(i.) Is under any acknowledgement of allegiance, obedience, or adherence to a foreign power, or is a subject or a citizen or entitled to the rights or privileges of a subject or citizen of a foreign power: or
(ii.) Is attainted of treason, or has been convicted and is under sentence, or subject to be sentenced, for any offence punishable under the law of the Commonwealth or of a State by imprisonment for one year or longer: or
(iii.) Is an undischarged bankrupt or insolvent: or
(iv.) Holds any office of profit under the Crown, or any pension payable during the pleasure of the Crown out of any of the revenues of the Commonwealth: or
(v.) Has any direct or indirect pecuniary interest in any agreement with the Public Service of the Commonwealth otherwise than as a member and in common with the other members of an incorporated company consisting of more than twenty-five persons:

^^^^^ Consider this a blueprint on how to legally force Conroy out of his job.
The issue is hes being belligerent about it. This is one of the many things used to pry apart his arguments and ideas, and yet he still pushes his point. Much to the dismay of the populace.
And this is exactly why i voted for the Australian Sex Party. I dont want any of this filter crap.
Problem is its a de-facto 2 party tyranny over her in Australia. One party has a nut bag in charge, the other a nut bag in a senior position causing a major problem.
Being a space exploration fan. I'm surprised I haven't seen that site before. Thanks for the link. [ Already knew about the photos though. But his new versions are nice. ]
See thats what I'm wondering. All this talk of SiC is hardly making me wonder how they missed the obvious details like these. Unless they thought they were too boring to mention. In which case they arent pandering to their audience... science nerds love that stuff.
Subjective things should never have been brought into this. Such subjective nonsense is what leads to teenagers old enough to have sex getting prosecuted for having photos of themselves on their own phone.
It's likely more difficult than you would think to develop an appreciable layer of molten slag sufficient to render a region of arable land useless.
From a cursory check, it would seem that the amount of energy the ground absorbs when heating to sufficient temperature that it can vitrify, results in an area significantly smaller than the overall blast radius, where this layer would be deep enough to require more than a shovel to get at soil beneath.
Unfortunately its hard to confirm this with either evidence or math, as the interplay of fluid molten silica, sand/soil, and the blast wave, is rather complex, and most of the evidence/study on this effect would be covered under the veil of nuclear secrecy. still draped over most of the results of the nuclear weapons testing program. Not to mention how few of the tests detonated the weapons at ground level as would be necessary for maximizing the area of vitrification.
With regards to point 3. Forcing Conroy to resign would not take such a heinous act. As little as a 1 year sentence would force his resignation.
I refer you to the 'Commonwealth Of Australia Constitution Act' Chapter 1, Part IV, 44 (ii). "Is attainted of treason, or has been convicted and is under sentence, or subject to be sentenced, for any offence punishable under the law of the Commonwealth or of a State by imprisonment for one year or longer"
And personally I think people would have much better luck getting rid of him with this part. Chapter 1, Part 44 (iii) "Is an undischarged bankrupt or insolvent"
Close. But the design constraint isn't that phone numbers must remain relevant. Its that age old chestnut that gave birth to the Phonetic Alphabet. You are much easier able to distinguish the 10 numbers (this is true in most languages, this isn't just an english & hindu-arabic numeral centric fact) when conversing with just audio. Radio Operators, Phone users, pretty much everyone at some point has had to start going "Oscar Bravo Sierra..." while trying to make themselves understood.
The system isn't indented to make phone numbers some magic new single ID, its to make them a part of the DNS concept of easily resolvable & related addressing. It just means i can say phone me@example.com or phone +1 234 456 678 and both end up reaching the same place. Its about more options & flexibility.
I would rather see a company use BSD code and publish their changes. Open Source + Proof of Company not being just a money hungry leech on society (in at least a tiny way)
With the lovely additions in version 3 of the GPL licence/sarcasm
You have to provide the source code to any open source software (using GPLv3) that you use to provide a network service (eg: a custom web server).
Now whats interesting is that there was already a GPL licence for placing this kind of requirement on your code. The "Affero General Public License" had provisions in it to require this sort of thing. Did it get used a lot, Nope. For obvious reasons, its a bloody scary licence for anyone in the Open Source friendly world of Web2.0
There was a point to GPLv3, the hardware related additions were fine, but basically bundling the Affero GPL licence in with it, seems like a disruptive move. Kind of akin to the old "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" except the Extinguish part refers to a whole different kind of Extinction.
Makes me glad Linus told them where they could stick the GPLv3 with regards to the Kernel (Proverbially speaking of course)
Well said. There are 2 luddites causing major international damage to australia as a tech using country. And both need to go.
Out with Conroy, and out with Atkinson.
(If only it were legally possible to exploit the fact that bankruptcy forces a federal MP to quit, they are legally unable to hold a seat if bankrupt, then we could get rid of Conroy and be half way to fixing this mess)
Well it might not work. Since the search engine spiders being used to crawl the sites would have to be behind the blocking firewall/censorship in order to be affected & index the block pages. Outside that protective umbrella, it would just see the content like normal.
They made smiling an offense after 2001, hell they order us to not smile when they take the ID photos these days, last 3 times I've had one taken for any reason its been "don't smile"
This of course assumes that OpenCL is able to make a foothold and has support from the hardware and gets some software that really shows the improvements that other developers can get using it.
Without those it wont have enough traction/mindshare.

If only it were easy to bankrupt him.
The issue is hes being belligerent about it. This is one of the many things used to pry apart his arguments and ideas, and yet he still pushes his point.
Much to the dismay of the populace.
I'm pretty sure you cant host child porn in the USA & hide behind the 1st amendment.
And this is exactly why i voted for the Australian Sex Party.

True... so thank god the Chasers were drumming up those ratings and shoving it to Conroy and the other nut bags.

Its stories like this that make me laugh.
Scientology cries 'harassment' so often the cops are fed up, seems like only their lawyers care anymore.
Subjective things should never have been brought into this.

The 'cloud' part is just talking about how nebulous their naming logic is.

I would... if they didnt have the batshit insane agenda item of "removing tax exempt status for religions".

That has a certain ring to it... "Franklining"

3 : the depiction of acts in a sensational manner so as to arouse a quick intense emotional reaction
By this i suppose that technically a significant proportion of modern news is in fact pornography.
Well it might not work. Since the search engine spiders being used to crawl the sites would have to be behind the blocking firewall/censorship in order to be affected & index the block pages. Outside that protective umbrella, it would just see the content like normal.
In certain circles where greater accuracy is required its common to use a finer precision in the jump from Freezing to Ridiculously Cold.
This is done by having Bloody Freezing and F*****ing Freezing as additional points on the scale.

Is called HTML email & Javascript.

And thats probably not the only one. The early 90s had lots of obscure shareware type software.
