The extremists on both sides weigh into the debate without any thought for what is best for the students and library users. I don't want my kids at school accessing these kinds of websites etc. I don't even want them to have internet access except for very specific websites (eg britannica is good - wikipedia would be blocked if I had my way). This is because my kids are at school to learn - not stuff around writing blogs. Computers at the library are supposed to be a learning resource not a free access point. If you want free access - find a friend. I support the result of the bill if not the reasons they say they are doing it.
Everyone wants x amount of experience but they want to pay only entry level clerical wages for that experience. In addition only short term contracts are offered with little prospect of extension (to cover funding grants). It's happening today and it's happened 15 years ago when I chose the clerical path and ended up in a comfortable job that is paying more than those round robin funding grants positions. When computer science (and all other sciences for that matter) start requiring highly experienced people for low wages to drive their business models then the market is seriously skewed by government interference of some sort.
I'd want a high res B5 or A4 e-book (not a notebook thats got a flip around screen) so I can set it up wt the long sde vertical and can read wherever I want. I'd want inbuilt bluetooth so can add those notebook accessories if I want to use t as a comuter (20% of the time). I don't want those converted notebooks since they have far too many features to be of use to me 80% of the time. I want to be able to read plans and construction diagrams, large format texts with artwork and be able to view them at a size where I can appreciate them - not on some tiny little screen less than 1/4 of an A4 page.
We have an alternative in Australia, since the Liberals shifted to the right and Labor followed them the Greens have taken over the old Labor parties leftist policies. If we manage to vote a hung parliment with a couple of Democrats (you know that party that used to hold the centre) we may actually get a government that has to work with each other to generate coherent policy for erveryone instead of just their mates that pay for the political advertising. Politicians make used car salesman look like saints when it comes to lying.
to watch the pro and anti nuclear lobbys go at it like cats and dogs. Austrlaia is one of the bigger exporters of Uranium and do you know how many reactors it has? One! Thats right, one. It is used for medical isotope breeding and research. We are happy to export our uranium for you guys to turn into radiactive waste that is almost impossible to dispose of safely. But we aren't prepared to perform such idiocy ourselves. It's quite funny really, all we have to do each time some dickhead politician brings up the prospect of nuclear power is to suggest that the radiactive waste be disposed of in the elctorate of that politician, preferably as close to their home as possible, and the whole issue dies an inglorious death within a day or two.
Or are you just whining for the sake of it. Personally msot linux users are either earning enough money that they should be paying someone else to their tax or are exempt because they have only collected the dole for the last year. Mac users are similar except theya re too clueless to use it or they shoudl be paying someone else to do it if they can't run it in VPC. that leaves the 90+% of the population using windows as being the target market. Good use of the taxpayer dollars I think.
APC Mag is owned by Federal Publications IRRC which is owned by the Kerry Packer group of companies which also owns/controls Channel Nine. Channel Nine attempted to 'corner the internet' in Australia in the early 90's (about 1994-5) from memory in conjunction with Microsoft. This links to the ninemsn domain as they tied themselve together pretty tightly back then. That date first registered is a furphy. This failed miserably as Australians can quite often ignore what their govenment thinks and be considered quite normal.
Emigrate to australia, and when we get enough left wing sane thinking people over here we can 'encourage' the right wingers tho think that US copyright law etc etc is the bees knees to emigrate to the good old USA. At least then we might have a country that thinks logically and with a modicum of common sense.
Why give the benefit of the doubt to the Judge? He's a lawyer too. There is no chance they will get a fair trial, and besides they were targeting lawyers and should get a medal for doing so.
Most probably Vapour Ware, couldn't find a trace of it on any peer to peer filesharing network. I did find heaps of Cherries in interesting positions though, and I am at a loss at how they can be so flexible, but no Cherry operating system.
Go back to dilaup where everyone on your local subnets runs an insecure ME or XP home edition box and then you will really know how sucky internet acces can get - it's almost as back as the old 2400 baud non erro corrected modem days. Though it is still slightly better than teh 300 baud acoustic coupler days.

You better beleive that it does cause sexual incompatibility - with my ex - whenever I wanted sex she had a headache.

Very nice - for more of the same I recommend reading Marin the Robots comments in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and sequels by Douglas Adams
Now all I have to do is grow the tree to bounce the signal off.
