And that's just the first three radio stations I could think of in my home city of Sydney.

It's showing in Australia, the UK, Canada, and Italy to record ratings

The Mortar Machine is a prototype of a machine which will be the hub of an automated bricklaying process. The machine will automatically deliver the mortar mix (cement, sand and a thickening agent like lime) needed to bond the bricks together when building a brick structure. The Mortar Machine will need to work in tandem with an automatic bricklaying machine which has yet to be produced. However, the technology exists to produce one. In fact, a Bricklaying Robot is in the prototype stage in Germany.

>>when I usually listen to hard-rock and black metal If you were listening to regular rock, you might try Trile J. There are some great bands brewing in .au. It's only a matter of time before the rest of them catch up with Jet, AC/DC, Mars Volta, SpiderBait, etc... It's only a matter of time.

There was a similar sort of machine called the 'Mortar Machine' on the ABC show, 'The New Inventors'.

Pretty cool idea, and useful too with considerable miniaturisation effort.

"Australian inventions from all decades of the twentieth century are included. Many are well known -- like the Ute (1934), the Hills Hoist (1948), the IVF freeze-thaw method for storing embryos (1983), the Triton portable multipurpose workbench (1976), the Wiltshire Staysharp knife (1970), and anti-counterfeiting technology for banknotes (1992)."

"Other Australian inventions are more surprising. Almost every office in the country has a wall-mounted Miniboil (1981), aeroplanes worldwide carry black box flight recorders (1961), and the concept of Racecam TV sport coverage was also developed here (1979)."

I dunno. But Triple J recently celebrated 30 years of being on the air and released this recording from 1981. Karl (not yet a doctor) rang up Triple J to offer his help with a program on the space shuttle they were doing. The best bit is at the end:

Presenter: Well, you'd better come in! [...] How will I recognize you?
Karl: I'm... very tall and very skinny and I wear a bright shirt.

:)

I read them all. Doesn't mean I have to agree with their fear mongering that's not based in reality. For instance just today
New evidence: farming is huge source of greenhouse gases
Snowpack Surveys Bode Well for L.A. Water Supply LADWP Reports Highest Snow Levels in a Decade
Adaptation the key to surviving climate change, scientists say
AFRICA: Climate change becoming a matter of life and death
Oh look, directly to your early point "It was made crystal clear at the UN climate change conference in Argentina last November that the international community won't support global systems to regulate greenhouse gases. The US, China and developing countries decided Kyoto would not extend beyond 2012. Overtures by the European Union to extend it were rejected. Most greens pretend this did not occur. They also ignore the fact that most governments are not persuaded by claims that global warming presents a cataclysmic threat.
" Liberal plan will cost Canadians billions of dollars annually, Tories say /A>


How many do you read?

Did you agree when they said the cause of the Dec 26th Tsunami was Global Warming? Or when they said that Hurricanes were on the rise due to global warming. Most people didn't because Global Warming doesn't cause Earthquakes (Certianly not warming of 1 degree Farenheit on average global mean) and Hurricanes are on the decrease, as our weather records show.

BTW You called me wrong before when I stated how much warming we had in the 20th century, but you still haven't backed that up. You would think if I was so wrong you could easily show how stupid I was, yet you just go on and use insults as a debating tactic. But that's okay, obviously your opinions on this are just fantasy perpetuated byt the Media scare tactics, I don't expect you to deal with reality in the discusion.

ABC program:

Contact type: Complaint

Subject: Logo Watermarking

Comments: The introduction of the watermark on ABC TV is offensive and detracts from the program. This is particularly apparent on widescreen digital when the watermark is out in the middle of the screen.

ABC Television's greatest draw is the quality of its programming. ABC shouldn't have to use in-your-face self-advertising techniques to attract viewers. It is that very inundation that drives people away from other networks.

I'm a bit of a midnight oil fan and have been since I was at Uni. so Imagine my suprise when JJJ re-release a concert televised back in '85 - Oils on the Water. The concert was recorded in 1" broadcast video, 4:3 & digital stereo tapes for the Goat Island Sydney Harbour concert. On the same release is a Super 16 mm film and analog multitrack recordings of the Capitol Theatre concerts back in '82.

