Australian Federal Opposition Leader and extreme right-wing conservative Tony Abbott has been vocally opposed to the construction of Australia's National Broadband Network (a national fibre optic network), despite the fact that this position lost them the federal election last year.
363 days a year - not quite. It stopped working the day daylight savings starts and is still broken.. and will be until Apple releases a patch. One month and counting..
Instead of setting them forward one 1 hour, you could just not use recurring alarms. Just re-enable the alarm before you go to bed for the following morning. That's what I've been doing for the last month.
I saw Windows Phone 7 demoed in the keynote at Tech Ed Australia this year, and as most of the audience it was a great big "who cares". Nothing revolutionary, ugly UI. They even demoed four WM7 applications which had been developed, all of which were your standard application which sources data from a website and displays it for the phones UI. You could tell in their voices they were trying to make it sound exciting, but it's nothing iPhone/Android doesn't already have.
I was about to write a lengthy reply to deetoy's inaccuracies, but you saved me the effort!
One thing to add.. "Tony is offering us a free market choice".. no, Tony is offering $6b to go to "private sector" which basically means Telstra, a combined wholesaler and retailer. The NBN is a government owned wholesale-only business who already has 4 retailers signed up - all of whom are offering FTTH plans at faster speeds and similar price to ADSL2 plans.
An even simpler solution is that all those 2-petrol-car households become 1-electric-car / 1-petrol-car households. Sure, it won't reduce independence on oil, but to cut it by nearly 50% is a good start.
I don't think anyone literally expects a single 1% area to be covered by solar panels and for this to be the sole worldwide energy generator. It was more an indication of the amount of energy hitting the earth's surface and what little amount of this energy we use.
Ferry routes which are part of a longer highway route as often referred to as part of the highway - "sea highways" or "virtual highways" are common terms.

A great example of how they were not "just making up shit as they went along". This runway was being built early in season 3.
Also a good example of someone who "doesn't get it" complaining about the show.
Are you sure you don't have that the other way around? Wikipedia admins think that a one off joke about Wikipedia is NOT notable enough to warrant a whole article. It seems they are placing Wikipedia's self importance at a lower level than what those creating the article do?
Wikipedia used that format (sub-pages) originally - and soon changed.
Does the article about "History of Australia" come under the History article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History/Australia) or Australia? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia/History/)
In your example, what category would Isaac Newton go under? Science or history?
That's where you ignore the request. They contact you and ask about it "I don't know what you're talking about... I don't use Facebook.. must be someone else". (relies on your profile picture only being visible to friends)
Slashdot Mirror
What? Herald Sun and Daily Telegraph are reputable sites now? :-O
Holy shit, don't tell Malcolm Turnbull!
True.. some successful business people even thought so... for example ... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0453009212?ie=UTF8&tag=chsbl04-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0453009212

Anyway, he is at it again.. using the floods to score cheap political points - http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/372807/floods_show_need_nbn_rethink_abbott/
And public opinion of this stunt isn't good! http://twitter.com/search#search?q=tony%20abbott%20nbn
Perhaps they should log in, disable the notifications, and then never see them again?

.. but IMDb includes straight to video, straight to television, TV shows, and computer games in their database without a problem.
Michael Bolton is dead??
You know, you could have just gone by "Mike".

Argh.
"won't reduce independence" -> "won't eliminate dependence"
An even simpler solution is that all those 2-petrol-car households become 1-electric-car / 1-petrol-car households. Sure, it won't reduce independence on oil, but to cut it by nearly 50% is a good start.
So I'm assuming you don't complain about the result then?
Leisure Suit Larry had the right idea!

This is like asking if New Zealand is part of Australia
That's another kettle of fish completely, since Australia more often refers to the country, not the continent.
New Zealand is part of Australasia or Oceania.
"kilo-" is an SI prefix means 1000.
"kilobyte" is a word that means 1024 bytes. Totally unrelated to the SI units.
"Miles" isn't 1000 es's is it?
"Decadence" doesn't refer to 10 dences does it?
It's amazing how many people have been suckered in by the hard drive manufacturers.
We already have examples of employers that demands access to prospective worker's Facebook accounts in real life.
We do? Is that legal? Easy answer: "I don't have a facebook account". It's none of their damn business.
