This is what http://www.opendns.com/ does.
It provides a dns server that does some filtering such as blocking malicious websites and can spelling in urls. If this is a good thing is up to you.
IANAL but I believe it would just require a referendum to be called to change the preamble. I would suggest it would function the same way as the failed referendum to become a republic.
One thing to note about this story Philip Ruddock when he held a press conference about this issue he had not himself seen the dvd in question as was noted in the abc news (australia) report on this issue.
Material is classified by the office of film an literature classificaitons, it is set a series of rules of what is ok and what is not. There already exists law banning "insciteing terrorisum" and the oflc assesed the dvd in question and found in it's independent assesment that it did not break this rule and was therfore fit for general consumption. It seems strange that the government just wants to make noise about something that fully compiles with the classification laws especially when the person in charge has not reviewed thie material itself. There are occasionally some films that are incorrectly classified, what normally happens is the government can request that it be reassesed and they change it's rateing. This reclassification stage (from what i can see) has not been requested

It is really that bad for a majority of programs especially scifi:
Alias for example, according to wikipedia it was shown 2005-2006, It has not been shown in australia yet with no plans from what i can see to have it shown, There is also no release date for the dvd. Star Trek: Voyager was the worst you finished in 2001, we finished in 2005.
With Battlestar galactica we just showed the last episode of season 2 a few hours ago (started at 11:40pm but would be shown anywhere between 10:30pm and 2:30am) You are half way through season 3.
Stargate sg1, we finished season 9 last month, Stargate Atlantis we are at season 2 episode 6.
Extras started their second season last week.
The O.C. Is one exception though, channel 10 actually showed episodes of this within a week of the us, You showed it on the 22nd we showed it on the 23rd or 24th (the Australian rules pre-season has started so some regions where delayed).
Most programs are put on a 6 month delay much of this is because of the difference in ratings periods, yours is around September ours started a few weeks ago.
According to a book that i'm reading "It ain't necessarily so...bro" by Dr Karl Kruszelnicki (Ignoble award winner, Radio host on Triple J (Australia)).
"In 1988 the scientist Nancy Knight (at the National Center for Atmospheric research in Boulder, Colorado) was studying cirrus clouds. During a snow storm in Wisconsin her research plane collected snowflakes on a chilled glass slide coated with sticky oil. Two of the snowflakes where identical (atleast under a microscope, atleast)." page 148
Steam supports server side scripting such as http://www.zombiehorde.com/. The marketplace would be something that could potentially be dissabled server side if you feel like it. My isp has a wide range of game servers with different maps and server rules it is something that could be customised to allow for people that like the old prices to stick to thair own server with just the default prices and not be part of the new wepons economy.
It appears that the writer of the heading has goten confused, the town of Rattenberg is located in AUSTRIA which is a country in europe not australia which is in the southern hemosphere.
Why would the EU be paying for a project on the other side of the world in australia?
Infact the article makes no reference to australia only austria.
Have you thaught about flac? http://flac.sourceforge.net/. it is another open source royalty free codec that supports lossless comporession which might be a good opion if you want high quality and no data loss because of compression.
how do they expect this to happen?
if there is a publicly available standard what is there to stop people from removing the copy protection?
one of the key features of all DRM technologies is they use some secret lock to stop non authorized users from accessing the media. if the lock is clearly defined in a standard it makes it easier to break.
Tux magazine issue one has a good article on how to sync a palm with korganizer useing KPilot.
it is avalable from HERE it provides a useful guide on how to set everything up to sync your data.
you don't use a high level language for writeing interpreters. is the JRE written in java? is the.net runtime written in c#?
no, because they are runtime environments that provide an abstraction for the code to be interpreted. it does not make sence directly includeing an interpreter into a kernel instead you have a runtime environment that sits above the kernel. it would be a bad design decision to directly intergrate these because it would be bad for security, stability and it would also mean it would be even more dificult to change or update the runtime environment.
It sounds like quite a resonable idea, as an alternative windows networking.
Bonjour provides a simple discovery service, and with something like this it could provide a really easy to setup network. it should not be hard to port this to other languages/platforms.
Everyone has had to struggle setting up a home network, with something like this you do not need to do anything because bonjour does the hard work.
isn't wiki designed for this collaberation?
unlike sub ertha edit, it is not fixed to an operating system, just a web browser, allowing everyone to participate.
For databases both postgres and mysql are two great database backends. they are both free and open source, and both have stable ports to windows. mysql is a faster database in general compared to postgress, but postgress supports more advanced queries than mysql. so both databases are evenly matched.
In South Australia it is the same, there are the same types of filters in place.
it is funny when your teacher uses the internet to look up legitamate topics such as sexual harrasment, but it is blocked because the site contains the key word 'sex'.
go for the basics, such as steady hand games. all you need is a battery, a light a buzzer and wire.
Go into electronic stores, they can have lots of simple kits that would be apropriate. You could get some magazines for idea's, i occasionally look at them, and every once in a while there are some good basic projects for children.
I installed debian this way when it with the first time progeny was mentioned on slashdot. it made it easyer to install than using the old installer, and you had a full os installed in no time.
With the new debian installer constantly being updated, i am starting to think progeny has missed it's chance. the new installer is far better than the old installer. though debian does not have a good graphcal wizard based installer like anaconda, it is rapidly improveing, with a gtk+ based installer underway. making the debian port of anaconda a little less needed as it might have been if it where cereated a fiew years ago.
I agree, some people don't get the GPL, it is fine to copy it and make your own verion of it aslong as you agree to the terms of the GPL and release thair source code it is fine.
If the floppy disk driver is the same as microsoft's one, how long do they think they will last against microsoft.
Ihis is one thing i find strange about america (i'm an aussie) is the seperation of powers between the national government and the state government.
In australia the government collects the taxes, which is distributed through to the states. The states are responsible for the running of the state, and can collect taxes on state based services (such as plane tickets), the local council can collect money in it's own area (parking etc).
There is a clear hirarcy of power, the national government sets all national laws, the state sets it's state based laws, the councils set thair own laws.
This doesn't suprise me, with all the money being spend on the army, it makes an awful lof of sence to give the army all the tools they need. the better prepared the army, the better they can protect us.

I read slashdot and lxer it's a good news source that just contains linux news in a similar style to slashdot..

without ibm setting the standard, will computers still be ibm compatable?
