Australia not committing suicide; we are already dead - that's why they call us the down-under; the grave of the world. Killed by our wanker leaders.

hmmm just let them come for me :D

If you compare it to other server systems, it is pretty typical. I remember talking to Cisco about buying some lug nuts for our rack and they quoted me a price that was one-hundred…

The real issue in Australia, as I imagine it is in most countries, is the fossil fuel industries lobbying the government. Oh and because of lies and misinformation told to voters (…

Ah, while there is a lot of good advice here, but just reading your symptoms, it sounds like you may have adult ADHD. Forget what most people think ADHD is, it should technically b…

Sand blasting, esp. soda blasting. You can start with cheap equipment and work up from there. If I had to start from scratch, this would be it.

Ah. Alan Kay himself said that he feels they got the boundaries/sizing wrong when designing OO, so there really shouldn't be any mention of 'blind worship'. As far as I am aware, K…

One of the many reasons why I hate PayPal, Visa and MasterCard

There are some nice opinions put forth in this essay, but that's just it: opinion does not carry the same weight as a scientific theory. And all the great examples of scientists ig…

Thank you. Some really awesome tools their that I hadn't seen before.

He missed the best part: you, your consciousness, what in folklore we would call your soul, is nothing more than a sidecar pilot program for the phenotype your dna has 'chosen' to …

This list is awesome. I would love to shake your hand, but I am fairly sure I would never be able to find you.

ah... no

It is a very interesting topic and a good article. I did prefer Don Reinertsen's discussion of it though (I was lucky enough to see and meet him at a Yow! conference in Melbourne) …

I wouldn't say penalised. They should very likely need to be titled appropriately though. ie. Paywall: That said, some other articles should highlight that they are paid for by thi…

Uh hemmmm... So now paid publishers are: a) unbiased b) don't sell clickbait c) well researched d) non invasively targeted... Holy shit batman. Do you work for the NY Times?

Hear Hear. Did it at least mention that English scientists with help from allies, produced the work that demonstrated that the atom bomb was possible? Maybe if the Nazis had it han…
