Protect the trademarks against use in trade or against genericisation. Taking your idea to extremes, every Toyota car in a news article, ad, movie or anything else would be a trademark case for Toyota. Another thing, the story is about copyright, not trademark. Toyota would have to do real work for a trademark claim.
Worse, I downloaded Safari for Windows for testing and they tried to force iTunes on me. They said it was a security update. I've since removed their update 'service' (like servicing a cow) and I guess I'll have to update Safari manually.
Admittedly, this was a while back and maybe they've cleaned up their act. Then again, Firefox 3.0.4 refuses to install because I need to run as an account with more rights than a full administrator. All I need now is Opera to give me grief.
Twenty to thirty meters from the top of mining equipment onto hard packed earth is good too. We used to joke about this one because the phone still worked afterward. Just lucky, I guess.
It hasn't been implemented yet and while the politicians are still talking about it, it's under the public's radar. Once Conroy and Fielding start pushing this through Parliament, it will get more attention.
And it's legal to own a firearm with good reason. It's flame-bait because he's spouting the 'they took away you guns' bullshit that pro-machinegun idiots have been spouting for years.
So the solution then is to ramp up the false positive rate. Get everything tagged as wrong and someone will 'fix' it. Fix it the way a vet does, hopefully.
Some of the other colonies did use convict labour. Western Australia was founded by free men but imported convicts for a while. The thing a lot of the people making a big deal about our convicts forget is: we let them go when their term was up and their children were born free.
If you came out in '71 you'd be in the majority of Australians who are or descend form post WWII migrants. I'm old school, my family are post WWI migrants.:)
I remember being forced to do scripture classes in primary school. We always wondered about the kids who went elsewhere during those classes and that's got to be a problem. The only things I learned from that class are: "You reap what you sew" and don't trust priests.
The last lot were 'looking at it,' but Howard realised that he would get hammered for it and he was too busy trying to stay in power to do any real damage, so they kept looking.
The current lot said they were looking at it too, but then they needed some help getting their economic plan through the Senate and suddenly we have a mandatory filtering plan.
Given that this whole thing looks to be a pander to Steve Fielding and Family First, I think the better solution will be to start blocking things they care about. That and downloading porn and asking them to grade it for me.
I've had just about enough of FF. Rigging Australian Idol didn't bother me, but now they're trying to shut down the web.
Hopefully, they will. Google is mainstream enough that killing it will be one of the quickest ways to piss off the public and get this whole plan scrapped.
There's an old rule that 'the best way to fight a stupid law is to enforce it to the letter.' This explains why Australia has a tonne of boneheaded laws that are never enforced.
Yeah, as in there are good and bad ways to make it into the history books. I guess we'll have to wait a generation or three to see what Bush's legacy will look like. One thing is certain, it will be 'significant.'

No, but they 'distribute' or offer to share them with the offender and the RIAA has said that that's good enough.
You can have a lot of fun with a pack of Trojans, but this is Slashdot.

Would it damage the screen? What about heat load and air conditioning?
And 'pirate' servers.

alt.sex.bestiality.hamster.duct-tape.particle-physics was another one.
Heh, the only thing I knew about the bestiality group was the tag-line, "Happiness is a warm puppy."
Yup, I did that one with crontab -r (for read) I've never made that mistake again.
Bruce Schneier perhaps?
So you're proposing we form a committee? :) I know where you're coming from, but remember this is a government implementation.
Now, that's bringing religion into politics. Holy war anyone?
Yes, but you need someone with the balls to issue such a document in the first place, hence my point.

No matter how you vote, a politician always wins.

It was interesting seeing the early projections yesterday. The red/blue state maps almost looked like a map from the civil war.
Dude, we have multiple states and territories with different traffic regimes. What are you talking about?
