That wasn't the problem - it was the retaining of the current constitution. It was set up by John Howard to fail. We are only marginally more of a democracy than the US. As long as we have an effective two party stranglehold on politics in this nation is cannot be representative. What really needs to happen is a banning of political parties in the senate so it becomes what it was originally envisaged to be, that is a house of review. Then we wouldn't need even a ceremonial president. but then I'm an idiot for not voting for what a group of politicians with views almost diametrically opposed to me, wanted.
Only because the alternative was to become a subject of someone the politicians chose. SHUDDER! The wouldn't even consider changes to the actual constitution, only the preamble (not a legally binding document.) What we need is a good revolution, might work for Scotland too.
This is basically a reaction by a Goverment scared of big swings to the opposition in other state elections and the emerging strength of a nationalistic bunch of rednecks called One Nation. For the conservative branch of Australian politics, the ironically named Liberal party, this is an effort to appear pro-family. It's an easy target and with no freedoms built into our constitution (Australians are crown subjects, not citizens) there is little recourse such as an American citizen would have access to. The only good thing I can think of is that it is highly unlikely that the authorities will prosecute except in politically expedient cases. sigh
Read what he said again - he does not believe. Agnostics are people who believe in some force guiding things, they're just unsure who. He stated he does not believe in find it necessary to have an opinion one way or the other, ipso facto he does not believe and is an atheist.
Actually a number of the things that you mention where invented by people working for governments. Or by individuals. Corporations merely handled the refining and marketing.
This wouldn't have any effect at all - it's a 2 stroke, so no engine braking. probably the best way to brake this thing is by scrubbing of speed by slipping the tyres sideways.
We'll you shouldn't be - you still haven't paid your back membership. Oh and you might remember that the majority of corporate interests that WIPO backs are American corporate interests.
Actuall he means registered for use in Japan. They have a blanket 180kph speed limiter. They also have a limit of 206kW applied to engines - doesn't stop them from making some hugely powerful and highly torqued cars - try driving a nissan skyline GTR or GTS before you claim magical abilityies for your Chev.
Sorry but that's not true - provided you can show good reason for it you will not be charged for speeding - in Australia (very similar laws to the UK) the police are required to ask you if you had a reason for speeding, if you can show just cause they cannot ticket you. The other answer is to do what I do and go motorbike riding with cops - frequently double the speed limit (where conditions and sense allows it) and no danger of being ticketed.
What part of the law states that you must have insurance on anything you own. He is not asking the music producers to cover anything - he's actually requiring the people who licenced the music to him (the record labels distribution arm) to replace the lost media at a cost not including the copyright component. He has already paid this licence and should not under any reasonable circumstances be expected to pay again.
And these are the artist who are not represented by Major labels. They usually have a distibution network based on promotion in clubs and smaller affiliated, specialist distributors. Also as their music is entirely digital no studio time is needed. They simply record the master straight to CDR. Oh, and a great many of them do perform live.
It may be a theory but not a fact - if that where the case there would have been no innovation or invention prior to IP laws. Also the soviet union using a completely different legal/govenmental structure would never have made any advances in medical fields. That is provably not the case. Don't mistake theory and fact. It is all too common in soft sciences like economics.
It's not suprising that MS is bitching about Broadband - They got severely dissed by Telstra for not delivering on a service agreement last year. It was their biggest site in the souther hemisphere and one of the biggest in the world. And Telstra said that basically their software was shit. So no real suprises there. The Australian government and business are both lacking when it comes to IT initiative - but that isn't going to change any time soon. Business wants the government to pay for everything and investors are used to mining investment where they can make their money back by fleecing the public. Add to that the fact that IT professionals in Australia routinely head overseas (Asia or Britain) where they can earn serious money and avoid the short sighted policies of Australian management weened on 80's techniques. Hot-desking being a current fave. Fun all round
And what about when you want to brake and use the throttle at the same time? This technique is used under a variety of cicumstances. On motorbikes honda recently decided to install a system which tied the front and rear brakes together. No longer could you touch the rear brake lightly to stabilize the bike in a high speed corner. My point - if it's not already obvious - is that by limiting the users options of control you are making decisions that limit the absolute level of control that any user can demonstrate. Just because you can make it simpler doesn't mean you should.
Which is all the more impressive considering that we have a preferential voting system to boot. That would make a much bigger difference than any change in the manual process.

Nor does apple - and all of those products bar icab (AFAIK)are available on Windows. Sadly most of them run far better on 2000 than Macs due to better memory management and multitasking.
Let me ask you a question: Can you name any instance in which a corporation legally violated an individual's rights (not positive rights, I don't acknowledge that those exist) except through operation of government? Your question is nonsensical - as the governments role as the framer of those rights, no-one else could empower a corporation to do so. You suffer from the all too common problem of separating the people from the government, they are in concept, if not in practice, one and the same thing. The governments role is to represent ALL the people, whilst a corporation is there to represent its shareholders. Making government accountable is not automatically the same as making it smaller.
I remember seeing a video of Apple working on this about 5 years ago. Part of the original 'vision' behind the Newton was based on this. Needless to say it hasn't worked yet...
You can buy chips at Vegas casinos with credit cards and then return them for cash. That seems like money to me. I know that it works because someone racked up a $20 000 debt on a friends card using that method. She only found out when the FBI called her. But then that was nasty American hackers ripping off poor Australians, so it never got reported;)

Not true - OEM installs are available to any one who sets themselves up as such. I used to resell PCs and I bought these from a small OEM supplier who built them to my specs. The windows install supplied was an OEM only variety (very handy would work as an upgrade or a full install without requiring entry of the product id until the user logged on). The same supplier would also happily sell me either naked machines or machines with linux/bsd pre-installed. They charged $5 for a linux pre-install and supplied a 3 disc set with it - and this was 4 years ago.
2)b. It's not - that title belongs to Sweden, after the last reports the US was about 7th on the list.
2)c. It doesn't - most european countries and several asian ones do better.
