Something similar happened in Australia where Telstra sent out promotional messages (via voicemail??) that end users were charged for. They were taken to court very quickly and ordered to undo the charges.
In my local area (South Australia) we have alot of magpies, and none of them are self aware. Its quite common for magpies here to attack their own reflection in mirrors and windows, often injuring themselves in the process. If they dont injure themselves they keep going, which results in an annoying "thump" from the window every 15 seconds as the magpie attacks it.
A major quality international electronics brand started shipping all their TV's and electronic equipment in Australia by rail for a small cost saving. However, their equipment failure rate jumped by over 300%. Rail is great for bulk materials, but not as good for the sensitive stuff.
I'll agree here. For simple and even moderately complex sites, Coldfusion will allow you to create them quicker than any other language. Development is very easy and very quick. However, as the projects get bigger, coldfusion will eventually just start to get in your way. Logic gets thrown into every page, cant be easily abstracted out and just becomes one big mess thrown all over different pages, all over the shop.
What you do not mention is that the radar cross section changes remarkably depending on the position of the radar. The F-117 is significantly more stealthy from below then it is from above.
Plus the F-117 is only really stealthy from below - not above. More countries getting airborne radars and over the horizon type radars - severely reduces the effectiveness of the F-117.
But the Greens are a mob of Left Wing Hippies that are more communist like than the old communist party, and Senator Bob Green is a wacko, who I will never vote for. Copyright is the least of our propblems if they had power. Family First is essentially a fundamentalist Christian group. Their policies and action plan include hard line censorship of the internet to all users. That is worse imho.
1) Unlike the internet, which runs on wires between computers, wireless communications propagate through space. For this particular frequency range, there is currently no practical way to isolate one broadcast from another in a particular area except by limiting broadcasts to different frequencies within the spectrum. If you and I both broadcast from our personal antenna on 700.635MHZ, then we both get noise--or the guy with the more powerful antenna wins but with a really messy signal. In other words, the guy with the most money wins just like the case now--except the licensing rules prevent competing broadcasters on a given wavelength.
Not completely true. With CDMA and WCDMA technology like UMTS (3g) each mobile uses all of the available spectrum -in UMTS 5MHz. Mobile Terminals arent limited to a single unique channel like AMPS and historical radio communications. So, in your example 100 mobiles may be communicating on 700.635MHz (actually the whole range between 700 and 705MHz) without issue. There is no hard limit as to how many mobile terminals can access this frquency - the higher the number of terminals, the higher the signal to noise ratio for all of the terminals.

Seriously. Until oil, we'd never used a fossil fuel.
Humans have been using coal for heat and cooking for thousands of years.
Sorry, but I have to call bullshit on this one. Talk to ANY environmental activist, and they'll bring up wind power. I just went on the Walk Against Warming march in Sydney on the weekend ( 30,000 here, 30,000 in Melbourne, approx 150,000 Australia-wide ). The place was literally covered with windmill things on poles, and Greens banners. It was amazing. I think the only people who complain about wind are actually arsewipes from the big oil & nuclear industry, trying to throw a spanner in the works. NO serious environmentalist brings up the issues in your point.
The parent post was right on this one. In South Australia there are quite a few wind farm projects seeking development approval at the moment, and all of them have environmental groups protesting against them. Too ugly, too noisy and they kill too many birds are the prime complaints.

Obviously, whatever board is working its magic in this AOC, and similar, is a full blown computer.
Not necessarily. Theres a range on multimedia players that have similar specs and are running on DVD player type hardware.

No. In Australia they buy the vinal or cd as normal, but must be covered by a performance license.

Sun doesnt need one. Theres 3 or 4 out there already.
My HTC phone running Windows Mobile 6 has the intent Java MIDlet Manager. MIDP 2.0. It works well....
Its a pity the Britain essentially pioneered the entire computer industry, and essentially destroyed the lot, allowing the US to recreate it later.
160hp is ~= 119kw Not 575kw. Ive been in a 500+kw car, and its alot more lively than your typical honda.

Not only do they meter your usage, they meter your uploads AND downloads. Most providors only meter your downloads.
Almost. In the metric world, it is spelt arseload.

Telstra were only threatening to go to Java to negotiate massive discounts out of Microsoft.
