I Sydney they run the neutral right back to the sub station, we have an earth spike in all the homes to increase safety, but the neutral goes back into the power lines hanging in the street. The older style lines that don't have the quad cable still have 4 wires.
In the country however they only run one wire out to remote homes and use the earth as a neutral return because of the long distances between customers.
It may be suprising, but in Sydney all the new power lines installed (i.e. ones that replace the ones that get torn down by trees in storms) are being replaced by a twisted quad cable. It's just the 4 conductors (3 phases + neutral) twisted together into one chunky black insulated cable. I'm wondering if the twists are close enough to stop RF from leaking out of them...
Exactly, I'm currently at Sydney University and so far I've used Linux in 4 subjects, and Windows in 1. Namely I've been tought C, concurrency in Java and some networking intro stuff (simple signals in MATLAB) on Solaris systems through the IT department, and I did a computational physics unit in MATLAB under RH8 systems (I think they ditched windows and optical mice just so they could get 17" LCDs:D). The only time I've used a windows machine was when learning MATLAB through the engineering faculty, which for some reason don't have any Linux machines...that I've seen (ok, I know there fileservers are running Solaris 8, but I'm not meant to know that).
Anyway, my point is that the university seems to be doing a good job training technical people (programmers, physics, oh and I used some Unix True 64 (whatever that is) dumb X terminals in a maths unit...again using MATLAB:p) that windows is not the only way.
I think most of that was just random babble...meh, I'm too drunk to care:p.
I wouldn't laugh about the cost of bottled water. I know of an Australian dairy farmer who was getting ~32c/L for milk and later found a natural spring on his farm and was able to get ~50c/L for the water....Without having to get up at 4am:p.
He didn't just run a 4th test, he cycled the battery 10 times with the sticker on before taking measurements for the 4th graph.
In the text between the 2 graphs:
Over the next few days, I gave the battery ten cycles, as recommended. Some were back-to-back; some had a few hours or a whole night between them. To preserve the surprise, I didn't monitor the battery's performance during the cycling.
Just keep in mind that if you do go to Honeysuckle Creek don't expect to find a tracking station anymore. I went there to do astrophotography once as it's outside of the city a bit and was disapointed to find that the tracking station was just a few concrete slabs:p.
For your information, here's the solar radiation chart for Australia: Here
Be warned though that the units are Mj.m^-1, so you need to divide the reading by the number of seconds in the day to get a reading of mean w.m^-1. There seems to be a lot of data missing right now, but you should get the idea;).
Unfortunatly 3D interfaces aren't really that usefull either. The human mind can far easier interpret 2D information from 2D data. 3D is only really usefull for visulisation of physical objects that are nativly 2D anyway.
Unfortunatly people in Sydney have been taking this too literally. There have been many instances in recent years of people planting used aids-infected needles in places like movie theaters accopanied by notes like "you've just been infected by aids". In my eyes this is purely a form of terrorism.
How much RAM have you got? It's a 10kx10k image so once the browser decompresses it to bmp so it can display it it'll be ~200MB assuming it's a 16b image, or ~400MB if it's a 32b image...Linux will just kill off the program if it runs out of memory...meh. I've got 762MB + 1G swap, but by the look of it firefox is only using ~33MB (well, there are 5 processes of it each with 33MB, so I guess you could say it's using 165MB) meh, who knows.

Don't worry, his computer will probably crash half way through the upload.
Plenty, most people don't remember high school science and so they believe it and keep buying the newspaper.
They don't seem to mention duct tape or paper clips. NEXT!
Hopefully, if I ever get to work on one I'm going to program everything we know about Darwinism into the thing.

Ok, so I should have said that I'd used Unix-type systems instead of Linux, at any rate I wasn't using windows :p.

The combination of "stacks of features and uses" combined with "under-utilization" makes bluetooth look a solution looking for a problem.
Made from tiny atoms? Man, that must have been expensive to build...

Hmm, it sounded big when I ordered it.
Shouldn't that be "Conditions of low humidity"?
Yes we did, my internet isn't free you know :p.

Exactly, I am a Christian and I see no problem with evolutionary theory or fact. To put it simply:
Creationism states God created everything (as told in Genesis,
Therefore God created DNA
Therefore God created evolution, end of argument.

Then sell it on e-bay?

Works fine in Firefox though...
