    Special APEC Laws (relating to police powers)

    Nothing to do with 'letting terrorists win'. It's about letting innocent people be alive and not threatened by the stupidity of others. Did you forget the shoot to kill policy? Not only are they putting themselves at risk but also everyone around them that has a genuine reason to be there. Just...

    Special APEC Laws (relating to police powers)

    While I usually find what they do funny, this just seems utterly stupid and they deserve to be locked up. Everyone has been warned about the consequences. Pulling stunts at protests that already have a chance of becoming violent, in order to promote your own self indulgent behaviour is...

    Student group spent $500,000 without documents, audit finds

    Exactly, Im still struggling to understand what exactly it is that they do. Does anyway pay that activities fee now they don't have too? Less than 1% would I reckon...

    student strike at APEC

    And the freeing up of barriers to trade and establishing a combined effort to the problems present in the Pacific region well into the future isn't as important? As I said before if they want APEC to be taken seriously the US has to treat it that way. You cannot possibly tell me this report...

    student strike at APEC

    A little off topic, but doesn't the fact that Bush isn't going to be here for the majority of the meeting prove how muhc of a joke APEC actually is? I mean if the most important person at the meeting feels that its more important to go home for 'progress report' on the Iraq war then I hardly...

    Lame Holden "transformers"-style adds...

    We've had plenty of Commodores over the years, and a couple of Fords and I can tell you that the Commodores were far more reliable than the Falcons. Not just in terms of the engine but structural integrity as well. We had a EF panel van that the drivers side door fell off one of the hinges. A EB...

    Lame Holden "transformers"-style adds...

    And when they didn't the Holden's were winning something like 95% of all the races or there abouts. There is no way that the Commodore is an inferior product to the Falcon (both have good and bad points) and I still doubt whether the Camry with a new name (Aurion) is all that good. Toyota...

    Lame Holden "transformers"-style adds...

    Its actually an inline six. Unfortunately they have re-branded a lot of Korean crap lately, but they are also exporting a hell of a lot of Australian built vehicles, something that Ford is not doing AFAIK. Also holden at least started out as a true Australian company, something Ford can never...

    new e-learning

    That is exactly what they have done. The old version of webCT was well passed it's use-by date and so now they have upgraded to the new edition (which is completely different due to the makers of webCT merging with the makers of blackboard used by other universities). They couldn't 'fix it up'...

    Which is the best campus?

    Every campus that I've been to is incredibly boring. You have to make your own fun. But in saying that, I'm glad the fees I'm paying arent paying for people to have cheap drinks at the uni bar or for them to build rubbish like a Womens room, or queer space. What a load of bullshit. VSU was the...

    tyre pressure

    Depends on the tyres and wheels as you have mentioned. Also the car and its weight, etc. The plaque on the inside of the door should tell you the recommended pressure for an even balance between ride quality and fuel efficiency. Increase the pressure slightly to sacrifice ride quality for better...

    blacktown is going down

    AFAIK the majority of the Parra site is heritage listed. They had to fight for years to get approval to build EA, so demolishing any of the buildings (besides maybe EC) would be out of the question. Also they are going to need more carpark. There is nowhere near enough spaces now so watch the...

    Cops call me for speeding?

    Actually I think you will find parliament sets the law. RTA has the authority to determine speed limits and stuff like that, but laws go to a vote in a session of parliament.

    Autumn 2007 Results?

    Should be mid July, somewhere around the 15th I would suggest. CBF to look it up though. Lol.

    Most ANNOYING things when Driving

    Thats not a stat that can be accurately measured though. Just because people say they drive with their lights on in the day doesn't mean they actually do. If they think it's the 'right' answer they are probably going to say it anyway. Also less people do it so obviously they will be involved in...

    Most ANNOYING things when Driving

    Thats what it is. AFAIK it is an offence to have them on when there is no fog. Same as highbeams within 200m of an oncoming vehicle or one traveling the same direction ahead of you. Another thing people forget...

    RTA dumbs down the new Red P's test...

    Majority of people do only drive on main roads, thats why they are main roads. Lol.

    120 in a 100 zone...am i fucked?

    This is because Australian design standards allow for a 10% variance in accuracy in speedometers. However, most car manufacturers ensure that is variance is on the slower side (and usually far less than 10%), ie. if it reads 80 you are probably doing anything between 75 and 80 km/h. This also...
