Quoting myself here:
"[...]many of Australia's rights are "implied" in the constitution and exist merely through the High Court's "creative" interpretations.
Such as the implied right for Political speech in Australian Captial Television Pty Ltd v. Commonwealth (1992) which was also extended in 1994 in Theophanous v. The Herald And Weekly Times. Australia also took an active role in 1948 when drafting the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.
Unfortunately, many attempts to introduce entrenched Human Rights into the constitution such Lionel Murphy in 1973 and 1985 with the Federal attorney-general have failed before they even reached the stage of a referendum."
They haven't actually blocked anything, big difference having a firewall setup actively filtering content and putting something on some list saying it's 'bad'.
Can we stop saying "virtual telescopes" and start using the proper grown up terms? Interferometry and Aperture Synthesis aren't hard to understand. It's a pet peeve of mine, and slashdotters should be of a level of intelligence that they can understand this stuff.
So in layman's terms, speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out?
Since when was pretty language a prerequisite for self-control? I'd be annoyed too if some idiot was doing the same thing to me as him.
And it will stop the sale to the sorts of people who use them offensively because they don't have a lawful excuse. Only industrial and commercial interests do.
What legitimate reason does an ordinary person have for owning one of these powerful lasers?
The problem with lasers and aircraft is not that it directly 'brings down the aircraft' but it blinds the pilots, and if they can't fly the aircraft, then it isn't going to stay in the air for long.
It's a well know fact lasers can blind so it's not theoretical.
Ordinary personal lasers such as those are not the type being banned, the more powerful classes are the ones being banned unless you have a lawful excuse.

On a side note, Victoria has passed the "Victorian Charter of Rights and Responsibilities" which took effect in the beginning of this year.
By the way, I hate Rudd too and have taken it upon myself to punch anyone who openly admits to voting him in...... my first Summary Hearing for assault is on Tuesday:)
I don't know if this is because of the platform we are running (which I will leave nameless) Well I think your answer is [blank] which is probably caused by [something] which in turn caused [something else] which is the root of your problem. Also I think you should probably migrate to [Untitled product] due to better [features list]
I hope I've helped you as much as you've helped us understand your issue.:)
...surprises still crop up, and we probably can't eliminate them. But Eric Horvitz, head of the Adaptive Systems and Interaction group at Microsoft Research, thinks we can at least minimize them, using a technique he calls "surprise modeling. I can just imagine it now
== MicrosoftSurprise® Alert == Microsoft Surprise has detected that your software is about to crash though there is nothing you can do about it.
This is getting old. Communication through virtual world's is basically just text or voice (or a combination of both) but it receives more scrutiny about everything issue unlike VoIP or IM Applications, which essentially does the same thing minus the "Oooo, pretty graphics and interaction" How long will the phase last? Can we get over it now? If we're going to monitor this may as well monitor email, VoIP and instant messaging.
There are plenty of other intelligence agencies in the world, why not blame them too? There is only so much an organisation can do, hell, they can't even carry guns
Other then the 1973 issue related to Yugoslav consulate bombings (Which wasn't proven anyway) ASIO isn't known for withholding information on threats.
We have the High Court to thank for what protections Australia does have and they've been doing an OK job so far in freedom of political speech which has popped multiple times in the early 90's.

Ironically it may turn out that my comment towards the end was a bit too quick to judge.

This product does something similar, however it's commercial and not open source. http://www.jetico.com/bcrypt8.htm

You mean Rubber-hose cryptanalysis
five tenths of a point
Why not just say half a point?
The cake is a lie

Well obviously but now if they catch someone with one of these laser then can arrest them, they don't just have to catch them in the act.

Doubt it, RIAA is still kicking.
Does the hero or the villain throw the chairs?
The packet was deemed 'inappropriate' by the new government internet censoring system, that's why you never received it :P
That would explain the lack of telemarketers, they have no VoIP connections to enable them to bug me.
