I live right next to the tracks in Sydney mate. there is no more than 200 feet between my television set and the first track. I know when every train is going past unless I have music blaring. People know on TS when I am in the back room when a train goes past. So even in my back room it's noisy. If you are closer to the city, Strathfield to North Sydney you won't notice the noise as they have sound barriers (they also don't travel as fast as they do once you get west of Parramatta) and traffic noise to compete with. Even when they coast into the station they make enough noise I can't talk in my front yard, pulling into the station they can quiet off quite a bit due to the noise being bounced away from you by the platform.
There is more than enough talent being trained in Australia, what we lack is a communication and "digital economy" minister that actually knows something about IT. They guy got locked out of his own iphone FFS.
And please don't tie to co-op to one screen. Sometimes my friend goes home, or is too busy to come over after work. We would still like to pick up the game and play over the internet right where we left off.
Severe lack of decent co-op games out there right now.
Antivirus is useless if the user doesn't even know what a file extension is, let alone a friggen.exe. People will click files labelled pop trash.mp3.exe.
The thing about common sense. Common sense simply isn't that common.
"the Infinity I-Kitchen provides the user with unparalleled control over his refrigerator"
I don't know about that. Unparalleled control? How? Already I can open fridge, close fridge, put in and remove stuff from fridge. Oh and set the temperature. That's about how much I wish to care about my fridge.
That just reminded me of this......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQHX-SjgQvQ
I'm sure someone with a phone camera will be filming at just the right time. Even if they aren't filming at the point of the attack there will be plenty of cameras running in short order after. Then people will submit the film to a major media outlet for their fifteen minutes of fame.
The media outlets will play them over and over ad - bloody - nauseum. Plenty of media coverage there, they just want it to be bigger. Either that or there is a vanishing small pool of competent terrorist.
The only Authority figures I recognise are my wife and my own reflection. Anyone else want authority over me better be prepared to do what my wife does or they can fuck right off.
So they made that definition because they are lazy? Hundreds of objects was too hard? Guess know I know why the decided not to become biologists I mean thousands of species! Think of all the work!
How would you prove that the "planet" cleared the neighbourhood and it wasn't cleared by another object that was lost due to other gravitational interactions. You can't! Making that definition of planet completely worthless.
Here's the definition: "The eight planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune." The rest of the definition is noise because they failed to define "clearing the neighborhood".
The problem I have is that Pluto crosses the orbit of Neptune, therefore making Neptune a non planet by the same definition.

They did, only it didn't stop swimming into fishing nets, iIt only raised revenue.
If all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail.

Your dead on about stopping distance.

They guy is clueless and just keeps pushing his censorship agenda. Oh and the useless NBN.

No he wants something that works with the higgledy piggledy layout of NSW roads. Maybe in Denmark your roads make more sense?
If Mosanto is willing to attend mass they can get their flesh metaphorically.
And yes, the Australian government DOES require all cars to have an immobiliser.
My 1982 VH Holden commodore would beg to differ. Maybe you meant all new cars?
Yes, but I still have to pay for it whenever I buy a new computer.
Bullshit, you could buy the component parts and assemble it yourself. "MS Tax" free.
Most men wash their cocks in the morning then they're good for the day!
Considering I don't say things about my wife that would be damaging to our relationship even when she isn't present, go ahead, knock yourself out.
You should still tell them to fuck off because they can say "no" then do it anyway.
They could go all Ballmer instead.
Exactly. I find this kinda fun:

Unless your couple is exhibitionist and likes getting groped in front of strangers by other strangers.
Or maybe this would be a better setting for an X-rated porn that Australia can then confiscate when you go through customs.
Hooray for fascist dictatorships!

I would also recommend anything by Terry Pratchett for the double digit ages.

While conveniently overlooking the fact Neptune hasn't cleared it's orbit of Pluto.
So they changed the definition because it would be hard work to find all those objects? Fucking great science there.
No, if it was "completely dominated by the gravity of Neptune" it would have to be in orbit of Neptune.
