If there's enough processing elements for SIMD, you could use it for the hard core matrix operations in engineering analysis. I'm wondering waht this could do for things like FEA.
Your "socialist paradise" paid for your education by sending the bill to people who actually earn their keep.
Yeah, it came to me after I finished my degree. We basically run our student loans as part of the taxation system. It's called investing in our people.
It's probably along the lines of Parliamentary Privilege. Politicians can say anything they like inside the chamber. When they start saying really stupid stuff, someone will challenge them to say it outside where they can be punished for it.
I read it more as them getting a default judgment against someone laid up in hospital. What's next, coma patients? "Your honor, the defendant refused to be deposed. He claims he's in a vegetative state."
Actually, Conroy did the about face a week after Family First agreed to support some financial bills. The ALP know this thing won't succeed but they've already got what they want.
Really? How do I show a film that I haven't had voluntarily classified?
if a video game is unsuitable for children it's banned outright (GTA, Fallout 3, F.E.A.R. 2, Silent Hill, Singles: Flirt Up Your Life, Manhunt have all been banned in Australia). Every state in Australia has all X-rated material on the RC list.
States, but not territories. There are efforts to allow R rated games, but these are being blocked by one state Attorney General.
Actually, the rules vary from state to state. There are things (like Peter Jackson's Bad Taste) that sell themselves on being "banned in Queensland." There is also the fact that Canberra is where you go for hard core porn. So, the solution is to get your local MP to pick some up while Parliament is sitting.
The Constitutional angle is one that gets too little attention in the US. In Australia, the people are still nominally subjects of the Queen of England, so I suggest fixing that and then getting a strictly limited government.
Could you cut the Republican crap, please. Who do you think would 'fix' that for us? The current politicians. I see that being a success. I'd rather have a powerless, nice, old lady (or her even more powerless progeny) than some politician who's gamed the system to 'fix' things for himself.
The good news is that Fielding has started causing the government more trouble on education. If he's too unreliable, they may finally stop pandering to him.
It looks like the opposition and Greens won't allow the filtering through the Senate, so Family First looses this one. Fingers crossed.
Ah, sorry. I wasn't speaking in support of spankings, I was pointing out that they've been a no-no for a long time. The 'think of the children' was an attempt at irony. Most of the time, 'think of the children' is used for the wrong reasons. In this case, it was a reaction to child-abuse masked as discipline.
It happens with 2d CAD as well. People leaving dots and bits of crap out in the middle of space mean that you may have to print a couple of hundred drawings and can't just say plot extents. At least the vendors fixed the issue where the center of very shallow arcs caused the same problem.
I've seen most of the evil people can do to CAD designs. I once threatened to replace a guy's machine with crayons, but was told he'd think he was a design checker and cause even more damage.
Actually, gun ownership rates haven't changed much in decades. The only change was removing the semi-autos and replacing them with bolt actions. That being said, we didn't have a lot of guns to start with.
I used to use 8'' floppies as coasters. I could put an entire dinner plate on them. I worked with people who remembered the 5.25'' floppies but they couldn't figure out what was wrong with mine.

Given what I know of their 'investigative techniques' I'd say it's a better than even chance she's not guilty. :)

Oh please, everything gets labeled terrorism these days. It's simple racketeering.
"National White Collar Crime Center" I think I have to give these guys a call and see if they can help with my next business.

It's pretty obvious, the trolls are getting mod points.
If you're going to nitpick, Canberra is a city. The ACT is a territory. :)
MPAA ratings are purely voluntary, though.

Even better, the religious sites frequented by Family First supporters. For the real nuclear option, start blocking sports sites.

And unlike the MPAA in the US, they do things in the open and subject to public review.
The last government set up a programme to do that years ago. ISPs supply NetNanny to any customer who requests it.

'Simple spankings' have been treated as assault in a lot of places for years. They were 'thinking of the children.'

The legal contents of our gun safe would beg to differ, but ours are tools for work.
I prefer 10CC's "Load up with cellphone jammers."
How about concrete and steel? Don't they put walls on prisons in South Carolina?
