How dare they supply us with the means to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources, help us get energy security, reduce our carbon footprint, do it cheaper than we can do it for ourselves, and probably lend us the money to do it.
The point of moving it to the UN is that its harder for them to *try* to corrupt it to any one nations exclusive advantage (they have to fight each other).
And it doesnt matter which overload is trying to oppress the internet, they wont succeed in the long run because the internet empowers individuals more than their masters, all they can do is escalate the arms race.
Its just a matter of time until something better for the majority replaces DNS.
Imagine if I turned up to a job interview and said "employ me - my education was built round the ZX81 microcomputer - so I am the person for your job!"
My first computer had a Z80 in it, i tried to teach myself assembler on it.
Because people over 35 haven't played games as a kid.
People like you are the cause of the problem, politicians generalise like you and think only kids play computer games so there is no need for 18+ computer game rating.
Because people over 35 haven't played games as a kid.
So hundreds of thousand of years ago, children didnt play hide and seek ?
Oh wait, you meant computer game, like PONG, or galaga, or asteroids, pacman, frogger, yea, nobody of 35 ever played them...
You younglings dont understand, you havent played a computer game unless youve played it standing up with crowds of strangers looking over your shoulder.
Rob Oakshot was elected as an independent in the previous election (in 2008), so they had a couple of years to judge him by his deeds irrespective of his words. Im not familiar with his campaign and if he did lead them to think he was conservative.
Im sure he thinks hes doing the right thing for his electorate, Abbott had his chance to bargin with him and he failed.
As it stands he is proabably the most influential MP the electorate has ever had. He has at least got the NBN started early in his electorate for one thing.
If members of Lyne feel hard done by, then from where i sit (Wannon, >60 years of coalition MPs) it looks like sour grapes.
disciplined two of the officers for using "unreasonable judgment" in arresting Glik
The city fight tooth and nail, doing everything it can purely to defend the officers judgment, they must be a very noble bunch of people to be so selfless in defending the actions of their employees.
Ohwait, could it be they where really trying defend their own actions as well as the officers. Hmm... na, that doesnt make sense, if that was the case they would have taken their share of the blame.
So... the governments bad because there are 3 rich people and our transmission lines are being upgraded ?
"The price increases have many drivers, the biggest of which to date have been the massive investment in transmission and distribution networks and movements in the wholesale markets driven by drought and the mining boom. The increased network investment is driven by general demand growth, surging peak demand, higher reliability standards and ageing legacy networks." - http://www.jtsolar.com.au/news/why_electricity_is_so_expensive.html
Hey, but dont let the truth and objectivity get in the way of a crazy anti-government rant.
And no im not going try and explain why democracy is important and how it works on this forum, if you havent worked it out for yourself i dont think i can do a good enough job.
Yes i was referring to the $900 dollars that they bought their votes with, which every one spent on a flat screen from Korea.
I thought that was $500, but if they did it to buy votes, they are failers, because it happened just after an election, not just before. Do you remember the family payment Howard granted shortly before calling an election for a similar amount (not the $5000 baby bonus), there where lots of overpayments, when questioned about reclaiming the money in the elcetion campain, he stated "its too late now", meaning its too close to the election.
Not that a tax free threshold for an incredibly slim number of the population (how many people do you know that earn under $18000?) isn't great.
You need to learn more about the tax system, everyone who earns over the $18000 gets the full $1500 benefit every year.
Pensioners have done well by Labour, they didnt get a real wage rise in 10 years under howard, pensioners get enough to live on nowadays.
Labor has increased funding to hospitals by %50 or something, fat abbott was the scrouge to them.
It is hard to keep up with politics, if you watch Q&A (mondya night) and Insiders (sunday morning) both on ABC, your off to a good start.
I know libs are good financially, but i dispise the extremes they go to get have all that extra money, it may well be that you should be Libs, its better than not voting at all.
Our international reputation was damage due to all the boat people talk, the race riots that happened in sydney, our neighbours labeled us the US's deputy sheirif because we ran around doing their bidding in the region. We farmed out our problems to them, cut back on aid, probably other stuff.
If you really want privacy use encryption, vpn (to a "safe" country?), tor, whatever, pay for it with bitcoins.
There are benefits to pervasive surveillance;
- Its hard to have a false identiy if you dont have a real one, try and throw away the false identity, not the real one.
- If you looking for a needle dont put it in a haystack, the more "normal" traffic they capture, the further the target sinks into the noise.
More than a few years ago worked for a company who made this sort of equipment (claimed to be of the two best), the story at the time was that not much sold in Australia (as opposed to the US and Europe). The issue was if there wasnt much deep packet inspection in Aus, or maybe they bought equipment from someone else.
But it doesnt really matter what nation the equipment is in, the internet doesnt respect borders. That means they can capture your data as it goes through the US/Europe, and with their "Intelligence sharing" agreements its all ok.
Integration of major government agencies - Medicare, Centrelink, DHS, CRS is a huge waste of money
Good reform.
Can't stop the boats
(they takin our jaaabs?) Howard solved the problem by making everyone HATE us and think we are all racists, is that the sort of govenrment you want back ?
I think the Malaysia deal would have been good, but Libs wont sign up for that because they have their corrupt backroom deals to shovel heaps of money to Narau.
School 'building' scheme was a real waste of money in many places. Heart is in the right place, governance and oversight isn't
Batts - Wonderful idea, very bad execution. A real rort in many areas. Bad governance.
I still dont see how its the governments fault that their are bad tradesman. Do you have figures of how much of it was waste ?
Carbon Tax
RTD tax
Agree, do gooders dont get it.
Labour signed ACTA
Probably their biggest mistake, almost as bad as the FTA with the USA that forces us to implement some of their stupid laws. I wish they would run these things past Scott Ludlum;)
What has the labour party actually done apart from give us a one time tax break and take rights away from the people left right and centre?
One time tax break, which one are you refering to, the $500 handout ?
I know Labour is increasing the tax free threashhold from $6,000, to $18,000, a $1500 tax break every year.
What rights have they taken away, the greens are better than both libs and labour of that is your main concern.
Personally i think we were much better off 10 years ago
Because of the GFC.
I dont vote for who my parents vote for, i think for myself, my views are very much in the minority in my electorate.
You tell me not to belittle liberals and claim im into group polarisation, yet you bag Labour and dont get them any credit for good things they have done. NBN not even on your radar ?
Slashdot Mirror
It is the basic human condition to seek and share what you you love.
Even in Australia, or would you have us give that up ?
And thats after we have paid 30% more for the TV, DVD player and whatever other hardware we buy.

