You make an interesting point. That article you linked to is Fiona Patten, the leader of the Australian Sex Party and the Eros Association so you have to admit that she’s not purely objective/independent in this situation. Also, I think both censorship and refugees have to do with civil liberties.

For the record, I agree with your position against that censorship, but I don’t see how you can conclude that it is the main issue in this election.

From my understanding, censorship in the context of the filtering Refused Classification (RC) rated internet content is impractical for a variety of reasons, will reduce internet speeds and could be a slippery slope to more draconian censorship. Australian’s treatment of refuges and the demonisation of the boat people already leads to pain, suffering and death of a very vulnerable group of people that Australia has already agreed to protect through international conventions.

When I look at it this way, I don’t see how you could conclude that censorship is a more important issue and voting should be made along censorship.

Here is the BBC story if anyone is interested: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/10514367.stm

Governments using modern technology to support/educate users should be encouraged - it will assist the UK IT industry employment, grow UK IT capabilities and give citizens the information they need when they need it. But at the same time, a government should be careful not strongly benefit one closed source platform over other platforms. Of course this doesn't mean that the UK government should build applications in all mobile platforms - just that they should build at lease some software application on another platform - preferably an open source one.

When was this? Please define 'major levels.'

If the games are too expensive and don't offer enough replayability, rental is a good option. Try Gamefly.

As for a console that could download $10-$15 games: XBox Live Arcade is fantastic.

No, the best security is one where people don't know which procedure you're using AND the procedure itself is well known and still secure. Security through obscurity isn't the best form of security, but it does add an extra layer of strength.

If I'm reading the HM Revenue and Customs website properly, the WiFi-only version will not be subject to import duty because both "Laptop and desktop PCs" and "Palm-held portable" computers are both exempt.

The WiFi+3G model will be subject to import duty, because it could reasonably be described as a "PDA with GPS".
