Penguin Not Taking Flight Down Under

Bill Bennett writes "New Zealand Reseller News reports that Linux adoption down under is three times lower than North America. From the article: 'Adoption of open source software is slow in the Australasian region according to a report from analyst firm Forrester. Only 18% of the businesses in Australia and New Zealand surveyed for the report were using Linux, while 11% were considering its use. Analyst Sam Higgins says the low rate - three times lower than North America - is because open source is caught between two worlds. He says customers have been conditioned to buy software from vendors and their approved partners.'"

Re:bad survey?

But what happens if you the standard deviations don't float your boat? What happens if you only like non-standard deviations?

They have private clubs for that sort of thing.

Or farms.

Speaking of farms, one of my friends sent me a link to this video called Farm Sluts

Farm Sluts is a hilarious dark comedy of a man's journey upon opening that one unfortunate e-mail leading to a neverending cascade of pop-up windows and scantily clad women.

Farm Sluts contains partial nudity, language and untimely random acts of perversion. All Searchlab Shorts are unrated.

Soo.. mostly-safe for work, but I doubt you can get away with watching a video for 17 minutes, with sound, at work.

Do hard drives spin counter clockwise down there?

I really want to know.
