Did you even read what you posted? A person commits an offence only if the material is in a prescribed area. From the same document:

prescribed area has the same meaning as in the Northern Territory National Emergency Response Act 2007.

And in the Northern Territory National Emergency Response Act 2007:

4 Prescribed areas
(1) The areas in the Northern Territory covered by subsection (2) are prescribed areas.
(2) The areas are:
(a) an area covered by paragraph (a) of the definition of Aboriginal land in subsection 3(1) of the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976; and
(b) any roads, rivers, streams, estuaries or other areas that:
(i) are expressly excluded under Schedule 1 to that Act; or
(ii) are excluded from grants under that Act because of subsection 12(3) or (3A) of that Act; and
(c) land granted to an association under subsection 46(1A) of the Lands Acquisition Act of the Northern Territory (including that land as held by a successor to an association); and
(d) each area in the Northern Territory identified in a declaration under subsection (3).
(3) The Commonwealth Minister may declare that areas in the Northern Territory known as town camps that are identified in the declaration are prescribed areas for the purposes of paragraph (2)(d).
(4) The Commonwealth Minister may declare that:
(a) an area in the Northern Territory that would otherwise be covered by subsection (2) is not a prescribed area; or
(b) an area in the Northern Territory that is not covered by subsection (2) is a prescribed area.
(5) A declaration under subsection (3) or (4) is a legislative instrument.

There may be other legislation making the possession or purchase of RC materials an offence, but the above only applies to specific areas of the Northern Territory subject to the emergency intervention, not the vast majority of the Australian population.

Pop quiz: Name the major Australian political party, also beginning with L, which started the mandatory detention of illegal immigrants, and is also opposed to gay marriage?

They're both as bad as each other.

There's no reason why Logitech couldn't issue HTTP 301 redirects from http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/ to a newer, friendlier URL.

Internode's pricing is better, but still not what I'd consider good: the $50/month that the original post mentioned will only get 20Gb/month on a 1.5Mbit ADSL1 connection, and their ADSL2+ (on Telstra) plans start at $69.95/month for a paltry 5Gb. To get 100Gb, you'd have to pay $219/month, which is completely unaffordable for most people. ADSL2+ may as well not exist at all outside of the major cities if it's not available at a reasonable price.

I've posted this before whenever people gush about how wonderful ADSL2+ is in Australia: it's only great when there's competition at the exchange. There are plenty of exchanges where Telstra is the only ADSL2 provider; on one of those you'd pay $149.95 for only 60Gb, and about $6000 in excess usage charges (15c/Mb) to get to 100Gb.

Have a look at the small print on your laptop's power adapter; most elecronic devices these days support multiple voltages and frequencies.

Actually, this is no longer true:

OpenGFX isn't 100% complete, but it is already playable.

You can validate the validator if you use its IP address instead of the normal URL.

On that criterion, NTFS on Linux fails too, since not all distributions include r/w NTFS support by default. At least in both cases it's fairly simple to install the necessary software.

Hopefully future versions of OS X will have read/write NTFS support built-in.

They also say, "better late than never".

Are you serious?
Foxtel, Optus TV, and Austar already carry Fox News on their basic packages.

I don't think the continued trend of larger hard drives is driven by software. My first hard drive was 80MB and almost completely filled with software. The internal drive on my laptop is 320GB, and software is only a few percent of that at most. I use the extra space to do things that couldn't be done before. It's now feasible to losslessly store all of my CD collection on my laptop. I record shows with my USB TV tuner to watch later. It's not practical right now, but eventually hard drives will be big enough to accommodate all my movies in the high-quality codec of the day.

I'm not saying that software hasn't bloated. My first laptop (700MB) had Windows 95 and MS Word squeezed into a 120MB partition to make room for Linux. I couldn't fit OS X and OpenOffice.org into 120MB, but I don't need to. Hard drive capacity has grown much faster than software can keep up.
