I'm sure he'll know it's you if you are driving your car with no pants on, heading the wrong way down a one-way street, and are downloading kiddie porn.
Also, at least a couple times it's hinted at by the Cylons that their motivation might be, somehow... religious, as weird as that seems.
Religion causing fighting and a war? No way!!
The bill was passed today. When the Hansard page is updated, you'll be able to find out who supported it.
Out of the 17 members of the Legislative Assembly, only 1 is a Democrat (1 Dem, 1 Green, 1 Independant, 6 Libs, 8 Labor). So, if the Dems, Greens and Ind sided with the Liberals, the Dem would prove efficient, but otherwise - not much use in blocking or ensuring bill go through, really. But in this case, I'm proved wrong, so thumbs up.
Tasmania is a state. I think he was using 'province' to make it sound smaller:p Either that, or he's one of those that believe Tasmanian's have two heads, so keeps a geographical and verbal distance.
(Note: I'm still unsure on that two heads notion myself)
You're mostly correct, yes. The Chief Minister of the ACT, for you Americans, would be the equivalent of the Major of Washington D.C. (if there is one?), so that gives you an idea about the ACT, although being the seat of Australian Government, has its own state/local Govenment and that is where the bill has been passed.
The ACT is usually one of the first state/territory governments to adopt new "radical" ideas, so there is a chance this could spread through Australia, but only time can tell.
As for whether there's a chance other countries will follow suit, well, I guess that depends on how much they want to be friends with Microsoft (come on, you know if this idea spreads Microsoft will be really pissed off).
I'm an ACT resident, and discussion about this bill came up at work today. In regards to that, I've got to wonder why the hell a bill was needed for this - why is a policy, strictly enforced, not enough?
Are our politicians so inept that they have to hold onto the contraints of the law in order to purchase some new software? Wait...I think I just answered my own question.
66 from Gabon? Sheeesh. No intended offence to the Gabonese (?), but why so many from a country with a population of only 1.3 million? The trip was a good excuse to do some Christmas shopping in Europe?
Oh well. Us Australians will just form our own governing body with Antartica. Then the Australians will light 20 million BBQs in an effort to melt the Antartic ice-caps and flood your silly little internet club away.
Or maybe we'll be classified as subservient to the USA (as part of North America), as our Prime Minister seems to want.

Yeah, I'm sure that's how the Department of Planning or Bureau of Statistics (or whatever you Americans have) classifies 'city'.
No subway? No city for you!

I'm sure it'll happen sooner or later. I seem to remember parents going over-the-top when a WiFi station was placed near a school.
Of course they were not aware that the household microwave is just as likely a "deadly weapon".
You've really got to worry about technophobiacs sometimes...
Always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when someone has the opportunity to be exposed to online pr0n and Slashdot.
Just make sure Goatse man isn't driving the welcome wagon.

I am addicted. And my First Life is so full of them currently that there is no room for another. :)
And you are from where?
The USA? Where they have hunted the bison/buffalo to near extinction?
Spain? Where they poke pulls with spears for fun?
Russia? Where they make bears dance and beat them if they don't?
Or perhaps New Zealand? Where they love their sheep..........but in an icky way?

One can only wish that they became more similar, and our Prime Minister moved to Texas as well.

Never played it, and don't plan to. I've already got my First Life booked solid.

To both the above posts - how very.....American.
And I'll leave it at that.
In a Homeresque way:
And pr0n. Gotta have pr0n.

With my post above confirming it, I sure did. You'd have to feel for Kermit though - not many places to hide from Miss Piggy.
In space, no-one can hear you croak.
