I do and while I am happy with 3 year terms, I don't disagree with much else. We Aussies are pretty proud of the various improvements we have over the UK and US systems. Our independent electoral commissions minimise gerrymandering. Ou

At the moment we have non-searchable PDFs coming in to a network drive. These are manually reviewed and sent to the relevant GP's inbox (or to nursing or to management) as necessary, with the relevant patient selected so all the doctor

They are just one of the 3 big providers. Argus is the PGP one I am most familiar with. I don't know a lot about the inner workings of Medical Objects or the third one, HealthLink. I just hope their interoperability discussions end up

All our fax machines are already using Cisco ATAs to connect to our VoIP system anyway. Only problem I've ever had with that aspect was a dud ATA. I know many practices use eFax though, even though it uses email and hence is against ac

One of the good things about Göttingen in particular is that it maintains the same (or similar) intellectual atmosphere at not only a lower cost than the bigger German cities, but also lower than some of the other similarly-sized university

I've been using this for about a month now, with the Firefox add-on for checking it on my desktop, and the FeedMe app for using it on Android. Works well, I moved away from Tiny Tiny RSS to this and am pretty satisfied.

The official position of both governments (mainland and Taiwan) is that there is only one country called China, and it is made up of both the mainland and Taiwan. Of course your average Taiwanese citizen is unlikely to hold such a position,

Criminal law is not a neat container. A crime is simply anything which is defined as being a criminal act within a given piece of legislation. You can "decriminalise" something either by eliminating the entire piece of legislation
40.
by cknight 8y ago
Legalised is more or less correct in this case. Decriminialising something means it could still be illegal, as a civil offense. Importantly, like the US, UK and Australia, India is a "Common Law" nation. That means court rulings s

A quick play around and I find myself suffering from this same issue: https://github.com/vvanirudh/Pixel-Art/issues/4 A shame, I'm really keen to spruce up some old 50x50px forum icons from where I used

I have to admit that the 6 months I spent living in Lyon were not all that enjoyable for me, for a myriad of reasons. But the food... no complaints there. I never stumped up the money to go for a starred establishment, but the various Bouch

Yeah, pros and cons. GP visits are subsidised a set amount by the govt down here, and while for some doctors that means squeezing in as many visits as possible to get volume, for others it just means they get $X from the government and char

We're a basket case down here. The lack of certainty surrounding energy policy means there's much less appetite for investment in this area than there should be. Don't get me wrong, stuff is happening[1], but not at the rate

As soon as I read your first sentence I immediately thought "I wonder if they live in Germany". Having lived there a few years I was astounded at the lack of fly screens, given that there are just as many mozzies and other bugs fl

I switched back to Firefox 57 about a decade after abandoning it for Opera. I remember the advocacy movement around Firefox 1.0 which I was quite involved in. I thought (and still think) it was great. I don't plan to go quite as far th

ANU is likely the best compromise option for us at the moment, yeah. All my friends and family are in Sydney, so it's not too far. Though even as a Sydney-sider, I don't consider Canberra to be a small town. Not after living in Ge

There are cultural issues at play there which will take quite some time to overcome. High rises in Sydney are popping up around train stations now, but the vast majority of the metropolitan region's land area is taken up by single or d

That is fascinating. As someone who lives in Sydney's outer suburbs, I simply never need cash. For anything. It's almost the exact opposite of Germany, where I lived for most of the last 5 years. Was your experience all within the

You're on the money, but just a bit out of date. We have a (very) new far-right party called the Australian Conservatives now. The creation of a former Liberal party senator.

This depends on your ADSL2+ line. I'm paying for "up to 24mbit" but the line length means I get 3. The rest of my street is now on HFC NBN but my house is an outlier, still waiting on additional work. Been waiting since May,

I worked as a programmer in a molecular dynamics research group for a while. I was asked to work in Python because it was what the boss was familiar with - so there's some of the same inertia happening again, just with a new(er) langua

It's polished, it's sufficiently customisable for my likes, it features folders, it's completely integrated in to the bookmarks system, accessible from sync'd devices, and allows for simple drag-and-drop rearrangements.

Simply by erasing stop words from a headline and then scanning the remaining terms for likely hits. The media has quite a few terms it likes to repetitively use in headlines for certain topics. I currently have about 100 terms to check a he

RSS feeds of various news websites give me a daily shortlist which I manually approve to prevent false positives and duplicate stories. Since that manual part essentially means I am using it as a feed reader, I assume that's not breaki

So one of the things I did for my project was to scan headlines related to corporate ethics, so I could start listing overviews of a company's record in this area. Needless to say, Wells Fargo has pretty much been filling its own page

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the impression I get from Standard Oil and Bell is that each big company essentially just had to duplicate its administrative tier and give each one its own branding, and then things (mostly) continued on a
