will be there to ask questions.

Nah, I have a council cleanup coming up & I can't spare the time.

It's an ACS sponsored lecture from someone who clearly has the
background to understand the issues. I posted the information in the
hope that someone who believes that "there is sfa beneficial about the
nbn" will attend and demonstrate their superior knowledge.

Not that any member of the ACS has a fucking clue...
But yes, I'll come. Get them to buy me a ticket,
and accomodation for a night, and I'll do it
for free.

If anyone can quantify the benefits, he should offer his services to
Conroy who is under siege being challenged by rational people to justify
spending $37b+ of taxpayers money. If Conroy is willing to spend $24m on
a business *plan*, imagine what he'd pay for a business *case*!

And yesterday, I discovered that Roxon is spending $466m on e-Health in
the NEXT TWO YEARS. E-Health is cited ad-nauseum as a reason to have an
NBN but now we are discovering that it is another big black hole into
which Labor pours taxpayers money. If the NBN was so beneficial would it
not make e-Health easier and *cheaper*?

Bottom line:
No-one can justify spending 5-10 times what is needed to build an NBN.
At this point, time would be better spent working out a new plan for 2
years time, when we kick these idiots out.

Everyone knows the benefits of the *internet* in general. Who wants to
listen to a bunch of Labor sycophants dishonestly attributing the
benefits of the *internet* to a misconceived overpriced white elephant?

Organise a debate (not a lecture) on the economic benefits of 100Mbps
versus 12Mbps and it *might* be of some interest.

Supply free air tickets and accomodation , otherwise I don't need to
prove the current nbn is off kilter as anyone working on it knows that
already although I note you are currently in denial that can be addressed .

Any refreshments? For 20 bucks there should be.

Have you never heard of the Australian Computer Society?

Unfortunately Yes, but then they were never any hinderance throughout my
career and flagged a few deadbeat organisations(job requires ACS
membership).

 

[atec77]

Have you never heard of the Australian Computer Society?

Yes and all three members self recommend highly

Don't knock them - you do one of their courses of only a few weeks
duration and you can be an ACP.

The university path to big bucks takes 4 years - and you get the same
number of letters - some of them lower case!!! The universities need a
wake up call - how will we fill the skills shortage at this rate?

As long as they pay my ticket, overnight accommodation and expenses, I
don't mind giving a talk to some feeble-minded fat arsed wankers.

But I expect it will be a jolly day out for said feeble-minded fat arsed
wankers in Canberra to have a mutual wank, and a nice glass of bubbly...

Of course I would pay but it seems that you wouldn't even be able to
get to the right city.

So, pay for the ticket fat-arse.

Another Labour Government Initative, what's the Point.
They've turned something that could have been quite useful
into something absolutly useless.


What's the point of a Fibre Optic Cable when it's slower than the
service I have right now and the usage is 1/8th what I get now, and
would cost me $10 more for that privelidge.

So what's the point of a Super fast Broadband.
I'd have to have my head read to say 'yes' please sign me up, and
make it pronto.

So, pay for the ticket fat-arse.

I would prefer to pay for someone who has not demonstrated that they
are inadequate for the task. You have already shown that you could not
find the meeting by indicating that you believe it is in Canberra
instead of Melbourne. Now you signify that you are unwilling to change
your preconceived ideas by drawing conclusions about the size of my
arse without seeing it.

 

[David Segall]

Where did he say that the lecture was in Canberra ? Read what he
wrote carefully

I did. That is why I said that "a jolly day out for said feeble-minded
fat arsed wankers in Canberra" _indicated_ that he thought the meeting
was in Canberra. A different interpretation is possible. Do you have a
plausible one?

So in truth this exerpt of yours read as ""Having been called and
caught out I am unwilling to risk the shame of certainly being handed my
arse by an well armed mentally superior person who actually knows the
facts and I am now going to fake excuses and run away ""

levi you are a cockspank who brought a blunt stick to a gun fight

Phhhttt... Don't you ever get sick of me handing you your fat arse in
public?

You have already shown that you could not find
the meeting by indicating that you believe it is in Canberra instead of
Melbourne.

Did I? Sure? Or are you reading minds again?
Are you going to give a talk on eHealth? That
should be worth the trip. That was sarcasm BTW.

Now you signify that you are unwilling to change your
preconceived ideas by drawing conclusions about the size of my arse
without seeing it.

You know that as well?
