I agree with some of the other posters that have said we should be focussing on reducing power consumption. Things like AMD's Cool 'n Quiet are a step in the right direction, but we need a return to the days when you could get by with passive cooling. (pre IBM PC, and early laptops)

No, it's no different to using an iPod in Australia.
and only because there is currently no legal way to use either of them in Australia, because in all the "harmonising" with US copyright law, we get all the DMCA type crap and none of the fair use rights that Americans enjoy, because ARIA et al want it both ways.
Having said that, the police do not waste time here breaking down people's doors because they taped the footy off the TV or made a copy of their Crowded House CD to listen to in the car.
It's morally very different to burning Windows CDs to give your friends, or pirating games, both of which are illegal everywhere.
Never mind that, I just want Roy & HG without the time difference.
Currently, the Channel 9 feed via Foxtel Satellite gives me several seconds delay, between the commentary, and the action described happening on the screen.
I get told about what just happened, just before it happens - it's really surreal.
Actually, in NSW they are often outside schools. every school has a 40km/h zone that operates only during certain hours on schooldays. There is nothing other than a notice under the speed limit sign telling you what the times are to tell you whether the reduced limit applies or not.
Other states have flashig lights to tell you when the school zone is operating.
In NSW it is apparently more profitable to put in a radar trap to catch out the unwary.
Printing your photos at a photo lab is still generally cheaper than printing them yourself, but if you have kids who want to do school assignments that need to be printed in colour, with pictures, graphs, etc, it's convenient to do that at home.
Maybe they were trying to revive a dead parrot

Only if you have an intelligent bus driver. I actually once got my day ticket refused at Marylebone by an ignoramus bus driver because my ticket had the London Underground logo on it and not the bus one. I went back and used the Tube instead.
JERRY: Well, come on George, I'll help you push it across.
GEORGE: Wait a minute. This looks familiar. This reminds me of something. I can do this.
JERRY: By yourself?
GEORGE: Jerry, I've been preparing for this moment my entire life.
George pushes the machine onto the street. From a view in the sky, we see him dodging cars, hopping back and forth into lanes of traffic. Frogger music and sound effects play.
SHLOMO: He looks like a Frog.
SLIPPERY PETE: So do you.
George makes it across just as a huge truck comes barreling down the street. George tries to get the Frogger onto the sidewalk, but can't. He futilely sticks his hand out trying to stop the truck which honks. George jumps out of the truck's way and onto the sidewalk as the Frogger is smashed.
Wouldn't something like this violate the test of being obvious? It doesn't really do anything new or novel. I guess in the US that never stopped anyone before, but in the rest of the world (and there is one, you know, at least for now) this might have trouble being accepted for a patent.
You're totally right, and I meant that none had been successful against my home network.
but it's relatively easy for me, since there are only three people authorised on my home network, and one of them is me, and all of them have passwords.
Don't kid yourself that Linux boxes are not targetted.
I should show you my/var/logs/system.log some time. At least twice a day some zombie out there tries my ssh port with a string of likely usernames (common first names, redhatuser, admin, etc). It's trying to find boxes with passwordless logins. I don't have any of those, and this is why. People who do have them get their boxes Pwnd just as easily as if they were running Windows 95.
There hasn't been a successful one of these yet (not using this method anyway). but they must catch out some.
In the year of '39 assembled here the Volunteers In the days when the lands were few Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn The sweetest sight ever seen.
And night followed day And the storytellers say That the score brave souls inside For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried.
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away Don't you hear me calling you Write your letters in the sand For the day I take your hand In the land that our grandchildren knew.
In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue The Volunteers came home that day And they bring good news of a world so newly born Though their so heavily weigh For the earth is old and grey, to a new home we'll away But my love this cannot be For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year Your mother's eyes in your eyes cry to me.
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away Don't you hear me calling you All the letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
For my life Still ahead Pity Me.

He never said it was a nuke, just a bomb, and it spoke volumes about the attitude of the French that they could carry out a terrorist act in another country just to stop bad publicity. IIRC it was a photographer who died. Two French agents were caught and charged with murder. They eventually got sent back to France. Pity New Zealand stopped hanging people decades ago, they would have been deserving candidates.

Better idea, send them all our dropbears.
I couldn't count the times I've been in games and murdered people and stolen their weapons.
Oh wait... those weren't real people?

The advantage with this method is you can only be fragged once - or is that a disadvantage?

'39
In the year of '39 assembled here the Volunteers
In the days when the lands were few
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen.
And night followed day
And the storytellers say
That the score brave souls inside
For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried.
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew.
In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue
The Volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news of a world so newly born
Though their so heavily weigh
For the earth is old and grey, to a new home we'll away
But my love this cannot be
For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes in your eyes cry to me.
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
All the letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
For my life
Still ahead
Pity Me.

Yes, but this time the French are doing it in their own country, not on the other side of the world - now that it doesn't doesn't explode and all....
