Also, the instrument package being used has been developed at DSTO.
Edinburgh is also home to RAAF's squadron of P3-C Orions, who do a significant proportion of the current coastal surveillance, and may have some knowledge of Australia's requirements for a surveillance platform.
Just to point out that the Parkes facility is not a satellite tracking station. It is an observatory for radio astronomy, and is still the largest in the southern hemisphere.
It is also still used by NASA for receiving data from deep space missions such as Galileo.
The problem with this is whether the mouse is strong enough to pull the cable through, and of course, you have to train the mouse to pull the cable through to the correct locations in the first place.
High school science teacher asked us what was the nearest star. We said the sun. Teacher said the sun wasn't a star.
Still, her lack of science knowledge was offset by the fact she was young, blonde, slim and good looking. I thought it was a pretty good tradeoff at the time.
Uhhh... I think the term you are after is DRP - Disaster Recovery Planning.
ERP does stand for Enterprise Resource Planning. However, ERP is to do with planning resources across an enterprise to maximise the efficient use of those resources in the business process. It typically consists of applications to manage the information in accounting, order processing, distribution, procurement and production processes.
Note - My interpretation of 'top 1%' is the 1% of the population (ie 2.8 million people) with the highest incomes. I am happy to be corrected if it means otherwise.
However, what proportion of the total income does that top 1% really earn? probably more than 23%
Also, how much of the total capital wealth does that 1% control? probably more than 23%
In Australia, it is typically the case that the wealthy pay far less as a proportion of their overall wealth and income than the middle and working classes, mainly by virtue of having greater access to tax minimisation devices and highly paid financial advisors and tax lawyers.
Actually, I don't believe GPL actually says what you state in point 2. The core of the GPL is what you state in point 3.
You only have to share the source code for your modifications with anyone using your modified code. If you are the only person using your modified code, you are not under any obligation (except, perhaps, enlightened self interest) to share those modifications with anyone else.
Plus people would be so busy updating their own weblogs that they wouldn't have time to read anyone elses weblogs, which would defeat the purpose of publishing them on the internet in the first place.
Hmmm. Here is Oz, we manage to get by with dual flush systems with 3ltr/6ltr split. 3ltrs for number ones, 6 ltrs for number twos. Although I must admit that the occasional floater requires an extra 6 ltr flush.
Still, better than the hoover dam quantities used by the traditional US style dunny.

You mean like this? Note this comes from the album 'Red sails in the sunset' by that very fine aussie band Midnight Oil. One of their better albums by the way.
But you are viewing TOS with the benefit of having seen the newer series, so of course it looks like crap. But, assuming you are old enough, can you remember how you felt about it when it was the only decent sci-fi on TV - ie before Blakes 7 and Space 1999 were created - I know I remember it was compulsory viewing, even the re-runs.
1. How can a person hold rights once they are dead? If the language of the copyright clause gives rights to authors and inventors, can they legally hold those rights once they are dead, hence, how can those rights be legally extended past the term of their lives? Corollary - where does it say those rights are transferable to heirs and successors? Why do they have the right or expectation that they should profit from work for which they are not the authors?
2. As others have noted, extending copyright stifles creativity. If I write a blockbuster novel, which makes obscene amounts of money, and will continue to do so for as long as I live, because I (or my agents) hold the exclusive rights to that work, where is my incentive to create new works? cf if I know my income stream will dry up after a limited time, I have incentive to create new works, or get a real job.
3. As others have noted, there is a huge body of work which is no longer obtainable because the holders of the exclusive rights refuse to publish, whereas other interested parties would have incentive to maintain those works if they became public domain. Like open source, if everyone has a chance to have a copy of the source code, so long as it is being used somewhere, even if only one person maintains an interest in it, it will not be lost. This pretty much contradicts the appeal court's argument that works will be preserved by extending copyright. This would only be true if there were commercial reasons for preserving the work. I suspect that works would have a better chance of preservation in the public domain for reasons outlined above.

Maybe he should have put it under the seat in front on him?
In addition, they are going to be doing away with film anyway and will soon be projecting via digital projectors.

Hell no. Whats 250,000,000 people? Drop in the ocean really.
I guess that means the population of the U.S.A doesn't really amount to much either.

Luuucyyyy! You got some 'splainin to do!
And, assuming you have the appropriate skills and equipment, to make your own replacement parts for your own use.
Or, to use the parts that once made up your car to make something completely different.

That's right. They have carefully designed it to run out of fuel just before it hits the ground.
