The enwave tunnels were being extended even as late as mid last year (I'm assuming it's either finished, or close to it).
I managed to get in and pay them a visit while construction was stopped for the winter. It was a fascinating peek into their system - the tunnels are placed in overlapping crosses from as far North as Bay and Elizabeth, as far south as Lakeside. I assume the cross pattern is to give as much coverage as possible.
The 'active ingredient' is the melanin in hair. The catch is, this degrades over the period of a few months, not a few years. This is the reason why the price can be so low - there's a hidden 'cost' in lifespan.
As someone familiar with drains in general, and those in Australia, and Adelaide, I can tell you don't have much experience / knowledge about them.
Firstly, drains in Australia are stormwater drains - there are no mixed services - that is, there's no sewerage. Drains aren't mapped out like labyrinths, either. Typically (espeically in South Australia) - are point A to point B affairs - the main conduit will be significantly larger than side pipes.
And yes, whilst the theory of 'if they got in, they can get out' seems logical - ever remember getting stuck up a tree as a kid?
I personally know of an accomplished 'drainer' / climber who got stuck in a junction in a South Australian drain, and who had to also call for help.
Nice to know you were secretly gunning for their death, incidentally. I'm sure you were a very gifted child, that never did anything silly.
It technically is the case - FB has very strict regulations about what you can and can't keep, and for how long. Essentially, any personal information outside of a user's username is 'illegal' to keep for more than 24 hours.
This includes name, birthday, relationships (friends, friends of friends, etc), photos, posts, updates, etc. This also covers your app pulling that information and prefilling forms with it.
However, it's obviously impossible to police all of this: if you as a viewer can see information, then the app w/ similar permissions can see it too.
The legality of something never prevents people from partaking in it.
Honestly, if the reason you avoid doing something is because it's forbidden / you don't want to be caught, you've got some maturing to do.
I'd love to link to the Wikipedia article, but essentially, children display a few levels of maturity: #1 - They don't do something because they'll be punished #2 - They don't do something because they're told they shouldn't #3 - They don't do something because they believe it is wrong.
Honestly, without being judgemental, it sounds like you're still on the first step, which is both a little scary and sad.
I'm fairly sure you're uninformed about what you're 'reporting'. Why's that? I've been living in France, illegally, for the last two years, with absolutely no issue.
Each time I pass border control, I'm stamped in and out. On top of my 'visa denied' stamp.
Hell, I was in the prefecture and they didn't care.
With that said, despite being a member of the commonwealth, etc, getting into the US is always an effort, even with an APEC travel card.
Being australian, and being part of the (very muchly mostly useless) mesh network project in AU, here's my thoughts:
#1- Australian landscape (mountains, bush, vast distances) isn't compatible with mesh networks. #2 - You need to get the connection to the internet at some stage.
I've got to say, you're missing the point (..perhaps in a broader scope, too)
You're basing your entire argument off a third-party definition of a fairly broadly used word.
What you're also doing is completely ignoring the issue at hand, instead diverting attention to syntax.
I'm sure there are people who believe in Intelligent Design that don't spam websites. Just because someone has similar beliefs in one domain of their life doesn't mean you a obligated to defend them when they do something stupid - it's called 'Individualism' and 'Free Will'..
What's astounding? Is it astounding that people keep personal files on their computers? Is it astounding that when they pay for a service, they expect just that to be done?
The fact that they 'hid' something would indicate they'd prefer not to have it found.
Do you rifle through the underwear drawers of your friends when they hold parties?
Deezer is seconded. It's setup / owned by Free.fr (big ISP here) - runs very smoothly, and is at a high quality. It's genre / song matching / similar artists radio is fantastic - always plays something I'd like to hear.
It's got nothing to do with natural cures, and everything to do with the fact that whale is tasty. This will be no doubt marked as flamebait - but I'm just saying.. having been there, it's all about eating whales because they're tasty, not because they're magical.
Not much needs to be remastered - they already had a full orchestra (soundtrack is downloadable, and simply wonderful) The graphics are still goregous.
Something else set in this universe however, would be amazing.
I can already hear the clickity-tap of Manny's shoes on the cobbles!:D
Works wonders this. I live in france, so have a french (azerty) keyboard, which is mapped to qwerty. Unless you can touch / blind type, you're in trouble - the instant you look down at it, you start to type all over the place.
If you ever happen to stroll around in sewers (it's not as terrible as it seems) - you'll find these little 'white mice' have a habit of all congregating in one place, due to their similar buoyancy properties, I imagine.
Under London, in the famous River Fleet sewer, there's a little side-tunnel named 'Tampon Alley', for a very good reason.
On the flip side, I'm an urban explorer that spends my time trudging through sewers for fun. Normally, they're not so bad, as sewerage is more grey water than anything else - it normally has an interesting smell of detergent, shampoo, and an undercurrent of poo.
However, if you're walking through a low-flow section, or a poorly made section (where it dams), or any backed up sections, and happen to stir up the sediment, you need to get out of there fast - no only does it stink, but the noxious gases hit fatal within minutes.
And you're absolutely right: grease in sewers is disgusting. It soaks up every horrid smell, every putrid tidbit, clings to the walls, and, even worse, makes everything super slippery - the last thing you want when you're knee-deep in a torrent of shit.
He's probably loving it. In France, if you get fired, legally you're entitled to 80% of your wage for 2 years, paid by your employer. There are thousands of civil servants that hope that each day they'll be sacked, so they can kick back and have a 2 year holiday.
Where in Paris was he? I gotta go crash his party!

Slightly offtopic, but still geeky.

For the intruiged, here are a few snaps.

Now we can just use youtube!

I did say the list was for maturity levels in children ;)

Congratulations, your post made absolutely no sense.
I'm serious. It's like 158 words of pure nonsense.

Australia + UK both offer these.

You email them, you make them a reasonable offer, a little below what you're prepared to spend, and you go from there.
If they don't reply, or want a stupid amount - you've not lost anything.

This is, without a doubt, the greatest game of all time.
The graphics, the soundtrack, the story. Simply - amazing.

It's fantastic - noone wants to ever use it ;)
Tell me why you'd possibly need 32 style tags in a HTML document?
