It's a catch-22 that before you change any of this, you need to back up first!
I didn't find out until the warranty for the OS has expired either, and i haven't really wanted to try and reinstall every goddamn thing, which is a horrible job.

Partitions!
On Firefox, right click/view image,or just single left click to have it come up in the blogger's image viewer.
This is causing me havoc - it's stopped me from being able to backup my system, because the system partitions have no free space, which is a requirement.

ANZ Australia announces it will now pay men less for the same work than women
- and the Australian Gov't approves!
https://archive.is/UUUKD
In each case (except in New South Wales), the legislation allows “special measures” to be taken and states that such measures do not constitute unlawful discrimination.
Huh. So justice for all - except the people the commissioners don't like?
In essence, ANZ considers that paying extra superannuation contributions to female employees constitutes a special measure under the relevant legislation.
Like not paying Jews an equal salary would be. Oh sorry, I mean Jewish MEN. Discriminating against them is fine. And Aboriginal MEN. And gay MEN.
In fact, I have to wonder who is protected from discrimination under this law?
Oh right - anyone not a MAN.
Everyone was equal under the law in Nazi Germany, except, of course, for those for whom “special measures” applied.
ANZ also consulted with the Australian Human Rights Commission, which advised that in its view ANZ’s initiative “addressed an inequality in retirement savings between male and female employees” and was “consistent with the objects of the Sex Discrimination Act”.
Hmm. Aboriginals have less savings than white people. Should white people be paid less? Asians have more savings. Should they be paid less?
I look forward to an announcement by ANZ that Asian workers will now be docked wages because they work too damned hard.
Initially the German government passed laws to exclude Jews from civil society https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_HolocaustThe Holocaust wasn't built in a day. The gas ovens were built brick by bloody brick, with little acts of discrimination masking the hatred underneath.
You can even force your victims to build the machinery of their execution, after a while.

The fact that the Australian Government approves of this galls me the most - and let's make it clear, this is occurring in a supposedly conservative government!

Australian government announced company to control monopoly over medical cannabis research
http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/business/breaking-news/govt-grants-medlab-cannabis-licence/story-fni0xqe3-1227461276091
Oh, this is not looking good. And I have to wonder how much that company donated to their campaign fund.
What risk? There have been zero overdoses recorded in the history of it's usage. Compare that to panadeine! And the patented delivery system sounds like they get t charge an arm and a leg to use something that costs almost nothing to make.
I recall reading Sativex (a cannabis extract) costs $10, 000/month for the users - they are taking something that a terminally ill person could grow themselves, and telling them they can have it to relieve their pain - but they better sell the house first...
"About 30 adults will participate in the first of three trials testing whether medicinal cannabis alleviates symptoms and pain for terminally ill patients and chronic sufferers."
The United States has tens of thousands of users who have been evaluated in such trials, which is why it was approved there. Why the hell would 30 here be needed?
This is for show; this is about control and the 'santisation' of cannabis, not about patient care.
Example of the American data:
There's no comparison. Of that thirty, maybe half will get through to the end. This is "Yes, Minister" stuff, not scientific research!

"the company said it believed its patented particle delivery technology would mean smaller doses of cannabis would have to be used in patient care, resulting in less risk and fewer complications"

Conclusions: Cannabis-based medicine is effective in reducing pain and sleep disturbance in patients with multiple sclerosis related central neuropathic pain and is mostly well tolerated.
http://msj.sagepub.com/content/10/4/434.short
Spasticity VAS scores were significantly reduced by CBME (Sativex) in comparison with placebo (P- 0.001). There were no significant adverse effects on cognition or mood and intoxication was generally mild.

Free drawing programs
From http://giovannuzza.tumblr.com/
*= available for both windows and mac os
GIMP * - Does a lot of the same stuff as Photoshop.
FireAlpaca * - Similar to Paint Tool Sai, so it’s a good alternative for Mac users.
Autodesk Sketchbook Copic Edition * - Simulates the look of copic markers.
MyPaint * - Basic stuff, nothing fancy.
Pinta * - Drawing program modeled after paint.NET.
Inkscape * - Vector/drawing program meant to be similar to Illustrator.

