If you're going to see this, there's a couple of things to remember.
That area is largely arid - it can rightfilly be called desert.
AND
It's summer here.
Temperatures in that area can reach 45C to 50C and water is hard to find outside habitation. Even if you do nothing but lay in your tent you WILL need 4 litres of water per day. You have to drink enough so that you piss clear. (Guide: The darker your urine, the more dehydrated you are)
No, coffee, Coke and Pepsi aren't a substitute for water, even though they have water in them.
No, neither is beer, even if it is Cooper's Sparkling Ale.
Glass-plate photographs and slides (Deguerotypes and such) have always produced a better quality image over plastic film images. As well as the size of the image projected onto the plate (as mentioned above) the silver crystals in the emulsion were smaller and denser. These two factors gave us a quality that still hasn't been equalled. <P> IMO, of course.
you're worth more with more experience. right outof school, you have no experience, so obviously you're worth less.
When I went for my last job in Sydney I took 10 years of experience in mainframe operations, tech manual writing, help desk, customer services, software customization, PC repairs, networking, and a Diploma Of Computer Studies. I was told they were looking for someone a bit younger. I was 35 at the time.
Now I build pollution control systems. I'm much happier to be out of an industry like that.
I can't help wondering if I would've got that job if I'd been less experienced.
This content regulation bill has been passed despite everyone who knows what they're talking about saying it was not a Good Thing, because the people who makes laws didn't listen.
Yes, it's a Bad Law. It's restrictive. But what does it do?
Essentially, it makes illegal on the net that which can be freely purchased over the counter of a newsagent.
E-mail is *not* censored, but mail lists *are.* Somebody heard about lists but did not make the connection. ah well.
R-rated material (18+) can only be accessed after an "adult verification procedure", but content not hosted in.au doesn't.
ISPs will be made responsible for all content on their servers, including mail lists but not email. The ABA can act only if a complaint is recieved. They give the ISP 24 hours to remove the offending material or face fines of AU$27,500, and the user faces AU$5,500 fines, PER DAY.
So Aussies will; -Not be able to view Refused for Classification content or X rated content. -Only be able to view Australian based R rated material if it is protected by adult verification procedures. -R rated material from overseas will not require adult verification, thus putting local industry at a distinct disadvantage. -Content will include all web sites and any other content which may be stored or archived. -Email is classed as content and is not excluded. -The ABA will be notifying Internet Providers and Hosters to block or remove content within 24 hours or large fines may be issued. -Children will not be able to access the Interent without the concent of an adult. -Adults must supervise and control children's access to Internet content.
that last one gets me. It renders the law pointless. Who is the law aimed at? Adults?
