Thank you for the explanation. Yes, I'm brown. :) Although I know a little bit about US politics, I don't know much. This was clearly a case of misunderstanding on my part. Cheers.

Yes, true. I didn't understand it as well. that's why I deleted it.

Thanks mate. You've to be too careful these days I reckon. My housemates and I had loads of fun calling each other names. They would call me curry muncher and I called them unseasoned chicken wings and we laughed it off. I don't s

I probably should stop commenting on these forums. I meant Aussie housemates when I wrote white housemates. I didn't have any ill-intentions while writing it. My only intention was to share the common name of the plant!

The tree is called Gympie gympie in Australia. As an immigrant in Australia, my white housemates educated me diligently about the dangers of hiking in the Aussie bush. Except for drop bears every bit of education I got is true! :D

From what I've heard, the locals didn't trick them. One captain apparently had to do his business in the bush and used the leaves to clean himself. He was just unaware.

It depends on what and how much one is learning from it. I once interviewed a guy for an ETL developer role. He was supporting an ETL application. In four years, all he had done was restart the application in case of any issues and it someh

@djrobstep mate, be realistic and give credit where credit's due! @KiwiJohnno Nice one! :D

Come on mate. He is at least a proper engineer. He builds stuff himself. No project gets delivered exactly on the promised date. There is always a delay. That's normal. I'm a petrol head (read idiot) and I don't like Tesla ca

It does seem like a US-centric thing. I've faced several interviews here in Australia and the teams care more about how the candidate will fit into the team. Most them sort of assume that what's written in the resume is correct. S

Yeah, absolutely. IOS is very restrictive in terms of what you can achieve on it as a developer or a power user. But it's an amazing device for artists and content creators. Packs enough CPU power for their needs. My wife has been cons

hey.. thanks for the comment. I didn't mean marijuana usage made my friend sharp. They just happen to be intelligent and interesting people. Yes, I do understand why it's better to decriminalise it. But, you're absolutely cor

I know what you mean. ThinkPads are definitely chunky and are in the similar price range as Macs. If I didn't have the Macbook pro (16gigs with core -i5) from work, I'd probably buy a Macbook air. I feel that the Air series offer

Fair enough. You've my upvote. I live in Australia. While, it's not legal, it's pretty common here. Yes I don't live next to someone who smokes all day. I do know someone who smokes and bakes cookies. Their house smells

I'm sure there are thousands of rock stars and musicians and artists, who have "lame personality" from marijuana usage. How do you even define "lame personality"? I personally know a few people who're extremely

That's utter rubbish. It has a distinctive scent and I'm sure many people would find it pleasant. Fine, don't make it legal to smoke it public places, just as cigarettes.

very true. I've used several other brands of laptops, mostly because they're cheaper. None have lasted more than 2 years. I've had Compaq, Fujistsu, HP, Asus and a ThinkPad. Only the ThinkPad still works. I had one of the ear

I must say that all the Apple products my wife and I have used so far, have been very reliable. They're expensive but when you consider the quality and durability they usually have better value. But their repair service can be utterly

Let me start by saying that my comment might be downvoted. However, I'm just wondering if the device justifies the price tag. For a little more I could get an iPad Air, which can do a lot more. Granted the battery needs to be charged e

I'm not sure if WhatsApp's chat data is accessed by FB too. I thought it was impossible after they implemented end-to-end encryption. A friend of mine recently bought a mattress and talked about it with other friends in a WhatsApp

I used to work on an IBM AIX system as a data warehouse developer. That was on Power architecture but unfortunately I didn't know much about this architecture back then.

Thanks mate. Yes that's true.

I don't understand why my comment got down voted. But yes, as one of you have pointed out, it's just my opinion. And I don't think the original draft of this law as much to do with giving your data to the govt, but more about

I'd probably trust the Australian govt to protect my data better than Google or even worse Facebook. The way the article has twisted the words in Google's favour is commendable though. Marketing really is everything.

Thanks man.. I know. I've an old Asus laptop/netbook with an Atom processor. Quad-core I might add. The travesty! It's slow as hell. I bought it because it had an 11 inch screen and I wanted something small. I bought it for A

Hey mate. The rig looks awesome. How is the performance output compared to a regular desktop with Ryzen-5/7 or Core-i7 processor in it? Can it run Spark? Apologies if my questions are irrelevant. I'm not sure if Spark/Java wo

I don't think I'd notice the difference when it comes to frame rates. I might but probably won't bother me unless it's almost not playable. :)

hahahah.. True indeed. Ignorance is bliss! :D Yes, the Switch is pretty neat as it is. I guess serious gamers would consider a PS Pro or one of those fast Xboxes! :D
