Aussies2007 You don't need to be a Muslim to be a terrorist. Any one caught making bombs... or with an arsenal of weapons would have to be questionned about their purpose under the terrorist act. Anyone caught planning an attack on civilians or on a building would be...

Aussies2007 The votes might be counted manually... but they are fed into a computer as they are counted and the results are published immediately on your television screen. In Australia... within 3 or 4 hours we have 80% of the votes counted and we know who won the...

Aussies2007 It has nothing to do with the internet. Governments and Enterprises were using computers in 1970... 25 years before Windows 95. Bill Gates did not invent the computer. He invented the home computer. The equivalent of the 486 home computer in 1995 was...
