This announcement was made as the producers had admitted it would be impossible to keep the identity of the new Doctor quiet until November.
The real new Doctor will be unveiled at the time of regeneration.
This harks back to a practice among IT companies some years back called (I think) 'transfer pricing'. By charging the local branch of the company a very high cost price, the item could still be sold at a high price with little markup to be taxed in the local jurisdiction.
The same system is in use by some ISPs in the UK and other European countries.
And as far as the list goes, it is actually very conservative in its definition of child pornography, only classifying sites depicting minors under 13, not under 18.
Nothing to do with the Australian Government? You've go to be fucking joking.
Do you think that Interpol asked Telstra and Optus to please start filtering this list of sites?
It was the government who 'requested' the ISP's to start filtering. Interpol just happen to have a list that the Australian Government has decided to use.
Interpol has a lot less power than you seem to think.
A 6ft length of rattan cane will do a good job of enforcing the rules and is much cheaper than any AI.
Plus it can be fun for at least one participant!
>>>The Matrix was a cult movie with a strong plot and some thought-provoking themes
Matrix 2 and 3 had thought-provoking themes too. If you don't believe me, just fast-forward past the action scenes you dislike and focus on the storyline.
It's not just NSW that have banned laser pointers, a laser pointer over 1mw is a banned import into Australia. If you import one, it will be seized by Customs. To legally import one, you must get a firearms license issued by the police in your state of residence.
It's against the law in most states (Queensland seem to be the exception) to be in possession of a laser pointer, of any colour, in a public place.
Lasers were first demonstrated 50 years ago (apparently)
There's an exhibition of holograms on at Macquarie University (Sydney, Australia) but if you're too busy to pop in,

For fucks sake, they are animals, not people. Treat them humanely but not as people. What's next? rats?
As much as we dont like the situation, Tasmania is still part of Australia and technically, not a neighbour.
Imagine my surprise when I moved down to Tasmania from Sydney. I thought I was emigrating.
Pine Gap has been in operation for 25 years and has always been a US listening post. Nothing new here.
25 years as the Joint Defence Facility that is, prior to that it didn't officially exist.

He's ginger.
Site is working OK for me
I want my octopod! And I want it to climb walls.
Historical or not, who is going to pay $15 to look at a bunch on old Apple computers?
It's a pity then, that Tasmania is connected to the rest of the world via a dialup link.
Step 1: Get the Agilent catalogue
Step 2: Buy (at least) one of everything

I bought one of these yesterday!
Nice try, but this has nothing to do with the Australian Government.
Telstra and other ISPs are implementing a blacklist that is managed by Interpol.

Australia has been on the metric system for yonks but McDonalds still sell the Quarter Pounder (unfortunately)

More like 80%.

'Microsoft' and 'parasite' in the same sentence. Who'd have thought we'd ever see that?
The Board of Taxations released a study 12 months ago that stated recovery of GST on single imports below $1000 was not economically viable. http://www.taxboard.gov.au/content/reviews_and_consultations/gst_to_cross_border_transactions/report/gst_cross_border_transactions_report.pdf.
My experience with importing stuff is that Customs clearance is very quick - same day for most postal articles, a bit longer if you're forced to use Fedex, DHL, etc.
Based on the backlash against retailers, I can't see the government taking a chance at pissing off voters.
I hope it goes cheap, the deck is warped.
Hey! he's Australian so that arsewipe thank you very much!
The books were a poor interpretation of a great radio series.
