Please take the time to write a letter to Senator Conroy to tell him he is an idiot.
Filtering out the fury: how government tried to gag web censor critics: “”
Template letter here.
Oh yeah, remember not to vote for him next time.

Update: Any censorship is the first step down a very slippery slope…. where will it end?
Update 2: Would this be blocked? Obscene?
Well, I don’t know which one is funnier, but it is a bit scary too.

Once again, Adobe CS4 costs about $400.00 AUD more to purchase from the Australian store than from the US store.
Today, $1399 US = ($1399/.8375) = $1670.45 AUD
Adobe Australia sells the CS4 package for $2089 AUD, that is $418 AUD more than I could buy it from the US store (if I could buy it from the US). It is a download, no physical delivery at all.
When I queried Adobe about this for CS3 they said it was for 1 year of tech support. Hands up any one who has actually needed to use Adobe’s tech support rather than just using Goggle to find an answer?
I am almost tempted to buy it and see how much I could use the tech support over a year. I am sure I could rack up a few thousand dollars of someone’s time over a year…..
This is why I refuse to buy it. The day it is roughly the same cost here as in the states, I probably will buy it, but until then, I will use The Gimp and GraphicConverter.
This is the best!
Mom, Dad, I have dibs on the real one of these out at the cottage it must be a collectors item!
