It pisses me off that qantas is going to do this moving workers off-shore thing, and I'm even more angry that it seems to actually be going smoothly. Let me tell you something about the airline jobs: they are structured by joining date. Those captains at Qantas? If they get fired they have to start as second officers at another company. Is their rage justified now?

Well, Chinese and English grammar is (as far as I know) Subject-Verb-Object ie. Jenny eats peas. Korean and Japanese are Subject-Object-Verb, meaning they say "Jenny peas eats" to get the same meaning. I'm not having much trouble with the grammar so much as memorising words - a lot of them sound really similar :'( The writing is easy to learn though!
No geelong supporter here but sad to see him retire. A real classy player too. No ego, no bullshit. What a career though, hey.
As for videogames, I made the "mistake" last year of going nuts on god tier games. Finished Orange Box, RE4, Batman and Galaxy 2 back to back. Now I demand perfection in digital form.
I wonder what I should play through next.

I put a dinosaur into the logo of the AusGAF Battlefield 3 logo. I felt this was an important design change.

Granting positions based on seniority is a pretty dumb idea. Is that standard across the industry? Would that include people like flight attendants, technicians and engineers?shanshan310 said:

it would be common with crew being pilots and FA's
engineers etc i doubt. Crew has seniority levels though and this is why. Crew leave is based on seniority. If you are a Captain 1st year and want leave and the 5th year captain wants leave, the 5th year captain gets it
Same with FA's. It's all based on seniority which is @ all airlines.
It ironically is to encourage loyalty to the airline that first hires you. It's why you generally don't see pilots jumping ship between airlines (and why this whole wage dispute is dumb and the fact Joyce has NO IDEA that people won't fly Qantas without QF pilots or at least how many of them (and i know a lot of them, myself included) ). I live next to a 747/A380 QF pilot and he would to start again at another airline he reckons.
he has lost the plot. I won't fly Qantas if my pilot is not QF trained. The shit you hear about overseas pilots and things that have happened.
And this is just one example. Pilot found in aircraft after landing found not to have a fucking Commercial licence, i mean what |:
What I find amazing is CASA is sitting on the sidelines letting this happen. They shoudl be demanding AU airlines have AU trained air pilots else you fuckers aren't flying in AU airspace.
Joyce is a fuckwit
record profits, increasing demand on international routes yet wants to get rid of the people that fly the planes
put him in the simulator with no navigation aids, 2 engines out, a massive hole in the engine and a full A380 load over Sumatra and see if he can fly his broken bird back to singapore and land it safely. Oh yeah, engines won't turn off and reverse thrust is broken (this is what happened to QF 32)

I'm not sure if it applies to anyone but pilots, but it is a really horrible idea. Yet it still gets enforced because of all the people in the unions who waited a long time to get to the top and will be damned if they let some new guy in the company take his promotion! Its the reason people so many ex-ansett staff left the industry altogether. Or you can stick around like my dad did and work under people 20/30 years your junior with much less flight knowledge/ experience.

It's a bit like negative gearing. I don't know what sort of housing crisis or what-have-you could have led to its implementation, ending it is going to hurt a lot of people. Thing is, letting the situation continue as is will lead to a completely different lot of negative effects.
That sucks.
That sucks.

true. It seems that there are a lot of problems with society that could be fixed if only the higher ups weren't so stubborn and monetarily involved.

Full credit though, sucks that he's going out at 100% rather than playing a few more years at 70-80% (at a guess). Could be a good mentor. Hopefully he still sticks around at GFC in some capacity.Shaneus said:Lucky you said "one of".

Got some other rangas to put forward?
He could make a good coach at some point.
Also, posted this in the Wii U thread. This is what excites me about new systems:
Personally I hope Wii U gets a version of Soul Calibur where we can finally answer the age old question.
Which is mightier: the pen or the sword?
And
Tower defence games will be great on it too. You could even have a versus mode. Wiimote controls for defenders, tablet controls for invader to plot their route and divide troops.
DS was meant to be perfect for rts games that never eventuated. Wii U could do for RTS controls what pointer did for PES and fps controls.
On that note and more generally, where would AUSGaf like to see control scheme evolution go in coming years? There is no shortage of new input devices these days, but very few seem to be exploited successfully or with any new and worthwhile additions to gaming, genres or play styles.
I hope that's more interesting than kookas and politics.

KMart and Big W are the 2 main ones I have come across breaking street date. They got my sales so it worked!Choc said:
I will always remember him for trawling for international students on residence at Deakin Uni. The Californian chick he ended up dating for 6 months wasn't much chop. Great footy player though. I'm sure the dozen or so houses and handful of businesses he runs in Geelong will keep him busy. Him and Chapman are the soul of the club, certainly the best 2 players at the club over the last 7 years in my opinion.Rezbit said:
Really? He has a face for radio and has been a horrible public speaker on the few opportunities I have had to see him in that form.Kerrby said:

Almost every problem could be resolved if people put their personal interests aside for the greater good but it will never happen. Even if we are teetering on the brink of destruction someone out there will be more than glad to wipe the rest of the race out if it means they can have a nice quiet beach to sit and read a book on.shanshan310 said:

I'm in shock, but hopefully it leads to bigger things for him down the road, he was always my favourite player back when he was playing for the Eagles, its good to see a few of the old West Coast early 90's players doing well in the coaching business.VOOK said:
Well we are getting Fire Emblem and they are made by the same team, also Fire Emblem > Advance Warsmarkot said:
