That is because anybody who is out and about on a Saturday night is clearly drunk and passed out in Garema Place, or scoffing down some unhealthy slop from Chicken Gormet. Nobody would be around Northbourne Avenue...
Also, the canon noises would be assumed to be Fireworks by the people, and therefore gain no attention, unless for some reason somebody from one of the other states happened to be there.
I agree, though, that Canberra would have been a better place to host APEC. It's designed to host dignitaries, so why doesn't it? Perhaps it's because John Howard himself would rather waste more Taxpayer money and make Sydney Australia's Capital (a clear snub to the Victorian Parliament which hosted the National Government in the early years). I think in future our Prime Minister should be forced to live at the Lodge, or use their own Salary to pay for lodging elsewhere and travel to Canberra instead of getting additional Tax funds to cover those expenses.
I look forward to the Departure of Johnny, and I strongly believe it will be at this election.
I find it very hard to live without communicating with my friends without the net. Considering that I work and study in the Industry I have little choice but to use the 'net. I couldn't live without it because of the nature of both work and study.
I do get out, but that doesn't mean I could go cold turkey off the Internet for 5 months. It's almost impossible. You don't eat 24 hours a day, and you aren't on the net 24 hours a day. When I am not working and studying I am with my wife, which implies that I have been out of my house;D at least enough to get a wife (no, she isn't a[n] [e-]mail order bride.)
Well, Kevin Mitnick mostly got his access through Social Engineering. Tricking people into giving him their passwords. This is still prevalent today, and is arguably the simplest form of Hacking still available to people.
With Kevin they made an example out of him to emphasize the laws about Computer Crime which had up until that point not been tested. With this case, they are pushing well-established laws. The difference being that Kevin Mitnick was implicated in breaking into DEC's Secure Network and Copied their source code or whatever, whereas this is about releasing a Copyrighted movie to the public. The two are not the same and therefore the punishment should never be close to the same.
This is effectively the same thing. If they say "If you want to use the Internet...", (living without the Internet is tough, or was for me when I had to), "... then you have to buy Windows". The only option he has in order to use Windows is to buy it.
For me it'd be a question of "Would you like to eat? Well you can only do it at McDonalds (eugh) and we have to monitor you with Ronald McDietitian's to make sure you aren't getting too many Vitamins". Of course you want/need food. You will be forced to using that which has been allowed.
Well, not being an American I'll have to take your word for that. What I did mean to say was that "He is guilty of copyright infringement" and that was all I was implying. Basically what I meant was "He's guilty, but this is ridiculous".
The guy did steal, he is being punished, and he is confined to home, but they make him purchase Windows? This is what I really find objectionable, how the hell is somebody who is unemployed supposed to purchase Windows? Its an expensive piece of bloatware (I use Windows on some PCs, but that is due to the nature of my work - supporting clients with Windows). If he pirates it so they can install their tracking software then he is going to be in bigger trouble (potentially).
So whats to stop him from dual booting anyway? He goes on the Internet and visits normal sites in Windows, then reboots into Ubuntu and does whatever he wants... Unless they tap his connection at the ISP they wouldn't know, and if they did tap it at the ISP then there would be no need for monitoring tools on his PC.
Sounds entirely retarded to me, not to mention ineffective.
I hope they don't sue me for telling you all that you could Install Sandboxie (or a similar Sandbox program), install the software, print your coupons, rinse, repeat. Oh, Sandboxing programs is against DMCA? Do I not have rights over my PC anymore?
Seriously, governments/lawyers/whomever should be shot for pushing through such retarded laws. Society is crumbling as we introduce counter-productive legislation that destroys peoples rights to their property.
the failure to warn by AOL and Sharman; the failure to block the downloading of such files by AOL;
So they are arguing against Net Neutrality
the improper blocking of alleged (RIAA) warning messages by AOL and Sharman;
And for Net Neutrality
and, the secretive file sharing system of and by Kazaa.
And against Intellectual Property, while this revolves around downloading somebody elses Intellectual Property. Seems like they are mightily confused about something.
That is what DRAC and the like are for. You remote into the card and you can see the system booting. This is somewhat cool when you are wondering why you can't ping the server. This is probably overly expensive for home user systems though (not sure on cost).

Ah, but will the compiler fix the grammar in your comments?
Does that mean that we need an automated grammar checker for our code too?

c) That would be true if Google owned the content. If they claimed to then I think there would be a lot more lawsuits than they have currently.

Why? I always keep tic-tac-toe on standby in case I want to play Nuclear War.
I'd be more worried as to why one would eat a blue dress in the first place...
Great! So now we have to figure out the Origin of the GOD Species... Thanks a lot!

svn:// is good. There are also some custom ones for a chat-game that I hang around in (well, for some of the plugins for the clients that is).
