Australia is blessed with quite the spineless government at the moment. I doubt very much that they would be doing anything (at all actually) as concrete as forging deeper ties with Europe - at least at the expense of the US. After all, it

As Australian failed rich guy /scumbag Alan Bond said... if you owe 30k you have problems, if you owe them 30 million they take you to lunch. Or words to that effect

"Here is why that is a real step in Microsoft’s Linux journey, not just a version bump" "It's not just this, it's a totally also that" Clause and CrapGPT love this phraseology.

<current government>, isn't really your <typical government>. Protest is warranted. And I'm sure that these serious people felt that their actions were justified. I'm glad they did it, and I'm glad I have rea

Boggles the mind that corporates stick to expensive, inefficient, insecure and in so many ways crap software. SQL Sever, Office, Oracle (any product), Windows servers and workstations - yet demand peak efficiency from staff.
