    what rubbish, is this designed to console yourself and your fellow americans that you will lead the world forever? china and india are: " too big to form networks."? what total rot. china is well networked with it's region including economies such as Australia and New Zealand (to which it has FTA with, oh and by the way we, in Australia, value our FTA with china more than the one with the U.S. the U.S. could never see the big picture and isn't interested in doing anything that falls outside it's own self interests) india and china are heavily networked, even to members of this glorious "transatlantic civilization" to which you claim the U.S is a leader of. i bet the next 50 years holds a metaphorical bucket-of-ice-water to the face for you. i bid you good day.

    i disagree,
    people are only complacent on issues in Australia because:

    A. they don't care
    or
    B. when big brother goes to far, we'll kick his arse

    and i can tell some of the people posting don't actually go outside their little basement, because all the information they have on other countries seems to have been gathered online....

    (and as much as i love you americans, you guys really have no idea about the rest of the world, and Australia has little in common with the Australian stories posted on /.)

  25. Re:Whats wrong with this picture? on U.S. Firms Take on Australia's CSIRO Over Patents · · Score: -1

    Could this be the loophole many have been looking for to get all those wide reaching, stupid patents we all hate and read about, dismissed?

    so your saying the CSIRO's patent is wide? and should be nullified because its evil? (i disagree) or are you saying that a non-american getting a broad 'unfair' patent is stimulus for reform?
