going to the Melbourne one! Also doing the New Order and Aphex Twin sideshows.

Likewise. I often ditch a book a few chapters in if it hasn't grabbed me, though, so I guess all the 1-2 rated books don't make it far enough to warrant a rating in the first place.
Needs half-star ratings, though, I reckon.

Not after looking at the pages for books....
Lot of fuckwits on that site who whinge about the format of the book, no understanding of the writer they are going into, so they give it one star and say it is for retards.
Thankfully we can avoid them with AusGR!

Tablets are perfect for passive media consumption. Net books etc have their place, but for browsing and the like, they're brilliant. Almost never use my netbook since getting my TouchPad.Maybe I could line up a tablet...

Why not move your PC into your lounge room? Cut out the need for a laptop. I use my Galaxy S2 for youtube/gaf/browsing away from the PC. Hell, I streamed the entire Double Fine Kickstarter video today over the Optus 3G here in the country and it ran fine for the whole 30 minutes.
Also I wish I could go to Aphex Twin
Enter Shikari are in the country too and I won't be able to get to Melbourne for their show

Times like these I wonder why I don't own a torch. Or candles.
Lots of sirens heading away from the hospital. Car crash must have taken out a power pole

More likely Australia.
Didn't pick Sal for a red pants person
Not everything I wear can be beige or blue.
Red pants are pretty outrageous though. Most of the things you posted so far have been a more hip/conservative look. Are you sure you can pull it off??

Seems a pretty popular card, bound to be someone in here interested. Otherwise put an ad up on gumtree and knock $50 off what you paid.
New Archer was awesome. "Don't judge me. FOOD."

Just watched Hugo. Movie is not the movie depicted in trailers. Instead, it's a love letter to early film making and, I suppose, film making in general.
