Australia's censorship is awful but at least it's proposed to be a blacklist not a whitelist.
... at first. What happens when they find out blacklists don't work?

Thats a disgrace. For zero dollars I can go see a REAL GP.
Where do you live that still bulk-bills? (ie Medicare pays all). Around here that only applies to low-income families. or children. I guess a $20 gap payment is not too bad. Discourages time-wasters without stopping anyone who really needs to see a doctor, I hope.
And don't say "Great" Britain. The country is Britain (short for UK of GB & NI). GB is a geographical term referring to the largest (greatest) of the British isles. It is so cringe-worthy to hear politicians like GWB stressing "Great" as if it were a compliment.
The Iraqi WMD programs were all dismantled after the war in 1991. There was nothing secret about it. (This was the war that followed Iraq'a invasion of Kuwait.)
The US claimed that Iraq had resumed those programs, in violation of the ceasefire, as justification for the 2003 invasion. The US gov't also claimed to have proof of this, which turned out to be a lie.
with a motorcycle out there...but at least with that, you have the speed/acceleration and nimbleness to get yourself outta harms way
I hear that often. But the statistics say otherwise. It depends on location, and how well you control for other variables, but while a bicycle is not as safe as a car, a motorcycle is an order of magnitude more dangerous. And the bigger and faster, the greater the risk of death or serious injury.
Its true that people feel safer on a motorbike, and perhaps that is part of the problem? But mostly its about speed when you fall off, and reduced reaction time.
And when you consider that diabetes and heart disease are far more likely to kill you that traffic, the cyclist is safer in the long run than the car driver.
I'd like to quote long-term stat's for health of riders of high-powered motorcycles, but too few survive to provide sufficient data.
And no bluetooth! With bluetooth, it could have been an easy mobile web-book, using your 3G phone for internet, as the Nokia Internet Tablets do. Apple deliberately left that out of the iPod touch, because they also sold an iPhone. (And US phone networks restrict that kind of thing.) But why would these guys leave it out?
Why should our good men and (and a few women) have to die to 'help' these people?
They have oil, and lots of it. As do their neighbours. You seriously have not heard? There is no other reason. The US alone uses something like 20 million barrels a day and rising, while production is well under half that and falling. That's a billion dollars per day, and set to rise dramatically as production fails to rise with global demand.
In Australia when the iPod was released there was no legal way to get popular music for it. There was no iTunes or equivalent here, and it was illegal to copy your own CD collection. Yet iPod and other mp3 players sold like hotcakes. Just like copying your CD to tape to play in the car was illegal. Time-shift recording on your VCR was illegal. But nobody gave a damn. The laws have changed a little since, but since thy were never enforced, few people noticed.
So frankly, and sadly, I don't see the Pirate party getting much attention.
Iraq were never military threats, but Iran IS and some people don't recognize it. Just because they're brown doesn't mean they're weak and undisciplined.
How much has changed since the Iran/Iraq stalemate?
You can still produce sparking wine in the Napa Valley, but you can't claim it came from the Champagne region.
You can't even call it Champagne without the EU/French threatening trade restrictions. Australia gave in and stopped using the word, though we still have local Port wine. That is just as ridiculous. There is no legitimate basis for a trademark claim on Champagne. What next? Will the Germans insist that all hamburgers must come from Hamburg? So McDonalds will be forced to sell "American minced animal parts" instead? Must our Danish pastries now be imported from Denmark? And will Tarantino be forced to film all his Mexican Standoffs in Mexico?
I would have thought I always look before stepping on the road, but the truth is that on a quiet road people often look over their shoulder _after_ stepping on the road.
I notice this when cycling. Especially of the footpath is narrow or crowded, and traffic is thin and slow. You learn not to ride too close to the kerb, and use your bell because people frequently step onto the road before looking properly.
Sure they look before crossing the middle, but there seems to be an unconscious assumption that if they hear nothing, then nothing is close.
And if you have ever been to a city where heavy electric scooters are common (Asia), you'll know what a menace they can be on the footpaths! I don't think any of this applies at highway speed though. Nobody steps onto a 60m/100kph road without a damned good look.

This meat is from a artificial "muscle" that has never received any kind of exercise or strengthened itself.
You could say the same about American grain-fed beef.
Post it to the internet with a headline of "Nude Pictures of Brittany Spears!! (Linux only)."
Brittany who? Surely you mean Sarah Michelle Gellar or Natalie Portman?
Don't call it 'merry old England'.
And don't say "Great" Britain. The country is Britain (short for UK of GB & NI).

those museums are all excellent, but for a true UK geek experience you should try Trainspotting
He was wrong about "whom" and he used the phrase "begs the question" wrongly too. Or didn't you notice?
And you failed to say "woosh!!!",so -2 geek points.

Please down mod the parent. People do not get down modded because others disagree with them. There is no -1 I think this guys beliefs are a crock.
I agree, but actually, the negative mods were for "overrated", which means they disagreed with the "+1 interesting" mods. Thats valid, is it not?

On the plus side, these devices would have been just as effective at locating Saddam's WMDs as any other detectors.
they shouldn't be allowed to have the bomb.
Hmm ... you do realise that's Iraq with a Q, not with an N? The country with the nuclear weapons^Wpower program is next door.
Or blow it all on booze, coke and hookers !
You forgot the blackjack.
I was expecting it to be called the Eee-1. But EEE-niac would have been cool too.

Isn't "the intrepid RV'er" an oxymoron?
A caravan is a piece of shit minivan made by Dodge.
Speaking of which, what exactly is "mini" about a minivan? Around here, a van is a car-sized enclosed cargo vehicle.
