Living in Central Europe, I'm not going to risk it. If I see a sony title I want, that I may not be able rip to mp3 and listen to on my laptop or mp3player, I'm just gonna go find the mp3 on gnutella.
That's my ideal PDA - take pics with the cam, record a few verbal comments, build a webpage with the palmtop, upload the whole thing on the run, then call a friend and ICQ them the URL. Perfect tool for a freelance journalist.

I tried to get it working on the new-user sign up page (where you might actually get someone's password), but the html is parsed out there (good work).

According to the story the only gvt involvment was supplying the electoral roll. In Australia not only is the electoral roll public, electoral enrolment is compulsory.
However since the Australia Card was rejected 10 years ago, there is no crossreferencing of the electoral roll with other gvt records (tax returns or social security or the heavily subsidised healthcare).
Because we have no bill of rights defining our privacy there's a lot of room for abuse here, by both private industry and government (would the department of social security be interested in buying this data from Packer? Probably). And instead of addressing the lack of a bill of rights, we had a referendum on whether to mention aboriginals in the preamble to the constitution.

Any rich countries out there want a web developer?
Judging by the diagram with the story, the pressure sure is *INTENSE* by the time the diamonds stop falling, and shanoyu is right that trying to get machines to the surface would be near impossible.
But that's not the only mining technique we're familiar with, is it? Surely if we produced a significant enough explosion on the surface diamond chunks could be blown into orbit? I reckon you wouldn't even a proper bomb, just drop a lump of enriched uranium, and it will explode under those pressures & temperatures.
I can just imagine the stink the greenies would kick up:( "You're ruining the planets geo-system! We've only got *nine* planets."
I have a marquee screensaver announcing "This computer is protected by NETLOCK. The owner will immediately be informed of any interference with this computer via THE INTERNET" in super-bold red type.
And then I leave it switched on when I'm away. I'm relying on burglars' ignorance, since I don't leave my modem plugged in, but it's worked so far:)

Actually I submitted it in February 2002, and it slipped backward through a wormhole to where you first saw it.

click her e and I get your slash password in my webserver logs (double-url encoded, but I can pull them all out later)
Take a look at the URL of that broken image in the title bar for the trick
Yes this demo works, but I don't want your passwords. Sometimes, I am so 1337 it hurts.

Is this a cheap way to expand your RAM, upload via smell to your own brain?
Better leave the room when you empty your recycle bin. And you don't want to leave those core dumps lying around, they can really stink.
Now I'm really going to avoid cDc. BO get's hardcore nasty.
Smelling search-voyeur is a bit like walking through a dorm... "What on earth was that smell?"
It might save some time when you're trying to pick up on IRC... "You don't smell like a blonde 18/F/Paris"
The banner ads? Hmmm, smells like KFC. Now I'm hungry.
Personally, I love the fresh-leather aroma of a "Your Apache install worked!" page.
But I'll really be looking forward to the olfactory upgrade to Fractint - THAT would be beauty.
Your markup really stinks, you filthy bastard!
It looks to me like Mr McLanahan took the correct third step:
1. Complain to NSI
2. Talk to a lawyer
3. Take it to the media
Guess what 4 is?
(did anyone else get that insanely irritating flashing ad tile on wired? And they say video games make you want to kill!)
This story was on slashdot a month ago.

Add a few rubber plant genes and you have a condom tree. (I thought I saw one of those at the beach once... halfway down a cliff as I recall)
So this is going to make plant-pots redundant, right?
And we'll have cabbages that wrap themselves in cling-wrap?
I'm getting an indoor biro-tree to put next to the phone.

This is conjecture, right? Can anyone actually verify that this is what took place?
It Certainly sounds believable.