I guess some of the key lessons to learn can be read in the detailed discussion of how they re-mastered the images & sound to produce a DVD and CD of the original concerts. Some of the key takeways are:

• keep track of items together so they dont get lost
• check your media as it decays - especially transitional new media that has yet to reach stability
• you may only have one chance to re-record, transcribe the originals so get good technical advise
• have a continuity plan for resurecting the data as it was originally intended

The reason I've bothered to highlight this restoration is so you can see what happens with information stored on old media over period 20 years. In both cases, Goat Island & The Capital, the original data had been collected but only the prior data had been kept in a professional archival environment.

Is your data as future proof ?

Oh, I don't think you have to be a US basher to see that the US government is very good at controlling information, and getting much, much better at it.

You're jesting, of course, but you seem quite happy for the US government to maintain the internet in it's interests, which is a little odd for someone railing against governing bodies attempting to regulate global communications.

two edges are nearly 28 billion light years apart and our universe is only 14 billion years old.

In 1998, astronomers discovered that the universe is expanding at ever faster speeds. It's an effect still searching for a cause - until then, everyone thought the universe's expansion was slowing down after the big bang.

One podcast that I enjoy is Dr Karl on JJJ in Australia. It's a segment where people ring up and ask science questions and Dr Karl tries to answer them. He also takes answers from other listeners on the web. Normally quite interesting.

Find out how to listen at http://www.abc.net.au/science/k2/stn/podcast.htm

You may also want to listen to StarStuff on ABC NewsRadio (like Radio National, without opinion and focused more on world events).

Quite interesting. Each show usually goes for 1 hour, sometimes half with a crossover to a science program from another network.

Capturing the stream and converting to an appropriate format for listening on your portable device is left as an exercise for the reader ;)

There is even a podcast. here

Well you are clearly not Australian and don't know who Dr. Karl is. He is the smartest man alive, he knows everything about everything and is absolutly infallable. Ask him anything about quantum physics to muscular distrophy and he will have an easy to understand explanation for it right away.

I, for one, would be honored to have a potentially dangerious experiment performed on me for no good reason by Dr. Karl.

Seriously though, have a listen for yourself in real or wma

I can't seem to find any evidence that it's been discredited yet (Google keeps giving me the quack sites rather than trustable responses) but I did find this.
Since it was a news program, it can't be considered too credible. (Though, this might just be an American bias since we've had major news networks show "proof" of faith healing and the Apollo moon hoax) However, it seems to have been conducted by credible scientists along with Randi himself. As expected, it showed no statistical deviation.

Since 4 other studies seemed to support the orginal one, but no mention was made of how many contradicted it, I'm going to guess that all 5 studies supporting it were due to statistical or human error.

No UV-B (or UV-A) rays would make it that far down the tube - most glass attenuates UV quite well.

You'd need to get some stupidly expensive glass (like the kind used in photolithography) to transmit the UV down the light pipe.

I did a quick search on google, and came across this about glass absorbing UV:

"From: James Richmond (Avatar) 15/02/99 12:39:42
Subject: re: sunburn and car windows post id: 1216
As others have said, glass absorbs UV reasonably effectively. I am reminded of a story told by the late Richard Feynman, who was present at the first nuclear bomb detonation. The bomb was mounted on a tower in the desert. Everyone was issued with dark goggles to protect their eyes from the flash as the bomb went off. The goggles were almost opaque, making it difficult to see anything. Feynman figured that the only dangerous thing would be the UV light, and he wanted to get a good look at the explosion, so he sat in a car and watched through the windscreen (without goggles), assuming that the screen would absorb much of the harmful UV. As a result, he probably got the best naked-eye view of anyone present."

You're right about people's insensitivity when making mean jokes about others' misfortunes. But realize that "gallows humor" can target anyone's misfortune:

"Humorous treatment of a grave or dire situation".

