Computers do all the trading themselves nowadays.

Sister?

Pics and video footage is required.

Also i'm surprised the show is still on, Isn't it getting like 5 people a week watching it?

Maybe they're just using up the current episodes since they already paid for it. I dunno, I would have replaced Joy of Sets with more Two and a Half Men reruns if I were running channel 9.

I wish. My manager is a great guy, but he went home early. The branch manager is visiting from Sydney, he's actually here for the Melbourne cup.


Come to think of it, technically yes since I am part stock manager and part assistant regional manager.

The trading room I visited was kinda loud, but it was more civilised than the animated traders you see on news reports and stuff. A lot of the shouting is more about relaying information than actual trading though.

while we are on tv news

channel ten profit down 90.5%

14.2 million profit down from 150 million

Guess that Renovators show really destroyed them

Still a sensationalist :p

most of it was from the restructure and redundancies.

Also, if Mar still reads this, Come back to WoW!

Did anyone order BF3 from JB online? I placed my order in the 25th and it's still listed as in progress. Has anyone got their order from them yet?

This will be the second week in a row that having a pre-order for a game results in me getting the game later than my brother who just walks in and picks up the game when the street date is broken.

The release of Dungeon Siege III DLC has me excited to play it again (and finish it this time).

I asked earlier today but has anyone played it on PC since it was patched? Are the keyboard and mouse controls still borked?

I really should find the OT and ask there but I've been staying away from Gaming lately, that place be crazy.

Ugh ended up buying BF3 even though I was going to wait til multi settled down. At least it was only $70 for the limited edition. I know I know, cheaper online and all that, but I don't have the download limit to download and I didn't want to wait for Ozgame. Yes I'm trying to validate my purchase.

Justifiable at the moment, I've just waited 33 days for F1 2011. Delivery times are crazy.

i am not going to defend IGN far from it but perhaps they should have told journalists that if you play on easy you dont get the full game


when i know that is the case with a game, i tell them to ensure they play on normal at least.
Click to expand...

When you review games you shouldn't be reviewing them on easy in the first place, what's the point in that?

Several games are much better experiences on easy.

See: Red Faction Guerilla and Just Cause 2.

Anyway, that thread about Germany on the OT made me wonder - has markot been unbanned yet?

Original UK-format Masterchef... :(
Click to expand...

Despite this being the right answer channel 10 will never do it.

because they dont live in a house for months on end and dont have it 5 nights a week.


in other words, the people dont leave their lives behind just to go on it.

coldplay caught stealing music again

smh :( i love teh band, but seriously

edit: song in question is princess of china

Heh, saw that this morning. Stealing just makes the song even worse:p

I'm not that fussed about similarities in music though. People need to get inspiration from somewhere.

.....

If anything, that would make it cheaper for Ten.

They won't do it because they can't pass it off as a much more big brother package, than cooking show. Creating Pseudo Tension by having the exact same returning chefs every ep, and creating personal "drama" stories between characters.

If anything, AU's master chef resembles the USA's Top Chef format a lot closer than it does the UK Master Chef.

UK Master Chef is the best one of the lot :(

I always agreed with you on this one. AU's Master chef is more about drama than cooking. And that's what 10 always wanted.

But Apple did Patent playing a Guitar by swiping your hand. Does he do THAT? i hope not!

The AU MasterChef format could be applied to anything and it would still be the same show. MasterSnowboarder. MasterFlorist. MasterCouncilRoadCrew. Same show.

Not the upcoming Biggest Loser, they're "sexing it up" by making it singles only.

Link?

Also, he's been beaten up on enough at this point. Not that he wasn't a horrible mod and a terrible, hypocritical and disingenuous debater, but as far as he goes now, he's taken his lumps.
