    RE: What would you like Sony to do?

    There probably isn't any other way but for Sony to reverse their decision.

    But if Sony want to stick to their guns then compensation options might available. There is a thread already regarding a dude in the UK getting 20% back on the cost of his console - but I believe that was from a shop & not directly from Sony.

    I agree

    People just DO NOT like being told & controlled by political powers. Thats what the fuss is all about.

    Conroy should re-consider using this as a political issue & get back to whats important Health, Education, Employment & stop being a big nanny.

    It should never be a governments job to censor the internet, they are too bias - look at China.

    The internet belongs to the people & if they want to use it illegally then thats upto them, as long as they can do the time when caught.

    Re:

    'Most IT people are idiot underlings without a clue, tied to menial Windows paradigms and doing things like telling idiot users their monitor is turned off and not dead. Which sucks. What sucks more is that because they are so clueless they can only continue to be cocky as long as the company maintains a Windows infrastructure that can procedurally manage by morons that think they're computer geniuses because they've heard of the registry or can use photoshop.

    Those who aren't underlings are invariably supervisor types putting in place the idiot tech policies of clueless executives that waste money and don't actually accomplish what the organization needs, rather than being able to implement and run anything sane as they know how to do.
    '

    Doesn't sound like anyone I've known in my menial 25 years in IT. I can program multple disciplines, work in multiple environments, Integrate almost any system into another... all at break neck speed - As can most of the IT dudes I know. I HAVE FOUND THAT IT'S DUDES THAT SLAG OFF OTHERS & BLAME DUMB USERS FOR EVERYTHING... are themselves menial little people that are not very good at IT - whos Boll*$ks views should never be heard...

    Yes you should stay anon.. and away from IT!.

    Cheaper drugs could be good if used correctly

    Firstly I do respect that developing new drugs is a very expensive & a lengthy process. It could be percieved that Israel are ripping off the drug developing companies who just want to collect back some of the costs that go into development.
    Why not allow for a scheme that would allow generics to be produced cheaply by say Israel, India etc that would allow the poorer countries to be able to afford drugs that they would not normally be able to.
    Ban generics from richer countries to allow development to pay off.
    Just maybe this would be the humane thing to do. But greed by those who have will always outrank the benefits to those who have not.
    OH! what a divided world we have, can we not at least try to help everyone?
