What! You mean that they have to turn left AND right as well as brake?

What about hex or octal then?

Obviously programming is the wrong field if you guys are getting 6 figures.

Now, to bring things back on topic. Don't forget to check out the Slamball tonight!

Yep, looks like regional viewers still get shafted to a certain degree! No OneSD, just the HD. Here's me getting excited when I was reminded today's the day, only to find the HD channel, no SD for my Digital CRT Television or crappy STB on the older Telly.
What's even poorer is that there is no information as to what will be happening in the future. All this Digital/Freeview propaganda is a load of crap.
Off to JB's to get a HD STB I suppose!

I've been watching One HD in Sydney for a few months - I have to admit I thought it was a really stupid idea when I first heard of it, vowed I would never watch it and now I am addicted to NBA basketball and Major League baseball. Great free channel.

Watch the Slamball if you get a chance. An interesting sport...

Wait until the World Cup Flappist. Then we'll see some soccer.
haha I live in NZ for 6 years in the 90's, if you want daunting, try having one of them take a shine to you in a bar.........