BTW, Americans are far from unique in our double standard of insensitivity.

""Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die." - Mel Brooks

And then there's the German "schadenfreude": delight in another person's misfortune.

Unfortunately for human harmony, insensitive self-centered ignorant pricks are often funny - if not to the victim.

Dr Felicia Cosman, clinical director at the National Osteoporosis Foundation in the United States, and a specialist in the bone-thinning disease,said the weightlessness of space provides a perfect laboratory.

"It is a great model for what happens with immobilisation due to any disease," she said."I think we can use the information to try and figure out how to use mechanical devices to actually build bone and to better design agents for future osteoporosis treatment."

http://abc.net.au/science/news/stories/s777168.htm

OK, your source is one sentence from a two year old popular science article on a general news website. That's a crap citation, and the fact that it's the best you can do shows how pathetic you are.

I would also say that Dr. Cosman is a moron if she thinks that we need to observe astronauts on ISS to develop a model of how immobilisation affects the body. We have years of data from Mir, data from Apollo, data from Gemini, data from Skylab and data from the Soviet program. For that matter we also have tons and tons of data from hospitals and rest homes all over the world, and we get more every day. I think it's time for Dr. Cosman to go back to medical school or perhaps give up her job as "clinical director" and go back to treating real patients every day.

Your next set of lies is:

All anti-viral drugs were produced - after decades of failure on earth - by the Gamma-interferon and Neuraminidase protein growth conducted on the shuttle (most of the ISS protein growth experiments are too recent). Rough protein shapes had been determined before, but it took the large space-grown crystals to make them effective. All anti-influenza drugs are descended from these.

Drugsfor hepatitis B and C, hairy cell leukemia, Karposi's sarcoma, multiple myeloma, and melanoma are almost all designed related to alpha-interferon, which was grown on the shuttle. The same goes for Factor D concerning certain aspects of heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular surgery complications (there's already one drug on the market); recombinant insulin was developed by Eli Lilly and Hauptman Woodard based on the crystals grown on the shuttle (crystals grown on Earth were not high quality enough); there's research on emphysema ongoing because of the elastase crystals; modern antiparasitic drugs are generally involved with malic enzyme, while antifungal are with isocitrate lyase. Drug delivery research is now a lot more successful thanks to the growth of human serum albumin (a protein that delivers most drugs, even aspirin). There are several projects ongoing for genetically engineering more nutricious plants using the DNA sequence identified once the protein structure of canavalin was determined. Drugs used to prevent rejection on transplant are designed around their effect on proline isomerase; and one of the most widely used virii in virus and genetic engineering research (tobacco mosaic virus) had crystals grown *of the entire virus*.

Well let's look at some of your lies here. Such as

recombinant insulin was developed by Eli Lilly and Hauptman Woodard based on the crystals grown on the shuttle (crystals grown on Earth were not high quality enough);

No, human recombinant insulin was first developed in the late 1970s and approved by the FDA in 1982. It was developed by Genentech and was the first product of recombinant DNA research approved for human therapeutic use. Claiming that the Shuttle and ISS had anything to do with it is like claiming that NASA invented Velcro (they didn't). It's a lie.

You also don't answer the question as to what the names of these drugs are? Are any of them in clinical trials, have anydrug companies filed a 21 C

And if there's one thing that guy's taught us, it's that Australia is full of critters that will happily kill you if you just piss them off a little. It's probably much easier to kill yourself off there than it is here in the states (Although we also have our share of poisonous nasties.)

That reminds me...

It is true that of the 10 most poisonous arachnids on the planet, Australia has 9 of them. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that of the 9 most poisonous arachnids, Australia has all of them. However, there are curiously few snakes, possibly because the spiders have killed them all. But even the spiders won't go near the sea. -- Douglas Adams

We also have ants that can kill you with a single bite, the world's most poisonous snake, and the world's most poisonous creature, the box jellyfish.

