  1. Re:Not Australia on If Not America, Then Where? · · Score: 1

    Actually i think the law states that if the courts have already removed a child due to abuse or neglect, the authorities are able to remove other siblings from the same house. At that stage the burden of proof is on the parents to prove that they have can provide a safe environment for the children to be raised in.

    In the last year I think we (Australia) have had 5 cases of children dying while in the custody of parents that have already had children removed from the household... you can't tell me that this law isn't a good thing!

    If it's failing in POST, how can you do an OS reinstall?

  3. Re:I've looked at life (and metric) from both side on Mars Deep Space 2 Crash Program · · Score: 1

    Time measurement in space (in any scale, metric or otherwise) is not going to be accurate according to any standard (ie GMT) clock, due to its subjective nature. We all mostly labour under the delusion that Time is an absolute (like mass) because we all live on the same planet (and hence are all about equally distant from its mass, and travelling at the same speed). This probably isn't going to cause too many discrepancies at inter-planet distances/speeds, (appart from causing the odd probe to crash ;) but at interstellar distances/speeds the apparent distortion/dilation would really become noticable.

  4. $30,000 XSL Bounty... on Mozilla M4 is Out · · Score: 1

    > I'm now just hoping someone will develop an XSL system for Mozilla. Seems doubtful though...

    Don't count it...

    " Sun will put up $30,000 for implementations of XSL to be added to the Mozilla.org open source effort, developing the source code to Netscape Communications' Communicator browser. This implementation would be a plug-in that would provide XSL formatting apabilities for the Mozilla browser and would fall under the Mozilla public license."
