However, he was fined A$3000 and required to enter into a two-year good behaviour bond in respect to each of the charges.
You know, the way things are going, he probably would have gotten a bigger fine if they'd just gone after him for trademark violation of cartoon minors.
I doubt that the series of Peanuts-character bondage paintings will be put on show in Oz any time soon.
Everyone on/. knows you don't run Windows for safety and reliability.
Isn't that prohibited in the EULA?
Hmm, after checking, no, it isn't. Nothing about not using it for mission-critical purposes, monitoring nuclear power stations, or medical equipment. I thought those would be standard across all operating systems.
These could be wall panel in loud factories and make the electric meters run slower....someday, maybe even backwards...wait....that darn 2nd law of Thermodynamics, again! Okay, slower.
I'm sure you could come up with noise sources that don't draw from the grid to get the meter to run backwards without violating entropy. It all depends on not keeping the system closed.
One way would be to regularly feed humans to the machinery. They don't consume power off of your grid, but they sure do make a lot of noise, especially when inserted feet first.
Among the exemption proposals is a request from the Harvard Cyberlaw Clinic to allow circumvention of DRM protection when the central authorization server goes down
Which first lists Circuit City's Digital Video Express (DIVX) disks under "DRM-based Stores Have Failed In the Past":

I hope it includes allowing for the authorization of my lawfully purchased copy of DVD X Copy Gold which I didn't get activated before the company was served with a cease-and-desist. That would be sweet irony.
I think it would also conclude that getting an fMRI while talking on the cellphone is bad for the cellphone. And the fMRI machine. And probably the patient.
And the car as well, and the road signs, and the other cars around it and the people in them.
Or how Scorpio would sneak in and out past Federation patrols to get within teleport distance of Altern Five in order to recover selsium ore to make fuel crystals. Of course, that does mean hugging an asteroid of about two billion tons within 50 yards (near enough to be in its radar shadow without the risk of being damaged by its spin), matching course only at the last minute to minimize the risk of a patrol detecting plasma radiation from sustained thrust.
Just make sure you aren't relying solely on the backup system.
Oh, and make your approach on the side with the spin, not against it.

How long have CB radios been in cars? Any correlation between CB radio use and accidents? Better ban CB radios out of all vehicles. Especially trucks, taxis, and police vehicles. If dispatch needs to talk to you, they can send a signal to automatically engage your emergency brake first.
Seriously: why only phones? Because they're relatively new and increasingly common, even though plain radio receivers are far more common and they aren't going after people who sing along in their cars.
Say, is that one of those schools where they use your Social Security Number as your student ID number? I only mention it as the form indicates it to be 9 digits long and it's perfectly readable both in print and the ovals.
This is a great idea! Young people LOVE taking tests and the next time they go past Bennys Burger(TM) they are guaranteed to think that is THE place to go! Soon methods like trying to associate your brand with cool music or a sports star will be history.
Just wait until the ad on the test is actually a tear-off coupon.
As someone who occasionally boots an illegitimate copy of Windows to play his legitimate copy of Half-Life.... if somebody were to give me 200 bucks and told me to choose between a new CPU+mobo or a donation to an organization which IMHO does more damage than good... tough choice.
Which organization do you mean: Microsoft or Black Mesa?
Auto-update doesn't work so well when months to years pass without the machine being turned on.
I don't even know if SP3 is installed on my gaming XP PC. I do know it wasn't on my Mac Pro under Boot Camp.
I just want to burn the updates I need to a DVD-R and update it off-line. All their security in Windows Update and Genuine Advantage verifications suggests they don't want that to be possible.

Do androids dream of electronic sheep?
Last night I watched the nightly news Last night I watched the nightly news Do you watch the nightly news? Do you watch it, faithfully? Night after night after... [baa!] night?
I watch it. I watch it. We watch the nightly news.
But last night was different. Something happened. As I watched I suddenly saw that *gasp* My hands had become little hooves My feet were little hooves *gasp* My nose was long My nostrils were big *gasp* I had two furry ears I was covered with wool *gasp*
When I opened my mouth out came, "baa baa." The anchorman was saying, "blah blah." And I replied, "baa baa." The anchorwoman was saying, "blah blah." And I replied, "baa baa."

It's what I first thought of when seeing the story. A pity the device in Earth: Final Conflict was given such a mundane name as "a Global" without even a trademarkable variation on the spelling to allow it to be more easily referenced in popular and technical cultures. "Earth: Final Conflict Global" also doesn't roll off the tongue as easily as, say, "Star Trek Communicator"; the series-as-adjective is too long and cumbersome to say, and even fans might not pick up on "EFC Global".
The fictional EFC phone still outclasses anything I've seen dreamt-up to date.
Still, holding a camera on yourself, even with image stabilization software built-in, isn't something most people would want to do in a portable videophone, especially without visual feedback that you're framing yourself properly. And then there's the 100% speakerphone and optical eavesdropping aspects.

And terrifying people about innocent children sells more.
Well that's hardly new. The Midwich Cuckoos was first published in 1957 and made into movies in 1960, 1963, and 1995.
Well, it is frequently updated. Sometimes several times in a day.

alien now means 'out of this star system'. like, as in, if some entity from mars appeared out of nowhere and landed, they wont be aliens no more.
So it's like meteor and meteorite then: if they're in space, they're aliens; if they're on Earth, they're immigrants?
I prefer Flavor Aid in my cyanide-laced suicide drinks.
Don't forget the white Nikes with the black swooshes.

Solution: driving w/ phone = lose your license
First for a month, then for a year.
Then heavy fines and community service.
Then jail time.
Then the death penalty.
This will guarantee no repeat offenders.
If you get all that just for the first offense, sure.
Anyone know of any studies using fMRI or the like which suggest such a thing?
I suspect any study would confirm that driving whilst undergoing an fMRI scan is extremely dangerous and distracting.
How are you supposed to check your wing mirrors and blind spots before changing lanes if you can't move your head?

I put my copyright notice next to every answer.
Doesn't work so well on the scantron forms though.

Perhaps it's because I don't understand who Ann Coulter is or what Fox news reports on
What rock have you been living under, and are you looking for a roommate?
Yes, but unfortunately, the stupid far outweigh the brilliant.
I'll drink a Brawndo to that.

Or rather "paid" back.