Sumo Paint * - In-browser drawing app.
DAZ Studio * - Some sort of 3D model poser thing.
Pencil * - Software for animating.
SketchUp * - Tool for making 3D models. Looks handy for stuff like architectural drawings.
Blender * - Pretty popular 3D software.
escape motions * - Some browser apps, fun to fiddle with when you’re bored (the fluid fire simulation is pretty cool imo).
Twistedbrush (Pixarra) - Seems to be meant for replicating the look of traditional media.
Pixia/Phierha - A popular program in Japan, according to the website.
Krita - This was originally made for Linux and it looks like the developers haven’t ironed out all of the kinks in the Windows installer.
Artweaver - Another trimmed down free thing if you don’t want to buy the full program.
paint.NET - Pretty basic kit, probably good for simple stuff.
Project Dogwaffle - I’m not sure what this one is all about because I couldn’t stop laughing at the terrible website.
Speedy Painter - Lightweight digital painting program.
mtPaint - Originally made for pixel art; simple enough to run on older computers.
Chasys Draw IES - Supposed to be some sort of drawing+image editor thing.
PaintRibbon - Seems to be another plain old basic image editor.
DrawPlus - Looks like it’s made for graphic design and vector stuff.
SmoothDraw - I’m guessing this is a basic thing for people who don’t want to bother with complicated stuff.

Kristen Stewart struggles against the opression of making so much money...
https://archive.is/jhimo
"the "girl prison" of misogyny"
Uh huh. The hatred against women... the same hate that means she's hired over and over for incredibly well paid jobs.
Wow, nice prison. How do I get in?
"the unreasonable demands made of women"
Yah, working is harrrrrrrd.
" the straightjacket of these expectations"
Good grief. This is like that emo poetry self-obsessed kids write, about how terribly mean their parents are when they give them a new car but it doesn't have the right brand name. How can she live with that suffering?
"after years of being chastised for looking sullen on the red carpet"
Yup. You are there to sell the movies and make the investors money. That's it. You can't smile? Some actor you are!
"having a complex personal life"
Is that what we are calling it? She cheats on her partners. She's a slut. Oh right - cheating on a man totally doesn't count, it's 'empowering', but if he does it, why, the wrath of feminism shall be rained upon him...
"It was a really traumatic period in my early 20s that kick-started something in me that was a bit more...feral,"
She says, pointing to her body piercing as if that was proof she'd done something dangerous. Meanwhile, the men who had fought in wars just wish they could get the metal shards out of their bodies.
" Is your main goal in life to be desired?"
Depends if you are selling movies. Are you trying to sell movies? Because if you're not - good for you. Hollywood needs you to stand up and tell them you won't make them money. Then they'll replace you with the next starlet and we'll read about you when you die and think "wasn't she in... you know... that movie... i think it had apes or something?"

Amanda Marcotte, you lying sack of shit.
You claim false rape allegations are as rare as zombie bites?
https://archive.is/PtTgY
The Police have prosecuted people for false allegations. Which you claim cannot possibly exist. Surely you should drop everything and rush to the aid of these poor damsels in distress?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_accusation_of_rape
Hmm. Studies show it ranging from 2-90%. The true number is unknowable - except that it isn't zero, now, is it?
Still, quoting Manboobz as your source means you aren't terribly serious about facts.
I love the way you see a recording of sexual encounters as being a way of enabling rape - so even if a man has a recording of an encounter with a woman going "I want sex" every thirty seconds, you'll turn around and have that man charged as a rapist?
Yup. That's the sort of world you want us to live in.
Amanda Marcotte, you are the biggest recruiting tool we could wish for.

Feminists arrange Domestic Violence laws to suit their propaganda
“This is the Big Lie of feminist propaganda. The data shows that domestic violence in Australia is heavily concentrated in Aboriginal and other underclass communities.”
I’ve been saying this for a while now. There was The Intervention because domestic violence in a few communities is so freakishly high.
When Australian feminists quote that 10 women die every second from their partners (or whatever number they feel like making up on the day), they never mention that it’s almost entirely in indigenous communities and has nothing to do with mainstream Australia (and the violence is reciprocated, but they don’t care if it’s male brains being splattered, now, do they!)
A large sign for the public's benefit detailing a few acts of criminally offensive conduct in the Northern Territory. This is a part of the Northern Territory Intervention effort initiated by the Commonwealth of Australia in order to tackle systemic issues facing Northern Territory citizens and residents.
