That depends on those militant Victorians. I can see them invade New South Wales with armoured elephants crossing the Snowy Mountains. It's only a matter of time.....
Gee. Why not wait? Surely according to Darwinian theory, those kangaroos will evolve to be giant griaffe sized herbivores and eat the big grass. It's only a matter of time.....
Yes. Just as an exercise, I banned all US IP4 ranges from an old website I still have access to. US (including the local US Embassy) cannot access the site without some sort of IP spoofing.
Exactly. If they are paying for a monthly service (same price as Sat TV/month) + internet access, then how can they be guilty? The trouble is that all the good criminal lawyers in Oz are vacationing somewhere sunny and warm. Those Chinese users are heading for the slammer + fines + court costs.
Well Waldo was the nickname of one of my girlfriends who used to do kinky things to me. She didn't wear glasses or wear stripy sweaters either. So I wonder what they are actually scanning - the word sound or the memory of the word? Maybe that'll account for those in the 10-20% range who don't register all to well.
it still is an honour to receive such an invitation
I'm not disagreeing with you, but if we think clearly about this, then the 'honor' is just part of a structure that was probably invented by a publishing house to sell the piece in the first place. Sure it adds weight to the paper, if it needs it. There are other supervisory methods anyway. In one case, I've seen a request to referee with only 3 days before the deadline! Personally I don't consider referees as that important. It's the content and synopsis that matters.
*mute* button on the remote control fixes that. We too in Australia have very loud advertisments, mainly about death insurance and funeral insurance. Sometimes car insurance. Oh and bras. Lots of Bra commercials which are entertaining to watch the first 50 or so times. The rest of the time there is a swag of self-pleasuring channel promotions of what's coming next, what's coming after that, why you should switch on and check out the morning show because they've changed the format. Buried in there somewhere is the actual show you wanted to watch. Entertaining and thought provoking shows are getting harder to find as they are being replaced by 'Reality Programs': Voiceover: "Jenny wakes up and goes to the bathroom" (Watch Jenny get up and go to the bathroom) Voiceover: "Jenny's mother is trying to hurry her up so she can get to school on time." (short video of Jenny's mother calling out 'Hurry up Jenny or you will be late for school') Voiceover: "In the confusion of the morning routine, Jenny's mother doesn't see the cat" (short video of mother stepping on the cat 'Meeooow!' goes the cat.) Advertisment: Death insurance. Some poor guy gets interrogated by his slack wife to get insurance in case he dies, so she doesn't have to go out and work after he's dead. Bra advert - By now I've remembered the names of all the models of all 3 ads and I'm looking forward to seeing Elizabeth. Car insurance advert. Fake channel promo in case someone is taping the show and is waiting for the ads to finish. Another channel promo telling me that the reality show will be back on air very soon. Funeral insurance. Pay $3/week and by the time you die, you'll have a coffin and a hole to put it in. You wife too if you want to pay a little more. "It's only the price of a coffee.." A totally pointless channel promo about themselves, just in case you forgot what channel you were watching.

HHGTTG reference me thinks! Anyway, just because he's dead doesn't mean he's out of the picture, he's just a naughty boy. Every Python movie so far has something to do with philosophy or religion. Maybe this will be different.

OTOH Blacklisting the US and forcing US citizens to VPN or IP spoof to access an international site with disclaimers of no sales to the US would be pretty safe. A purchaser would need to have a redirect mail address set up in the country for delivery and payments. That puts the onus on the US citizen and not on the foreign company. If enough companies do that, and 3rd party mechanisms are set up to enable this, then the US Law courts will have nothing to go on. That's like creating international border(s) on a regional level or building a firewall around the US. Outsiders can get in, but restricted access outward. I can see an access denied page that says something like: You have been redirected here as we do not supply items to your country due to your laws. To access the products on this site, you need to have a mailing address and payment from an authorized escrow company operating outside of USA. That could work!
"Roads Must Roll" by Heinlein (1940) was what I thought the future would bring.
The story is set in the near future, when "roadtowns" (wide rapidly moving passenger platforms similar to moving sidewalks, but reaching speeds of 100 mph) have replaced highways and railways as the dominant transportation method in the United States.
Social education isn't new. It is very hidden form of government manipulation and all you need to see it are personal memories. Mine go back to the 60s and I can see it very clearly. And to think otherwise makes you some kind of a freak or other undefined social outcast.
Most big name US guitars are made elsewhere. E.G. there is some kind of law in California that makes it difficult to spray lacquer on bodies. A US made Gibson or Fenders are very expensive and Mexican or Chinese versions are much more affordable. When they were made in Japan (Burny), quality fell. But as you are aware of the Indian rosewood story, you probably know about this anyway. BTW Hostess is bankrupt. Twinkies are illegal in Oz because of the benzene content in the filling.

:( Ignore the price.... It's more like $1,800 and not $200.
Yep. Makerbot also sell their Replicator for around $200. I think this is a 2 colour version (dual print heads) and $48 for the spools.

Interesting stuff to make too!
