The laws were modelled on similar legislation offshore and Turnbull said local additions have strengthened the drafts.

So I'm guessing they did a find/replace on the word America and replaced it with Australia. Turnball the sock puppet of the U.S.

Well it beats being tortured by Justin beiber

Having the tech Storage in an alcove in a church, that is so American Gods

Now that's cool.

Well what else could they do? They couldn't change their logo an empty green rectangle was already taken

But even as those dead-eyed bastards proliferate

At first I thought the article was talking about the latest batch of MBA graduates, not robots. Then I realised a difference without a distinction.

Wait so,

A special inquiry/commission/investigation found out that some politicians are corrupt and colluded with anyone that could help them win an election. these same politicians when finally caught in the headlights are now trying to talk themselves out of any wrong doing.

Well colour me FUCKING surprised.

Does anyone actually believe that any political "leader" from any country on either side of the aisle is even relatively clean. Trump and Clinton are corrupt as each other. Here in Australia we have Barnaby Joyce, Oh sorry, I forgot, I'm also a Kiwi. My bad. It's not like I did anything wrong , Honest.

I always wondered where software went to die

Now I know it is sent to HCL. Helping Code Lapse

Well where else would you dump a genocidal robot

In a sydney street not so long ago. So engrossed in reading a facebook page some dimwitted muppet heard the walk sound coming from the pedestrian box, but for the other side. He started to walk out into traffic. I yanked them back onto the kerb in time before they became grill art for the semi barrelling down the road.

My reward: swearing and cursing that I had torn his shirt slightly.

Darwin I am more sorry than you can imagine please forgive me.

with US pre-sales teams taking a big hit.

"Well of course we don't need them anymore, we're not selling any products?

Some $700m of those savings will be plowed back into the biz.

"Of course due to the massive savings we have made , most of this will be soaked up by the exec team in bonuses"

Read between the lines and you can almost hear the troll speaking these words.

<shiver>

The icon really doesn't do her justice, does it?

Well considering all the layoffs over the last 6 months , revenue would be up.

Unfortunately for the "C" execs they can't keep relying on layoffs to improve their bottom line. So it will be interesting to see their performance over the next 6-18months. My guess not so good.

The Fruit company v a patent troll company.

My mind is in vapour lock trying to figure out who it wants to lose

I know get the lawyers involved to settle this with an old fashion pistol duel. 2 paces apart though, wouldn't want one of the lawyers accidentally walking away.

Micro$luts screw up another patch. Not exactly news nowadays.

I'm waiting for the news article

"Patch Tuesday completes flawlessly, Sysadmins able complete real work due to stress free day"

Though this will happen on the same day I win the lottery, My unicorn gives birth to a gold egg laying goose and the business users are able to articulate a full set of requirements well in advance of the due by date (unicorn giving birth is still more likely i think).

Intel YouTubed an unboxing video,

Did they find the cat alive or dead in there?

Snake Oil. Pure and simple

Another week and get to go through the same ol' dance steps. Test, install, fix again, then it's the start of a new week.

Oh look, a new set of critical patches for Windows.

<Sigh>

Well if the federal and state governments would stop selling off national assets and infrastructure like it's a Saturday afternoon garage sale, the list would be easy

Fetlang is not recommended for production use

OH! I don't know it would make code reviews much more interesting.

Dear Malcolm,

I had chance to review a recent interview you conducted on the ABC program. There are many points I need to make in response to a number of your comments. I shall be as pointedly eloquent as I can.

1. YOU DUMBASS STUPID Mo&^$%F(*!@#. GET YOUR GREEDY TWO BIT MEDIA WHORE FINGERS OUT OF MY PERSONAL LIFE.

2. STOP F)(*#*& GETTING YOUR IDEAS OFF TV SHOWS (person of interest)

3. YOU STUPID W*&^#$ Do you have any filters between your Brain and mouth.

4. Seriously Just F*&K OFF, you slack jawed Imbecile.

It took a great deal of restraint to not post what I really thought.

So El Reg is the motto changing from

Biting the hand that IT to

Shaking the hand that hands over the cash!

The amazing thing is that someone actually thought the readers would believe any of that marketing drivel

But then Like I always say

If you can't dazzle them with the detail. Baffle them with Bullshit

Presumably the judge's wife wasn't thrilled with that statement.

Yep apparently she was overheard talking to the convicted felon inquiring into those "Muscle relaxants"

It's rare these days to praise law enforcement. In this instance, though, nicely done to those that were able to track down, arrest and successfully prosecute the slime involved.

Pffft. 5-10 minutes waiting.

Work configured Lenovo thinkpad Windows 10 installed. Do a reboot and watch win 10 as it cycles through applying updates, removing updates, attempting updates , rinse and repeat This morning login time topped out at 45 minute.

Still provided enough time to grab a coffee and catch up on the goings on over the weekend with colleagues.

I remember the good ol' days of whining at windows 7 taking 1-2 minutes to reboot.

So Windows 10 is still F.F.F.F.F. ucked then.

Great yet another way one of the great unwashed can annoy me. Email, and any other form of instant chat is just another way for those in the office to simply palm off any problems or issues they may have onto someone else so it becomes their problem. No need {diety} forbid think or try to solve it yourself. Nope simply send the message and someone else will come running to solve it.

They did it yesterday no more than 10 meters away and they send an email and a service desk for a simple printer problem. Really, Select the right one you friggin' brainless moron.

Nope no way will I accept another way these thoughtless twits can annoy me

.

.

That was quite cathartic. Thanks. I suppose I can put the fire axe down and start my work day

Well If you are going to fuck up you may as well fuck up in spectacular fashion. I tip my hat at Equifax, they have managed a fuck up of monumental proportions .

I mean it. Congratulations to everyone involved at equifax, you bunch of brainless wankers

Mirror copy of all My source systems just for reporting. Is the author serious !!!!!!

Seven figures to implement the hardware to host all that, Not to mention the ongoing costs involved. Plus the fact it gets you no closer to a solution that the business requires. All for the sake of holding raw transaction data from multiple source systems that may or may not at sometime in the future maybe needed by the business.

Or carefully implement an overnight batch process that retrieves the data the business "NEEDS" to see in their reports and analysis, processed, summarised where needed and ready for viewing the next day.

Now if we could remove or update all of the old deadwood and legacy politicians still hanging around, that should save a shiny penny or two.
