You're probably just trolling, but... What a terrible attitude to have. People who go into engineering (or maybe even business... I dunno) strictly for the "earning power" are almost guaranteed to be incompetant. Even if a job flipping burgers paid 6 figures it wouldn't matter. What drives me is a desire to solve problems, NOT a paycheck. I can honestly say that I probably WOULD pay a small fortune and 4 years of my life just for the knowledge... screw the paycheck.

I for one hail our new botanical overlords. Long live Emperor Ficus!...(and his mother and siblings too)
Back in the day, Australia WAS the GlobalJail... maybe this "extradition" could just be considered a prison transfer.. haha
On a side note, I love Australians... good senses of humor, completely and utterly blunt, amazing people... cheers mates!
Isn't this exactly what we wanted to happen? What kind of repurcussions is this going to have on patent-crazy companies like Microsoft?
