Umm.. yeah. $10 million a year, until the next government gets in and cancels it. That should, umm, do a lot!
(1) A person who, without reasonable excuse, does not comply with an order given by an officer under this Act commits an offence.
(2) It is not a defence to a charge of an offence under subsection (1) that information required to be given under the order would or may have incriminated the accused.
That's what the seppos call the 5th amendment:)
But kudos for actually looking something up. I can't find anything similar in QLD legislation, but its probably there.
Yeah, ya know, I've heard that a few times, and even repeated it myself but no-one has ever actually shown me the legislation to prove it. I went and looked it up. There's absolutely nothing in the Police Powers Act that says you have to follow police instructions. And "perverting the court of justice" is american tv drivel.
Oh. My. God. You mean they make food out of chemicals? That's bad. That's really bad.
No, but seriously, Eric Schlosser is an uneducated hippie. Oh, but he studied History at Princeton.. woo..
McDonald's fries now come from huge manufacturing plants that can peel, slice, cook, and freeze two million pounds of potatoes a day. [..] A McDonald's french fry is one of countless foods whose flavor is just a component in a complex manufacturing process. The look and the taste of what we eat now are frequently deceiving -- by design.
Dum da dah!!! Yes, that's right folks, McDonald's food is manufactured. That's a dirty word. Only bad, terrible things come out of factories.. like child labor. If food is not made in small quantities by your Mom then it has to be bad for you. It has to be.
Everywhere I looked, I saw famous, widely advertised products sitting on laboratory desks and tables. The beverage lab was full of brightly colored liquids in clear bottles. It comes up with flavors for popular soft drinks, sports drinks, bottled teas, and wine coolers, for all-natural juice drinks, organic soy drinks, beers, and malt liquors. In one pilot kitchen I saw a dapper food technologist, a middle-aged man with an elegant tie beneath his crisp lab coat, carefully preparing a batch of cookies with white frosting and pink-and-white sprinkles. In another pilot kitchen I saw a pizza oven, a grill, a milk-shake machine, and a french fryer identical to those I'd seen at innumerable fast-food restaurants.
That's right folks. Food technologists (scientists!) are responsible for the tastes in all these manufactured foods. They're making stuff taste good.. evil bastards!
It also makes the smells of household products such as deodorant, dishwashing detergent, bath soap, shampoo, furniture polish, and floor wax. All these aromas are made through essentially the same process: the manipulation of volatile chemicals. The basic science behind the scent of your shaving cream is the same as that governing the flavor of your TV dinner.
Yes, he is implying that you're eating deodorant and dishwashing detergent and floor wax. No. He didn't actually say that shaving cream is in your TV dinner, but he wants you to think about it.
A typical artificial strawberry flavor, like the kind found in a Burger King strawberry milk shake, contains the following ingredients: amyl acetate, amyl butyrate, amyl valerate, anethol, anisyl formate, benzyl acetate, benzyl isobutyrate, butyric acid, cinnamyl isobutyrate, cinnamyl valerate, cognac essential oil, diacetyl, dipropyl ketone, ethyl acetate, ethyl amyl ketone, ethyl butyrate, ethyl cinnamate, ethyl heptanoate, ethyl heptylate, ethyl lactate, ethyl methylphenylglycidate, ethyl nitrate, ethyl propionate, ethyl valerate, heliotropin, hydroxyphenyl-2-butanone (10 percent solution in alcohol), a-ionone, isobutyl anthranilate, isobutyl butyrate, lemon essential oil, maltol, 4-methylacetophenone, methyl anthranilate, methyl benzoate, methyl cinnamate, methyl heptine carbonate, methyl naphthyl ketone, methyl salicylate, mint essential oil, neroli essential oil, nerolin, neryl isobutyrate, orris butter, phenethyl alcohol, rose, rum ether, g-undecalactone, vanillin, and solvent.
Scary words!!! Scary words!!! The article doesn't mention that "natural" flavors don't come with lists of ingredients.. you simply don't know what's in them. But here's a hint, if "natural strawberry flavoring" was made from strawberries, they would just list "strawberries" as an ingredient.
THE small and elite group of scientists who create most of the flavor in most of the food now consumed in the United States are called "flavorists." They draw on a number of disciplines in their work: biology, psychology, physiology, and organic chemistry.
These are all things you don't understand, and he used
Yup, keep doing that and one day a police officer will decide that he likes you for the crime and everything you have happily volunteered will be used in court against you.
Their stupid free wifi won't route your packets until a browser from the DHCP leased IP address has clicked "I Agree" on the EULA. Which, ya know, wouldn't be so bad if 1) I was actually using a web browser, I'm not, I just want to get my mail, and 2) the button on the EULA wasn't an image with some unnecessary javascript that doesn't work on my crappy windoze mobile phone.
Oh, I don't doubt it. But the true irony is that the book industry will actually cause these ebook readers to come on the market, cause they know they can make insanely more profits if they can stop the second hand book market, and enforce subscription models, with DRM.
I regularly start sentences with "that's because you're an idiot". If the person I'm talking to lashes out at me, it's just further proof that they are an idiot.
Sorry, it's the way I was brought up. I call em as I see em.
hehe.. you're kidding right? We have the right to say nothing to police also. You're never required to make a statement. About the only difference is that the police can hold you for longer without charge in Australia.
Don't talk to the police! When are people going to get this through their thick heads? There is one question you need to ask the police: "Am I free to go?" and maybe a followup of "Am I being detained?" which is the same question, really. If they say yes to the first, you walk away. If they so no to the second, you walk away! Don't try to justify your actions, you're not required to. Don't try to be smart, or demand your "rights". And don't, under any circumstances, answer any questions.
Personally, I blame all these cop shows on tv. The "interrogation" scenes make for good drama, but only stupid people talk to the police.
Wait until the patents expire. Then anyone will be able to produce the stuff and we'll see some actual product development. It's kinda sad that America has lost the ability to even license technology now.
Hehe.. that's the lamest excuse for the cost of e-book readers that I've ever heard. It's especially sad that most of these devices use e-ink which was meant as a low cost replacement to display technology.

The labor government understands that national debt is the new colonialism.
Just look at the US.
You're missing that it's a government agency.. they'll spend more on the director's travel budget than all the other employee's combined.
riiiight. Cause outsourcing our satellite imaging to the americans is just so much more peaceful than doing it ourselves.
hehe, how do you figure? It's $10m/year.. not $40m/year.
"Research" is generous. They'll do paper studies.
Australia's Space Agency = Ralph
The children are right to laugh at us.
umm.. it's $8.6 million for that, $40 million over 4 years for the Space Agency. Which, frankly, means paper studies and not a lot of them.
Well, to be fair, they're not talking about launch capability, they're talking about satellite development..
But $40 million over 4 years isn't enough to make one sat and have it launched.

Posting on Slashdot aint gunna get you chicks. Explain that!
One day all wifi will be free.
