» ZMeet - Sydney
The rumours are untrue. We didn't forget to have a Sydney ZMeet in October. We were merely waiting for more awesome weather than Melbourne.
Jump in now and put your name down for some Japanese food followed by drinking on Saturday Nov 7th (thats less than a week away) and possibly some lawn bowls on Sunday.
As you may know we are being sued by a couple of people who claim defamation over a posting on this site. Even though we have complied with their lawyers demands they are still trying to claim $42 million dollars in damages.
Our legal costs are constantly mounting and we'd appreciate any support you can offer. Professional or financial!

Our first Tool of the Week is awarded to Faleh Hassan Almalek for making others stuffer for his own stupidity.
Mr Almalek moved from Iraq to America in the 1990s. Unfortunately the land of the free was a little too free and western for his taste (It looks like someone didn't do their research too well). This obviously became a big problem when his 20 year old daughter decided to make a go of it and intergrate herself into her new homeland.
Deciding that she was now too "Western" for his family and his own views, this fuckbag ran her over and after two weeks of suffering she finally died from her injuries.
Nice work you fucking tool. Maybe you should have moved to Afghanistan, not the country that is built on everything you hate. What a fucking tool.

Movember
Yes I'm doing movember for 2009. Started yesterday, and I've NEVER had a moustache for longer than 4 days before this. For those that don't know, Movmeber raises money for mens health issues, like Prostate Cancer, and Depression in Men.
With all the worlds attention on Womens bits getting cancer lately, its time our parts got a look into. But we're more than willing to look at Womens bits still. I'll gladly accept that as a donation.
But for those that don't want to donate flesh, money is fine. Head to this link if you'd like to sponsor me.

Not much to say here, except that this is a pic of Carrie Fisher and her stunt double sunning themselves on Jabba's sail barge during a break in shooting during RotJ.
Andrew J. Burwitz, 20, of Appleton, Wis., allegedly tried to do a drive-by shooting at the home of his ex-girlfriend's family and another random house. Police found him because he failed to roll down his car window and shattered it when he made the first shot.
He was charged Wednesday with four counts of first-degree reckless endangerment, four counts of endangering safety by reckless use of a firearm, disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property.
The particles the LHC uses are protons or lead ions — together known as hadrons — and when fully accelerated they will be moving so fast that they will circle the 27-km-long track 11,245 times a second, at a speed 99.9999991 per cent the speed of light. That is so fast that if a light beam and a CERN beam were sent simultaneously to the star Alpha Centauri, 4.3 light years away, the CERN beam would arrive just two seconds after the light beam. Keeping the particles shooting around the racetracks without banging into the sides or shooting off into space is a fantastically delicate operation; getting them to collide on command is even more so.
“The amount of precision required is pretty breathtaking,” Gillies tells me. “I worked it out mathematically, out of curiosity, and I can tell you that getting two protons to collide is exactly equivalent to firing two knitting needles from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean and having them strike in the middle.”
IT was not the triumphant return Britney Spears had hoped for.
Disgruntled fans stormed out of last night’s Australian debut of The Circus concert in Perth, upset by the star’s miming and “appalling” performance on stage.
They began walking out after just three songs, some having paid $1500 to see Spears perform.
“It was just really bad,’’ Kathy Wright,32, said.
“She has not spoken, there is no interaction.”
Friend Josh Blee said: “We are really big Britney fans but it was cr-p.”
“I thought after the music awards she would make up for it with a wicked concert, but she has let us down," he said.
AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Sad fucks. Why the fuck would you go to a Britney concert in the first place?
These are the pictures that show a theme park not to be sniffed at - it's the former home of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar.
From his eight-square-mile estate in the middle of the South American jungle, the mastermind ran a narcotics empire making him once the 10th richest man on the planet.
By 1989 Escobar sold 80 per cent of the world's cocaine, bombed governments and is believed to have killed nearly 4,000 people.
From 9 November 2009, VicRoads (in Victoria, duh!), is introducing some changes to Victoria's road safety rules. Among them is this:
Quote:
Changes to the new mobile phone rules
The new mobile phone rules have been revised. The change now allows both the navigational (GPS) and audio/music functions of a mobile phone to be used, provided the mobile phone is secured in a commercially designed holder fixed to the vehicle.
Mobile phones
Using a mobile phone while driving is prohibited, except to make or receive a phone call or to use its audio/music functions provided the phone:
is secured in a commercially designed holder fixed to the vehicle, or
can be operated by the driver without touching any part of the phone.
Using a phone as a GPS while driving is prohibited unless it is secured in a commercially designed holder fixed to the vehicle.
All other functions (including video calls, texting and emailing) are prohibited.
Learner and P1 drivers, are prohibited from using a mobile phone at all while driving.
Holding the phone (whether or not engaged in a phone call) is also prohibited. Holding includes resting the mobile on the driver’s lap.
Visual display units
A driver must not drive a vehicle that has a television receiver or a visual display unit operating if any part of the screen is visible to the driver or is likely to distract another driver.
A driver can use a driver’s aid such as a navigation device but it must be an integrated part of the vehicle design, or secured in a commercially designed holder, which is fixed to the vehicle.
A man who was captured by the Taliban spent 24 days being starved and beaten in Afghanistan persuaded his tormentors to release him by cooking them curry.
Somen Debnath was travelling through the war-torn country as part of a five-year bicycle ride through 33 countries to promote Aids awareness. But he was taken by armed militants – who assumed he was a spy – as he travelled through the remote region of Herat.
He spent three weeks blindfolded strapped to a chair in a pitch black 10ft by 10ft dungeon living in daily fear that he would be killed. Unable to understand his captors' commands, Indian-born Mr Debnath, 28, was regularly beaten for disobeying orders, starved and repeatedly told he was going to die.
But after realising that one of his captors had a very basic grasp of English, he convinced him to allow him to cook them all a meal. The Taliban kidnappers were so impressed with his banquet they decided he was ''safe'' and let him go.
Mr Debnath said: ''I cooked hot, spicy Indian food for them the way we have it in the Sunderbans in India. 'They were very happy and told my interpreter that I seemed to be a safe guy."
A Sydney woman who gave her two children rat poison before smothering them to death has been jailed for at least four years.
In sentencing the 31-year-old woman, NSW Supreme Court Justice Clifford Hoeben on Friday accepted she had shown remorse for the two killings.
She pleaded not guilty to murder on the grounds of mental illness, but was found guilty of the manslaughter of her four-year-old son and two-year-old daughter.
Four years! What the fuck. You just have to claim you are mental to get away with anything these days.
An official Taliban publication warns Australia that it will have to assimilate into a dominant Asia or face the prospect of being overpowered and forced to take population overspill from Asia.
The choice is spelled out in the latest issue of the online Taliban monthly magazine, Al Sumud (Steadfastness), whose lead article offers a sweeping view of a post-war order in which a Taliban-ruled Afghanistan becomes a moral pivot for a pan-Asian renaissance that will coincide with the decline of Western power.
"It can either return to its motherland in Europe or reconcile with its Asian surroundings and assimilate into it as a wealthy and active member."
Yeah, I get the Asia's are vastly outnumbering us and starting to need more and more, but I'm not sure if this would ever happen without something huge happening here, like possibly a war or invasion. I dunno. I'm worried, but what can I do since I'm not a pollie

