Ban the use of the software that way in the TOS, and the Aussie government can go jump in a lake!
And the next story here, Evil Network Vendor Prohibits fair use with EULA.
Better yet, send out a rogue update to their servers where it disables the whole internet for the whole country
Yeah, ever heard of the AFP? These guys will be investigating the case and will have a very strong need to find someone to punish. Hint: it won't be a politician.
... pirate software users don't have any reason to expect the software is going to behave honestly.
Section 183 of the copyright act. They're not pirates. For the Americans in the audience, think eminent domain.
However, how do you determine who is trustworthy enough to supervise the process? Do they supervise the entire process (empty box -> add votes -> count votes -> report votes) or just a part of it? If you have two, three, four political parties, do you have observers from each party?
You count the votes in place. No transport. Boxes are supervised at all times. You have a committee with representatives of each candidate present. Anyone want to give me odds on a committee rigging an election? I doubt it would get past the first meeting.:)
The AEC and the state ECs compete to run the local council elections. Local councils run elections not for democracy (for which most don't care about), but instead as a method of making quite a lot money, as most folks don't bother to vote and thus get a fine.
The AEC doesn't do local elections. Local government elections aren't compulsory. Anything else you need corrected?
Some of it depends on the state, WA local elections can be run by the WAEC or they can be run by the council itself. It's usually a cost issue. Local councils can run them in different ways. Most are now postal elections. Turnout is pretty poor.
As for odd letters, some political party programmer needs a course in logic. Just because my brother and sister live at the same address and share a last name, they are not Mr and Mrs.

Reads like management to me.
Your idea sucks.

Open source? Who cares? How about flash cookies, horrible ads, and stupid UIs for web-sites.
Funny thing is, I heard someone on TV the other day talk about the 140 character limit of SMS. The two are sort of merging in a lot of places. Ick.
Connecticut. .ct.us so that you can have siddef.ct.us or couldeffe.ct.us Might work.
How does OpenSSH do without GCC?
What definition are they using? I'm a large 'Made in India,' but an XL/XXL 'Made in China.'
What would 3DRealms do if someone just went ahead and wrote / released an open source version of Duke Nukem Forever.
Make them an offer?
Toupe, good sir. Er, Touche.
Carter was proof that you can be too smart to be President.
I think I hear the turbolift.
Not if you're flexible about it.
Sound like a black hole of social networking.
Hey, nobody can resist Denny Crane.
Is he SIRIUS?
You forgot about his talk show.
I just put in the Civ4 disk and lost three hours.
Australians just use a pencil. (I'm sure there's a space-pen or Soviet Russia joke in there somewhere.)

That sounds like real work to me.

I saw that one coming, but the informative mod is a little frightening.
