Not only had this better not see one red penny of taxpayer money
Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but it sounds like they are just allowing them to pay less tax. Its not like they are giving them the actual dollar notes from your tax.
If people want to build these things and run them with private money, even for a profit, I don't care. But the second you start taking my money to proselytize your religion, I get VERY agitated.
How many of the dozen or so open minded atheists do you think are going to willingly walk through the gates? Are you planning to go and get proselytized? Like the theme or not, this is going to influence believers not unbelievers.
I know for a fact that neither Senator Conroy nor anyone in his office ever read any of my emails.
I know this because they replied to each one (eventually) with some form letter that addressed none of the issues I'd raised and was often very wide of the mark. In fact that's pretty standard for everything I sent the Rudd/Gillard government.

Maybe he's just not that good with computers? If computing were easy, I'd go looking for something different to do. On the other hand, I do love it when there's a device / OS / application that just works well and is easy enough for someone like my mum to just "get it".
You might be right, but my concept of mind maps (and I shamelessly copied the wording from Wikipedia) is that a mind map "is based on radial hierarchies and tree structures denoting relationships with a central governing concept". You might be thinking of a Concept Map:

Mindmap?
Its a nice idea, but Mindmaps are really a hierarchy and datacentres aren't really. Lets say you started with your Datacentre in the middle and you had a bunch of branches for the racks and a bunch of branches for the switches. The servers in the racks need to connect to the switches as well.
The model doesn't fit that well.

The guy took photos of naked children. The mood in Australia, as I read it, was that it was entirely unacceptable to everyone except a few art snobs. It was sneaky in that the guy exploited a loophole to hurt children and make child porn. Just because you call an immoral act "art", doesn't stop it being an immoral act.

I've seen lots of video of them under ideal scenarios.
Let's get some crash video! :)
Hydroplaning, black ice, big potholes, road debris, silver-hairs stomping on the brakes, et cetera.
Should be entertaining, if disconcerting, to say the least.
I'd like to know what they do in a couple of non-ideal scenarios... kernel panic, BSOD
that's faster than a lot of people are able to jog at.
Great, so when it hits a bug and I need to reboot it I'll have to get in the car if I want to catch it.
The OP might have been stretching the truth:
> One of Australia's largest government technology buyers, the Tasmanian Department of Education
With a population of 507K (10% less than Wyoming), Tasmania is not quite top tier in the Government Departments department.

Really? Why do I keep pouring petrol into my tank.
Two Words: Nuclear Fucking Weapons, OK?
> dressing up as a dinosaur should do the trick
Dorothy's been doing that for years and all she ever found was roses and men in skivvies.
so I'll reserve judgement on removing those two buttons until I've played with it.
One thing that strikes me is that a title bar is a lot of screen real estate to dedicate to just a close button.

Yes, agitated, irrational and completely out of control of your dictionary. Try this:

I didn't read TFA. Did they say that God was doing the construction?

Symphony 3 is much better than the original and handles at least some ppts better than OO.o

The land around the lake, which used to be heavy forest has been cut down.
The land has been cut down? Weird
Exploit? I can't see that this is any worse than what the Twitter Web Interface (or any other Twitter interface) was designed to do.

Virgin in the UK used to refuse support until you connected a Mac or Windows box directly. Routers were 'not supported'.
UK Virgin doesn't support routers (pron: rooters) Got it.
Fuck your bosses.
Well, that's one way to get ahead....

> countless conclusions in the scientific literature are erroneous
Number of Publications: Finite
Number of Conclusions: Finite
Time taken to count erroneous conclusions: Finite
Countless Conclusions? I don't think so!
A large but unspecified number of conclusions in the scientific literature are erroneous: Not so compelling
Did he have an approved change request? If not, he's in BIG trouble.
OK, so I thought about it overnight and I think I understand your argument:
(Child "notices" self while brushing hair) = (Total stranger sells naked pictures of child for money to another total stranger)
Please explain why that's morally equivalent, because I don't see that it is the same thing at all.
