If your significant other walked in front of a window to close it while they were nude or in their underwear and I video taped it? Your significant other had no expectation of privacy because their window was open and I was able to see in.
Unfortunately, where I live this has already been proven to be true, I cant find a cite but a man was charged with indecency because he could be seen from the street standing in his carport naked, the fact that his house was some 100+ metres back from the road and you needed to look through the orchard of Mango trees to do so was (apparently) irrelevant.
The way I read the article the MS VP is in one sentence talking about the desktop, and then talks about the web browser. This FUD about the start button is a straight out attempt to pull the wool over the gov'mints eyes again. Last I looked the 'Start' button was hardcoded into explorer.exe not in iexplore.exe.
Well it seems that the new single will NOT be played on the radio station I volunteer at. If we are not able to make the (leaglly permitted) ethereal recording of the CD and encode it on the the digital playsystem used in the studio, then it wont go to air. Simple as that really.
No air play, no publicity: no publicity, no sales.
Jesus, how often do you guys break records? I mean, I'm sure it can happen, but I've been DJing on and off for 9 years and I've never actually broken a record. Maybe a record coffin is in order.
But the wear rate on the one turntable would be increased, instead of playing each record once per (avg 4) hour show you would be playing the same record for 2 hours straight, it would have to wear out quicker.
Same applies to a lot of computer hardware (monitors, drives, boards, cpus, etc - all made in places far far away from Down Under).
Yeah like Malaysia, Taiwan, China, Singapore and Japan.
If you want to trade anecdotes, how about the case where the murderer on a Long Island Commuter train was able to shoot people at will, and was reloading for the second time, before people realized that he didn't intend to stop?
That would be a good anecdote in support of gun control. Basically, you want to have guns because some guy used one to kill people.
Do you really think Martin Bryant would have successfully murdered so many people if a member of the general community was also carrying his/her hangun in their purse/holster?
Personally I would have returned fire.
And they're just as / moreso fucked up than the two majors, also they're nearly guarunteed to not get voted in, so a vote for them is a defacto vote for the slightly left of center, or slightly less left of center (labour, liberal).
Not so.. If enough voters were to vote [1] Australian Democrats(for example) then they *would* get in, while the two _older_ parties continue the same lie about voting for the alternative parties then they won't get in.
Can you even tell the difference between the labour and liberal party in Australia now?
Some types of weapons also had to be handed it but those people would have kept different types of weapons. There's surprisingly few situations where people need semi automatic machine guns.
Like the ex-vietnam carbine rifle, had to hand that in because it was a military style rifle, and the 22 had to go too, because its magazine could handle more than 3 rounds, and *shock horror* it was a self loader.
Then there is the body armour that recently had to go because only criminals would need to wear body armour hey?
I'm no gun lover by any means, but I do like to have the freedom to make MY OWN choice, and not be subjected to some Big Brother attitude, lets rap the world in cotton wool type government that less than 50% of my fellow Australians voted for.
I still recall the first BBS software I ran, on my Atari ST, it was a single floppy system, fully fidonet capable using Pandora for the BBS and TheBox as fidomailer.
Ive just dug through my old file collection, and from a Fidonews article circa 1996 I found an old software list, but the lameness filters are blocking me posting it.

Douglas Adams died suddenly following a heart attack on the 11th May, 2001.
The Digital Village as a registered company has ceased to exist.
However, as a group of people who loved and worked with Douglas Adams, The Digital
Village will continue for a long time. No-one from TDV can really accept or
believe what has happened yet. Douglas just seemed like he would go on forever.
Our thoughts are with Douglas' family and friends.

Thought I had seen the word 'pedagog' somewhere before, one of my university lecturers explained the differences between teaching children (pedagogic) and adults (androgogic). According to mirriam-webster..
Main Entry: pedagogue
Variant(s): also pedagog/'pe-d&-"gäg/
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English pedagoge, from Middle French, from Latin paedagogus, from Greek paidagOgos, slave who escorted children to school, from paid- ped- + agOgos leader, from agein to lead -- more at AGENT
Date: 14th century
: TEACHER, SCHOOLMASTER; especially : a dull, formal, or pedantic teacher
A cooked and still warm BBQ chook is taxable under the GST, an cooked but now cold chook is not taxable - at what temperature does the chook become cold?
I think you may have this wrong, the cooked whole chook is GST free, the cooked chook that they cut in half for you is subject to GST
Interestingly frozen fried rice is GST free as it is not considered a complete meal.
I think that having to punch your car above the legal speed limit to avoid a collision is a dicey prospect at best. If you're already in a risky situation, adding more speed to the mix would probably hurt at least as often as it helped. Why not learn to reflexively hit the brakes, instead?
Unfortunately thats exactly what one of my old school friends did, mere seconds before the truck t-boned her car, if she had hit the accelerator it would have been a clear miss.
Apples and oranges. Compare head-on at 55 to head-on at 110
No the original poster was comparing apples to apples. A head on at 55 is like hitting a wall at 110, a head on at 110 is like hitting a wall at 220
You probably missed the assumption that was made, a head-on involves two vehicles moving towards each other in opposite direction, hence giving a closing speed.
Anybody else get reminded of the Isaac Asimov story titled 'Sally' (IIRC), about the positronic brain motor vehicles?
It's not suprising this sort of plan would be dreamt up in the UK. This is the country that was responsible for such countries as Australia, New Zealand, USA and possibly Canada becoming settled by caucasians trying to escape the stupidities of british rule.(quick history point) Australia did not have an entirely convict past, such states as South Australia were originally settled by free settlers trying to escape the stupidities of british government
Maybe it's about time the Royal Family get itself re-involved in british politics.
I think some brazilian politian has a buddy who stands to make a crapload off of this
Actually the Brazilian governemnt has quite a good track record when it comes to a national health policy. Their active stance in combatting AIDS is an example the whole world should be investigating. It comes as no suprise that Brazil would attempt to follow the Belize government in getting people on the net.
I hope you never plan on buying any advertising on a radio station, after all what are you buying? Its not real after all, it exiists for only microsoeconds as the vibrations passes tour receiver.

Just think, no more H1B visas (is that what you call them). Would it make it easier for us other Commonwealth residents to move to .CA ??
I guess America isn't a realy democrasy, it's more of a Corpcrasy I think you mean Oligarchy.

But nobody recalls the 'concordski' (not its real name), the russian equivalent that apparently out performed the anglo/french version.
Apparently consipracy theorists state that during an airshow to show it off some military plane was hiding in the clouds and managed to bring it down.
You also forgot to note that the crappy DC-10 was from a US company

fragmentation of existing 30mph urban speed limit into 20mph areas and 10mph home zones.
You're kidding??
Things I can do faster than 10mph:
- Run
- Ride push bike
- Skateboard
- the new scooter things
- Rollerblade
Im sure you get the idea.Anybody else get reminded of the Isaac Asimov story titled 'Sally' (IIRC), about the positronic brain motor vehicles?
