Thats not true, every party has competing factions that win over power within the party and pick a leader - each faction with competing policies Liberal under Turnbull would be dramatically different from Liberal under Abbott

Thanks, thatd be good... Its a Dell XPS M1530 I know, but thats $1k that could go straight into super next week (and suddenly become $2.5k) I guess the basis of my question is whether there could be a fix that won't involve a motherboard replacement (and do shops even have the capability to...

You cant buy these things on specs They all look slightly different, in terms of colour and especially in terms of ability to show movement (tennis can be unwatchable on some of these screens for example, probs the same with cricket etc) I reckon theyd last just as long as the sony ones but...

Hey guys, Do you know of any software that allows you to access media over the network (stored on 1 computer)? We've got 10 or so different screens (PCs, Macs, TV, PSP at home and itd be nice to be able to open up a front row style program and be able to browse through everything and play it...

So my XPS has died... wont boot (though the HDD whirs away and I can do LCD diagnostic test but without backlighting) No indicators illuminated except for the power one My guess is that the motherboard/gpu has been fried... a new one costs US$240+postage and I cant find any Australian...

I have no problems with ISPs having the data... Coles knows exactly what we buy, when we go shopping, how much we spend (Flybuys) Same with any loyalty program (Qantas FF, Cinebuzz, Everyday rewards, any credit card) Companies should be able to collect this data to target better products to...

thats ridiculous, you cant ban something that people enjoy if they already cover all the costs for their activity we should be getting more progressive - start producing and taxing pot and ecstacy as well

Imagine how rich society would be if everyone on this forum invested their mental capacity in productive activities in their spare time

The Greens aren't looking to run the country They are looking to hold sufficient seats to provide a socially progressive voice in parliament which the Gov will have to consider when debating policy They'll have no power over hardcore economic policy which the ALP and libs should agree on

The Greens don't stand a chance because of people like scuba_steve2121, who are like the conservative baby boomers we are battling against, in that they make stupid statements without even having read the actual policies. There's also this myth that preferences flow to the ALP, yet Bob Brown...

This has been done several times: Category:Micronations in Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia International recognition is another thing altogether... you'd have to prove to the UN that you were a group of people joined for some reason (e.g. by ethnicity) that had no sovereignty...

Have you even looked? The Libs have heaps of policies, most of which are really specific: Barry O'Farrell :: NSW Opposition Leader, Leadership NSW Needs

You have 2 choices: 1. Mine the shit of Australia right now, use up all the resources and hope that in a few decades the future fund and miraculously appearing new industries will save us from economic decline 2. Keep mining as a stable industry that can continue for the next century at least...

Firstly, this is a dumb argument... I think the fact that you only took issue with two of my initial points shows that Rudd has done a whole lot of really good things for this country and will be re-elected. In light of that, I'm only going to deal with one thing here: As the tax is on...

That's pure speculation, especially considering that independent modelling showed that the ETS would have moderate effects on economic growth (which would have remained positive) Of course impacts on climate change would have been extremely small - it's about setting a global precedent for...

This discussion is absurd. The OP wants to do uni work, listen to music and watch movies... The computers of 10+ yrs ago could do all these things. Unless you're doing an engineering/science/architecture course where you need to use complex software, you'd be wasting your money buying anything...

There's no way Labor will lose. And Rudd has an extremely busy PM: -Saved our economy from recession (not the miners, that's BS as you will see if you read Gittins today) -Started building an NBN -Massive investment in port and freight railway infrastructure (just as he promised) -Massive...

Yes, we are just substituting one fossil fuel (oil) for another (coal) But because energy consumption/passenger is so much lower for a HST, you make achieve big emissions/fuel cost cuts anyway

HSR uses far less energy per passenger than air travel - a proven fact and not worth arguing about. 1.The vast majority of corridor passengers are businesspeople/public servants. They don't choose how they travel, and their tickets cost a lot more than $50 (and are mainly contracted in bulk)...

What I'm saying is that I can beat a car from one side of the city to the other (with ease) ... which makes bike riding the fastest mode of transport available (obviously only where there are no freeways)
