Its all about being a good sport and being good mannered. Taking part is the main thing, if you take it all to seriously you spoil the game.<span id='postcolor'> Yes i must say that sport does hold its special place for me but seriously though/ It ain't just the aussies who take sport seriously. You can't say that most all professional athletes outside aus are happy enough to have a good time in some 3rd world country <cough> sponsers <cough>, i think you ge the idea. I must say that one of the reasons aus win is actually public attitude but it ain't just winning. I can remember my parents and the rest of my sporting team's parent would take us to the other side of brisbane (quite a long way) or <insert city/shire/etc.> just to see us play a game of sport. I see this more truly in lesser known/popular games here. Sport is something every country should invest in as it is something you can be proud in without going to war.

Companies (if you can call them that) have bots that search out peoples addresses. Its like an auto-dialer.

The rest (Spam) gets put in your junk mail folder, and you can delete it en-mass.<span id='postcolor'> I would normally do this but i recieve outside mail not from my friends list (eg. i'm expecting an email from this company and i have no idea of the address it'll be and don't want to have to add them to my list). ad-bots..eek!. Aaahhhh.. their coming to get me!!! </acting like an idiot>

I have had a hotmail account for 6 years now and i as you have probably guessed, rather then dump the account i have choosed to keep the account for obvious contacting reasons. The problem, welll, it started out with a few from a shopping spam, but it has blown out into a full scale war against me. What do i do? Do i unsubscribe from the computer (possibly registering that my email is an actual address thus increase spam or do i cope it like a man?) or something else i haven't thought of. Anyone won a spam war without resorting to spam. I'm seriously pissed about this. I have no idea how my address was sold out anyway. help!

What i've read is all pretty much correct. Bit late for this advice but what the heck: Go with people you can "sort out" later on (aka cheaters, insenitve pricks , etc. etc.). I made a bad mistake of going with a few friends but alot of unknown adults. If one of those adults was my size or similar then he would be seriously f#cked (eg. shot me unarmed). Team play is also really important especially on CTF. Our team absolutely rocked on those missions because my friend brough his ex-army father which helped sort us out.

In the 70's there was one attempt. Four hijackers tried to take over a plane that was heading for Egypt. The onboard security guards took control of the situation and disarmed the hijackers. They then put them in first class, restraining them to to chairs. Then they cut their throaths. After that there have been no attempts of hijacking of Sudanese airliners.. While the Sudan example is radical, I believe that competent air marshals are the solution. El-Al is a very good example of how this can work.<span id='postcolor'> I have some things to say to that 1) Does any country really care about sudan?

i suppose now the americans know how the people in sydney feel (about the bushfire near their homes). It's a real shame when it's some delinquent 12year olds. Seeing them ruin their lives at such an early age is a real shame too. I vote the guy (idiot of the week) should be give a months service as a "dispatcher" for his idiocy.

I would be the part of the other part of the company which no-one knows about yet seems to keep the company afloat by methods unknown (yes, legal + illegal). With a member of the goverments tax organisation permanetly stationed in this other part of the company, there has been rumours going around for some 10 years now that eventual there will be an goverment raid. The only known existance of this other part of the company is that every year at the company party there is always missing rented equipment and drinks.
