The location of the server doesn't matter when it comes to defamation law in Australia. The test case was Dow Jones & Co. Inc. v Gutnick.
Despite the article in question that allegedly defamed Australian Joseph Gutnick, was published by an American company and provided via American servers, the case of defamation was allowed to be tried in the Australian state of Victoria. The key point being that the defamation occurs at the place the communication is received (in this case, Australia), not where it is stored.
Seriously, the headline had me thinking it was about a fight over food supplies in space with issues regarding commercial vendors to supply NASA or something.
Nothing, as so to speak. ATC systems are not entirely autonomous systems. People, whether they be air traffic control or the pilots have to interpret the information and act on them.
An air traffic control system is not a flight control system. Flight control systems in the aviation world relate to things that control the ailerons, elevators and rudders on an aircraft. ATC systems may provide inputs into an FCS when in autopilot but it is an external input.
It might not be so high-res when looking at the number without context, however, on a 10.1 inch screen, it translates to high DPI. Your monitors are most likely at least 24 inches in size.
High DPI vs. Standard DPI.. that's where the whoop-de-doo comes from.
This is more of the same, "Infringe on someone else's freedom to protect mine? Sounds good! Infringe on my freedom to protect someone else's? Hell no!"
Are all freedoms equal? Do my freedoms hold more weight over yours?
Except, in some cases, people need the wide space offered by the disabled parking spot for things like crutches or wheelchairs or whatever. Sure you might be able to get a person out into a wheelchair in a normal (tight) spot, but thats clearly without risks and would obviously be really difficult.
So, disabled spaces aren't always about walking distance, but about space around the vehicle.
It's the same thing with "Parents with Prams" parking spots - unless you want to discriminate against them as well?
Specifally those by 07th Expansion. Sort of a bit more than a simple book since they have images... but Umineko no Naku Koro ni and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni do really well in adding to the ambience by having audio tracks and sound effects. But, again, it's a visual novel rather than a simple book. So I have my doubts about this idea...
But there are a few companies/places/whatever that have gone about developing 3D technology without the need for 3D glasses.
Nintendo is supposedly doing it with the 3DS, with two companies lined up that are suspected of providing the screens that allow it. IIRC, Sharp was one of them.
I dunno if places do it with debit cards, but it should be just as easy... but with some (dunno if all) credit card companies flag "suspicious" activity - and your card being used in Europe would be one such instance... in those cases, they'd call you up to verify the purchase.
Your bank could at least do that sort of thing. Like seriously.. Europe? duh!
actually, if you read the reason as to why AvP was banned, its because of the highly realistic depiction of humans being killed... specifically by predators who can gouge people's eyes outs, tear off their heads and pocket them as a trophy.
The position of Attorney-General is appointed by the leader of the ruling government. Similar to how the leader can shuffle members of his cabinet and make them ministers for different things.
Atkinson is the Minister of Justice, which i suppose makes sense for him to be appointed Attorney-General.
Next year is the South Australian state elections and things can change hands with the current leader of the Labor party being involved in a scandal regarding a supposed affair - which he of course denies and is suing for defamation.
As for having the power to veto things...
Well, it's written in the Classification Act of 1995 which also outlines the "Code" - the Code being the classification rules that dictate how things have to be rated. The Attorney-Generals Department is responsible for the Classification Board and as such, it's written in the Act that any amendments to the Code can only be done if the minister and all participating ministers agree to the amendment.
So if a unanimous vote is not obtained, the amendment is vetoed - as simple as that.
This means that the only way for the R18+ classification to be added in is if: - Atkinson changes his mind. - Atkinson loses his position and the new Attorney-General agrees with the other Attorney-Generals - The Act itself is amended in parliament such that only a majority vote is required.
At current, the 2nd option seems to be the most promising.

Ah right, yep - I see. I wasn't quite launching it properly :)
That all said, it looks fantastic running at 2560x1440!
Well, while the site is being hammered, I'll post this here...
Running here on a Mac, the application pops up an error window after the opening text sequence: http://puu.sh/12dax and exits.

Greatly disappointed :(

It used to be that way, but now you just need a Windows Live ID to use MSN Messenger.
A Live ID can be attached to any email - doesn't need to be Hotmail.
That said, I still use my Hotmail address for Messenger... just legacy purposes ;)
Sounds like a great thing and all, but it's not like as if the USA is the only place where the drugs are being sent to.
Unless you're saying ALL countries should legalise drugs?
Hardhead_7 is probably referring to the Prime Infinity's predecessor which uses the same "lapdock".
The obsession is due to it being human nature to see who can topple over who's the top.
The iPad is the market leader - people want to see who can bring an end to Apples domination over tablet sales.

No, exporting is.
... but, if he mods it so it has motion, then it's not going to fit in his garage any more. It will need to be housed somewhere else.
Will that make it lose it's "prestige" of being a homebrew simulator once it's out of there?
A conscientious driver might not be the type to get into accidents that would cause the air bag to deploy anyway?
That said... left knee on the 7 o'clock position all the way!

I'd imagine that most schools won't allow a person to bring a Netbook in school in place of a graphics calculator. Especially during a test.
Zombie Nicola Tesla, perhaps.

To further keep things informative..

This new wallpaper will be what will line the walls in Microsoft with at least 2 layers in Steve Ballmers office.
global cooling? Why would we want to prevent that? It's pretty damn hot here and would welcome the colder days anyday!
