Stop the world, time for me to get off. My planet needs me.

I am with you Rep. I am with you.

 

[Fredescu]

I mean, we used to be able to laugh at the Americans, soon, WE WILL BE THEM!

One in ten Australians believe the world will end in 2012 according the Mayan prophecy. That's two million people. Why go overseas to laugh when there's plenty to laugh at right here.

If only ....

If people were truly serious about believing in that, wouldn't people be selling up their homes and partying like there really was no tomorrow?

 

[Fredescu]

Are you suggesting that the type of people that believe the world will end in 2012 are the type of people to make sensible investments for the future and have assets of value worth selling off sufficient enough to party for six months?

Otherwise sensible people do stupid things all the time, so why not?

 

[Omikron]

Hey. I am buying diablo 3.

I would argue that the crossover between both types of people is small enough that they probably are partying right now and we wouldn't know.

 

[shanshan310]

Thomson has girl germs >_>

lol, glad I'm not the only one who thought that.


My god what a farce. I dread the day when Pyne and those other bozos end up in power of the country. ITS A FREE EXTRA VOTE! TAKE IT, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!?!

 

[Yagharek]

I'm actually kind of alarmed by how frequently I come across these people. Either in newspaper columns, forums by Australian posters, phonecalls, street proselytizers - pretty much all the crackpots quoting revelaitons, using the words "sheeple" or "NWO".

There is a lot of undiagnosed and untreated mental illness out there.

 

[Jintor]

So which is it Tony? Should he stand down for his health? Is his vote tainted enough that you can't have a measure with his help? Is trial by media so bad now that we have trial by parliament instead?

Shots fired.

 

[Fredescu]

Psst he's not actually buying Diablo 3.

 

[Yagharek]

It was the "otherwise sensible" bit that got me.

 

[Fredescu]

[Yagharek]

A-ha!

I've found someone who is going to buy my 360. What do I need to do to clear it all? It's only ever had points cards on it and no credit cards. So I assume I just wipe the HDD with the format tool on the system settings?

Found this on eHow, not sure if the interface has changed since it was uploaded

1. Turn on your XBox 360, remove any discs from the tray (if applicable), and then navigate to "My XBox," "System Settings," and click "Memory."


2. Select your hard drive from the list of storage devices, and then press the "Y" button on your controller to view the Device Options menu.


3. Click "Format," and select "Yes" to reformat your hard drive. If prompted, type in your system's serial number (on a sticker on the back side of the console) and click "Done." Your XBox 360 hard drive will now be wiped.

You should also be able to delete gamertags under the Memory section to remove any personal information from the device.

Harsh imo.

 

[codswallop]

Why do people say 'reformat' in regards to formatting a drive? Shouldn't they just say 'format', regardless of whether it's the first or tenth or hundredth time?

Thanks jambo.

Harsh imo.

[Fredescu]

Sensible is boring anyway. The non sensible people are going to be partying for the next six months.

 

[Choc]

Just take his vote what the fuck.

But then if he leaves parliament on leave both ALP and liberals have to grant a pair

BECUAUSE they have both taken his vote in the past


thats why TA was so worried

Really? Does that happen every time an independent goes on leave?

 

[shanshan310]

The video is even more hilarious. RUN TONY RUN!!!

 

[Omikron]

Really? Does that happen every time an independent goes on leave?

Independents don't get pairs? afaik

 

[Choc]

Really? Does that happen every time an independent goes on leave?

if the independant has sided with one of the parties

yes

if they have sided with both in a vote

both grant a pair

 

[Fredescu]

Independents don't get pairs? afaik

That's what I would have assumed but I don't know for sure.

 

[shanshan310]

Independents don't get pairs? afaik

Huh? Pair of what?

 

[Choc]

The opposition does not want to ever accept Mr Thomson's vote, fearing it could create a precedent in which it may have to grant him a pair in case he takes extended leave from the Parliament, thus negating any numerical advantage it would achieve from his absence.

This is true.

Not even PM yet and the dickhead already is coming up with excuses

TONY Abbott today conceded that elements of carbon pricing will be "difficult to undo" but pledged to scrap both it and the mining tax if made Prime Minister.

Didn't you move in with the mrs? Hows that going.

Fuck you! I'm a foundation member of ausgaf, I have a gold card and I made everyone buy the bag of crap that one time..

DEMOCRACY!!!

 

[midonnay]

ahahaha Anna burke...

ah ahh NO!!! lock the doors ...too late!!!

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

So our opposition leader has gone full teatard in his effort to discredit the Gillard government. It's like the "shit happens" gaffe and subsequent interview emboldened him to new levels of stupid not dared dreamed of even by Pauline Hanson.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

Farcical.

 

[Salazar]

Jesus fucking christ. Too shameful.

Also, I must have been on the cool bus, Shan. No sign of you.
