Australia is worth looking at because of the immense amount of unoccupied land in that country.
Yes, but Australia, the country, is entirely contiguous with the continent. I can't imagine us (now or in the future) being very receptive to the idea of another country buying their way onto the continent and having to set up borders etc.
Besides, who'd want to move from a tropical archipelago to - let's face it - a desert? Sri Lanka is a much more likely candidate.
One of the biggest advantages of a command-line interface is that you can pipe programs together and create a workflow. You can't do that with this since it's just a command-line imitation in a web browser. So no neat things like piping the images from an imagesearch. Secondly, a mouse is still going to be required when you browse to one of the sites returned in the search, so this interface is only useful while you're actually searching.
What is this, the 'tips n tricks' column of a newspaper's IT section?
The fix, which requires a little boolean creativity, great for anyone not afraid of taking risks.
Not afraid of taking risks? It's about:config, not instructions for making a Linux-powered flamethrower, which I think would be a much better article for Slashdot.
The name "power grip" makes me wonder if these arms could be stronger than human ones. I don't see any reason why not. Does this mean that when an amputee receives one of these arms, he could do things that a normal human couldn't? Bionic arm recipients might become highly sought-after in the construction industry.
That last link is to a different project: Bussard's Polywell fusor. That one is scientifically sound and is currently the most hopeful method of energy-positive fusion. Bussard built several working models before he died earlier this year.

The government has a problem giving information to the people, so it decides to use XML... now it has two problems.
They're only low-cost because they aren't paying the inventors for their work.
But sometimes a government mandate is required to make big changes.
Wouldn't it make sense to use K?
As a rule, Latin is used for numbers less than 1. Greek is used for numbers greater than 1.
1000 = kilo (greek)
1/1000 = milli (latin)
10 = deca (greek)
1/10 = deci (latin)
'The significance of this case is that it shows that what you post is not harmless, but has consequences'
If people are only just realising that now, then the world is in more trouble than I thought.
No one is taking your cars away just like no one took your horses away, yet you don't see horses on the road any more.
It feels great to be an Australian.
Not in all jurisdictions.
But in any case, that's not what he's being jailed for. He's in contempt for denying a court order.

It's cool, but really only as a novelty.

Performance fees for dance music in Australian nightclubs are changing from $0.07/patron to $1.05/patron, a 1500% increase!
How, exactly? Charity does not save you money, tax deductions or not.
'Mind Gaming' will be this year's vaporware buzzword.
I hear Halliburton has already won the tender.
They all closed here years ago. I think Playstation was blamed at the time, though many probably closed earlier and blamed the Genesis.

Yes, I'm sure the ethic committee is bound to dig up some interesting things.
The US version looks way more realistic.
I think a low-clearance bridge across the road would be pretty effective.
I predict that 50% of the comments here will be thinly-veiled racial attacks on Russia.
The other 50% will be "in soviet russia" jokes, of course...
Where's the Monty Python foot icon? This has to be a joke.

Surely you are skidding! I think this is a very bald move on their part.
