Agree. I would have loved to see him do a show about that now, with his cool accent and all. I could imagine him jumping on a shark and riding it, saying "ain't they goorgeous?"
Unfortunately Steve jumped the shark some time ago and not in a good way...
Years ago I worked for a department which managed the displayed on electronic road signs. Management decided to display road safety slogans during idle time and sent through a list. The person who audited the list used a word processor with spell check. One message said Freeway emergency telephones are there for your connivance and safety. Fortunately the guy who loaded the messages into the sign control software picked up the mistake and changed "connivance" to "convenience".
1 more time and I'm done with this site. If a lot of these things aren't actually factual, I'll migrate to a better source
My sister in law is from Queensland and she knows people in Goodna. She told me about the sharks a couple of days ago. I am pretty sure the story comes from the Goodna butcher and I have no reason to disbelieve him.
I reckon manually breaking through a brick wall would be noisier than using power tools. And the best place to hide the loot would be in the apartments where "nobody heard anything".
Here it used to be that Vodafone numbers started with 0414, Optus were 0411 and Telstra had 0419. The rest of the number is six digits after the prefix. Now we have number portability I am using a Vodafone number on Optus.
Somebody can correct me if I am wrong but I get the impression that mobile phones started out in the US as special services attached to local phone numbers. It was as if they took a line from a local exchange and patched it into a radio device so that the mobile behaved as a normal phone in that exchange area.
In.au mobiles have their own national prefix. They don't tell you where the phone is based. Thats bad for the caller because some mobile calls could cost them more money without them knowing about it in advance.
In the US the caller pays for the call to a local number (including long distance charges if appropriate) and the receiver of the call pays for the mobile leg from the exchange to their handset.
True story. They were over there in India using some meta data derived from our application dataset to generate a UML model which was generating java source which was compiling to class files one gigabyte in size. We fired the application up for the customer and it never actually finished starting...
Though compared to the US the issue overall is fairly minor.

I wonder if removing the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) makes Xfce more specific to one OS (Linux) and harder to port.

Hopefully all these new-fangled frameworks and technologies aren't going to turn Xfce into just another Gnome or KDE competitor. Xfce was always fast and light. Hopefully it stays that way.
More than that: its turning into Gnome.

I thought Flake was Shark.
Most things take at least a week to get to slashdot but I think it is on this minute because its dinner time in Melbourne and Sydney.
not sure why this random factoid above all others has made Slashdot
It's a US-american thing I guess.
Uh US-american?
Come on its the awsome title.

If you see a shark on the streets of Canberra and he's not a defence industry lobbyist then it will probably be Microsoft related.
Sorry, obviously there's a little confusion here. Lemme clarify that for ya.
A billion in the Australian metric system, is 1/10th of a Waggawagga, or about 3/5ths of a Malala.

Probably not the first time this has been tried. Crocs have been seen a long way off shore in the ocean so they must have been eating something.
I heard it on the weekend and the story might have been a few days old then.
Cycling home from work today there were all these hoopsnakes running red lights right past me. What is this country coming to?

How did they convert the francs into money?
I could say "Frankfurt, Germany, Europe" but then I repeat myself.
Try teaching this machine about the history of the East India Company.

I'm truly surprised nobody has launched an ad-supported (they would call it "free") texting-only service.