At least 12 people have been killed and more than 30 injured in a shooting rampage at the Fort Hood US military base in Texas.
The Army said one of the gunmen had been killed and two other men apprehended in connection with the shooting.
Lieutenant General Bob Cone: "A shooter opened fire. That person was killed. At this time, we are looking at 12 dead and 31 wounded. They are dispersed among the local hospitals in this area in Texas.
"The shooter was killed. He was a soldier. We since then have apprehended two additional soldiers who are suspects, and I would go into the point that there were eyewitness accounts that there may have been more than one shooter."
The massacre happened at a training centre on the sprawling grounds of the largest US military base in the world.
Eyewitnesses said the gunmen were dressed in military uniforms.
Google users today found themselves greeted by the image of Sesame Street's Cookie Monster when they accessed the search engine. Turns out the Internet giant was marking the 27th anniversary of the blue cookie eater's ode to Google, accompanied by Old MacDoogle, on the bugle, in a tribute to words that rhyme with "oogle", long before Google, or the web, for that matter.
A 13-year-old cat has been infected with swine flu, veterinary and federal officials said Wednesday in what is believed to be the first case of the H1N1 virus in a feline in the United States.
The domestic shorthaired cat was treated last week at Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine in Ames and has recovered, officials said. The virus also has been confirmed in two ferrets -one in Oregon and the other in Nebraska -but they died.
"We've known certainly it's possible this could happen," said Centers for Disease Control and Prevention spokesman Tom Skinner. "This may be the first instance where we have documentation that transmission occurred involving cats or dogs."
The veterinarian who treated the cat, Dr. Brett Sponseller, said two of the three people in the cat's Iowa home had flu-like symptoms before the cat became ill. The case was confirmed at both Iowa State and the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Other influenza strains have been known to cross species, but Sponseller cautioned against drawing too many conclusions from the cat including whether other pets could also get the swine flu.
"It's well documented in influenza in general, but this is the first highly suspected case of H1N1 going from humans into a cat," he said.
I'm gonna let the dogs out less...It's mad in here, there's a class that only have 5 students left in a local high school, the rest of the class either got fever or not going to school.
Lose/Lose is a video-game with real life consequences. Each alien in the game is created based on a random file on the players computer. If the player kills the alien, the file it is based on is deleted. If the players ship is destroyed, the application itself is deleted.
Although touching aliens will cause the player to lose the game, and killing aliens awards points, the aliens will never actually fire at the player. This calls into question the player's mission, which is never explicitly stated, only hinted at through classic game mechanics. Is the player supposed to be an aggressor? Or merely an observer, traversing through a dangerous land?
Why do we assume that because we are given a weapon an awarded for using it, that doing so is right?
KILLING ALIENS IN LOSE/LOSE WILL DELETE FILES ON YOUR HARDDRIVE PERMANANTLY

When we beamed our lists of favorite science fiction movies onto the pages of Wired.com, we knew some of our readers would think we were goofier than Jar Jar Binks.
Little did we know that Wired.com readers would fire back with such vehemence, vitriol and — most importantly — sincere love for sci-fi flicks that didn’t make our lists.
Well, in cyberspace everyone can hear you scream: We’ve compiled a massive list — make that massive lists, broken down by decade — of your favorite sci-fi films, as well as your reasons for including them on the list.
Wired's 'Best Sci-Fi Movies of all Time' as suggested by viewers, has just finished. In 4 parts, links at bottom of each part. Some crackers in here, I'm going to start downloading again! Plus a few I'd never heard of. Oh, and a few WTF moments as well.
