    "Unprecedented" means "nobody saw this coming".

    > the government mandates that NBN provides equal internet access to all Australians

    It would appear the author somehow slipped into an almost-parallel dimension and has been to the other Australia.

    So, I would recommend Tai-Pan!, because you can borrow negative money from Elder Brother Wu and end up owning most of Hong-Kong, which is the way real business really works, right?

  7. Actually it's probably be easier to make gold out of technitium, with maybe a pinch of hydrogen just to round out the flavour.

    The camera is not a high-res imaging type, it's a navigation tool, only 1024x1024 pixels. The asteroid looks to be about 32 pixels across in these images

    Why don't you read the article and find out, instead of sitting in the corner being all Negative Nancy?

    Personally, I can imagine situations where a robot being able to stop itself doing whatever it is doing wrong a thousand times faster than the human operator could reach the kill switch might come in handy.

  17. Re:Too much money on Tesla Unveils Dual Motor and Performance Specs For Model 3 · · Score: 1

    Not unusual, especially for vehicles built for the motorsport homologations. There's be the standard model that is aimed at the everyday driver, and the highend versions that are very close to what ends up on the track.

    You can blow a $25,500 Chevy Camaro out to 74,000m, and back when Australia had their own manufacturer, Holden had a $33,690 standard family sedan that blew out to $170,000 in the superV8 homologation.

    There are...

    This study identified 675 stars on the outskirts of the Mily Way galaxy that appear to have come from the inner galaxy.

    In 1997, it was found that in the Virgo cluster of galaxies, there may be over one trillion extragalactic stars, or more than 10% of the total stellar population of the whole cluster.

    And finally...Half the stars in the universe may be intergalactic wanders, which might solve a large part of the dark matter problem.
