b) I wonder if they'd object if I stood outside and handed out Ubuntu CD's?
I think they'll have enough of that without birthday parties. This whole thing sounds like a store with a big "Kick Me" sign. I think we'll see Microsoft Security improve fast.
Actually, all of those people are what? 4% of the Victorian voters. And what's really annoying, if we get a double-dissolution causing an early election, Steve Fielding only needs half that to stay in the Senate. Bugger.
As already mentioned, it's to keep Family First Senator Steve Fielding voting with the government. Our best hope is that Steve keeps making George W. Bush look like Al Gore or refuses to stay bought and the whole stupid idea will go away.
Funny thing is, we have a guy at work signed up for Conroy's media releases. Spam Assassin keeps blocking them and for rules that look odd from a government mail server. I'll have to scrounge one up and see what triggers it. Maybe the whole department are idiots.
Better a harmless old lady (and her useless offspring) half a world away than some idiot who believes he has a mandate from the people and the power to do something about it.
Read this as an example. The fine was a joke. Jimmy Carter called the local roadhouse to apologise. They probably had the whole population of Balladonia around the phone.
That's great until some numbskull at Microsoft makes a keyboard without a proper insert key and you need to use the one on the number pad. I've had it happen. Using the num pad is also the only way to get the Home/End/PgUp/PgDown keys consistently positioned, also thanks to the same 'keyboard artists.'
Well, Balmer is complaining about losing money. The Feds could give him a 'bailout' and take ownership of the company. Obama could claim to be diversifying his holdings.
The first major spreadsheet application was VisiCalc for the Apple. But when IBM got into the PC market Mitch Kapor, who knew the VisiCalc developers, took the idea and built Lotus 1-2-3 for DOS. Today that would have landed him a shedload of legal fees but instead he built Lotus into a US$3.5bn company.
It's more likely because Steve Fielding stopped doing what he was told and they dropped their side of the deal on censorship. The whole thing was done to have Family First back their other programs in the Senate. Look at the AlcoPop debacle and you'll get an idea.
We got that, but he's not a Minister. It was probably the submitter confusing Member and Minister. People who confuse their Member and their Minister are in for some trouble.

Oh, I see these stores as lightning rods for some parts of the geek culture. Live action trolling, anyone?

Sorry, I'm only in my thirties. I don't remember the time before pricks in Parliament. Neither do my parents.
Niiiice one, maaate. You've mastered a classic Austrian sport, baiting foreigners. All we need to do now is show our new tourism ad, "Wolf Creek."

Yeah, but we got a foreigner to pay it. Bonus points. (Actually, knowing councils, some poor bugger is still trying to sort out the paperwork.)
I thought they called it "repositioning to a (much) lower orbit."
"$40 on the spot fine and up to $400 in the courts" is the way I remember it. Hmm, that 400 looks familiar.
They probably did, but local councils like to maximise their revenue opportunities.
Have you tried Megamek?
Most KVMs I've seen that don't use Scroll lock use PrintScrn.

Only in the Mirror universe. Yes, there were some good Enterprise episodes.
What exactly does the TOS for Myspace/Facebook et al have to say about this? Isn't sharing your password a no-no?
The Lori Drew case showed that violating a website TOS is worth jail time, so I wonder what trouble the city has earned itself.
They've got enough cash to buy a small country. I'm surprised someone hasn't done this yet. It's got to be easier than building a big enough island.

Gives you a Burning Ring of Firewire, just like a good curry.

And I probably should have said Senator.
