As for volume, mainly because we still fall below our required intake under the UNHCR and most of our refugees seek political asylum. I'm guessing that the US has more of a "problem" with exceeding their UNHCR quota and economic refugees.
Please bear in mind also that they're not actually illegal arrivals, merely classed that way in the political debate (a point I should have made initially).
FYI, non-Australians... the parent comment is either misguided or more likely an anonymous LNP social media astroturfer. Australia doesn't reach anywhere near the levels that other countries have of illegal immigration mainly because you HAVE to get on a leaky boat to get here illegally (other than visa overstays, which is a much bigger problem which has never had a satisfactory solution here). The government have not 'lost control', just illegal arrivals have increased marginally because the current government doesn't turn them back in their leaky boats and effectively murder them. I'm posting as a non-AC with a long/. history to show that I'm not another astroturfer.
Not to mention that gyms are mostly pointless rip offs. You DO NOT need to go into a special environment to exercise. For some people it helps, sure, but it's not absolutely necessary. You don't need a special machine to exercise your legs, jog on the spot, put a crate down and do step aerobics, do squats. Specialised equipment isn't a necessity and usually is there simply to make you feel like you've got your money's worth.
The biggest cost (and earn, for the publisher at least) is the promotional costs. You can do what you like to publish and distribute, but if no-one knows your album exists it's almost futile.
The cost you're missing is the intangibles like your self respect, your honour, your integrity. You lose all of those things and more if you take money to produce false science.
If this was a physical store, the thought would've never crossed their minds to sue for having similar products on sale in the same section of the store... they might be like Coke and Pepsi and sign exclusivity agreements but no law suit. Is this just a function of it being online and everyone trying to dictate their own model for how things should be done?
Kamens:Ever read The Diamond Age? We give a copy to all interns on their first day. Our long-term sci-fi dream is to remove exactly these obstacles. If we can get one small step closer to The Young Lady's Illustrated Primer (sounds like it would've helped this Jude)...well, that's a dream
Ben Kamens, I already have a lot of respect for what you do... this statement has just given me a HUGE amount more. The Young Lady's Illustrated Primer (in universe) is designed to educate children to question EVERYTHING, to not accept the paradigms presented to you and to challenge authority in an intelligent way. I can only hope that more children get an education like this.
Kamens:Yes. It's not just access to education, it's the ease with which somebody can demonstrate their ability. Ask any developer if they'd sleep better at night having just hired:
A) somebody from a no-name school with an impressive github profile and side projects
B) somebody from an impressive school with no github profile nor side projects
That's the difference between an upwardly mobile startup and an entrenched Fortune 500 run by bean counters. Risk. When you have less to lose, you take a greater gamble. When you have more to lose, you tend to stick to 'proven' methods even if they're not optimal.
You know what saddens me the most? NONE of the music executives/Metallica goons looked at Napster and went, "Holy shit! This is the way of the future, let's investigate this distribution option and adapt it to our own purposes".

You're showing your misogyny by concentrating on physical features instead of policy and character.

I enjoyed this doodle, Buzz Killington.
It is interactive, click on the guide to see an animation, or the door to see Marvin.
That was part of the beauty of his writing. He found humour in the simplification to basics.
By using Google to find it.
that I threw myself at the ground and missed. On the bright side, I now know how to fly.
He was the first one we actually saw a representation of, and the movie was terrible.

While assuming that's the case here is probably harsh, the fact that (s)he started a sentence with a preposition bodes ill.
Oh, and no sarcasm there.

Well, you'd think there would be multiple calls now, wouldn't you?
So why did they still issue the alert, 1.5 hours later?
I sort of agree with you, but to play devil's advocate... what if they were wrong?

Cracked.com ran a photoplasty competition a week ago on 21 web browser features we desperately need, this was number 21 on the list.

Pardon my bluntness, but this is right there in top 5 of most arid, useless discoveries I ever heard about.
I'm sure that there's plenty of geologists and paleo-geologists who will disagree.
I want to make a joke about his name, but I just can't bring myself to take such an easy shot.
Vale Ray Cusick, you gave me nightmares as a kid... respect.
