For hundreds of years everyone "observed" that a heavy stone falls faster than a feather.
No they didn't. I mean, no it doesn't. A 1kg bag of feathers and a 1kg bag of stone fall at... precicley the same speed.
Get similar quantities of dissimilar objects, wrap them up (to avoid wind resistance differences,) and drop from equal height. They will both hit the ground at the same time.
Sure, it's easy to throw away hardware and just buy a replacement. That works for CPU's and memory. How about your data?
Even home users who back up don't back up all that often. So how much is it worth to you to keep all that data and information you already have? $100? $200? How does that come into play when you are weighing up the cost of replacing or repairing?
What about software installation on the new machine? How many applications need to be loaded? Special templates? Tools, layouts, systems - all take time. To get a PC back to a standard that the client is happy with (as in it has 10 or so applications loaded and configured,) takes much much longer than cleaning out some spyware.
Sell your services to your clients better. You are trying to SAVE them money at $75 an hour. They are MUCH better off with their OLD system well maintained.
After all, when you need an oil change, do you go out and buy a new car? No. Why? Because every car needs an oil change. Just like every computer needs they occasional crap clean out.
since you lack a court with the real authority to do what the US supremes can do
Actually, Australia has the Federal High Court, and of course being a member of the Commonwealth, a Governor General. Both of these entities have the power to turn over a law, and both have done so previously.
The High Court can
If the government of the day screws up, the Governor General will sack them in a "double dissolution" of Parliment, and this will immediatly trigger a general election. This has happened once before in our 204 year history.
Y'know what? I'm a sales guy, but I've always loved to have a bit of a code on the weekends. My manager just gave me an HP iPAQ. Finally, I can *easily* write some *functional* software for my own purposes in.NET, which will do what I want it to do, and run on my palm.
It's bloody inspirational, and I thank you for it. I'm going to have a customized sales centre up in no time. Weekend, here I come!
Yes, and after that say, you don't like it, you don't agree? Then you can't use my computer!
Jeez it's simple isn't it! If the kid can't agree to being monitored online, no access. Same with anything for kids really, if they won't compromise, don't give in and let them have it their way. After all, the real world doesn't work like that...

So, when you go to the bank to make a deposit, what do you write on your deposit slip?
Your account number!
Think of a situation where the banker, or stock broker, or accountant has provided his client with a digital signature, and said to the client, if you get a signed email from me, take it as real.

Hi, this is your boss.
You can tell it's me as you can see this message has been digitally signed.
You're fired.
or
This is John from your bank. You can tell it's me because this message is digitally signed, and we both know that it must be from me.
Because this is Australia, and there is no "Betamax precedent" in Australia.
The Australian Supreme Court does *not* recognise US precedent.
In Australia, there is no such thing as fair use. It *is* illegal here to tape a show off the TV. It *is* illegal here to copy your own CD for "backup."
It's quite possible this case could go either way.
At least you'd get a great close up view, and of couse some time alone in a space capsule orbiting another world, which in itself wouldn't be such a bad experience.
It would be a great momemnt for personal reflection. Now I think about it, perhpaps some various world leaders could use 10 or so hours orbiting alone to help them get their perspective back.

No?

Is a felt strain isolation pad actually Velcro?

By "State," he meant "country."
Talk about doublespeak.
