Yeah I see, or maybe you could use it as a cache to speed everything up? It just seems bizarre to have a PC with more RAM than SSD!

Really? How very strange. I've never heard of a 24GB SSD. Plus they're usually in units divisible by 32.

When he talks about Mac, he's talking about the Apple system, not saying "Macs lol".

No they aren't http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/science-sushi/…

Haha! I came here to say the same thing, but you beat me to it.

Ha ha! Every episode brings a ton of brand new stuff as well. I can't imagine Essie Davis ever wanting to work anywhere else after this, she must have so much fun.

I don't mean to say it isn't fun, though! I love the show, and you can't take your eyes off Phryne. Well worth a watch.

Honestly? It's so incredibly tame. You could show this at lunchtime in the UK. There's a flash of underwear, some semi-clothed kissing, and then the camera pans away to the wall before the following shot of the next morning (Phryne's naked back in bed). I've watched a few more, but there's nothing more explicit than…

Right now in England, I think the fear of social repercussions is a far greater prohibitive factor than the fear of the legal ones, since you can't respect a daft law. Much like the laws about drug possession, people navigate them in a totally different way than they do with the laws they see as being "real".

We don't have it in law, but we have it in practice. If parents tried to bring a case to court involving their 15-year-old and someone else's 16-year-old, and there was no suggestion of cruelty or lack of consent, it would be unsuccessful, but a case involving a 14-year-old and an 18-year-old probably would be…

The way we deal with it now is to turn a blind eye to virtually everything, unless it's a child with an adult partner or in cases where some other law is also being broken (coercion and other forms of rape). We do that to avoid having kids on the sex offenders' register simply for having ordinary sexual relationships…

He has said exactly that in interviews. It's a very sensible system.

And that's why we can't have a sensible conversation. He actually has said exactly that, commenting that it's a vastly different thing for a 17-year-old to have a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old than for a 45-year-old to do the same. He is absolutely not supporting the latter, but wants to see a sensible law…

Her pistol is gold-plated. I laughed out loud.

Okay then, Burt!

Thanks for sharing it, Ms. Rey! Sorry if I seemed like I was being rude - I went away to make some cakes, so I didn't realise you'd moved it to Groupthink.

I snapped a screenshot of every wardrobe change in episode one of the first series:

I've been discussing this all week with UI designers and music producers. All of us were excited about the possibilities for new musical instruments...

I'm just in disbelief* that they can name a figure (plus they apparently introduced this in June 2012, according to Techdirt, and then retroactively spanked Ms. Palmer over a purchase made at the end of 2008!) and you have to pay it.
