No, you really should preorder it. You want it. You deserve it.
AusGAF needs a guinea pig.

Wasn't someone else mega keen too? Jambo? Shaneus?
So this dog followed me home from work. The whole way. It takes about an hour.
Guess I have to keep it in the yard and call the pound in the morning
No idea either. Looks like a cross-breed though...
FIRST EVER GAME.
(lost most of them early on... :s)
Restarted, haven't lost one yet.

Curious, not keen. I think I'm sticking with my original plan of Lumia 920 + mini iPad (to retain all the stuff I've bought to use on my iPhone).

Hopefully it has an outside area, nice weather tomorrow!
I'm keen, but going to wait for the Pro early next year.
Going by the photos on their main page, it appears the venue may have been chosen... poorly.
But on the plus side, if the name is any indication we can wear our pyjamas there. Which I'm totally down with.
PS. Reptile, it looks better when it's written as "jerbs". Say it out loud. It's more fun

Gamers are adverse to natural sunlight, everyone knows that
I wish I could give away my copy of Limbo and get back the time I spent playing it.

Reverse?
We were going to get an RT, but after seeing the price reveal (which I personally don't think is bad but more than it's worth to us) and the delay in getting them we have decided to wait till Jan/Feb and get a couple of the Pro models. Will install Win8 as my main OS in the next week or so and also we are planning on getting the Lumia 920's and give the Windows experience a go again.

Fine.
Outside? Adverse weather conditions out there on the afternoon commute! Make sure those cellar dwelling types rug up lest their skin be sizzled into oblivion!

I think that's mostly going to come down to storage speed more than anything, although different hypervisors claim to run certain things better than others, so maybe there are some application specific things. I've been involved with dozens of virtual environments at this point and I've never seen a situation where performance issues were the fault of the (properly configured) hypervisor. They're mostly small/medium environments though to be fair.
The more I think about it, the more I want a Surface Pro. I reckon I would pay up to $1200 for one, depending on specs.
Wait, is Crikey trolling? http://www.crikey.com.au/2012/10/18/alan-jones-new-porkies-test-fact-checker-for-shock-jock/

Firstly a disclaimer, I am a network engineer so leave most of the VM environment up to the server team but commonly get involved when it comes to the networking side in our VDC (2 large data centres connected via a 40Gb link), so if I say anything about the virtual environment that sounds off, that may be to my ignorance in some areas.
That certainly could contribute to it. We are currently in the process of upgrading a lot of the infrastructure and have moved most of the 3020's over to Flex10's (all dual homed back to Nexus 5Ks so a 20Gb link essentially) and are currently looking at utilising fibre channel through the whole path from virtual to Nexus 5/7Ks to SAN and are seeing improvements every step of the way. In terms of size I guess we are medium to large, we have about 120 ESXi hosts and using about 1500 VMs. We are currently looking at rolling out (well still testing) VDI's where the subscription ratio may hit 200 clients.
I can see the pro being from handy for work and home and very versatile. I would expect the base level to be 1000-1200 here with the 128GB model possibly costing 1400.

Yeah, if I can reasonably treat it as a laptop that I can occasionally unplug the keyboard from, rather than a tablet that I can plug a keyboard into, I'm sold.
8 people be enough? I'd have thought it'd be better to get a 10+ table and then we're set. And if not, I'm sure some of you smell enough for me to not want to sit right next to you.
Cheers, bookmarked, will have a good read of it when I get a chance. I think the pro will suit that usage just fine. I like the idea of being able to type up something in office, take it out in the field and plug in a serial to usb adapter, sit in a meeting and scribble notes with the pen. I am due for a laptop but don't like laptops as they are usually too big and bulky (excepting recent ultrabooks) so the pro at under 1KG seems perfect to me.
edit: new Idle Thumbs
This is true. I can't sit down and drink.I barely sat at all last time anyways. I am just pro it being outside
Oh guys, I'm not usually one for pimping things, but I just found out these guys are Australian so they deserve it in here. True Axis' latest title (after the surprisingly impressive Jet Car Stunts) is out now on the iOS App. Store. I bought it just now, and it's basically fingerboarding but in a sandbox environment (so no real goals or scoring as such, although there are different tricks to learn/master etc) and it's a hell of a lot of fun. Looks really good on my 4S, seems to run at 30fps (I think) but still controls really well. I can imagine there'll be a few videos/replays filmed using it and uploaded on YT (although I don't think there's that particular feature, but I'm sure someone'll find a way to do that).
It's $2. It feels like fingerboarding. It's pretty fucking cool.

So it's pretty much on me. Still not preordering. I'll wait to see how it goes. Apparently preorders of coverless Surface have sold out already.
Started my second game this morning. Instead of relying on one crack team of super soldiers I'm spreading out the experience so losing one dude doesn't set me waaaaay back.
SydGAF, Mr. Syd Gaf is having triplets in November and they need your help. In other words, we have three impending interstate visitors, jambo, Holycheck and shanshan, over a period of three weeks and we need to organise ourselves to show them a good time while they're here.
I've put up a Google Docs survey so we can figure out numbers for the three visitors we are getting in November. Please fill in which times you can attend so we can finalise dates with the most numbers.
And if anybody wants me to add or change options in the survey, let me know.

I find it funny that a broadcaster can get in trouble for telling lies but no one cares when politicians do it every single day.
And as much as I dislike Alan Jones, the idea that a radio station can be forced to 'present a range of viewpoints' is a bit weird.
But Labor's been all about this whole media censorship thing so I guess it's not surprising.

I recommend not watching the first US election debate lest you die of laughter. Dat Romney.
Trailer for True Skate.
Hope this makes it big for the guys! Deserves to. Can see it being a bit of a cult hit.

Pretty sad walking around Allans in Pitt St.
Slim pickings for the vultures (like me) but when the fittings have prices on them, it's pretty sobering.
