Lawsuit accusing Robinhood and Citadel Securities of colluding to stop GameStop shares from skyrocketing thrown out by judge

Re: But RobinHood did block buying Gamestop

America is in a death spiral. Rittenhouse got found not guilty because the law is designed to protect white people who shot blac and brown people, and their supporters. Looking from Australia it's incomprehensable that people are allowed to carrt military weapons on the street. I'll never ever vists their again. too dangerous.

As for stock trading - anybody knows it's just gambling and rigged towards the brokers and professional traders. the mug punters shoudl realise that. Just like the self defence laws it's made to benfit one side .. the rich white people.

Traffic lights worldwide set to change after Swedish engineer saw red over getting a ticket

What an a-hole. Running a light needs higher fines and shorter 'grace' periods, not longer

nbn™ pauses hybrid fibre-coax build and will fix current connections

Really, this is a direct result of the political attacks on the FTTH NBN that Labor were going to rollout but that Abbott saw political gain in opposing. Add in our now PM's blundering when minister for communications and we have this FUBAR situation when we could have had fabulous fibre.

I've had Optus HFC for 10+ years and have the 100Mbps/2Mbps sec service and regularly get those speeds (although Fri/Sat nights can see speeds drop to 30-40Mbps) . Will be interesting to say the least to see what happens when they force me onto NBN HFC instead.

SURPRISE: Telstra STILL wants all its promised NBN booty

Re: Paying to cut the copper

That's what Howard should have done back when Telstra was first sold but he wanted to maximise the money received to provide tax cuts and middle class welfare to keep himself in office. The Gov should have kept the switches and wires and sold off retail. Then they could have sold network access at the same price to all players, giving smaller entrants a level field and benefiting customers, instead of handing Telstra a near monopoly, even though the legislation supposedly guaranteed access for new entrants.
