Like most Americans, whenever I think of Aussies I think of Crocodile Dundee or Steve Irwin: rugged, outdoorsy individualists. Australia has a history not unlike that of America's Old West: Guns, deserts, ranchers, rugged individuals with a no-nonsense can-do attitude.

Yes, that's right... they fight first... then the men of the losing group are either killed or sent into slavery in some @PANTHEON forgotten corner of the empire, while the winners have sex with the women from that group....
(dws)Oh... sorry, you meant something else, didn't you? (/dws)
You can change the keyboard mapping on the fly. Have your bengali friend type something without him needing to bring their keyboard from home! and then, your japanese friend can do the same... and then your ukrainian mail order br!@#$!@$%NO CARRIER..

Lookup ZFS and encryption. It is aleged that ZFS will have a FS encryption module. Whether the encryption module is going to be there from the start or it's going to be a later "add-on", that I don't know, but still... watch that space.
In a normal world, it would be an employer's duty to send employees on training, especially if they (the employer that is) intend to deploy some new-fangled *SHINY* piece of technology.
Practically, however, it really depends on what kind of sector you're in. Government related employers will hardly ever do that, and they *will* happily prefer to lose money than send employees on training.
I've seen cases where "training credits" were awarded as part of a major hardware purchase. $PHB du-jour happily sat her fat arse on them until they expired... 3 years in a row!
You might want to inquire whether there are any credit points left that you can use.
I'd not spend a dime of my own on training, if (as is the case) I hate the current employer and more over, they've shafted me repeatedly.
Sure, you can go and buy books and all that, but when it comes to paying out for trainig when your employer solely benefits out - why do it? Let the bastards shell for the training.... and then leave!:)
Thanks a bunch for reminding me of that abomination!
Mind you - at that time I liked doing it but sure as hell I thought I wasn't going to do that for money! And while we're at this: does anyone remember Motif? how you had to use their magic *AND* descend in the Xt catacombes every now and again?
Oh! and that meand programming with Motif using $EDITOR. Any visual building tool for it was starting at $3000 and was only going up from there.

Sarcasm aside, keep in mind that stupidity has no boundaries, and it really doesn't matter whether she's woman or a man. I have no doubts that if she was a man - she would've been just as stupid and just as hated.

What the fsck?! Do hexagons on Saturn can have more than 6 sides?! Say.... a 12 sided hexagon? or a 5.5 sided one?
Oh... wait... this is NA-one-inch-equals-one-centimeter-SA. I should've expected that!

That's because they're so efficient on it, their work is done in 10 minutes. Duh... PC!

Does anyone remembers the old ultrasonic remote-controls of the 80s? I can tell you one thing: they worked on cats too, as well as on TVs!

Actually the rocket was just $500. The rest of it is money for bribing the authorities so the can launch it - or if you will "schpaga"

They'll need a couple of year's worth of elastic-strip national production to pull that one.
Yeah, yeah... I'll get me coat now.
