Then clearly the news of what a ton of people did, will very much trouble you. The site listed in the story, (which is taking some, because they made Slashdot) is not isolated, they are many in a long list of sites, and people, that have tried this.

I think it was cute what Google was trying to do, but let's be honest here, this is not what Google Maps is about, so why advertise it? It was a nice social experiment, the Australians have clearly failed, and the rest of us pay the price by them never announcing it again.

Just earlier today I heard that Global Warming may cause greater terrorism. Now Global Warming caused the death of the dinosaurs? What next? Global Warming causes acne in young women and may trigger that loud rock 'n' roll that all those children nowadays are listening to?

I'm sorry but I think we're starting to reach a tipping point--and I'm not talking about the CO2 tipping point, either. I'm talking about the 'tipping point' where we've cryed wolf so many times in so many ways that the general public goes "oh, yeah, I guess we're screwed" as they go off and buy even bigger SUVs.

This is more widespread than you realize. Aussies have been doing it for a couple of years now. Just the thing for a desert country where it seldom rains:

Interesting you should say that, Check out this from the Australia Sydney Morning Herald. The Australians are looking at this laptop for Aborginals: few employment prospects, alcoholism, sexual abuse, violence, racism. Recently in Australia an Aboriginal man was beaten to death in his prison cell by policemen (the coroner found this!), yet the justice department responsible refused to charge him. These people are as disadvantaged as any third world country, yet...

! In order to produce them for $US150 - the goal is to bring this price down to $US85 by 2010 - ! countries would need to order the laptops in one million unit batches. This poses difficulties ! for countries with smaller population sizes, such as Australia. http://www.smh.com.au/news/laptops--desktops/austr alia-trials-lowcost-laptop/2007/01/12/116810515350 0.html?page=fullpage#contentSwap1

One million laptops at once? Not that many aboriginals in Australia. What about small pacific countries. And while the laptop might have the feel of a charity, the company that makes them won't be doing it for free. At those quantities even on small margin, someone somewhere will be getting rich. The project in principle is a good idea. Lets keep an eye on it to make sure the less fortunate aren't being taken by a ride.

Even during the winter snow is extremely rare in the lowlands (last time it snowed here in Melbourne - at the southeast corner of the mainland - was last year, but the time before that was a couple of decades ago {source]}). During summer, there's generally no snow anywhere. The snow that fell in the mountains is what is generally associated with the middle of winter (in fact, last winter there was next to no snowfall), so after days of heat (around 100F) that allowed the spread of fires so bad that smoke covered pretty much the entire state, the snow was highly strange (if welcome for the firefighters, as it allowed them to be home for Christmas).

Agree that web 2.0 has not made any impact yet on the Internet, but just happen to look at the more trusted corporate environments . Web 2.0 technologies is being used extensively by knowledge management solution vendors like Kanisa (bought over long time market leaders in Service Resolution Management space i.e. Serviceware), now known as Knova software. With companies like Ontoprise and Cerebra raising huge VC funding and projecting web 2.0 as enabling EAI platform it sure has great potential. Not to add that giants like Oracle have integrated Web 2.0 i.e. RDF capabilities and inferencing into Oracle 10g Spatial DB suites. Thus web 2.0 is slowly but surely making inroads into the industry. Not to mention that Google dabbles into Semantic web . visit http://blogs.smh.com.au/mashup/archives//004396.ht ml Web 2.0 technologies would allow automatic creationg of meta-data from existing repositories with no meta-data to a reasonable extent. Not sure how long it would somebody take the untrusted environment of the internet to come up with a commercially viable solutions..... But with such movement in the industry, Web 2.0 is sure to break in into Internet , sooner than later

It is the transmission of lewd material to a minor that is illegal

I don't seem to understand the way the law works in the USA. If I was to go online and pretend to be a slutty and 'ready for a root' 13yo girl(you could make my screen name something like 'RootRat94') am I committing a crime? If someone was to send me a lewd picture(R or X rated) because I am acting like I want a photograph of a penis then who is in the wrong? Are the penalties stiffer based on flaccidity? I believe that rock spider behaviour is abhorrent but I have very serious problems with this being acceptable police behaviour.

