This is true but they're not really banned, nor are they plants :)

How did you come to that conclusion? Actually just curious. It seems like there could be a really big difference between the cost of conventional power between Australia and the US if what you're saying is true.

What my post said was that traditional Aboriginal society as it was when discovered by Europeans was a sustainable one. Not that the first people to arrive in Australia didn't cause ecological damage. So is this really a valid argume

I didn't say they never had wars and you have a good and valid point. What I'm trying to convey here is they're likely not comparable to the atrocities committed today in places like Syria.

Excellent point; however, I would argue they had all the technology they needed. I've thought about this long an hard for a while after spending time in an Aboriginal community in Northern Australia. A friend of mine explained to me th

Because it means there can then be no single monopoly on electricity generation, nor are people forced into consuming power which is being generated in a way that does not align with their core values. This was the situation in Australia un

Totally agree. China & India have had very little, if any, environmental protection policies or fair labour laws for a long time, so manufacturing was sent overseas just so big corporations could make an extra dollar. Then what? Western

There hasn't been very good news from the Antartic lately. After seeing the reception Brian Cox received lately by Australian senator Malcom Roberts on an episode of QanA it's pretty clear we have no hope in world leaders doing an

I used to live in Sydney and commute daily by bike. Now live in Amsterdam and I've never have worn a helmet, along with what seems like 99% of the locals. I now realise the helmet thing is mainly about cars and just the way one needs t

The way this is escalating is amazing. I often wonder how much this is impacting Google, Facebook etc. I've been building a web app lately and making an effort to avoid technology which tracks users and to be honest, it's not easy

It would be great to see some mitigation in the form of emissions reductions to boot!

As inspirational as Steve Jobs was, he wasn't correct about everything, nor was he a brilliant engineer.

Sorry, but there just isn't "very dark side" to a plant. It sounds to me like some of your friends have been using a substance to fill a void in their lives or avoid facing some issues, this is really terrible and I understan

Do you have any real evidence to back anything you've said up? Sorry, but you can't quantify 10 years behind, it's just purely subjective. Just because you know people who are lazy and use cannabis, proves very little I'

I've seen it firsthand several times, if you want a mess, call IBM. The only "problem" with developers is they usually don't throw golf days for their best customers :)

There is nothing to be replaced by in the first place, because most jobs are just arbitrary, and non-required. Not all, but most. I'm sure most people could get by on a fraction of what they actually do. It just comes down to, people d

Totally agree, although, hopefully they age with the environment in mind. There seems to be whole businesses building around milking elderly people's retirement money. I'm thinking about highly polluting cruise ships etc. Interes

The guy has practically sacrificed his life and you think he is going to offer $20,000 just to hurt Hillary Clinton? He is a smart guy and I'm sure if his intention was to get revenge on her he might be able to come up with something a

Totally agree, it's hard to believe that our race has known of the dangers for this long and done so little about it. I do feel like there is a transition on the horizon, I just feel it might be too late. Could this mess really be caus

You can use Fastmail for email and still keep your Google Apps account, that's what I've done it seems fine.

Yes, all you need to do when moving to Fastmail is update the DNS MX records for your domain so that email is routed to your Fastmail Inbox. Then all you need to do is, visit to docs.google.com and login using your Google accounts credentia

I don't buy it either, sounds like something banks made up. Some people just like material possessions and are attracted to others who can give them more stuff. A lot of guys have this simplistic, masojanistic view of women, that is, w

The word hippy and the negative connotations associated with it are fascinating to me, it's amazing how western societies have created a negative connotation to describe a person who is probably more caring, conscious and alternate thi
