Also understand that a radical change in the materials of the notes could lead to problems in compatibility with various automated systems that deal with them.
I think this is probably a bit more important than otherwise noted.
I don't see why CSIRO wouldn't license polymer notes, they license wireless networking...
pffft. put out a press release when you join the 20th century...

Free, the one word that makes every word immediately after it more valuable.
3D will never really take off until they can figure out a way to implement it comfortably without requiring the ridiculous glasses.
I dunno, I think we're seeing a new market emerging for designer 3D glasses for this specific purpose..
Actually, there are parts of this game they don't want you destroying
In effect, you're probably not going to get buildings collapsing, a la Bad Company, because the engine relies on the structural integrity of larger objects. What you do get however, is hundreds of smaller props being blown to pieces, drastically re-shaping the immediate world around you.
So completely destructible? maybe not...
otherwise, everyone would just get the biggest weapon and collapse a guard tower on the enemies...
Yes they missed something, from TFA
The theft began with an instant message sent to a Google employee in China who was using Microsoft’s Messenger program, according to the person with knowledge of the internal inquiry, who spoke on the condition that he not be identified.
By clicking on a link and connecting to a “poisoned” Web site, the employee inadvertently permitted the intruders to gain access to his (or her) personal computer...
How google missed a stupid employee? "But" (you yell) " there had to be a flaw that let them gain access!". Yes, there was a flaw:
The attacks took advantage of a flaw in Internet Explorer 6 that was quickly patched, although the damage had been done.
So a google employee in China was using IE6 and clicking on links from someone who claimed to be another employee who wished to remain anonymous?
They missed an idiot. Pure and simple.
Would that be the similar to the psychological ploy that seems to be planting the idea that the US is crashing as a country?
Coz from where I sit, you guys are doing fine. A bit fragile at the moment, but some positivity and you guy's'll be up and about in no time.
or you could keep China-bashing...
Thirded; thats a fantastic work.
Hey Victor,
Chinese students at the Australian University I attended did have the same reputation that you've described; and have all been in the same "wealthy international" circumstance. The lecturers did have to pull a few up for plaigerism...
What do you do when people don't compare signatures on your card/credit card slip?
So why then is it that the birthrate in the most developed countries is below sustainable levels?
because of the definition of sustainable levels.
Well, at least we've sussed who's been benefiting from the gambling scandal...

Dib! Dib! Dib! Nuke! Nuke! Nuke!
Don't forget about Africa!

now there's a place ripe for masses of underpaid, cruelly-exploited workers
And the smug professional class who dismissed the textile industry as just crap work anyway.
And the smug professional class who dismissed assembly work as just crap work anyway.
And the smug professional class who dismissed light manufacturing as just crap work anyway.
And the smug professional class who dismissed heavy manufacturing as just dirty, polluting work anyway.
And the smug professional class who dismissed customer service and support as just dehumanizing work anyway.
And the smug professional class who dismissed low end programming as just boring, inconsequential work anyway.
And the smug professional class who dismissed stock analysis, paralegal and accounting as intellectual grunt work anyway.
And the smug professional class who dismissed overseas research and development as second rate.
And the smug professional class that went around singing about "education" and "innovation" and "dynamic economy" without ever figuring out what any of that actually meant or required.
Silly! You forgot the smug working class who no longer had the threat of industrial accidents, in exchange for lifting nothing heavier than a box!
May Euell Gibbons eat your only copy of the manual!