With all the time spent looking out for deadly snakes, ants, spiders, and fish... the crocodiles really don't concern us all that much :-)

I thought I might throw a little reality into the mix and see if it has any effect. It probably won't, it's more fun to make up shit to argue about than to actually try to understand the situation. This law was specifically designed to complement existing laws. They address a specific situation - the promotion and sale of 'suicide kits'. Evidently there is an Aussie 'Dr. Death' behind the manufacturing and distribution of kits containing "death bags that are placed over a victim's head and tightened like a noose to induce suffocation". The new version is much more civilized, featuring "drip bags that release chemicals into a canister to produce carbon monoxide, which is then inhaled through a tube through nostril prongs, causing death within an hour."

According to the government the law is not intended to be used to encroach on free speech or any legitimate "debate about euthanasia". What constitutes a legitimate debate is probably going to become a topic decided by the courts.

Let's not forget that one of the reasons we have governments is to keep an eye on the rascals of the world - as well as the outright monsters. Any law that limits speech is certainly flirting with that proverbial 'slippery slope' but sometimes it's necessary for society to take a stand on uncertain ground. It remains the obligation of a society's citizens to be aware of what the law says, it's intent, and the conditions and results of it's enforcement. Now days finding out what's really happening isn't that hard. It's got to be worth a few minutes of research to actually have an informed opinion - people pay more attention and there's less change of looking like an idiotic, clueless, ass.

Given Jeff Gannon-gate and that a blogger was able to get a White House press day pass finally, it seems the courts (blogger not a journalist=> must reveal sources) and executive branch (bloggers are journalists => can justify day passes!) have different views on the matter.

Or perhaps the same view

In Australia, the reach of the commercial-free radio stations I like is far beyond the reach of 3G services, and I can listen for free on my inherited c. 2001 handset.

When I'm overseas, I like tune in locally and get a bit of local culture.

there is no sign of intelligent life here

If ancient life can be discovered under Antarctic ice, nothing is unpossible.

Given our accessibility and coverage on earth, we didn't know about this ancient life until recently.

And now we only have few rovers on Mars...

Already being done.

Another poster mentioned that "Unfortunately, pretty much half of a cell tower's radius would be in mostly-unoccupied ocean." Considering the pervasiveness of cell phones, boaters could use their phones for 911 calls in emergencies on the water. The use of cell phones for marine communication is becoming more the norm. The ability to reach a local tower would aid those dialing 911, enabling them to go directly to emergency services, thereby avoiding delays during emergency situations.

No, they blow up in TV shows and movies because producers and probably the audience think it looks cool. As far as I know, real cars typically don't explode.

The weather's fine, but the recreational facilities leave something to be desired.

Being a former Republican, I figured out the communist/Islamunist connection fairly quickly. Actually if anything, they aren't fascist or communist, but theocrats. Communists, generally, are scared of religion. Fascists parade religion around like a crown, but generally base the laws of the land on corporate worship, not religious worship. Religious laws in a fascist society seem more to quell the would be theocrats and keep them in lockstep with the party.

Again, you are sticking words in my mouth. I didn't say it was from the top down in my posts. But, ok, you asked for it. Our esteemed executive defines torture as:

"...physical torture 'must be equivalent in intensity to the pain accompanying serious physical injury, such as organ failure, impairment of bodily function, or even death.'"

So, according to our executive, basically anything short of being drawn and quartered, disembowled, and killed, is legal. So raping is fine. Beating the living crap out of people is fine (as long as they don't die). Breaking bones, mutilating flesh, and removing parts of the body, so as long as they do not result in "impairment of bodily function" is fine.

So, you are right about one thing, although I never said you where wrong: Murdering prisoners is not officially sanctioned. Well, at least publically, I'm not privy to classified info and it's hard to prove an absolute negative in this case.

The memo in question

Oh, and yes, the military has shown a great interest in investigating what has been going on. However, the civilian leadership has shown more of an interest in making sure it is harder for investigations to find evidence.

"This in contrast of course to the Insurgents/Terrorists who advertise daily that they will kill, mutilate, rape, and execute any and all civilians they can get their hands on."

