  6. Re:has this even passed yet? on Aus. Gov't Considers Fines for Online Suicide Info · · Score: 0

    Has to pass through House of Representatives (lower house) which involves large amounts of debating and refining. Then pass through House of Senate (upper house) which involves the upper house regecting the bill until they like it. Then it gets passes to Governer General (queens representative) for approval, which is almost guaranteed unless its a threat to the thrown.

  7. Re:Responsiblity on Aus. Gov't Considers Fines for Online Suicide Info · · Score: 0

    does the US nessesarily have freedom of speech? I know that legislation says you do, but does that stop censorship and manipulation of the media? p.s. not a flamebait, i'm just interested in the situation and cannot easily get information. We usually get sensationalists or patriots here.

  8. Wait on John Gilmore's Search for the Mandatory ID Law · · Score: 0

    Why is this guy angry? This airline is a business, and as such can have conditions of service. If you refuse to comply, they can refuse you service. As long as they told him prior to purchase that he would require ID then he cannot complain, all he can do is choose another service. but IANAL...

    That value would depend on the distro and its age.

  14. Why? on Saturn's Rings Could be Disappearing · · Score: 1

    Why is it that everybody feels that we must enact change, even when it isn't our place? The erosion of this ring is a natural process and should be allowed to proceed thus. If it was our fault that the erosion is occuring then I could understand the need to fix it, but I don't believe this is the case.

  15. Rethink. on BitTorrent Gives Hollywood a Headache · · Score: 1

    Maybe the licensing schemes need to be re-thought if people have resorted to stealing. Lowering the price could do the trick.
