I agree with you whole heartily though, many of Australia's rights are "implied" in the constitution and exist merely through the High [Supreme] 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. So really the argument of Australia's intent to protect right could go both ways. Despite what one thinks, there is opportunity for the Australian government to abuse the lack of rights but it hasn't happened.
If they really gave a flying fucking about security they wouldn't allow "Screwdrivers (seven inches or less in length)" in carry-on luggage. Seriously, are these people fucking stupid or what? You think I can't stab someone with a 6 inch screwdriver but I can with an 8 inch? http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/prohibited/permitted-prohibited-items.shtm#7
Also (Video unavailable, it's on a tape and I currently don't have the equipment to digitise it) they wouldn't take scanned and verified checked-in luggage from the X-Ray machine back into the untrusted areas of the airport (shops, the line you wait in to put your baggage through the x-ray machine, ticket desks etc.) on an open trolley, unescorted, before going back into the trusted area and being loaded on to the aircraft.(LAX, Tom Bradly International Terminal within the last week)
Plenty of time and opportunity to steal baggage, or slip something into a bag of your choosing.
Let me guess, they use the camera's to watch the trolley's to ensure this doesn't happen? Why the FUCK are they using trolley's in the first fucking place and not conveyors belts like EVERY other fucking international airport I've been to (South Korea, Paris, Heathrow, Melbourne, Sydney, Frankfurt, Amsterdam) so I'm fairly sure they don't have the initiative to follow them with cameras.
By the way, if you read the marketing posters next to the areas under construction within the Tom Bradly International Terminal, it has nothing to do with security. Just more waiting areas and seats.
If you're stupid enough to deposit money into this 'bank' with ridiculous interest obviously there is risk of you loosing your money I have no sympathy for people who lost money in such ventures.
Banks like Ginko Financial are optional and are not associated with Linden Labs, you don't have to deposit money in them nor do you have to use them.
"Does virtual rape equate the real thing". Are you going to put people in a real prison for it? Are you going to tie up real public resources over what happened in a game? It's insanity.
What does this have anything to do with this topic?
Of course we shouldn't arrest people for that crap, we're not talking about moral or ethical issues. This is an financial one.
The fact is SecondLife is for entertainment and people pay money for that, stop going offtopic with other issues.
Should they be as secure as banks and guarantee the safety of money and property that characters in the world possess? Probably but it'll never happen, too much administration and bureaucracy. They would shutdown the service if that occurred or radically change their business model to suit.
I'm just tired of people's crap about SecondLife when all they appear to know about it is crap they read, experience it properly then I'll respect your opinion.
If this isn't the case then speak up, currently your analogies don't even parallel was occurs in SecondLife.
All I did was take apart your previous post and rebutted, not really much to it other then that.
What didn't you understand? I'll rephrase it
How's this any different from downloading an MP3 of a website or even software?
Your analogies show that you've probably played the game for around 15 minutes and never touched it again.
Since I have time on my hands I'm going to show you why in ridiculous detail.
"Food for your stomach"
You can't eat using the features inbuilt into SecondLife, that's stupid.
"He's got his shoes right there on his USB stick"
Content is stored within the SecondLife service, of course this brings to light a whole new argument of who really owns/controls the 'property'
"If somebody cheats..."
Cheats? How the fuck do you cheat in SecondLife? That's like saying cheating in Flight Simulator, it's totally free-form gameplay controlled by the Linden Labs T.o.S
"There's 3000 dollars in un-collected "GO" money"
I'm gathering you mean Lindens, which equates to around US$15, of course I could be wrong you entire scenario from this point onwards is bizarre.
"Ginko Financial" was not a bank. The fact you can't recognize this means you know shit. The economy started going down hill because Linden Labs finally said they would obey the law and banned in-game gambling.
"Real worlds and virtual worlds don't mix"
Alert the eCommerce sites, eBay better shutdown now. Can't have the virtual world mixing with reality can we?
This is simple scare mongering this article and it's no different to surfing around the web except it's in 3D and you walk around.
Plus you can just turn off video streaming so go take your crap elsewhere.
There has been NO suspected content as of yet to be said to have used the Quicktime Exploit in SecondLife, so no "crime wave" was thwarted.
I'm tired of all the anti-SecondLife crap, it's a game which some people don't like, ok, get over it. Get back to your first fucking life which doesn't involve bagging out some stupid game.
You want to bag out SecondLife? Do it on something with merit like the crap customer service, the crap uptime or pathetic reliability at least that has basis.
No one cares about how many DVDs or hours of music it holds, who needs that crap anyway?
All we care about is how many Libraries of Congress it can hold!

You have no idea how long I waited to try to use that within context

I had an incredible urge to backup every single Tux related file in my possession after hearing Chuck Norris was going after penguin.
why the fck would someone need more then 640Kb of RAM? :)
Or rather, tho$e that created them.

Yes, you can using Linden Labs own exchange to turn US$ to L$ vice versa. Look on their website

Bank in the legal sense. If it's not a legal bank it's not a bank

Yes, thank the god of your choice. There is at least one sane person here...

Their not much better either.
Obviously, but the comment made in defense of the lack of body armor is still valid if you imagine what environment he was working in
'Rumour' has it that the F-111G have already been decommissioned quietly http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?t=295292
Maybe they should be investing in armor which give a soldier a "high degree of agility, stealth and physical endurance" instead.
