George Dubya Bush

He grinds my gears because, like Ronald Reagan, he's going to get away with all the evil he's done

Oh and Ronald Reagan, may he rot in the ground and be spat on by the descendants of the millions he funded to have tortured and killed. He grinds my gears

lol, that's pretty messed up, oh well canterbury's loss there.

I'll be happy to see away with the old www, at least in spoken language.

Both are redundant IMO.
The "dot co dot nz" or "dot com" intrinsically defines the previous statement as being a web address.
www. is defunct as is, and everyone should be forced to use redirection to the subdomainless site.
As I understand it, it's a legacy from back in the day where it defined what sort of server you were connecting to (ftp, http, mail, etc), as a naming convention. Of course there are a few valid reasons for it, but often hosts are not set up this way, and it truely is nothing more than a convention.

But yeah, 'dub dub dub' is pretty annoying, "Look at me, I'm internet-savvy." Lazy bastards.

Yeh, but irony is great like that. Because by saying such a thing, they're instantly proving that they're not savvy at all.

Massey does that.

Might have something to do with the 'ac.nz'?

No, it's one of two things.
1. They're lazy ignorant fucks.
2. The root domain is a seperate machine, and is being used for a different purpose, and there's no webserver on it.

Well, so far as I understand. Admittedly I'm no PhD on the topic.

So I am doing up my house and have delined( removed gib) all the walls, ceiling etc and I think I should put in wall insulation, redo the ceiling and do under the floor.

 So in I go to get my insulation and my government subsidy, which is $1500. Get this, I can't do it myself, even though my 2 year old could do it, I have to use a accredited installer and they charge fucking heaps.

It is cheaper for me to just buy the batts and do it myself, so this subsidy does fuck all except line the pockets of the installers.

Someone really needs to fix this

I personally dont use a local firewall or antivirus, sure i have my router with no ports forwarded to my computer, but i also dont go clicking on 'You're the 100000000000000000000000th visitor, click here for your free iPad'

Im also smart enough to know what process's should or shouldn't be running. So ive never had a problem.

Sorry if you misunderstood what I was meaning, Was just pointing out that I had installed it for them,

But hey, anti-virus software doesn't mean you're not going to get a virus either! Because if it did, and the subjects paid subscription actually worked, it would have saved me doing a fresh install of windows in the first place! (it was just easier, had f all files), So as for the user that doesn't know much I installed one,

And no I'm not a I.T expert, but Im not a dumbass and do know and learn things, so thanks for your input, much appreciated.

Yeah... I know.

I WAS HAVING A GO AT YOU FOR INSTALLING A FIREWALL ON SOMEONES COMPUTER EXPECTING IT TO HELP PREVENT VIRUSES. FIREWALLS DON'T PREVENT VIRUSES, THEY DON'T EVEN HELP. IT'S NOT WHAT A FIREWALL DOES.

FFS.

OK I didn't say I installed it for 'virus protection' like you believe, I installed those things at the same time, my apologies for not clearly stating why I did.

But please add something constructive next time, like why you do not believe firewalls help?

Even start a thread and educate the lesser beings, such as myself, thank you
