well, i've lived in regional australia for 25 years and i've also traveled the southern states.
your entire post is full of 1/2 truths.
The cronulla riots were triggered by long standing tensions caused by gangs of australian born lebanese attacking people on cronulla beach. the outbreak of violence was sparked by a 13 yo life saver (life savers are an icon here in oz) being brutally bashed by such a gang for telling them to stop harrasing a female swimmer. just like your rodney king riots.
the baby over board saga, that was blown out of all proportion by all involved. i wouldn't be throwing stones about illegal immagration if i was you with your countries stance on their southern boarder....
you'll need to back up your claim about police treating aboriginal deaths the same as animal deaths. i've lived here my whole life and never heard such a claim.
while i traveled the south i came across the most intollerent gits i've ever met. while i agree that australia is a fairly conservative country, compared to the USA they look like left wing hippies. the impression i got from america is that people like to think they are all freedom loving and open minded, when really they just want THEIR kind of freedom.
I suggest we drop by the house of everyone that doesn't understand IF YOU DONT LIKE IT DON'T WATCH/READ/LISTEN TO IT, and slap them in the side of the head.
I don't believe retarded notions such as "offical" keepers of fictional characters eg. tolkien, should be pandered to or encourged.
this idea that the author some how controls the works from beyond the grave is equally stupid, and deserves a bigger slap in the head.
20 year copyright terms were more then generous, if you haven't milked every drop of profit from a work in 20 years, your an incompetent fool who deserves to be driven out of business.
no one gives a shit about mickey mouse. it's the endless milking of idea's and preventing anything remotely similar that is the issue. thanks for tackling a non issue.
I think you lack facts, perspective and a grasp on who rupert murdoch is. he's a razor sharp business man that knows it's not about filling a demand, it's about creating one. you also need to drop this idea that some how HE is going to build the search engine. he will merely fund it with a set of goals in mind.
i guess you also feel that ibm will never be over taken in the computing market, and that horse and cart can't be out horse and carted by a 4x4..... google isn't safe by a long shot.
I was really just making a point and not going into a detailed analysis of the costs, but since that seems to have gone whooshing over your head lets spread the cost over a 12 month subscription with the assumption that you'll use the device 10% of the time reading the paper. $5.39
still a pretty shitty deal considering there's a large upfront cost.
don't kid yourself, rupert run's news corp with an iron fist. he knows what he wants to achieve but he doesn't understand how to get there. he want's a slice of google's billion dollar ad business.
if he was clever about it, he'd offer apple a partnership where ipad users get free subscription to all news corp material for a year, and fund an apple search engine to take on google. throw in digitised copies of historical papers as part of the search service.
I think the best option for google would be to write a formal letter to rupert asking him to confirm he'd like to be delisted from google. this puts the ball squarely in his court and denies him any recourse when he realises his site's traffic has dropped 100%.
i'd buy that there's been 36 million people download them, and either fail on install or use it for a few days then go back to windows.
utilisation is a much more meaningful measure eg. out of how many attempted installs were used 50% of calendar days. why do nerds always fail so badly at metrics?
rubbish. part of sex ed is teaching what the age of consent is, and why it exists. do people really think kids don't know about sex until we tech them?!
when did the fact information is your greatest protection become lost?
consentual sex ie. 2 under agers having sex that doesn't involve an assult, is going to happen with or without sex ed. proof of this is in the fact it was happening before sex ed.
It is far better for these kids engaging in this to be taught to wear a condom to prevent STD's and unwanted pregnances. sure it's still technically rape, but atleast it won't be rape(which it's not really, not the emotionally scaring kind anyway) + STD's + pregnancy.
anything else is sticking your fingers in your ears and going "LALALALA"
even if they just made DRM that wasn't so obnoxious and screwed up your computer they would be fine. sure it'll be cracked, so what there will always people that will do anything to not pay. write them off as a loss and move on.
as it stands now, all of UBI softs lastest releases are better quality downloaded from crack sites then if you pay for it. they can't see the millions they are making, only the few 1000's they are losing to pirates.

every 2nd story is some lame shit about apple.
most of us don't care! the itampon might have 2 or 3 news worthy posts - when it's released with a review, when it can multitask, when people find out it's an over priced undered featured laptop.
the hostility comes from all the choices religous groups take away from us, forcing their faith on us all. stem cell research? can't have that. abortion? can't have that.
instead of just letting people live their lives, their faith forces them to interfer.
I can. i'm often stuck with an odd sensation that i can't believe i'm real. no i've never been hardcore into drugs and i've never had a bad trip or anything.
ask yourself, "why am i me, and not someone else". that question leads onto others like "how am i able to know this is me". I could totally understand a state of just not existing.

"exit international" fucking hilarious name for self help on killing yourself.
you don't need to because you can see what's selected in a gui, rather then wading through a screen full of text?
sweet so we are in for a boom in achievements in art and science any day now.

it also makes them less useful. a brick is also very functional, but on it's own only good for throwing.
but some people do, and that's the point of wanting it. duh.

with enough energy you can solve any problem, and with universal good health people will be around to do the solving.

science is the PERFECT tool for explaining the world around us. the fact that it is slowly disassembling religous nonsense is a side effect.
