  1. Re:How about NEW cars? on Musk Lashes Back Over Tesla Fire Controversy · · Score: 0

    70 MPH is faster than you are permitted to travel on any road in Australia, under any circumstances. It is high speed by that definition.

  2. Re:Why? on Music Industry Issues Take Down Notices to 50 Major Lyrics Sites · · Score: 0

    This. I think that the error many are making here is in assuming that those that created the lyrics - i.e. wrote them - own them, or even have the authority to reproduce them, or allow others to reproduce them. They do not.

  3. Re:No there isn't. on Music Industry Issues Take Down Notices to 50 Major Lyrics Sites · · Score: 0

    CEOs sack people mostly, before taking the golden parachute and leaving, typically to rinse and repeat.

  4. Re:America's fear comes from... on Where Does America's Fear Come From? · · Score: 0

    Sadly for the UK the Murdoch press still holds significant sway there, despite the best efforts to curtail their corrupting influence. At least there something is being done, unlike in my country......

  5. Re: Control... on Where Does America's Fear Come From? · · Score: 0

    I have always been impressed with the ability of Europeans to communicate with people in an range of languages. My command of English is passable but the second language as taught in our school system proved to be laughably poor.

  6. Re:Governor Appointed on Nebraska Scientists Refuse To Carry Out Climate Change-Denying Study · · Score: 0

    Further, we would only know the results that they choose to tell us about.

  7. Re:My spider sense in tingling.... on British NHS May Soon No Longer Offer Free Care · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I demand to be asked "What say you?"

  8. Re:world before Snowden and after, - B.S. & A. on Could Snowden Have Been Stopped In 2009? · · Score: 1

    There are no contemporaneous accounts of Jesus at all. None. The earliest documentation of him is generations after he "died".

  9. Re:it's not 1943. on Digital Revolution Will Kill Jobs, Inflame Social Unrest, Says Gartner · · Score: 1

    The problem with this is that your application is among 100 others, 50 of which are from people with experience in hotel reception. Your willingness to take a pay cut notwithstanding, the employers are never going to even look at your resume.

  10. Re:Indoctrination and Propoganda on California Elementary Schools To Test Anti-Piracy Curriculum · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure the historical Jesus would be aghast .......

    Historical Jesus? Which Jesus would that be? [Citation Needed]

  11. Re:Wat? on Stronger Winds Explain Puzzling Growth of Sea Ice In Antarctica · · Score: 1

    Why is climate not "narcissistic" and "egotistical"? When anonymous cowards "discuss" Snowden and Assange they always include these terms - why does climate science miss out?

  12. Re:Not gonna happen on Promising Vaccine Candidate Could Lead To a Definitive Cure For HIV · · Score: 1

    No, just no. There is no evidence for vaccines causing autism and there never was. http://news.nationalgeographic.com.au/news/2013/07/130716-autism-vaccines-mccarthy-view-medicine-science/ The new McCarthyism is as bad as the old.

    What if the kid suddenly decided that the things that their parents told them that lack any evidence are delusional?

  15. Re:People are dumb panicky animals on Social Media Is a New Vector For Mass Psychogenic Illness · · Score: 1

    You say you can't make them think, because they refuse to believe in the same thing as you do, given total absence of evidence. If you bring evidence and if they still don't believe, then you might have something. The fact that you really really want to be believe something means little to some people.

  16. Re:Basic Statistics Deception on Arctic Ice Cap Rebounds From 2012 — But Does That Matter? · · Score: 1

    Anyway this is just a rant, nothing real to see here, move on. Have a nice day.

    Word.

  17. Re:ulterior motives on Using Raspberry Pi and iOS App To Catch Rhino Poachers · · Score: 2

    I really thought that the advent of viagra - i.e. something that actually worked - would take the steam out of the market for rhino horn. It didn't. I don't know how you educate for that.

  18. Re:Australia has elections? on On Eve Of Election, Australia's Conservatives Announce Mandated Filtering Policy · · Score: 1

    We sometimes need to have elections when Rupert Murdoch and/or Gina Rinehart need a new sockpuppet. Abbot is not even going to get up from his knees for the first year of his term.....

  19. Re:Know how you can spot an irrelevant "journalist on Time Reporter "Can't Wait" To Justify Drone Strike On Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    He's charged with sexual assault, period. Hell, even if you disagree with the charges, disagree with the actual charges, but don't spread a bunch of lies that are set up to discredit rape victims.

    You just asked previous poster not to lie about the sexual assault charges. There ARE no charges. He has not been charged with any crime.
