Stephen Fielding is the one you're talking about - Xenophon is anti-pokies, and seems to me to be relatively deliberative on other matters, and generally reasonable. Stephen Fielding is a climate change skeptic; Nick Xenophon is not.

Cheers.

AFAICT, then, you want someone cheap and cheerful. Try bluehost.com - They offer a plan with 'unlimited' disk space (on shared hosting) for $7/month. Of course, they bank on the majority of their customers not using anything like what they could. PGSql, MySQL, PHP, Ruby, Python are included in the deal, but they have processes to limit CPU time.

You can host your email through them, or use them as a backup MX.

They seem to me to have rather limited downtime - a guy I work with has only had a period of 3 hours downtime in about 4 months or so.

Read what they're offering - You're saying 10GB of network transfer, but you're saying actual is 300M. That's actually 0.03 * 0.75 = $0.0225

Read the example above the ratecalc if you don't believe me - They actually charge you per token (KB-minute) for disk and RAM.

Unless you're using the KVM option, you're usually doing OK. For example:

You say 1GB of RAM, but you're very unlikely to have that sort of commit set; they're not charging you for I/O cache, unless you're using the KVM virtualised stuff instead of the vserver based infrastructure. So on a typical Apache2 + PHP + PostgreSQL load, you're probably only up to about 200M - So that's actually more like $5/month.

And what are you saying about 15G of storage at the top - that's loads! But they offer you a bunch of preinstalled software that isn't counted in your disk usage, and above that you are only charged as allocated. You don't have to say in advance "I want 15 GB". If you're just using, say 2GB, then it's actually only $2.62.

Now, here's the bad news: the minimum you're up for is $20/month, so that's how they hit you.

There's also openhosting.com, who are sort of expensive, but do give you pretty good service. They essentially give you your own box on a "shared hosting" model. bluehost.com is pretty decent, but have a somewhat limited understanding of what "DNS" means. As long as you only want A or MX records, you can have whatever you want, but go outside the envelope, and you'll have to get your own DNS provider.

It sounds to me like saying that the defendant doesn't have the option of defending the charge might get it torn up, but I know nothing up French law... I know remarkably little about US law, either, since IANAL.

Since there is no article linked in the summary, how long before someone links one in?

Cheers

You may wish to compare copyright schemes - In particular, the EU & AU recognise the so-called "sweat of the brow" right extant in databases, which a timetable would qualify under. Times of football matches also seem to qualify.

The controlling law in Australia is Desktop Marketing Systems Pty Ltd [âoeDtMSâ] v Telstra Corporation Limited [2002] FCAFC 112. At paras 253 & 254:

253 It was not their alphabetical arrangement or their designation as headings that attracted copyright protection to the compilation of headings constituting the Headings Books. Rather, it was the labour of building up the collection (of headings). Desktop appropriated the benefit of all or most of that labour.

254 Accordingly, by parity of reasoning with my reasons for concluding above that Desktop reproduced a substantial part of the White Pages Directories and a substantial part of the Yellow Pages Directories, it also reproduced a substantial part of the Headings Books, and so infringed Telstra's copyright in those Books.

So, under Australian law, you can copyright a compilation of facts.

Cheers,

Michael
