And yet she is a member of the labor party (note for non-Australians - the correct spelling of the word in Australia would be labour. A different spelling was used for the party name due to reasons you can wikipedia for yourself if you're keen).
The only problem with all of that is that the internet exists now.
Why is all this meat flying around? If it's imperative I have a meeting with someone on the other side of the planet in 6 hours then I'll go home, fall asleep, wake up, and skype them. All at much lower cost than what any aircraft can do.
Current air transport serves the "actually gotta be there" need. The internet serves the "meeting has to happen now" need. Obviously the people who need both of those things present too small a market to make supersonic air transport worthwhile.
There's considerable speculation that Rudd & Co may not care if they can't get support from independents and minor parties.
With the opposition in disarray they may use one of these failed laws as a trigger for a double dissolution election.
If that happens then they may stand to gain more seats and we'll be in the same position we were with the last term of the Howard govt where they have a majority in both houses and can push through whatever nonsense they like.
Or you could just put the cd that came with the motherboard into the computer and let it install the drivers. I'm not entirely certain how the FUD about how difficult it is to install a driver in windows really helps the image of linux. I'm assuming 90% of what you said is a joke but even the remaining 10% is kind of stupid.
You'll be waiting a long time - there is no good argument.
The technology can't support it in any efficient fashion. Proxies will allow people to bypass it. Legal material will get blocked along with illegal material. You know all of that is true. You know that the only argument in favour of any of this is "think of the children."
I voted for Rudd because I didn't want idiots like Abbott getting their personal morals confused with the wants of most Australians. And now it looks like we've swapped one pack of wankers for another.
I always thought that longbows were easily able to penetrate plate armour with the right sort of tips on the arrows. I was under the impression that guns replaced bows because you can train any man to operate a musket in a couple of hours, to train a longbowman properly you have to start from early childhood.
The point that Grossman is full of crap remains the same though.
Grossman's book is interesting but a lot of his points are either speculation or just plain made up. As an example his arguments about why Rome used short swords is one example of pure fiction, his argument about the psychological impact of soldiers wearing helmets is pretty much just him pondering an idea.
When you start to run into things like that you begin to wonder how much other stuff he just made up.
Don't touch the screen with alcohol. I don't know much about macs but a lot of computer screens have some sort of anti-reflective coating and alcohol can damage this.
These would be the same people who destroyed Hexen 2. If I recall correctly the game started off as a swords and sorcery style shooter with some puzzles. Vocal forum goers declared that impossible puzzles were the best part of the first game and so the developers added in a pile of crap designed to make anyone who wasn't prepared to dedicate their life to the game tear their hair out.
Ummm, considering the way that U.S. foreign policy seems to be based on never learning from experience I suspect you may get more benefit from listening to history majors than what you might think.
"A cult would willingly set themselves on fire rather than be arrested."
The FBI admitted to using flammable tear gas. They also admitted to using flash bang grenades which could ignite that gas. The Waco cultists did not burn themselves to death.
Those who care only for themselves, and have no consideration for the world around them, rapidly change their tune when it turns out that they have a genetic condition that will cost more than their savings to treat.
The whole "let everyone take care of themselves" libertarian falls over as soon as you work out that not everybody is created equal in terms of general health.
I was just listening to Radio National (oz public radio station) do a story on this. One of the people interviewed said that China is capable of blocking websites from overseas so maybe something similar should start up in Australia. I find it kind of disturbing that people believe that the great firewall is a rational response to the potential slander of some teachers.
Port Arthur death toll was 35. It is currently the worst shooting of this type. But it's early on and along with the 32 dead there are lots in hospital so this may well get worse.

You aren't shallow - you're overly optimistic.
It doesn't matter if they got Liam Neeson in to do voice work if the script says "bring me 10 wamp rat tails."
My first though for what I would have gotten 14 years back was a quake symbol. And I'd be pretty okay with that today. So yeah, good advice.

How is it that nobody else remembers this?
Been there, done that, it was a crap idea then, it's a crap idea now.
I'm an Australian, and ditto. Standing from the outside looking in, the U.S. health care system is like some sort of horrific joke.

Amen to that.
I argued in court that sexual intercourse and boxing are both legal activities but when I try to combine them it turns into this big drama!

Continuation of the species?

Ummm - I'm pretty sure I said that censorship was a gross over-reaction.

If they'd managed to watch any second season episodes then they'd be justified.

Serenity now.
Insanity later
"What, then, would 33 extra years be worth?"
Extremely little when you're insane.
