If it's rock hard, no DNA etc. Isn't this just speculation? Unfortunately speculation that the masses will take as 'fact' simply because a 'scientist' said it.
While it wouldn't be the first of Sun's projects to go open, maybe they will limit their input into the project and give preference to open source contributions. Maybe take things up again post recession.
You're defending the choice of Australians to remove choice from other Australians?
I'm defending Australians collective right to make laws and regulations to govern our own nation.
All laws remove choice to some degree. Laws against murder for instance seek to restrict violent killing. The regulations regarding classification of games, films and other media may restrict choice at the extreme end of the scale, but also enhance the ability of people to choose what they want to watch or their children to see.
These regulations are an expression of our democracy and are in line with regulations spanning decades.
I guess it never bothered me. I, like a large number of people here, have no desire to buy R18+ games. Who the hell are you to say what should or should not be available in Australia?
We are Australians, not americans. We have our own culture and way of doing things and I, like a great number of Australians, support the ratings system. It is not perfect, but it does serve a role in our nation.
As an Aussie, I can say that I haven't lost any liberty, but I have been informed as to what content games, movies and the like have before any purchase so I can decide for myself what I want to watch or play. Simple.
The question is not whether adults are allowed to buy the games or not. The ratings are there not to restrict games, but to inform adults (including parents) as to what content a game has before they purchase it. Nothing wrong with that.
AFAIK we've never used it on fires as it's not able to produce the necessary rainfall in the middle of summer when there are no real clouds around anyway. Perhaps it could be useful though in making use of any weather change that comes through before clouds move on elsewhere.
Not sure how our laws (Summary Offences Act, Victoria) would affect that also. The Act has one section which makes it an offence to seed clouds without permission - from whom I cannot recall.
We have fires as bad as you in California, in fact some of your firefighters serve over here and vice versa. Maybe it will be used one day if appropriate clouds are in the area.
This IMHO is very true, but the severity of the quake was possibly much higher due to a sudden and full release of fault line tension instead of several lesser releases over time.
The REALLY funny thing about this picture...

Put very simply, host-harvested stem cells are just as good as those from an embryo, are readily available and won't get rejected by the immune system.

The article is however very vaguely worded in the first half and the identification of the hair is also vaguish - 'closest to' etc.

if the guy who made the first post would get a higher penalty?
... how I can forget to eat for a day or so doing web design ... or how nice and straight-forward things are from the command line ...
someone to be close to - network with - someone trusted enough to give administrative privileges in my world...
...someone to add to my own sudoers file ...
Wait a minute... Chicago only!?!?!?!!!

Part of the global warming no doubt...

GloomE I presume you are Australian. I was basically telling the Americans and others here that we'll do what we want on our continent.
Personally I don't think that most Australians regard it as a major issue the way things are and we are quite aware of the state of things.
Seriously though, just because you do it doesn't make it right.
Just one question. Who are you to dictate to us what is right? It is a question of choice that the majority of Australians agree with. Deal with it.
I'll answer that for you. No, your government doesn't let you.
We did elect them and successive governments over decades that have supported the ratings system.
You can read your own conclusions.

Tectonics are complicated, the correct answer is we don't know and probably never will know if the dam made things better or worse.
This is very true. We can only collect the data and try to avoid deaths in the future.

The Goldfish won't remember you for more than 5 minutes anyway...
Hehe. Unintentional I'm sure...
If it is a first past the post system this is a problem. If it is majority rules, then as long as there is enough of a majority.
2% failure rate is a bit much though?
... so we can get the fuel to transport to Earth.
Maybe people are doing most of their reading on online? Spending too much time on /.?

Voila
The real question is, does the word umlaut itself contain umlaut(s) over one or both u's? That would be sweet.
Neither...