I once had a chick ask me if I had any weed. So, I passed her a bud. She wanted to know how much it cost and I told her it was free. Somehow she put two and two together, came up with Pi, concluded I was attempting to trade drugs for sexual favours, and subsequently arrested me.
How can one possibly even attempt to understand the motivations or mental processes of the morons that arrested me that day?. I was being kind, doing someone a favour, and I end up punished for it. The Magistrate threw the case out, admonished the police for wasting his and my time, ordered the return of my herb grinder, and stated that 'sometimes it doesn't pay to be kind to strangers'. When you begin to assume someone being kind is up to no good due to kindness being a modern rarity then society as a whole has taken a turn for the worse.

BTW: I live in South Australia where you need to be in possession of more than 100 grammes before you are considered a dealer/trafficker (of course if you had only 30 grammes but it was in thirty seperate bags then you are going down for dealing). It isn't a crime to grow a plant in your backyard here yet. Unfortunately part of the latest round of FTA negotiations between the US and Australia include us harmonising our drug laws with those of the US. Funny how it isn't the US having to change their backward, fundamentalist inspired, and shareholder friendly laws! Two industries out of the thousands that profit from the prohibition on hemp alone are the paper and cotton industries. If you do just one thing today other than moderate me '-5 Dickhead' make it reading the previous link. It is without doubt(even doubtlessly) an eye opener.

Well, CNN had reported that Nintendo had shipped 2 million Wii units which is double expected if I remember correctly. Reportedly, The Wii is sold out everywhere. I can certainly attest to this fact. I tried 8 different stores in an 1 hour 30 min driving radius and failed at every turn. The closest I got was at my third try. A Toy 'R Us which I stood in line 90 minutes only to have them run out of tickets 5 people ahead of me...I can't find any solid game sales numbers, but the shelves have been pretty bare and Zelda's missing from most online retailers.

Sony's launch in Japan sold 88,400 units but only 0.98 games per machine...

Sony's US launch doesn't appear to have hit the intended 400,000 units. One group estimates a lowly 100,000 while others guess at closer to 150,000 to 200,000 neither of which are more than half the hoped shipping amount. We can safly say that all of them sold, but who knows how many games are being sold?

While the US launch certainly puts Nintendo in a good position this holiday season, the PS3 has the head start in Japan, since the Wii doesn't launch until December 2nd and even then, it'll only be 400,000 units. Personally, I can't wait to hear when the second US shipments start rolling in...

From another story on this titled "The $65,000 question: do you own an iPod?:

"Asher Moses
November 20, 2006 - 11:26AM

Owning an iPod, camera phone or a DVD recorder might be enough to land you in jail or lumbered with a large fine under the Federal Government's proposed new changes to the copyright laws, experts warn.

Dale Clapperton, vice-chairman of the non-profit organisation Electronic Frontiers Australia (EFA) said the changes proposed in the Copyright Amendment Bill 2006 greatly "lower the standard of proof" required to charge someone with copyright infringement.

Professor Brian Fitzgerald, head of the Queensland University of Technology's school of law, agreed. He noted in an article submitted to the Online Opinion journal: "These new provisions have the potential to make everyday Australians in homes and businesses across the country into criminals on a scale that we have not witnessed before."

Senators from both the Labor and Democrat parties have spoken out against the changes, noting that the government is trying to push the long, complex bill through parliament before it's been properly examined.

As the bill currently stands, even if you genuinely didn't know you were breaking the law, you could still be slapped with large fines and even taken to court, Mr Clapperton and Mr Fitzgerald said.

Section 132AL(2) of the bill provides that a person commits an "indictable offence" if they possess "a device, intending it to be used for making an infringing copy of a work or other subject-matter".

This is the most serious offence for an individual technology user, as it means they've intentionally broken copyright law. It is subject to a penalty of five years in jail, a fine of up to $65,000, or both.

The "device" cited could be an iPod, or any other piece of technology that could be used to infringe copyright, such as any MP3 player, a camera phone, a VCR or a DVD recorder.

Under proposed new copyright laws, loading tracks onto a music player, which have been copied from a CD, would be classified as infringing copyright. This would apply even if that CD was legitimately purchased.

Ironically, exceptions in the bill were supposed to legalise copying music from a CD to a device such as an iPod but Kim Weatherall, law lecturer and associate director of the Intellectual Property Research Institute of Australia, said the exceptions were too narrowly drafted.

The exceptions allow users to make one "main copy" of a CD as well as "temporary copies", but the temporary copies must be destroyed at the "first practicable time".

Loading music onto an iPod involves having one copy on the device and another on the computer in iTunes, meaning the user has two main copies in addition to the original CD. This is illegal even if the new bill is passed.

"We are ending up with highly qualified, detailed, legislative language, which is so specific that it fails to work," Mr Weatherall said.

