I wonder if I would have to use a proxy server for 4chan next year lol.

that's guaranteed.. most definately

fat people do cause global warming jcot. its on the net so it must be true.

I can't believe Australia is joining the ranks of China, North Korea and Saudi Arabia. $125.8 million in public funds earmarked to boost cyber-safety? Perhaps the Australian Christian Lobby should just shoulder the fucking cost!

lolwut, next level trolling! sadly though the only reason why krudd is copping all the flak online is because fucking conroy is too goddamn computer illiterate to even have a page to troll. fuck.

Fuck they actually went ahead with it?!? i stopped following cos i figured that nazi scheme would never pass. this shit is fucking stupid. Australia's internet is already so behind, and the games classification system as well, with Michael Atkinson still choosing to ban certain games entirely rather than simply impose an R18 rating.

What a fucking joke seriously, how the hell am I supposed to find my doggy porn to fulfill my secret bestiality fetish? I guess I'll have no choice but to go out and rape as many pets as I can just so I can fuel this need that could be easily satiated with a few clicks in the privacy of my own home where no one else in the world would be bothered.

So damn gay.

edit:

just want to add how serious this is. even sites like youtube and wikipedia are meant to have have several entries blocked. p2p will no doubt be banned in time as well, if not immediately when it starts.

that 100-odd million could be given to us to spend on jawnz or something, and would make a lot more people happier. or give it to like, charities and shit i dunno, making 100 million worth of muffins and giving them out for free would be a better investment.

bunch of muppets imo..

Yeah the video games thing is BS but at least the government is considering it.

[Daaave]

With current number projections it won't get through the senate, but it's still very worrying and it shouldn't have gotten nearly this far.

[jcotteri]

what games are R rated? Or should be?

[Deiv]

Most games that get refused classification end up being censored here like the GTA series and recently that Left 4 Dead 2.

[jcotteri]

Google talking some sense about Mandatory ISP filtering

[wept]

what games are R rated? Or should be?

Jcot, there are many games that havent made it to Australia in there unedited forms. This doesnt make them R rated but it does mean that they have either been watered down or refused classificated due to the lack of the R18+ rating. IN other words they were to graphics/adult to fit within a MA15+ catagory. here are a few:

Postal 2 (outright refused, unavailable at retail)

Left 4 dead 2 (has since been majorly watered down)

Manhunt 2 (was watered down)

Alien Vs. Predator game (currently being reviewed)

NecroVision (refused)

a lot of the above games can still be imported in there unedited forms, left 4 dead included (get the UK version)

figured i'd ask on here; anyone got any ideas for wallets? my porter one i bought in japan a couple of years ago is on its last legs. want bi-fold and preferably leather, budget $160 AUS or less (low i know).

[Deiv]

If you're after something cheapish with decent quality you can try Bisonte. I have the Ted, doesn't hold coins but it is the slimmest wallet ever

[jcotteri]

If you are interested I have a brand new Il Bisonte tri-fold wallet with elastic-band in a natural colour.. Smells fantastic.

Purchased in Japan for 25,200円.

pics here.. Sorry to shit up the thread.. lulz

lulz I had the exact same wallet for a couple of years, recently purchased the pascal model as I needed room for more cards. quality is meh but they're the slimmest wallets I've found locally.

Google talking some sense about Mandatory ISP filtering

Insightful words. This is way bigger than policing child porn, and opposition to the filter is not about advocating it. Enforcing an imaginary status quo on our social values is completely unacceptable, it demeans us as individuals and derides our collective potential for progress.

[choice_genes]

i would second IL bisonte wallets (the italian brand, not the aus one). i've had one of their wallets going on 7 years now (since my 18th birthday) - it's still going strong and the leather just gets better.

they are stocked in melbourne at Hunt leather on collins st. possibly a little over your $160 budget, but definitely worth considering IMO. check em out.

EDIT here is the link to my wallet on hunt leather's website: http://www.huntleather.com.au/product.php?pid=139&c=wallets&sc=12&f=1&b=23#a

[jcotteri]

Yeh I agree JV...

I also agree with you CG...

[lovelysteve]

dismal is making wallets right now too for $100-120aud, i'm getting one in grey suede

ive always loved the MA+ wallet but its too pricey. I mean, am i the only one that finds it weird to spend alot of money on something that you put money into?