... might have noticeable impacts on local to regional weather and climate
In other news, jumping up and down on the spot might have noticable impacts on the temperature in your imediate area.
Does it imact global weather and climate, who cares... weve already been paid.
Maths/science doesnt lie, it just decieves people with unstated and misleading assumptions
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature_versus_nurture
the American ones are far worse at 50% denial or so.
How to make sense of that given so many in the US believe in Jesus and Aliens, you would think Global warming was a lot more believable.
Hmm, maybe turn Global warming movement into a big cult that uses telemarketing to beg for money, then maybe it would catch on in the US.
They should just let the telescope decide.
Wont sombedy just think of the telescopes.
Imagine if I turned up to a job interview and said "employ me - my education was built round the ZX81 microcomputer - so I am the person for your job!"
My first computer had a Z80 in it, i tried to teach myself assembler on it.
Should i be ashamed of that now ?
Comprehension is hard for some, i should have boken it down to simple bullet points to help with the logic, and no more than 5 lettter words.
Where did I say gaming was for kids?
Where did i say you said gaming was for kids ?
Where did I say I was against the 18+ rating?

I said the problem was people generalising, you do it like the politicians do.
Because people over 35 haven't played games as a kid.

They back-stab by being voted in on a conservative platform by their electorate, and then jumping ship to back the Labor party.
You mean slipper ?
Coalition practically drove him out of his party, blame the elected coalition MP's for that.
"It's not like she was elected PM"
Care to elaborate... Which independent backstab who and how ?
She was elected by the parliment, australian voters elected the parliment, how is that not elected ?
