I suspect the reason is that it is just straight up expensive to ship to Australia from most places. We're actually quite a long way way. Adding to this is that most only retailers aren't shipping enough overseas to negotiate bulk

The United States was a country last time I checked, unless Mexico and Canada have mysteriously disappeared. A country roughly the same size as Australia, which has a significantly smaller population. The Australian government came up with

That's an interesting question. I know I've tried to get a cab during a busy time and just given up and caught public transit home. Generally this is Friday and Saturday nights, when most people are in no condition to be driving t

Taxi drivers are actually employees in some places? I had assumed most drivers were already under some non-employee structure in most jurisdictions pre-uber. That's certainly the case here in Australia where taxi drivers were making un

Having disassembled the aforementioned Z3C a couple of times, I disagree that it's fine to have to break out the tools for it ever. It's a tough job, with lovely warnings like this one from iFixit: "Warning first: Never try t

What strikes me as odd about this is that the laptops weren't encrypted to begin with. Relying on remote encryption to protect the data could have been defeated by simply taking the network offline at the beginning of the raid. Potent

Why isn't the statement that people on high incomes can afford to pay more tax generally true? Simply feeling that the tax you pay is adequate does not mean paying more would be unaffordable. Certainly you could more afford it than som

Really? I've been impressed with Kiwibank's balancing security and usability. Rabobank NZ have two factor authentication too. Of course if you're with one of the four majors, well... they're owned by Australians, what di
