  1. What a coincidence on French revolt against Prime Meridian-Sort Of · · Score: 1

    It bemused me when I first looked at this 'Paris Mean Time' that the abbreviation PMT stood out. This may give other an insight into Fances time dillema.

    BTW, will anybody else in the world really take notice of this new meridian? I think not :)

  2. Censorship applies mostly to web content on Can Linux be banned in .au? · · Score: 1

    The bill as I can see so far requires the ABA to classify each web site claimed to be offensive by a person ringing in to their offices. The act does not mention anything about software. Games and software already have classifications on them.

    Linux is avaliable on shelves in stores and on covers of magazines throughout Australia already so there is no need to panic. Although it was good of some to bring up topic..

    This you could consider to be a nice little loophole.


    Cheers

  3. Re:relax on Australia now has Net Censorship · · Score: 1

    I think that would be pretty much the case. Or if the ABA gets so many requests of obscene contents that the pulic servants go out on strike because of work overload.

    It seems that the Government was playing peoples guilt to pass the legislation through parliament. If you didnt agree with legislation then you probably are some wierdass child rapist of which they would then send you to prision with no trial.

    It only take some time till they realise, oh S*@t we cant make this work, or oh, we F*@ked up.

  4. Re:How to have the law overturned on Australia now has Net Censorship · · Score: 1

    Maybe the Politicians will get sick and tired of their own legislation for when they go home, they cannot give themselfs a bang whilst on the internet and writing up more obsucre legislation.
