Mod me down but while I think Australians should be able to access the internet and communicate freely I think they should be left alone to work out their own problems. Australia has been under attack for a very long time and you have to bear in mind the US relationship with the Pacific region hasn't exactly been hmmm how shall we say very fair. The US has been happy to triain death squads at the school of americas http://www.soaw.org/ [soaw.org] and fund the over throw of democractically ellected goverments (Chile, Nicuragua, Guatmala most recenly the atempt in Venuzuela and not to mention Syrian and Iran) so you could see the leader ship in Australia might be a little paranoid.

The best internet troll ever. Not long after it was originally posted (back in '01) it appeared here. So many Slashdotters fell for it that the sheer number of comments (mostly bites on the troll) crashed the server.
Deltour's team analysed annual incidence rates of two types of brain tumour -- glioma and meningioma -- among adults aged 20 to 79 from Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden from 1974 to 2003.
Yes. Why not? Most commercial software ships without documentation too. If I want to figure out how to do something on Mac I google for it first. Similarly for Windows. When I was first starting out, Back In The Day (well, mid-90's) I bought "Running Linux" and "Linux in a Nutshell" (which, IIRC, was compiled from man pages) from O'Reilly, and read those rather than using man pages.
Do you? I mean, really, were you that stoned during your high school government class?
putting legislation online at least five days before it's voted on. That's Congress' (Pelosi and Reid) responsibility, not the President's.
allowing congressmen enough time to read legislation rather than ramming it down their throats at 2am. That's Congress' (Pelosi and Reid) responsibility, not the President's.
And ending backroom politics. That's Congress' (Pelosi and Reid) responsibility, not the President's.
get rid of the lobbyists That's Congress' (Pelosi and Reid) responsibility, not the President's.

I use Xcode, and drop them in home/me/localapps on a Mac. On win I use Visual Studio and install them in C:\Users\me\Documents\myapps
I've been on a Mac for a couple years. Been a while since I've done "make configure, make, make install"
Why can't you just install to /usr/$username/bin? They disallow that these days?
Or a Katana.

At which point you're paying for it. Which is fine, but a bit more expensive (approx $600/year) than using B&N's.
Free? Why do you think it (and the Kindle) cost $250? You pay for the internet access when you buy the thing.
That's one of the reasons we have open source licenses. So we can fork if we have to.
Unless it happens during a leap year.
for this. Why didja think they did it over Scandinavia.
I mean, you don't have robots in the amusement park, but you do have Carrie Fisher on coke.

Are they "spending more time with their families" now?
They were fired.
New low for anonymous cowards!
Woo hoo!
Because being a Linux fanboy was too mainstream.
that caused Windows 95 to require a reboot in about the same timeframe.
