Telstra outsources its customer service

Aha, that's an amazing audio file.  The Aussie is completely realistic, too!

I finished Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein, it's really good but I don't understand the point of it.  The ending doesn't feel like it should stop there.

I hate game over screens.  They're so... final.  That's why Nytar's Subdungeon appeals to me, it looks great and when you die, you don't die!  It resets the board for you, and you try again.  Instant-kill puzzles suddenly aren't so ire-inducing anymore.
