I find the best way is to:
have a usenet subscription...
install sabnzbd+ to download 'news' items
install sickbeard and use it to automatically send new episodes to sabnzbd+
use xbmc running on a low power computer plugged into your tv to watch any new episodes, you can even set sickbeard up to notify xbmc of when an episode has been downloaded
you make the leap from 'sexualised children' to 'child porn' pretty quick... a teen taking a photo of herself in the mirror looking slutty is sexualised and is all over facebook...
Reddit has and will always report child porn and content that they believe is illegal once the users have redflagged it with an admin...
this new policy is about the grey area in the middle, where it isn't porn, but the person is posing in a sexually suggestive manner
people submitting images/browsing/r/preteen_girls creep me out as much as the next guy... but it's not, strictly speaking, pornographic (and it certainly isn't child exploitation if people are simple reposting images that these minors were foolish enough to upload to the internet in the first place)
his suggestion of removing MA15+ will do exactly the opposite of what he wants to do.
all MA15+ games won't automatically be rated at R18+
some will be recategorised as M (suggested for 15+ but not enforced) and from that point on game studios will try to bring their games in under the R18+ radar and get them categorised as M because R18+ games will require photo id (drivers licence or passport) to purchase*
in theory MA15+ games require a student card or some form of valid ID to show the purchasers age, doesn't always happen in practice, but that's for the parent to notice and rip into the staff at the store who sold their child the game* (anecdotal reference: I remember requiring my student id to see MA movies at the theatres when I was 15, sometimes I was asked, sometimes I wasn't)
*this is (naturally) assuming brick and mortar stores are the only way to purchase goods... and that kids don't lie about their age when signing up for a steam account...
there is no indication as to whether or not this applies to sites like Facebook or Renren
noone in China has access to facebook, unless of course they VPN out or have remote access to a machine outside of China. I had to do this while on vacation there in order to use my Facebook and Twitter accounts.
RenRen is monitored by the Chinese govt, so I don't see them having any trouble with this.
how is this different to using gtalk with a microphone?
I've been using it on my n900 to make voice calls to my brother's n900 for a while now... or does google voice allow you to dial a traditional phone number?
no, they can't.
they could track the number of unique seeders at any one time, but with dynamic ip's/vpn's/tor there's no way for knowing for certain how many people are leeching/hosting the files exactly.
also, if I simply grab a copy from a closed network they haven't tracked that.
majority of australians don't complain, they take the "she'll be right" approach and get on with their lives, the ones that do complain vocally are those who try to stay abreast of current issues and what the govt is doing down here atm... which is essentially trying to convert a secular "democracy" into a theocracy http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2006/10/01/1159641213160.html
I know race issues have been in the news down here recently, especially certain ethnic groups claiming that any crime committed against them is a hate crime when in reality a thug is a thug and will rob/bash anyone regardless of racial decent, but I can't say i've seen much open or overt racism... then again, in Perth we have a far more blended culture than the eastern states cities, so i can't really speak for the whole of Aus.
in the context of priating on the high seas you would be correct.
Piracy of software is ONLY illegal if you are distributing said software (thus infringing copyright).
elephant in the room... what if I want to run XP Pro?
my only option if I don't already have a legitimate copy is to pirate it, given that you can no longer purchase it.
(granted I could still buy Vista with downgrade licence... but I don't want to pay for something I will never use)
anyone else see this statement as ironic?
people have as much right to be biggotted as to be gay
just as people have a right to be appalled by bigots and their behaviour
... bout 10 years ago and to me it was the biggest waste of time, it took me two sessions to type out the terms work. being a budget school it was on typewriters too.
how the hell did this fanboyism get modded informative???
cpu: same
memory: same, wait... no... the n900 also uses up to 768Mb virtual memory, and since the 32gb memory is flash memory it should work just as fast as the 256Mb RAM... not to mention that since it's linux it won't be long before somebody out there figures out how to repartition the drives and add some extra swap space.
gpu: same
max internal flash: same, wait... nice use of the words "max INTERNAL flash", the iPhone doesn't have ANY external flash... the n900 has a microSD slot allowing you to expand your storage to 48Gb.
camera: iphone 3gs = 3mp, n900 = 5mp
keyboard: as you metioned there is an actual keyboard, so you can actually tell which damn button you are pressing.
conclusion: the hardware is FAR superior to the iphone

video game classification in Aus is a sick joke.
why pay for 2 data plans when you can just set up a wifi hotspot on your phone?

Disney killed it.
Piracy rates are can be tracked.
no, they can't. they could track the number of unique seeders at any one time, but with dynamic ip's/vpn's/tor there's no way for knowing for certain how many people are leeching/hosting the files exactly. also, if I simply grab a copy from a closed network they haven't tracked that.
still looks much better.

yes, but receiving a copy isn't.

Maori's aren't native. the Mori Ori were native, the Maoris came along and ate all of them along with the rest of the wildlife.
except we need fewer bigots.

mine controls my thoughts 80% of the time, it's fair enough to say that my penis is more sentient than I am.

It means "if you use violence, it will be the last thing you do, and will prove your incompetence to handle the situation
not true. if you shoot first and ask questions later then clearly violence was the second last thing you did.
