The other key player you're talking about that can't claim the tax back would be, for instance, overseas importers of Australian coal, like China? THis will only be a problem (for Australia) if they can buy untaxed coal from elsewhere.
Current procedure is to ask you to set PEDs into airplane mode, and not use them during takeoffs and landings. But 'not using' a PED does not mean it isn't running and emitting signals. It's in standby mode. (and what that means depends on the model, maybe even the OS version)
The stagnation of civilisation begins. Didn't we have Asimov saying in Foundation that the Empire was shutting down atomic power plants rather than fixing them, from a lack of technicians? (I couldn't find a transcript, so sue me)
TO geeks, Windows 7 might be vaguely acceptable for a desktop machine, but it's totally unacceptable for a unit that runs on cells and can't afford to burn cpu cycles promiscuously. (ok, for the first part of that sentence, I'm probably handing over my geek card:)
Let me put it this way: You won't need a glow-in-the-dark condom afterwards. And you won't need one at all, if you're just seeking to prevent contraception.
Assume you had a working time machine, how would you deal with spares? Move from present to past, dropping a parts depot every 5 years or so? You'd need to make them rather secure, to prevent the natives from getting the technology prematurely...
My gut feeling is that people distrust their own government more than foreign governments, but it is just a feeling, I have no data to back the idea up.

Do they deep-fry them first?
If you can't compete with them, sue them. It worked for SCO!
I'm thinking that was irony.
Wonder if it's going to work for Oracle, this century??
Blizzard is rolling in cash.
Image of Scrooge McDuck. Ok, since when have you been able to roll a duck as a racial? And would it be Alliance or Horde?

I thought you went to movies to um, do things other than watch the movie. Drive-ins especially. (assuming any of them still exist.)

That's probably not a problem, but making them want to chase pigeons after they've eaten one would be. (go way! wanna sleep!)
They were invented in the early 60's, so looking like 70's scifi was a good thing.
Is that an un-ant-serable problem?
It'll work if we tip honey on all the malware.
A new definition of honey-trap.
Even when Byte was more ads than articles, dammit, they were interesting ads.

Would that be a five year plan? Well, I wish it better luck than its Soviet predecessors.
Define renewables, by the way.

Clouseau was on the job.
You'd rely on the post? :))
Which lips?
The throwing of chairs by sweat-stained CEO's?

But for jokers that answer yes to "coffee or tea?" I have a special surprise.