"If it doesn't work on current technology, it won't work in the future, either. In an attempt to get certainty, what we have instead is technology specific, useless exceptions."

But the law doesn't just apply to intentional copyright infringers. Attorney-General Philip Ruddock's bill introduces two new offences - summary and strict liability - making it markedly easier to charge people with a criminal offence for breaking copyright law.

The more serious of the two new offences is the "summary offence", which applies to those who haven't intentionally made infringing copies, but were "negligent" or careless in doing so because they should have known better.

This comes with a penalty of up to two years in jail and-or a $13,200 fine.

But even if they can't prove you were negligent and you genuinely didn't know you were breaking the law, the strict liability provisions mean you could s

It comes supplied with a product key, allowing users to install the operating system on their computers unhindered. A second patch - a separate download, called an "activation crack" - must also be applied. This bypasses the activation process used by Vista to ensure that each installation is legitimate."

The guy repeatedly said he's "not rich". Either that means that he's actually quite well-off, in which case your objection is reasonable, or that like most people who would say something like that without qualification, he's poor, in which case he probably isn't making a lot of money, and that's not true at all. Also, on top of that many charities blow off a very large percentage of your donation in order to support some lardasses who don't actually do anything but warm up chairs, thus blowing away any benefits.

Well, I'm not a biologist but there have been studies which do suggest a biological basis for a homosexuality-overpopulation correlation.

For example here's a study showing that sons with older brothers are more likely to be homosexual.
http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/03/27/10486538 10591.html

"If Blanchard is right, then clearly, as average family size decreases, so will the incidence of male homosexuality."

It certainly makes sense as a "naturally selected" evolutionary outcome. As a geographical region became overpopulated with humans, those families and communities which produced fewer offspring would be less likely to overpopulate or overwork the land. Those communities whose mothers and daughters produced too many offspring would be less likely to survive into the next generation. So, mothers who were more likely to produce homosexual offspring (at least sons) after her firstborn would present an evolutionary advantage, and her genetics would be thereby "selected" in future generations.

Similarly it would be an evolutionary advantage, as a mother, to still produce able-bodied sons to work for the community, but not necessarily to have all those sons procreating all the time.

The fact is that the media moguls control so much of what people do, think and vote here, simply cos we have such a small market with little media diversity. Its so easy for the elite to push an agenda. Australian democracy is on the wane in a BIG way.

But for South Korea, a more immediate danger may be North Korea's artillery.

The capital Seoul, only 60 km (37 miles) south of the heavily fortified Demilitarized Zone that has divided the peninsula since the end of the Korean War in 1953, has long been within range of one of the world's most powerful artillery batteries.

South Korea's Defense Ministry said the North had amassed more than 13,000 pieces of artillery and multiple rocket launchers, much of it aimed at Seoul.

Jane's International Defense Review estimates that if North Korea launched an all-out barrage, it could achieve an initial fire rate of 300,000 to 500,000 shells per hour into the Seoul area -- home to about half the country's 48.5 million people.

The biggest are 170-mm self-propelled artillery guns and 240-mm multiple rocket launchers. It also has hundreds of Scud missiles that could hit any part of South Korea.

"We have reason to believe that the chemical weapons are with the forward artillery units that are targeting Seoul. If we don't get those early, we end up with chemicals on Seoul." North Korea: The War Game

When negotiators were hammering out the 1994 accord - over similar concerns about North Korea's nuclear intentions - Pyongyang also warned that it would turn the South Korean capital of Seoul into a "sea of fire".

SEOUL, South Korea -- In an unusually explicit threat to its neighbor yesterday, North Korea warned that Japan would be immersed in a "nuclear sea of fire" if the United States were to attack the North.

Speaking to the BBC's Mike Thompson in Pyongyang, Mr Ri said his government was becoming increasingly alarmed at signs that Washington planned to send more aircraft carriers, bombers and troops to the region.

He said such actions would mean that the US was either planning to invade the North or launch attacks against it.

In response, he insisted, Pyongyang would not just sit and wait, and might decide to strike first if necessary.

The country currently has a standing army of more than one million soldiers. The US has about 37,000 troops based in South Korea.

What the US did in Iraq was also terrorism. Lying about WMDs and getting into a war that has caused the deaths of 40,000 people is also terrorism. F*ck you.

And don't you f*cking tell me that the war was for democracy. If it was for democracy, why the f*ck is the US in bed with the Saudi monarchy. Why the f*ck did the US make a deal with Ghaddafi? What about Gen. Musharraf?
