MHO of what you need to commit cyber crime with impunity in Australia is; a computer and Internet access.
As long as you are not a total moron, I think it would be very difficult for the AG to win a case without substantial (FBI) international help.
Clearly a rip-off of the work of Ponder Stibbons at UU. The HEX architecture using ants is now well established. Good thing the researchers didn't decide to use chickens - recent history shows that would not end well.
Well that's a relief. I much prefer the idea of a Really Big Silk Worm than a Really Big Spider to spin the cable for the space elevator.
I for one welcome our new silk moth overlords.
Ha! That's a trick question. Everyone knows at the Brussels conference of 1989 the ISO standard was ratified based on the North African Asiatic Elephant (as used by Hannibal, but now extinct).
25mm is one inch. For tempered glass, I think that is pretty thick - it has a loading weight of something like two tonnes (2 tons) for a 1 metre (1 yard) span.
But you see what I mean - an unqualified statement like that could mean anything.
The pool fencing around my patio is 10mm thick. The floor of the Auckland tower has glass 25mm thick. So how thick is thick? A pretty pointless claim if you ask me. And three years? In Internet terms it may as well be 30 years. A stupid press release all round.
Interesting, since both legal systems are based on the same 'common law' and it is not unusual for US precedents to be cited in an Australian court to assist in tort law decisions (and I believe the reverse is also true).
In the case of almost everything except land, stolen property is returned to the original owner. Land ownership however, is a carryover from the English system, whereby the holder of the title deeds is the legal owner of the land.
As an extreme example, in most cases the title deeds are held by the bank (along with the mortgage contract). If by accident, the bank opened the wrong safety deposit box and gave the deed to someone else, that person becomes the legal owner of the property, because, they physically now hold the title deeds.
It would not be impossible to get title back if such an accident were to happen, but the losing party would have to go to court to prove their case, and the decision would have to be upheld by the supreme court and could still be appealed to the high court.
I imagine the reason for this stems from medieval times, where if your castle was taken by force, and you were killed in the battle, as long as your heir escaped with the title deeds, they remained the legal owner.
AFAIK under Australian Law, the people who bought the first house get to keep it. Assuming they are just innocent and genuine buyers. There is a government fund that is used to compensate the victim of the theft in these sort of cases, though the value will be independently assessed and the owner paid on the basis of that assessment, not what the current owners paid the scammers.
Not enough for the power needed for a 1 hour recharge of an 8 hour talk life battery, sure. But a continuous trickle charge.... ??
As for microwaves - I wonder just what frequency the two tuned coils use? Something around the 1-10GHz band maybe?
Isn't "magnetic resonance in which power can be wirelessly sent between two coils that are tuned to resonate at the same frequency." otherwise known as a radio transmitter/receiver? I recall as a young lad building a crystal set with a coil of wire and a diode, that was able to extract enough power from the local radio station to drive a small speaker. Seems like any piece of wire and a diode will extract a trickle feed of power from the RF bath we live in. Why not just use that?
Almost no one who drinks champagne does it in away that allows it to be appreciated like any other fine wine. It is always a case of 'pop the cork, pour the glass' - even in very good restaurants with good sommelier that should know better.
The ONLY way to get the full benefit of the drink is to open the bottle at least 45 minutes before it is to be drunk, then let it bottle breath on ice or in a 'clean' refrigerator (that is, one where the champagne wont pick up the aromas of anything else that is in the fridge). One technique to shortcut this process is to pour a little into each flute ant let it stand (about 15 minutes) and then top up the flutes just prior to serving. Personally, I have found this to be inferior to the bottle breathing method, but still better than 'pop and serve'
Try this out yourself, and you will find even with a standard NV Verve the flavour is vastly better than anything you have tried before. And if you are drinking something like a vintage Krug, then it is mandatory that you let it breath, unless you want to end up with a mouth full of something that tastes like liquid vegimite.
Well, the reason no one bothers to take down those other pages, is not everyone in those groups has at least one AK47 each, a family rocket launcher, and a track record of making good on their terrorist death threats.
If you have to draw the line, then a 10% or better chance of being killed if you don't comply is probably as good a threshold value as any to adopt.
Pity the lesson of Y2K went unheeded - where every COBOL programmer was paid whatever they asked to fix their code, but after should have all been taken out to a field and shot in the head.

... is that that would be finding when the 'sponsor' is a company called BioCote. Now I wonder what product they make?
I for one an sorry to see him go. I think he has brought the company well through some rough times.
$2M of EMC equipment - wow, that's like five hard drives!
The man is obviously an idiot not to realize that anyone who would increase the commission to 15% could be negotiated up to 17%.

Funny, read like a press release. My mistake. I really should pay more attention.

I thought we had all changed to the Elephant standard for distance and volume?

It's Friday afternoon and I have breathed too much wine already.

Hopefully it wont be a case of 'How far away is the Asteroid?' '100 billion miles' BANG!
But how much is that in terms of Elephants?

Ah well, a whore is a whore is a whore, clothes on or off.
