DOes this. Canberra has several hundred thousand people, and all those who live in suburbs with electricity on poles can get fibre to their house. It carries broadband internet and Cable TV. Don't know what the cost is
Minis (the original kind) have a front subframe that holds everything and unbolts from the body in one go. I used to compete in Motorkhanas (in a complete mini) against these two guys who had attached enough framework to an old mini subframe to gve them a place to put a seat, and strong enough to provide two wheels at the back to keep it off the ground. That was it. Would have been good for drag racing too if they hadn't locked out all the gears except 1st, 2nd & reverse (selecting 4th by mistake can cost precious seconds when you are trying to garage at the end of a test)
One of the biggest problems for any consultant on projects is "scope creep". A good project manager will ensure that the client gets all that he has paid for, and no more. If the fee wasn't enough - too bad. The consuitant loses. If it was accurate or generous, he makes some money.
What the original poster is describing is the "extra mile" above and beyond the agreed scope. Consultants who do this for free too much go broke.
Sometimes though, if the fee was generous and the client is a regular, it's worth it to keep their business.
We aren't talking about saving the world or doing good deeds here. we are talking about business.
The Australian Tax Office (and The UK Inland Revenue, I think) were recently criticised for security issues in their free tax software. This despite the fact that you have to jump through several hoops to download it, and provide lots of ID verification before you can upload your return.
Does anyone know what this Swiss one does to protect people's personal details?
Sydney too, since the Olympics, but not on buses, only trains, and then only at the major stations. Plus the London Tube ones have a real estimate, I think, not just a timetable based one. Here you have the sign telling you that it is now 5:32, the train was due at 5:25 and it is coming in 0 minutes with no sign of a train.
My favourite is the Egyptian, "Ptenisnet". In Asterix, The Legionary, he gives his name in Egyptian and the speech balloon actually has a little net hieroglyphic.
I've mentioned this in response to another story, but the system that my builder used has a master key, but once you use your own key, the master key no longer works. I think something falls out or breaks off inside. This means they can give master keys to contractors without creating problems for homeowners later.
I am running Windows 2000 (Hey it's a work machine - I have no choice) I have Ghostscript and Ghostgum and with these I can create PDFs without needing Acrobat - just print to a postscript file and convert.
UK has the tarrif, which is why you can buy blank CDs for data use, and ones for audio use that include the tarrif and cost more. Of course, no-one buys the audio ones once they work out they are basically the same as the cheaper data ones.
When my house was built, all the external locks were installed with a system that allows the builder to use his master key in them, until the owner inserts his own key, which disables the part that recognises the builder's key forever.
I'm not sure how this works, but it means the builder can issue keys to his subcontractors without creating security issues for the homeowner later.
Plus the same master key can work in all the builder's current projects.
Actually Song of the South has aired regularly here in Australia on the Disney Channel. I think you can even rent the video. It was completely unavailable for a long time though.
It sounds like a nice theory, but Hurricanes and the like release a lot of energy. I remember reading (sorry don't nhave a reference) that storms are like a "safety valve" for the atmosphere - a means of releasing energy that would otherwise accumulate.
Could we, by suppressing regular hurricanes, inadvertently cause a catastrophic super storm that would wipe out low lying pacific islands and level countries?
As an analogy, Here in Sydney there used to be regular controlled burning of the surrounding bushland (which penetrates deeply into some suburbs) When the green lobby and others succesfully prevented controlled burning in urban bushland for a time, the result was the catastrophic 1994 fires.
Now the controlled burning has resumed and, while bushfires still happen (like last December) they generally don't do as much damage as they otherwise might
Hopefully this technology can overcome the situation my wife found herself in, after being prescribed a series of drugs that weren't compatible. This despite the doctor having a complete record. We don't go to that doctor anymore...
You are entirely right, and that fact was the whole point of their existence.
They were created to prove that with the right marketing and promotion (and a bit of controversy) you could dish up absolute tripe and turn it into a cultural phenomenon. Hence the movie "The Great Rock & Roll Swindle."
Add to this CBA and Bankwest, both of which work fine in Mozilla, provided you don want the flash bits to load (and let face it, who does? theýre only ads anyway)
I seem to recall that the FBI agents have been charged with unauthorised access to a computer system in Russia, and would be arrested if they went there. Does anyone have a link for this?

Sydney is less depressing and relatively safe...
apart from the tennis ball sized hailstones, the tree felling thunderstorms, the bushfires and the flooding...
I'll stop now
So now those broken packets will have to come from somewhere else?
(other than Mars?)
That's true, just ask any white former farmer from Zimbabwe.

The labourer is due his hire.
It's the changing pressure that produces the electricity You have to have a way of moving the rock up and down.
I did once, but I think I got away with it...
Anyone who has seen a Tudor or earlier house England knows that the way to make a house last is to throw away the plumb bob and the set square
