It's quite likely that the prosecution in this case deliberately torpedoed themselves so that they could have an excuse to dismiss the case and avoid setting exactly this precedent.
Possiblly not a bad thing given the vast amount of security flaws and exploits that PDF has been hit with, especially over the last few years.
I think that's exactly what is being proposed though. ISP offers an optional, opt-in clean feed for families that want it. Don't want it? Don't get it.
... when you can already attend concerts with a singing and dancing virtual pop star that is only about half as creepy?
... is 8 characters.
... which is to say record labels and motion picture companies.
TFA is about Australia, and Australia doesn't use HFCS at all - we use sugar in everything that would have HFCS in the US. And we have the exact same obesity problems as the US does.
The problem is the prevalance of convenient, high-calorie processed foods, a lack of understanding of correct portion sizes, and lack of exercise.
You're looking for a roughly circular feature? I think this is a more likely spot personally:
Menthol is the active chemical in vapor rub, amongst other things.

The concept of a computer-generated 'virtual' singer / popstar isn't really something new at all. It's probably an inevitable consequence of the modern music industry and its manufactured pop artists, fake music videos and whatnot. A virtual idol won't need to eat or sleep, they can never be involved in a scandals, they don't do drugs, they'll do exactly what you tell them, they don't get royalties and they never retire.
I guess Lucas got tired of people saying his films lack depth and are filled with flat, two-dimensional characters.
"'I'm not sure that the censorship claim stacks up. This is about classification systems."
The Australian Classification system is a system of government-run censorship. Media which is refused classification is not allowed to be sold in the country.
The debate is fundamentally about censorship.
It is legal to possess and view unclassified and refused-classification material in most of Australia, provided that it is not material which is actually illegal (child porn, for example). What Conroy wants to do is circumvent the ability for adults to decide what they can view. To make it illegal to view online things which are legal to possess in reality. It is censorship. To argue otherwise is completely dishonest.
The Trappist breweries would probably disagree with you.
PS3 Media Server's transcoding can be used to correct the framerate too, if you set it up right.
For decades we've had films which are "essentially created as entertainment and to make money" and which depict major conflicts, often with input from people who fought in them. They'll often attack more recent subject matter than games will, too.
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
