Aussie Techs Threaten Chaos

tintinaujapon writes "The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that NCR staff with key responsibility (among other things) for fast food & supermarket chains, banking ATMs, schools and baggage handling at Sydney airport are preparing to walk off the job next week, in industrial action aimed at resolving a pay dispute. NCR's general manager thinks few people in the general community will care about the plight of the palest workforce, but the union claims potential disruption and financial losses could be huge. The strike could last up to a week and is the most significant action yet taken in Australia by the techie workforce."

Actually the magnetic north pole is in Antarctica, so if the maps were drawn with the north pole at the top (as you'd expect), it's Australia who's on the top of the world and it's all your silly Northern Hemisphere continents which would be dropping off the globe.

Hm, flamebait... nah, wasn't that. Trolling? No. Redundant? Hardly. Let's see if I can refute the logic! Hm, can't. What to do, what to do. Oh, I know! I'll mod it overrated! That'll show him!!! Never mind that it wasn't rated in the first place.

If the only way you have to defend socialism in inaccurate moddings of people who argue against it, maybe you need to rethink your political philosophy?
