Had to buy a book today.. The new local AU store was going to deliver AFTER Christmas. The US Store can have it to the local dropoff store within 8 fucking days... dohh back to the US purchasing via friends in the USA.. dumb shit Amazon
Current government having a bad run in the poll??? Look over there !!! A shiny new distraction (insert pie in the sky distraction here, ie. Space Agency), polls?, what polls??? Call my cynical, yep, I am....
when was the last time you used Linux?? Running Ubuntu Mate on a T61p right now, never skipped a beat from the moment it was install.. Compare that to my POS win7 work laptop that has been higly crappified by security and you'd choose linux everyday too.. Apple bahhh walled garden
I think that Business machines will be exempted here. The corporate I work for has their own licencing server and loads their own crappified version of Windoze 7, also all our PC have UEFI disabled and secure boot... I see big business has the bg stick in that arena.
I still come across older cars that had both speed scales.. Even my wife pretty much unconsciously knows that approx 40mph = 60km/h; 50 mph = 80km/h and 60mph = 100km/h..... Even after we switched in the 70's people are still mainly bi-lingual... talk to me about the weight of a new baby and unless it's in lb I really am not sure if 2889g is big or not.....Arguments against fully " metracizing " are pretty moot. Been in a country that changed over and hearing all the hand wringing makes me sit back and laugh.
Cubic, what a bunch of crooks We had them foist their crap on us in Brisbane, AU the only winner was the gub'ment coz the system wasn't flexible. took 2+ yrs to implement and be relieable enough to use Overall a great stuff up
I don't care for the year of the Linux desktop. I like the variety, coz when bad decisions are made I can move on. Mint is the first distro that works the way I do. Windoze users can do whatever the hell they do I don't care.
In my company you would be out on your butt so fast your head would spin. We demand, clean code correct code and correct documentation. We also peer review the work and have the right to reject, which I do regularly Most of my colleagues correct their mistakes and admit to a brain fart day. poor performing colleagues strangely become redundant................
Ever tried to get a Kodak camera fixed??? Pay $x(read alot) up front for a quote, they send you someone elses fixed camera!!!! who know how it was looked after, what environment it lived in etc etc etc....... that was my last Kodak... Bought a Nikon DSLR and never looked back
what tripe!!! all the above is done in AU. A blocked IMEI can still call 112 the international emergency number as well as 000 the local equiv of 911. Each carrier keeps a local copy of the stolen register and updates regularly and the phone IMEI is then blocked ***at registration*** to the network not on a per call basis if it is used at all. One thing Au has over the US is only 3 networks and not a patchwork of carriers, this makes things rather easier. The AU example if I remember correctly was a Govt. mandated requirement, ie. do yourselves or we will make it law.....
@ $3000/m. they will.....
jizz up your love life. Stiffen your pecker lighten the load on your wallet so you can sit flat on your couch while "pullin' the pud' about music
I think all this dicussion is an example of GET A LIFE......
I use FLAC, AAC MP3 and dont give a shit coz' in the end, the music for me is background and I dont feel the need to do any of the above
Can't why this is flamebait, seems closer to the truth than not..... GPL isn't part of the Telstra culture, I'm going for oversight and relying on the supplier to have crossed the "T's" and dotted the "I's"
Ubuntu is without a doubt the best distro for most users. Yeah, I know I could have more customization with Debian, yeah, I know I could be faster if I ran Gentoo, yeah, I know I could be more on the bleeding edge if I used Fedora, but when it comes down to it, Ubuntu is the best distro for most people
correct! so far I have converted 6 other ppl who would normally have not even considered it. to further top that off, when ppl come to my house and need to use a PC they just say "this looks different to my PC" I dont say a word and THEY USE IT ANYWAY without any coaching...... Ubuntu = usability = ubiquity(eventually)
I care not for Geek cred, just wanna get the job done and Ubuntu ticks the boxes
in that case, Ispose the XPSP1 machine I did an direct SP3 upgrade to and now won't update doesn't exist. Only valid way i have been able to do it is via SP2. ***sigh*** better fix it this weekend... I use Linux 100% of the time but XP keeps the wife happy playing SIMS....
This is no real news to Europe and Australia. 21Mbps is the THEORETICAL maximum.. It will be moved to 42Mbps by years end with Telstra.

I tried the preview, yawned and reloaded my Fav linux distro, nothing much to see here. Win7 still seems to be the pinnacle at the moment...

As if they would EVER allow anyone else to use NFC while they are growing a new walled garden/money spinner.

Never stopped the Liberals before look at their previous policies on telecommunications. Patch work quilt Alex out on the fly.
