That's largely the point - it's illegal to show a car doing any of these things, closed course or not , in an Australian advert. There was a Toyota ad where a family car drove through a city that morphed into a number of safety cones - it was banned along with others for "promoting the wrong behavior". This is part of a larger cultural move in Australia against "young hoons" and includes vehicle confiscation and license bans for minor infractions.
Would you argue that spammers are absolved of responsibility due to their clients? Whilst many might be pushing their own products, there are plenty that consider it part of an advertising initiative for clients. (Often portrayed as a part of a guerrilla marketing strategy - as seen here.) For every greedy client, there must be a litigious lawyer willing to take the case - they might not be solely to blame but they contribute to the problem.
Such a thing is (or at least was) commonly done in Australia. Many ISPs hold membership to their regional internet association, which provides low cost traffic for local transit (through exchanges such as WAIX, PIPE and the academic AARNET). Traditionally ISPs have passed on unmetered access to these networks (not contributing to the established quotas) however this has become uncommon with many ISPs pocketing the savings and counting all the traffic.
Indeed many local pirates were using the networks for file trading under an assumption of protection from prosecution (saving the ISPs from the usual traffic bills) until crack downs shut down the more popular sites.
True, they're price gouging, but only because US ISPs price gouge them (sorry, word document). From the document:
International connectivity costs comprise the transmission link across the Pacific and the cost of access within the US. Under the internet charging arrangements, the non-US entity paid 100% of the transmission link costs to the US because the (peering or transit) agreements applied at the exchange point in the US. This seemed increasingly unfair as the balance of traffic shifted from 10:1 in favour of the US to 70: 301 and a heavy impost on non-US ISPs2 . The price of capacity from Australia was over US$100,000 per Mbps per month around 1993.
The costs have decreased since then but the bill to global ISPs from the US for peering in 2003 was still US$1.3billion. Of course the users get charged when the ISP is getting charged.
It's not authorative but apparently Elena's story is a hoax. According to the linked posting she was 30, not 26 at the time of writing and cannot ride a motorbike. According to the thread she is actually a tourguide with Chernobylinterinform. Sorry for ruining the fantasy.
Not only was the test driver wearing a racing harness - the 4x4 had also been fitted with a complete roll cage, and this is the only thing that stopped the driver being crushed. I've often wondered why a truck license isn't required for commercial vehicles, since they fall under the same section of legislation for vehicle safety.
Further to this, they've carried it out at the time of the G8 summit, when 10000 police officers were diverted from the London area to control protesters at Gleneagle.
What's interesting this time is that it seems that these weren't suicide attacks, and that the bombers have so far escaped to attack again. This parallels the situation in Madrid, where al-Qaeda bombings may have changed the election results.
Certainly the economic damage is just beginning, as stock markets across Europe have taken a dive and the London transport system is offline.
I dont think that setting up honey pot systems could be considered a retaliatory action; its a reasonably defensive measure. Mearly seeing where the attacks are coming from.
Note that this in no way implies that it is legal.:)
The motor could hold the weight of the arm up. It would constantly be burning power, but this would be no different from the manner in which a human arm works.
This is actually becoming quite common in Australia. There are two projects I know of in Western Australia alone. The one Im involved in is the Perth LAN project. (Please be real gentle, the link its on is very slow. Ill see if I can get a mirror up.)
This project is based around spread spectrum WaveLAN cards, running at 11MB/s encrypted. The system is based around Debian routers, though there are a few windows boxes on the network at the moment. A link to tie this network into the internet is underway. (At the moment it relies on a tenuous routing arrangement from a collection of modems.)If you're interested in this please mail at:

It seems like Win4Lin is more a competitor for WINE than VMWare, in that it interacts with windows software at a much higher level. Whilst details are sketchy, the site gives the impression that it doesnt emulate the full hardware.
For instance, the line: The Win4Lin software package consists of a set of server processes, kernel hooks and drivers. These facilities combine to create a tightly integrated environment between Linux and Windows.
gives the impression that it preprocesses the running software to allow it to run.
In fact the key difference between Win4Lin and MAME is that it uses a real copy of Windows to provide the libraries and bugs.

Hmm, assimilate and conquer. Where oh where have I heard that before. But dont worry, its for a better user experience, and it enhances innovation.
However, it could be argued that intuition is merely a way of providing the best possible alternative to the conscious mind from the probabilities processed from the subconscious mind.
Weighing actions and consequences is not a problem; it is based on ratings we have established since childhood. Whilst a machine may not have accomplished this, perhaps we havent really defined the problem; perhaps a machine's understanding of consequences is different from ours.

Perhaps Im way off base on this one, however if any company decides to implement a feature that allows remote shutdown/deletion/uninstallation of the software, wouldnt this just open another doorway for script kiddies. Yet by the same token (although this would definitely violate any new EULA) couldnt a packet filtering system or port blocking system protect against this. Also, wouldnt running the software in a non-native system (for instance under WINE instead of Vanilla Windows) disable some of these services (I dont know if windows update services works under wine, but Im guessing it doesnt:) ).

Or perhaps "Trojan" in likeness to Halo's "Spartan"?

But his crime was faking a sign-off from Christoph Hellwig. Is this the example we want for young kernel programmers?

Actually he's now begging for the Internet to be turned off. It appears he's not the publicity hound he once thought.

Given the cost of Windows, better make that several someones.
It was also posted to Slashdot yesterday. Granted it's not a front page dupe, but it's a blatant grab for attention.
The new Doom likely will require a no less powerful chip than the soon-to-be-released Nvidia GeForce3
Obviously Nvidia is lying, when they claim to have already released this chipset. :)

Im putting together a news summary and a mirror for a bunch of multimedia here. Ill continue to work on it as developments continue.
However, web browsers which comply with the DOM standard have a consistent interface to form objects, and so the JavaScript will work correctly.
This is the kind of thing this campaign is designed to fix. (Though I still have reservations.)
