If you're backing up trivial amounts of data, just use a USB stick. It's reusable. If you're backing up real data, you need something bigger. We use 3 Ultrium 3s for a full backup and we are a small operation.
The big reason is back-end systems. A lot of people spent a lot of money on big apps written when IE6 was the only game around. IE7/8 only exist to compete with the alternate browsers that came out later. We've only recently been cleared to use IE7 to access our financial / HR systems. Maybe we'll be allowed to use IE8 in a few years.
At a RHoK Hackathon, benevolently-inclined hackers will listen to a keynote speech presenting the challenges we are facing. Then they’ll churn out some of the most important open source code on the planet
Emphasis mine. I'd love to see someone try to close-source this stuff with the major players. Let's see a four-way fight between Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and the US Government. Popcorn anyone.
The NBN isn't implemented yet either and we're betting that it won't get much further. A few roll-outs in the South-East corner and not much more. Hopefully the filter is as successful. Oh joy, Lateline is showing Conroy attacking Google. The man makes Alston look like a genius.
No, prostitution is legal in some Australian states, but not others. Here it's illegal, but the police/government tolerate it if certain rules are followed. Try legalising it and you'll be swarmed by the interest groups.

Nah, just choke it down and use a filtering proxy. You've then got a lot of spare pipe for 'research' or reading Slashdot. Gotta go, the boss is back.
RDP and VNC don't do a half meg image either. Not as good on dialup, but better than sucking the files down to the local box.

Have you had the joy of LocalTalk to EtherTalk gateways? Throw in some 10Base2 and it can be really exciting.
So they'll have problems closer to the equator?
Well, somebody did call it a Monster battery. The price fits.
With a car from the UK? 110 Volts may be a problem, but I'd be more worried about the charge time.
Bigger battery = go further, a concept proved by submarines in WWI. I'm sure I could also make an iPad reference here.
I'm afraid you'll meet a great deal of resistance.
Better than ground clearance, how well do batteries do in extreme cold? I remember batteries dying fast in the cold. Could be wrong.

You are a sick human being.
and so are the mods. :)
Since he's made so many other game adaptations.
'Pretty' fits as well. Probably wasn't my first thought.

Current deployment rate of the NBN should have most of Australia up to ADSL 1 levels by around 2030.
You're a starry-eyed optimist.

Yep, there was a shortage of 30 pin RAM around here because everyone needed 4MB to upgrade to Windows 95.
And don't strip the binaries.
We're just mirroring American Customs.

A special adults only episode...
Uh huh, and why do they let people through with the usual stash of 'Bali disks?' It's not about copyright.
If you need to take porn on your honeymoon, you have bigger problems.
Check out 'Not Quite Hollywood' or any collection of '70s Australian cinema. That's Australian culture, not porn.
