    Successful quantum computer created

    So I have heard a lot of people mention this on the forums, so I thought I would leave the link to the article (from the Australian Broadcasting Commission's website). A little tidbit; it would take a computer the size of the known universe to be equivalent to the computer they have produced...

    Will there be an Atheist, Female, or Homosexual President in our lifetime?

    Australia has already had a female and atheist prime minister. I doubt the sexuality of the leader of a party would be of much significance since Australian politics downplay the importance of the leader in comparison to the USA, in addition to the fact that it really isn't that big of a deal...

    Oklahoma mom shoots and kills intruder

    Obviously you didn't read my posts, nor the posts I was responding to. The first person suggested that he wanted to kill both of the intruders, and called Australian laws "fucking bullshit" for not allowing him to do so legally. Of course the woman mentioned in this article shouldn't go to gaol...

    Oklahoma mom shoots and kills intruder

    My logic, and Australian laws are based on the presumption that murder is never justifiable. Ever. That's why we don't have the death penalty, that's why self defence laws are limited in their way. I think I could answer your question with my own question. What kind of archaic country would you...

    Oklahoma mom shoots and kills intruder

    No, you're bullshit. Self-defense should lie within the realms of an equal force back. I.E If you killed both of them when they broke into your house carrying a knife. Then yes, you should go to prison because it wasn't necessary.

    Homosexuality as a disorder

    To be honest, I believe egalitarianism is a better goal for the world than Communism.

    The Top Three Contenders for GOTY

    I think Zelda has a good chance. The first review of it is out, 10/10 by edge magazine. Also, ONM gave it 98/100 (their highest score ever) and called it the best Zelda game ever, take what you will from that.

    Poll: Why all the CoD hate?

    Besides the community, I hate the sheer pretentiousness of the games. After engaging in a spree of virtually mindless violence, we are presented with an anti war quote. Also the plot is... interesting, although I admit I stopped paying attention after they portrayed Russian tanks spraying...

    Should I/How do I go to school in Australia?

    Actually, there are some differences to the territories (Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory) For one, they don't have full state governments.

    Independent: Yes. Indie (as in its new meaning that I find hard to define): no.

    The scar had not pained him for 19 years. All was well.

    Guess that obscure game quote!

    Here's an easy one: "I coveted that wind, I suppose" It's one of my favourite gaming quotes.
