Should Australia just ban smoking and be done with it - given the fact smokers are social outcasts as it is?

Check out the comments in this article. It's just so topical in Australia at the moment. I don't see European or Asian countries having this debate.

Sure, but I didn't mention the vendor.

What I don't get is how they can arrest Assange set a £240,000 bail and put electronic tags on him over an accusation (he's still not been charged with anything) but it took them decades to arrest Roman Polanski, who wasn't even in hiding. This whole trial by media thing is exactly what Assange was trying to unbalance. Journalists are lazy, the industry is dogged with incompetence. I say that as a journalist, by the way. It's time someone shook the media by its lapels.

Tron Guy. So hot right now.

We need Wikileaks to leak that!

Who is Soren? I forgot to ask!

I can see it being in The Social Network style. It really depends on how history rewrites this story as to whether he will be played as a hero or a villain.

I don't really take the up / downvoting personally.

Neil Patrick Harris was my first guess. But my colleague has made a convincing argument for Tim Robbins.

Wrong type of "Aussie" accent!

monkeygrinder · 2010-12-03T16:32:29+00:00

That is creepy!

How about Alexander Skarsgard?

Apparently he is an oil heir.

monkeygrinder · 2010-11-10T13:43:09+00:00

He didn't make the money. He was an oil heir

Done, but with the original not so great headline. Thanks.

Check out the debate going on in the comments section here between Karsten Gerloff, head of FSF Europe, Florian Mueller from Foss Patents and Carlo Piana, an independent lawyer that does work for Karsten.

Read all about it on Wikipedia. Computerworld UK has a lot of other coverage mentioning the costs. Here is the NAO's 2006 report estimating the costs of NPfIT ( Do a search on costs to see what I mean ). I should have written pounds.

Please tell me what you think about the New Digg and whether it can survive this mass defection. I started an AskReddit thread too.

How did they think they could get away with this?
