Yeah, I'll happily pay 13 bucks a month for it. Looking through the unblock site, I'll be able to stream directly from my tv so that will be awesome!

Was this a special somewhere or did you do some trade in action? Keen to grab FE but I don't need it now as I still haven't beat OOT or 100% of SM3DL.
Hmm, I don't think I've ever seen the DTS flag on my amp light up when using Netflix.
In other news I'm 99% certain I'm getting made redundant today! Sweeping cuts right across the org, I've spent the last few years automating my role and my boss is in town. Should be no drama as long as I can find something else in a decent timeframe.

I had a $15 off voucher with OzGameShop from a recent promotion.
Netflix offer a free one month trial so you can just do that.
Fuuuuuuck, that's shit to hear, dude. In the very least, I'm sure you're getting a fairly healthy package?
Can I ask what business you work for, or at least in what field the business is in (if it's not too specific)?
Perfect idea. Next step is to decide what to use it on. It's ridiculous just how many platforms I can use it on if I wanted. I know the 360 and WDTV Live support it, not sure of PS3. Hoping that the iPad 3 is up to snuff for decoding without being jumpy as well. Are there any specific regions that are cheaper than others?
You're in an IT related thing right?

Because I apparently care, I updated the script to grey out or highlight bad and good threads, instead of simply hiding them.
It has a bunch of "good" words, and a bunch of "bad" words, and does basic scoring (e.g. raising score if it has good keywords, lowering when it finds bad) and changes the colouring accordingly. It does look a little gaudy, but what are you gonna do.
For anyone who wants to use it, you'll probably have to change the keywords in each list to suit your own needs -- they're at the top of the script so should be obvious to most.
I don't understand paying $7.80 a month for a service which is still illegal to use in Australia. I know it's kind of proving a point and I will likely cancel my cable when Netflix is finally in Australia. But until then, I don't understand why you would do it.
I dunno, think about why you'd likely cancel your cable when Netflix is finally in Australia and you'll have your answer.
I recall one of your last posts calling people 'entitled' and if they want content, they should pay for it. Now you don't understand why people are paying for it. That's something I don't understand.
I think parallel import laws say it isn't. Otherwise playing games bought from Ozgameshop is illegal. Also, modding your console to remove region restrictions is legal here. Ultimately, until it gets tested at court, it's impossible to know what the correct interpretation of the law would be. Given the history though, if push came to shove I'd say it's more likely to be found legal.

is there some tech way to get flight details but more importantly- flight delays- from Qantas? I have an airport pickup at Brisbane tomorrow and I'd like some way of knowing how long I'll be circling the carpark while my wife's plane is circling.
I found an RSS on the brisbane airport site but it merely has the status "scheduled" or "rescheduled"

Yeah but if getting Netflix in Australia is illegal, what's the difference between that and acquiring it through digital avenues that don't cost anything?

It isn't illegal also, what the hell.
Like everyone has said, it's not illegal. The content is not licensed for distribution in Australia by Netflix. I'm astounded you're comparing this to pirating the content. Is importing DVDs from the US illegal too? It's not really that different.
It's not working on mine :/ Haven't gone through all my plugins yet, but I can't see anything obvious that might be interfering. Have disabled some theming plugin, next stop is AutoPager.

I didn't do a heck of a lot of testing. It works for me on Chrome and that was about the extent of my testing. You're on Firefox, right? Perhaps it doesn't support some of the JavaScript functions I was using? They're all pretty common from what I remember. Does Firefox put user script errors in the console? On Chrome you can see if any scripts have failed...
Edit: From a quick glance, it looks like .setAttribute() may not work in Firefox...
Edit 2: Nope. Should now work in Firefox as well as Chrome.
Edit 3: OK I'm going to leave it alone for now. It lists the matched keywords in the thread DIV along with the score in case you want to see what words were matched for tweaking purposes. Definitely working (for me) on Chrome and Firefox.
Well there's the very important distinction that in one case I'm paying for something and as such the content providers are being compensated, and in the other case that's not happening at all.
Welp, I just got made redundant.
They asked if I needed to pack stuff up or copy anything off my PC, I told them it was already done and to show me the money. A quick handshake later and I'm on my way into town for lunch with the missus. If I can get into a new role quick it'll all be gravy.

It's streaming. Works pretty well for me. I've got an 11mbps connection and am using WiFi to my PS3, and I usually get the 720p streams when available.
Like I said, just sign up for the free trial and you can see it all for yourself.
Sounds like redundancy won't work out too bad for you Fuse, so that's good.
Speaking of jobs, looks like I've got an interview. Two issues - the place of work would be a 45km drive from my house, and the work itself, whilst still IT, is in a completely different area to what I thought I would like to go in. Guess I'll go to the interview and see what happens.

Hope you've been working there for a while, then you're in for a nice chunk of change. Someone I know was made redundant recently and walked away with $50k. When I was made redundant from one of my jobs many years ago, I hadn't even been there a year and got about $6,500.
Cheers, will do.

It's beautiful :')
Boo-urns. Hopefully they'll still be happy to give you a referral etc.
Just how many people got the chop? From the way you've spoken, it sounds quite significant.

Tried flightstats.com?
Not sure how 'real time' it is, but this random flight I chose says it's been delayed, so I guess there's some updated info there...
And Fusebox, that sucks. Did you even get any warning or inkling it was a possibility? Having your whole world turned around in one morning doesn't seem like a good way for somewhere to do business, if they care about their staff.
HTC One ordered through work, Of course it's more expensive than other places. Silly me.
Will post bad pics from an iPhone 4 if it arrives.
I might grab a kogan sim as well and use that, Uses the telstra network and looks to be good enough for me.
Time will tell.

12GB model with Skylanders bundle for $150

Ah sorry dude! Hope you can get into a new job sooner rather than later. Nice helpful payout at least! I had never heard of getting paid out.

Thx guys, I had been there for about 3 years so got just a bit over 20k but with a kid and mortgage it isn't the big excuse to party that it would have been a few years back. Still, more time to post on GAF now and that something... I guess.

That's for the SMS updates. You can use the form on that site to check the status of all flights, and all you need is the Internet.
For example, QF525, a flight from Brisbane to Sydney that was due to land at 2PM is currently estimated to land 19 minutes late as they took off 35 minutes late.
