FA-18 Super Hornet going ballistic

Cheers!

This not only has ramifactions on the general user but on the country as a whole? How can Australia compete on a global scale business-wise when they are at such a disadvantage (the current speed of Broadband in Australia is appauling in its current state but thats another issue for another time)?

You might ask "Surely they will let the user decide if filtered internet is for them?". Uh Uh, the filtering is mandatory though the user can opt for a "less filtered" option which has yet to described. Internet is modern freedom, its like when you first get your license, the world in all its shining light and dark shadows opens up to you. How can a government force everyone to not have that freedom!

You can do something about it though; NoCleanFeed.com has the answers. Head on over and help us fight the good fight!

Anyhoo my 22nd B'Day has been and gone and out of it I have scored some nice camera gear to allow me to do some long exposures shots among other things!

So look out at my flickr page (http://www.flickr.com/photos/10867582@N08/) in the near future to see what I can produce using my new tools of the trade

I am also looking for a suitable solution to particularly wide images being cut off due to my love of themes that have a set width instead of a flexible one. Hopefully I can implement that quick smart!

Thats enough from me, back to WipeoutHD/Force Unleashed on the Playstation 3

Anyhoo back to the article; The new Spec C is focusing on lightening the body weight and improving handling rather than add anymore/much power to the existing STI. More details can be found http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1557819&page=3 (my post is at the very top).

It looks the goods and if it does infact hit Australia I will be definately getting one. By the time they hit I will be off my Ps and legally able to drive one too

One last thing. Australia's current rating system for videogame is shall we say....crap. Its very outdated and does not reflect the attitude of the modern Australian. There are more gamers these days than there ever was. In fact there is a gaming console per 5 people in Australia. Thats pure consoles like your Playstation 3s and Nintendo Wii etc and not things that CAN play games like Personal Computers.

One man trying to change this is Greg Tannahill. He is running as a candidate in October in the Australia Capital Territory's state election. We wish him all the best and when you have a few minutes drop by his website @ http://amongthedust.blogspot.com/.

Drop to a Elevated Command Prompt (Start>type cmd>right-click on cmd icon and hit "Run as Administrator"
Navigate to your user profile folder (cd c:\users\username\)
Type icacls Favorites /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low

And hey presto its fixed!

This problem occurs as Internet Explorer in Windows Vista runs under Protected mode (low integrity level) by default, and therefore will only be able to modify objects marked with a low integrity level in their system ACLs. This is to save the moronic users from killing their computer via spyware and other nasties on the Internet.

A good read on integrity levels can be found @ http://blogs.technet.com/steriley/archive/2006/07/21/442870.aspx

Another problem solved

Basically a MY08 Impreza 2.0R with these bits!

1. front lip spoiler
2. spoiler lip
3. front grill
4. rear spoiler lip
5. flexible tower bar
6. Recaro bucket seats
7. seat bracket
8. shift knob
9. pedal pads
10. rear view mirror seal
11. black interior trim
12. stainless muffler
13. intake manifold
14. oil filler cap
15. front height adjustment type suspension
16. rear height adjustment type suspension
17. front 4-pot brake
18. rear 2-pot brake
19. lateral link front+rear (pillow)
20. aluminium wheels (17x7.5j)
21. Bridgestone tires (Potenza RE070; 225/45R17)
22. wheel nuts

All from the Subaru's factory tuning house STI (Subaru Tecnica International)!

I was just about to dump some cash on my current MY03 RS to get STI springs and strut bars for front and rear but if this thing comes out in Aus and is priced right (closer to current 2.0R pricing and not near the WRX) then I will be waltzing down to Subaru Docklands and trading in my current one for a demo (so I can bargin like a true bastard ).

I always entertained the notion of putting wicked black Recaros in my current RS, getting a 4/6 point harness and some bigger brakes for those 'spirited' driving sessions but this is everything I every wanted plus decent POWER and torque to boot (oh by the way the NA Concept comes in at 147kw and 196nm)

I'm frothing at the mouth even thinking about driving this machine. It fits perfectly in my plans (as a turbo'd WRX or WRX STI would kill me in insurance being under 25)!

Anyhoo enough chit chat here comes the pictures shamelessly stolen from the North American Subaru Impreza Owners Club;

Before I go, this brings about two things in my mind;
1) A revival of the Honda Civic EK9 series (the paintjob helps) and
2) A car ready out of factory (almost) for the S2000 Rally Laws (which forbids Turbo Powered cars iirc)

Wow, long time since I have attended to this blog. Main Computer has been down for a long time (died just before I went away to Hong Kong; more on that later) and I have been focusing my attention on other things like my Cert 4 in IT (which I now have) and work in general instead of getting my main rig up but now its up and expect some more regular entries.

There are two very awesome movies coming out this year. In the not too distant future we have Batman: The Dark Knight but even further down the track a personal favourite of mine is getting a direct sequel for the first time...Bond, James Bond!

Entitled Quantum of Solace, the plot picks up directly where Casino Royale left the audience, with Bond wanting answers (from the elusive Mr White) after his only true love Vesper killed herself in an attempt to shield James from a organisation described as being bigger than any one could possibly fathom!

Check out everything QoS at http://www.007.com or have a play with the cool widget below!

Thats it for now, look forward to some articles about The Dark Knight, Hong Kong, Metal Gear Solid 4 and more in the near future.
Cheers

Before I get to the main subject just to let you know my main computer is down (mobo dead) and hence the reason this beast hasn't been updated in a while.
