I have never had an account. The very idea of it was repugnant to me, even when it was launched. I think it mostly because of the must-use-real-name thing, which was the complete opposite of the way I used the Internet at the time. But also

Indeed. You can watch a Collins class sub take out a US Destroyer during war games, in this relatively short video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqFVOL7mLd4

Another interesting factoid... The British government tried to stop publication of Spycatcher in Australia also, but was defeated in court by the man who is now our Prime Minister.

I have a decent amount of off-shore sailing experience in small yachts, and like you, I never get sea-sick. I haven't tried VR yet, but I was hoping my apparent immunity from motion sickness might carry over to a nice VR experience. No

Australia also had only 18M citizens at the time. But the zero massacres since 1996 is still significant. Yes, guns are still available for sports shooters, and hunting etc. But we also strengthened the laws concerning how weapons must be s

I don't think it is down to luck that Australia has had had zero mass shootings by crazy people since the our government implemented a mandatory buyback, and destroyed hundreds of thousands of weapons almost 20 years ago.

It's true that our respective societies are very different (despite their similarities). We do not really have a small-town society in Australia. Almost all Australians live in large cities, and metro areas. This urban mindset is defin

I don't really buy the "criminals have them, so I need one too" argument. Are you genuinely so in fear for your family's' safety, that you need a firearm and ammunition on hand? If that is the case, and I were in yo

It frustrates me as an Australian, that our government scientists invented Synroc, and we have vast amounts of uranium, and probably the most geologically stable continent on earth, but no energy creating reactors.

I am not aware of any free-to-use national parks in NSW. There is a fee even for day use at the Royal National Park. I think State Parks are free, but I have had to pay whenever I have camped in NSW or Tasmanian National parks. It is possib

That is odd because the three.js demos i run report well in excess of 60 fps in FF when my monitor refresh rate is set 144Hz. The stats.js component only measures up to 100FPS and the simple demos often exceed that. edit: I also have G-SYNC

For me, (nVidia GTX 980) Chrome beats Firefox on Windows 8.1 by a lot when rendering 300,000 bunnies. - Chrome 44: 100 FPS - Firefox 40: 60 FPS - IE 11: 10 FPS I don't think that FF is limiting itself to 60 FPS as I have a 144Hz monito

Also, the JSONLoader and file format used in this tutorial are almost deprecated. Three.js has a newer JSON format[1], a new Blender exporter [2], and a new loader (THREE.ObjectLoader) in recent versions. They are much more fully featured a
