No its not banned, it just cannot be sold in any state. However the territories do sell unclassified materials. Thats why everyone goes to Canberra for porn. Also with section 92 of the constitution regarding internal free trade. Nothing stops you buying this electronic material from a server in the territories. Except for the cost of classification,

Thanks for your input. 1. Firstly, I think text colour and highlighting is key. For all sorts of things, from errors, warnings, etc. Also because web based languages can include PHP, Script and HTML all in the one page, I'm designing it to detect what the current language is and switch highlighting automatically. 2. Cut & paste, I dont think I can improve that at all. Allowing multiple items on a clipboard is out of scope for me right now. 3. Undo, actually one of my key features I'm working on is a full history system, so undo/redo is very easy. 4. Paren Matching - I hear you! In fact I was thinking of having a graphical overlay that draws a transparent line between the two selected parenthesis. Declared variable font change - this is actually already been done in other IDEs, but I like it, and is part of the colouring/font work. Code suggestions - I'm trying to think of a way to make basic suggestions such as semi colons, im thinking about using very transparent characters, that the users can click on to commit them. As for arbitrary indenting - Code manipulation is something currently out of scope and something that will hopefully be looked at in the future. Out of your suggestions, I really like the visual cues related to spaces and tabs, I hadn't thought of that one. Thankyou for your suggestions... Has anyone else got any suggestions?

Comment Military Contracts!!! (Score 5, Insightful) 323

This issue could be considered more of a scapegoat for the horrendous spending and poor budget management of the many poorly managed defense contracts over the last 40 years. Trust me, 10 Billion pales in comparison to what has been directly wasted. Also, 10 Billion dollars may seem a lot, but given its based around 40 years it cuts it down quite a bit.