I also never said the "insurgents" wheren't killing/executing people. In fact, I acknowledged it in the previous post when you implied I was either excusing or ignoring their crimes the first time.

Those rebels/guerrillas do kill and execute civilians, as well as military personel, and government officials. I doubt it's as indescriminate as you insinuate. And now it's my turn, please post some proof that they have been raping people. I haven't seen proof of mutilation outside of the act of murder or post-mortem, but I wouldn't doubt it since mutilation is a big part of the criminal punishment system of many of the countries over there, like Saudi Arabia.

It's not arrogance, it's fact.

Firstly, the solar activity page you linked to says: "While the established view remains that the sun cannot be responsible for all the climate changes we have seen in the past 50 years or so, this study is certainly significant"

and

"He added, however, that the study also showed that over the past 20 years the number of sunspots had remained roughly constant, while the Earth's temperature had continued to increase."

That's the second time you've provided me with a page that states the exact opposite of your argument!

Secondly, McIntyre and McKitrick NEVER claimed the data were fabricated. They said that the statistical techniques used to analyse the data were incorrect and that erronous data were used. Also, I did a bit of googling on them and came up with this page which has a long rant supporting them, but adds at the bottom:

"I've been in touch with Kevin Hennessy from CSRO Division of Atmospheric Research in Aspendale, Victoria who's preparing a response for the newspapers. He says, "Bob Carter didn't mention the greater body of evidence for global warming documented by the IPCC, paid little attention to flaws identified in the papers by Soon, Baliunas, McIntyre and McKitrick, and failed to alert us of the latest research by Mann and Jones in 2003, which confirms that the 20th Century warming in the Northern Hemisphere is greater than at any time in the past 1800 years."

So, the very guys that you're using as evidence for lack of global warming went on to confirmed it!

Re climate and chaos: no, this is just wrong...and you're confusing climate and weather...and being able to predict the climate would have no implications whatsoever for predicting the stock market, any more than modelling turbulence would...

The truth of the matter is that claims of disease cures from embryonic stem cells are as wildly overblown as every other medical fad.
Wrong.

I can't bear this! I have to wait before I'll be able to play Halo 2 while shuffling the iPod playlist and watching some great movie on DVD and, of course, having a critical business conversation while driving down the freeway. So unfair!

You're probably right, any female genetic instinct can probably be overridden until "it's too late". Too late now being in your 60s:

This woman gave birth at 67, which is way above life expectancy for much of the world.

As for men, our genes would prosper the more children we had raised to sexual maturity. But we could trick other men into raising our children...

The spikes are a little more subdued, but they've got a big solid shell instead of Captain Crimson here's dinky little pretend shell, and honking great strong claws. I watched one can-opener the side of a twenty-litre milk can one day at Hearson's Cove near Dampier.

Despite all of these intimidating features, some maniacs mud-wrestle the damn things for fun.

My point was that the evolutionist agenda is based on the belief in no god , and so is just a religious as the creationist point of view.

The chance of a beneficial genetic mutation is close to zero

Wrong: Evidence

Some people have better genes than others in various ways. Your 'evidence' call this varation a mutation, which it was not. It's just variance within the human species. Mutation involves change outside the scope of what the ancestors had in the past. Couldn't there have been an ancestor with the beneficial traits discussed in the paper?

Evolutionists keep expanding the time frame of events

Evidence?

Well, you got me there. I didn't have evidence. I did a quick Google and the first result reads:

It ultimately proves that the origin of all complex life goes back much further than previously imagined. (abc.net.au)

They dig up fossils of several creatures and decide that there was some sort of evolutionary relationship between them. Why can't there just have existed distinct creatures that may or may not have similar traits, but no ancestorial relationships?

They assume neither and both. The evidence (age, traits etc.etc.) determines one or the other based on previous evidence/conclusions.

I think they have a mountain of previous evidence that is based on prior assumptions of previous evidence concluded from assumptions that .. well, you know where I'm going with this.

Evolutionists have an agenda Based on testable theories. Creationists have no testable theories.

How can they be testable theories? How do you test these theories without going back in time? Evidence?
