@johnny, @Dales Cannon and @beeb. Good to see people's true colours come out on this site, the same fucking each other in arse all the time.

Tradies and labourers are on fixed wages for one, not on some billion-dollar deal negotiated by a manager. Tradies don't generally earn an income in the millions. Even many actors are hard done by the movie industry, it's something 2% make it to the top. You only have to look at how most of...

Billion dollar industry, producers, talent scouts and managers with more money than what they'll ever need or use, there's more than enough money to go around. Yet you see many of these retired actors die penniless and homeless, none of these chunts reach out to them and offer them a home. I'm...

Supporting hollywood is the same thing these days. You only have to look at all these child stars who are exploited and left penniless.

They haven't found "cough cough" pirate sites, yet. :D

I bought a VN Commodore like that once; if you parked on a slight incline, it would give a few knocks on startup. It ended up being a worn thrust bearing on the crank. It seemed to get worse and worse by the day until it did it on flat ground. If you really pulled on the harmonic balancer from...

Nothing wrong with a looksie at what you have there. Usually, if you see one or two out in the open, there'll be many more hidden around the place. I got a heap of eastern browns here. I just keep a mental note to look down when I go through long grass.

Lay some roofing iron on the ground and lift it up with a rake or stick every couple of days; you'll be surprised what you'll find under there.

The best one I've seen is power steering fluid in the brake and clutch master cylinders. Another was an old diesel Hilux that had been overfilled with engine oil, and it actually had a runaway engine on the side of the highway, emitting large plumes of smoke.

How many criminal checks do they do on linux and distro developers? When most people talk about Linux, they usually mean it as a complete operating system, not just the Linux kernel. Your system with Ubuntu still has to connect to a server or with something that has in the past to update.

A local snake catcher put up a pic of a snake bite on a person's thumb with really bad necrosis. Someone asked what snake it was, and I thought tiger for sure, but they said it was a red belly black.

There's absolutely nothing stopping a developer from hiding a secret acces to the Linux server; it can be downloaded from third-party sites. Who are you going to take legal action against once all your details are stolen?

It's most likely more the fact that Linux is a much smaller usage group to target, but it's not unheard of. I haven't had a virus with Windows in the last 10 years, and I stopped using a third-party firewalls at least 15 years ago. Is it just luck, or do they not want to look at pics of my...

A lot of people complain about our govt and rightfully so in some cases, but we don't have the levels of corruption like South Somalia, Venezuela or Myanmar.

Corruption at very high levels is the problem in most 3rd world countries; the money never goes where it needs to. It doesn't help any when they have a social stratification that consists of a class-based society, because of what religion or tribe bloodline you come from. Big mountains to...

The problem with stuff like Linux is that it's easy for computer hackers to get into your system; it's an open source, so programmers know all the back doors. I've got a couple of riding buddies that work for the AFP, and they won't even let me take a pick of them without their glasses and...

The Problem with population growth in capital cities is that they've had to build out from the centre of the CBDs in the past few decades. All your decent water sources and rich soils are where they considered populating 100s of years ago, and now they removed the top soil and built over the...
