Exact Audio Copy. How rude is it to put out music on something that cannot be copied for personal use? Personal copies eg cassette tape, minidisk, MP3, for car CD player, are legal in Australia.
MOD chips on the playstation were only good for circumvention. Sony itself released a linux pack for the PS/2, so running linux is definitely not an argument.
The PS and PS/2 modchips basically allow pirated game discs to be played, without any other real use. The XBox case might be handled differently.
Wasn't DVD region coding an issue? I seem to remember that being the ACCs argument for the mod chips around the time of the original decision.
Another advantage is that no teacher could ever ask;
What was the authors motivation in writing this particular poem?
For male human poets, I'm betting the answer is pretty much exclusively "to be able to get beautiful women into bed";)
Although I'm not so completely sure about the author of this article (he's an Aussie journalist who's got a reputation for cluelessness at times), this naming situation looks pretty suckful. When I was looking at motherboard ads the other day, they all said "USB2.0" and nothing else.
I noticed, buried deep in my digital camera manual (Canon A70) words to the effect of "not guaranteed to work with USB 2.0 connections". Doesn't really inspire confidence in the whole thing, really. Thank goodness for flash card readers...
If they implement this well, it should be a great game. Assault was one of the most missed features when UT2003 came out, so I'm not that surprised to see it back. If the upgrade price from UT2003 is reasonable, it should be a hit.
According to George Costanza, the best way to fake it is to look and act annoyed. And, quite honestly, it works. Just sigh a lot and run your hands trough your hair (or lack thereof). People always think that you're working hard if you're annoyed.
If it was possible to achieve "teleportation" by completely replicating a human at the destination end, and then killing the original source, would this be morally acceptable?
As you said, 5.1 is Front left/right/center, rear left/right and LFE (low frequency effects)
7.1 is front left/right/center, back left/right (on the back wall facing towards the audience) and rear left/right (on the side walls, but close to the back, rather than in the middle) and LFE.
It might make a difference in a movie theater, but probably not worth the upgrade for a home setup.
If you're that worried about giving out your email address, why not use one of the disposable email address providers such as sneakemail . Then you can create a brand spanking new address for sage, and if they start sending you junk, just set it to block any mails they send.
What I'm about to ask is really off-topic, but I don't get much opporunity to learn about how other countries work. Registerred voters were fined for not voting? Are they allowed to vote 'none of the above'?
Actually, yes. As long as you turn up to a polling place and have your name ticked off, what you put on the piece of paper (eg nothing), is up to you.
Well, he does have a point. Microsoft has never released a new version of software solely to fix bugs, which is what the article talks about. They release service packs for that, and they tend to work.
Hmm. I still seem to remember DOS 6.2 being pretty much a bug fix for DOS6.0.
Actually, yes. I managed to talk ODBC from a PHP script running under Apache to a PostgreSQL backend. This was under Redhat 7.3, just using the provided RPMs. Look into the unixODBC and postgresql-odbc packages. Getting the config files set up properly was the biggest thing, but after that it was a piece of cake.
Look in the information sheets section on copyright.org.au
Particularly the "Copying CDs tapes and records" and "TV Programs: home taping", and "Videos: home taping" ones. Pretty dire reading, unfortunately. Each one basically says "You can't copy without explicit permission, unless it's for the purposes of study, or the government".
Certainly puts the letter of the law at odds with the way it's observed
Well, I've never tried complaining to my representatives yet, but I think I'm about to start now. Between this and the proposed new tax on blank media, enough is enough...
Australia already has an equivalent of the DMCA, in terms of circumventing access controls and so on. In Australia, there are no fair use clauses for duplicating your own CDs (except software), or even for videotaping from TV. And now this, which will just hamper ISPs and make it cost more for them to do their job. Typical weak Aussie government bending to the slightest hint of international pressure. On these rare occasions, I wish I lived in a country that valued individual freedom a bit more highly compared to corporate interests.
It should be noted that there is no fair use exclusion for NZers - any copying of music, even just backing up your CDs or creating a compliation disk from legally-purchased disks is illegal.
Actually, it's not legal to back up CDs or create a compilation disk in Australia either. I can't find the reference for this right now, but I've definitely read it in a computer mag here.

That is a BIG error. Almost as big as those really fake looking pads Angelina is wearing under her tank-top.
Actually, I read somewhere that she dropped the padded bra for the second movie.
Maybe that's the reason for the lack of popularity?

Even tech literate Aussies don't seem to know this, but we already adopted our own DMCA-alike.
See here for details.

Practical demonstration here
When does he get out of jail?
That's not as funny as you think in the light of this. Copying CD's without the copyright holder's permission is illegal in Australia.
Yeah, I believe Australia also drives on the right side as well.
Our steering wheels are on the right side of the car, but we drive on the left side of the road
Yes, but unfortunately you forgot to obscure it in your quote of his original text. Oops ;-)
Or an Eminem song ;)

Yeah, I've had a look, but I'm already signed up with sneakemail and it does all I need. But if it works for you, that's great!

As for workload managers...
How about this
I think some of the advanced versions of VMWARE might handle partitioning needs too...

This works well, except that sometimes the mailing lists can be spammed too (eg lists which don't require subscribtion to post).
Is there a PostgreSQL driver for it?
Actually, yes. I managed to talk ODBC from a PHP script running under Apache to a PostgreSQL backend. This was under Redhat 7.3, just using the provided RPMs. Look into the unixODBC and postgresql-odbc packages.
