The Sespit That Is Crown Street Mall Wollongong

The place is a dump.

Everytime it rains there is water leaking into the place. A different escaltor is broken every time I go there. It is inconvenient to the disabled. Lifts arn’t sign posted properly and there are a multitude of split levels with small escalotors or stairs. It’s old and dirty. There are no discount department stores or supermarkets.

No Kmart, No BigW, No JB HiFi.

There are some horrible old cinemas tucked down the road somewhere. The food court is old and dirty. After seeing their store room a few years back I wouldn’t want to eat at that fruit shop.

They installed an electronic parking system but they kept all the parking staff on. They just stand around helping you put the ticket in the machine like you haven’t seen one before.

To top it off they want to charge you parking money to shop there. Warrawong is free parking, Figtree is free parking. Hell Paramatta, Penrith and Miranda all have free parking and their malls are all 4 times the size of Wollongong’s.

Meanwhile the Wollongong council has had a corrupt developments department for years and we are under administration for the next 4.

Shop somewhere else.

Lay Ministers

I’m talking about in the government.

For the position of Treasurer we only accept an expert. A big part of the election campaign was about who had the knowledge and experience to manage our economy between Peter Costello and Wayne Swan.

No similar critique is applied to the other portfolios in government.  We have ministers for defense with no defense experience, ministers for communications that know nothing about the telecommunications industry, ministers for health that know nothing about health.

Then they shuffle there positions around every few years based on how much power you have in some political party.

It’s fucking ridiculous

Fuck off back home, Tibet it part China.

That is how the ABC translated the Chinese chants this morning. I might have it a bit wrong it was 15minutes ago in the car but it was close to that.

WTF is with that translation, is it a literal translation or not? Fuck off back home is definitely a colloquial translation so why do they decide to switch to a literal translation at the end?

If its a colloquial translation then it should be Fuck off back home, Tibet is part of China. I think they want to have it both ways. They want to use the F* word but they still want you to think Chinese can’t speak properly.

Update: From SMH. “Asked what they were yelling, a man translated the chants into English, saying they meant: “F%#! you, go home. Tibet it a part of China.” I guess if it was someone in the crowd translating for the media then I have to take it back. It in fact was a Chinese guy not speaking proper English. Ironic LoL

Convince me incest is bad

Blah Blah

The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation

If you receive this error there are a few possible causes.

1. Group Policy

2. Local Policy

3. Some corrupt information in the registry

For 1. Run rsop.msc to display the result set of group policies. Check under Computer Configuration -> Administrative templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Installer

For 2. Run gpedit.msc and check the same area. This is the local policy.

For 3. If it is just one pesky program that wont install check under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products\ and delete the relevent key. (Backup first)

I had this problem with the access 2000 runtime. It was installed on Windows Server 2003 and then the server was turned into a terminal server.

The access runtime needs to be installed in a special way on a terminal server so by installing the runtime before installing terminal services it gets put in a bit of a funny state.

Deleting the key and re-installing the runtime fixed it for me.
