New management want to re-invent the wheel. They reckon there's a better way to do it.

God save the Queen and the fascist regime. Tony Abbott and his strong arm tactics. He uses secrecy for the governments actions and is pushing his conservative, fascist agenda.
I'm running the most recent Mint and it prefers to install Nvidia driver version 310.44 as default, claiming it is 'more stable' the current driver @ Nvidia.com is 331.49. What Mint considers most stable still causes lock-ups a few times a week usually on boot but can be at odd times. Why doesn't Mint use the X drivers, well usually they're rubbish. I've put up with this rubbish over my 19 years of Linux use, s'pose I'm used to it, have to agree with Google engineers. Remembering that Linux is only the kernel, it's none of their business, and X isn't responsible for the binary blobs and Nvidia doesn't care because there aren't enough Linux users The dilemma is between proprietary hardware makers and free software writers. Other side of the coin, why would you use Chrome which is non-free and definitely not trustworthy.
if you had a thyroid problem you would know the iodine comes with sea salt, I just avoid salt when possible. It's never possible with processed foods and that's the crux of the biscuit ! Our simple rule is eat food from the outside of the supermarket, vegetables, bread, dairy, fresh meat, now look down the other isles, processed crap, even the health food isle is processed.
" Normally the cable companies just go in with an underground torpedo " Insightful bull_hit Slashdot has some moronic kids moderating the posts
Try horizontal boring, then pulling conduit through, then pulling the fibre through the condute. Much more boring than an f'ing torpedo
In Oz you can put fibres all through your own property, but not across boundaries into other properties, or under roads or other public space and I expect it would be the same in any first world country.

I don't expect you will notice the drastic weather.
The only good thing about global warming is the surf is only going to get better.
