You don't have to choose one or another; good acting, direction, plot, and music can be had at high definition as well as low.
As for Alien, it's a post child for the value of quality production; it looks as real and atmospheric at low resolution as it does at high. Even in 1979 cinema cameras and projectors were able to operate at an effective resolution far and above TV or VHS of the day. We really can have it all.
Sorry, why's it a problem? If artificial human-sparked intelligence is the logical replacement for biological evolution of homo sapiens, so be it. Survival of the fittest.
Except that's not what's happening here. It's "I'll sell quantities at a higher price you choose at a fixed margin, but you can't sell via anyone else at a lower price or better margin". That's why it's anti-competitive; the new system they put in place prevents their retail competitors from ever competing on price. To me, that seems entirely unreasonable.
Except for books, parallel importing is actually legal in Australia. Most retailers simply choose not to because it's also legal for distributors to refuse to sell to a retailer who parallel imports. For retailers it's often an all or nothing proposition.
Why should a consumer need to go to a manufacturer's website to determine what that manufacturer actually means when they print what are otherwise common terms on their packaging and advertising? It's entirely reasonable for a consumer to be able to expect that a feature with a common definition in their locale actually means what they think it does in their locale.
Anyway, Australian consumer protection and advertising standards law is pretty clear in this case. If a company chooses to use advertising that sets a particular expectation of a product's capabilities, it's deemed to be false advertising if the product does not meet that expectation. The definition of those expectations is based on what the language mean in in Australia - where the advertising is being done - and nowhere in Australia does Apple's "4G" mean what they say it does. It's a pretty black and white case as far as I can see.
Sounds like your area just needs to fix its timezone, or failing that happening just adjust the locale business hours to something more appropriate to the region.
You spend the required money and/or resources to migrate to a new service to support that business process, and in the process end up with better software and/or process than you previously had. No software can or should exist as-is in perpetuity; change and progress is good for all of us.
There is not a single media organisation in the United States that espouses any kind of opinion that's even remotely "left of center". Your nation has drifted so far to the right you've no perspective left.
At some point the "victim" businesses need to be responsible for the physical and network security of their systems. It's unreasonable to expect banks to have to assume that every connection may or may not be coming from a machine not under the control of their customer.
Why should people in low population density areas be able to expect the same quality of service as those who live in high density areas without fronting up the additional costs caused by where they choose to live?
In fairness, the "admitted liar" bit is a positive to most people I've spoken to. Realistically, most people are of the belief that most politicians are lying on a regular basis to start with; Abbott's stating of that fact was a refreshing dose of reality.
Of course, his political opponents have tried to label him as "Phony Tony" because of it, but from what I can see it simply hasn't worked. Particularly given that it's coming from political opponents who in the eyes of the public have reneged on implementing the lion's share of their own policy platform since gaining power. Calling your opponent a liar when the public sees you as liar isn't exactly a sound strategy for winning political points.
If they're expecting to do business in and derive an income from those nations, they absolutely should be understanding and complying with the laws of those nations. If that income is insufficient to sustain that cost, they're more than welcome to not do business there.
For one, the client handles things a lot better now. You're able to turn off irrelevant brackets, which leads to some massive performance improvements.
As for the server side, in the last week or two since the StacklessIO update went live on their servers, the servers have been able to handle large fleet battles incredibly well. Module lag is all-but nonexistent, even with several hundred per side battles. The problem is now one of memory; the removal of the IO-caused lag bottlenecks has shifted the bottleneck to server memory. Thankfully, that's a bit easier to fix, since the Stackless IO update lets them compile a 64 bit version of the client that can actually use more than 2gb of RAM.
As far as the skill points go, that's not quite the case. What the high SP characters also have is diversity; whilst you may be quite effective in a single type of ship around the 15 mil mark, you'll probably be pretty limited in how many different types of ships you'll be effective in; you might have great skills for a Minmatar Heavy Assault Cruiser, for instance, but you'll lack the weapon skills to be comparatively as useful in a Battleship, or even the HAC of another race. And even at 15 mil, you'll still be less than useful in a Carrier, Command Ship, or any one of a handful of similarly broad-skilled ships. More skill points = more diversity.
No, there's plenty of interaction. Aside from the voice chat, chat channels and the like, inter-player interaction is done through interacting with other people's ships. The point of creating a character is that it gives you a visual identity that goes along with your character name. Beyond that, there's a future expansion planned that will allow interaction of ones' avatar inside of space stations and the like. For now though, as far as game terms go one's ship is their avatar.
Except Windows Vista 64 does run 32-bit software. Please do some research. It just doesn't run 16-bit software, and poorly developed 32-bit apps still have issues in the 64-bit environment. That's why there are separate releases.
In the case of the network the Australian Government is proposing, uptake in areas where FTTN will be installed (ie, most non-remote areas) will be very close to those area's accessibility. The plan is to remove the old telephone system completely from the equation in the majority of areas.

I'd consider opposition of constitutional equal protection to be an extreme view, regardless of who or how many hold it.
Never heard of a steak burger?

That's because it's also a word.

Except it's not a problem; many of those sub-par devices are actually affordable for people who'd otherwise be stuck with an even-worse feature phone.
Your entire argument is dependent upon the assertion that Android tables are "not as good as an iPad". Please elaborate.

Sort of; Bob Hawke was strongly agnostic. Not quite the same thing, but still a far cry from the norm.

The filter hasn't gone through; they shelved it because they weren't going to be able tot get the votes in the senate.

Yep, twas a typo.
