police have the ability to prosecute the creators of pages that are in breach of Australian laws but appear to be unwilling to use it
...because they know if they do they'll have every whining emo adolescent in Australia constantly on the phone asking them to "do something". Pretty soon the entire system will collapse.
You're missing the point completely: Those things are expensive, high performance and you get to wear biker gear. None of that says "I'm driving this because I don't have much money".
Smart cars are designed to make parking easy in European cities. That's it. That's the design goal. That's why they're as long as a normal car is wide.
I live in Spain. Most of the Smart Cars I see driving around here are company cars with logos on them. Sales reps, that sort of thing. Very few people buy them for themselves, they're way overpriced for what they are.
I've driven one and I wouldn't buy one even if they were cheaper. They drive OK but the suspension's awful for something that's supposed to be a city car.
You're completely off-topic, but to reward your curiosity I'll gladly take the hit to my karma.
It's been demonstrated by the Knight group at the University of Colorado, in mice, that individuals with a very specific immune defect will accrue a specific kind of bacteria (Bacteriodetes) in their intestines. The presence of this bacteria has been shown to cause dramatic weight gain in the host, because of how it modifies the nutrients that are left over in the gut. Transplanting these bacteria into the intestines of healthy mice can cause dramatic weight gain, and it's strongly believed that the same phenomenon occurs in humans.
So how come it doesn't affect other countries with the same genetic stock as the USA? (ie. Most of Europe)
How can they believe that they can control this in a world where highly advanced 3D printing is possible at home? People will just print their own 3D printers that do not have these restrictions.
If they can restrict printing of shapes then they'll just restrict printing of the shapes needed for 3D printers.
It doesn't really even matter if they somehow manage to get this accepted and into the 3D printers...
It matters if all 3D printers have to pay some sort of 'tax' to offset the losses of the big companies. Like we do for SD cards, hard disks....etc. (in some countries)
Why do they need to know? 10,000 years is roughly 20 half-life periods, so they should expect roughly 1-millionth of the DNA to remain.
That would be a problem if you only had one chromosome to work with, yes, but if you've got a few million of them you can put it back together.
It means you can't inject a mammoth nucleus into an elephant egg and expect something to happen but it doesn't mean it can't ever be reconstructed (sometime soon, at the rate we're going...)
I nearly forgot.... make sure to leave at least two feet between the lightning conductor coming down from the roof and any electrostatic sensitive devices.

He could show he means business by putting the "One-click" patent in the public domain and refunding everybody he's sued over it.

It would behoove us to come up with something a little more utilitarian, and a wee bit less subjective.

How about a McLaren T25 instead?
Yes, because three-wheeled cars never sold well in England where they only existed to avoid regulations.
England ain't the USA. Redneck mentality would never allow a small, cheap three wheeler on the road over there.
...unlike all those plastiky American cars. Have you pressed on the rear end of a Corvette recently?

It's not just the buying, it's the fuel/insurance/repairs. Trying to keep a ten-year-old all-American auto on the road is a money pit.
For the same price as a second hand car they could have something they can actually afford to run.
Thus guaranteeing zero sales...

SONY is run by copywrite attorneys
Attorneys are working as copywriters now...?

You can always rotate it and add a few snap-off tabs to fool the DRM.
You could even make two objects at once, joined by a bit of removable plastic. Let's see how the algorithm copes...
Exactly. Malware authors can use this.
Not if everything in the startup chain has to be correctly signed ... something which a malware author can't do.
And that is just one of the excuses we are likely to see when the government ignores the consultation and presses on regardless.
It goes without saying that all the people who objected are probably terrorists and paedophiles.
They're being added to the "extra surveillance" list as I write this.
At one time Einsteins theories weren't testable either and were just neat thought experiments.
There's a difference between "aren't testable using current technology" and "can never be testable with any possible future technology".
Not the senders, the receivers. Many people regard the whois database as a big list of email addresses to spam.

Houses usually have a 2 metre earthing rod shoved in to the ground...
Does that work in very dry places?
Cue lawsuit from "Baby Einstein"...
Also a lab coat, some burnt corks for face-blacking and plenty of hair gel.
Get a chair/floor that molten solder doesn't stick to.
Also, make sure you get a few bunny suits to wear while you're working. You want to look the part, right?
