Which I found amusing at first, especially since I run a Mac
The first time they called, I hung up immediately since I had better things to do. The second time, though, I got fairly annoyed at the guy who sounded like he was on the other side of the world in a shack somewhere. I wanted to probe him and ask questions - he claimed to be calling on behalf of my ISP, but did not disclose a name. He wouldn't answer any of my queries and kept on talking and talking - until silence and hung up.
And here I was planning on setting up a Virtual Machine and let them tinker with it to see what they did if they ever called me again - guess that ain't going to happen any more!
Freedom of speech? What's that?
The location of the server doesn't matter when it comes to defamation law in Australia. The test case was Dow Jones & Co. Inc. v Gutnick.
Despite the article in question that allegedly defamed Australian Joseph Gutnick, was published by an American company and provided via American servers, the case of defamation was allowed to be tried in the Australian state of Victoria. The key point being that the defamation occurs at the place the communication is received (in this case, Australia), not where it is stored.
Ah right, yep - I see. I wasn't quite launching it properly
That all said, it looks fantastic running at 2560x1440!
Well, while the site is being hammered, I'll post this here...
Running here on a Mac, the application pops up an error window after the opening text sequence: http://puu.sh/12dax and exits.
Seriously, the headline had me thinking it was about a fight over food supplies in space with issues regarding commercial vendors to supply NASA or something.
Greatly disappointed
Nothing, as so to speak. ATC systems are not entirely autonomous systems. People, whether they be air traffic control or the pilots have to interpret the information and act on them.
An air traffic control system is not a flight control system. Flight control systems in the aviation world relate to things that control the ailerons, elevators and rudders on an aircraft. ATC systems may provide inputs into an FCS when in autopilot but it is an external input.
It used to be that way, but now you just need a Windows Live ID to use MSN Messenger.
A Live ID can be attached to any email - doesn't need to be Hotmail.
That said, I still use my Hotmail address for Messenger... just legacy purposes
Living on Earth may be expensive, but it includes an annual free trip around the Sun.
