    Interesting Commentary On Microsoft Windows' Rise- And Fall

    That's one of the plusses with Linux, no more worries about viruses and privacy protection. Changing over to a new OS is a bit frustrating at first though, simply because you won't know your way around the system and it takes a little while for Windows habits to change. What most people do is...

    Interesting Commentary On Microsoft Windows' Rise- And Fall

    :) Computers have become faster by making all the components smaller so they can jam more switches in to a single processor. Smaller components means smaller wiring which means it doesn't need as much electricity to overheat it and burn it out. The more often your computer gets hot the sooner...

    Color deficiency/anomaly and autism

    Within reason slight variations in how the colour appears on a screen doesn't bother me, as a Printer I never expected anything on a screen to perfectly match what's in print because it can't really happen. Different media formats affect the "appearance" of a colour, even just change what paper...

    I think many NTs also struggle with social situations.

    I didn't hear about that one but it's very typically Aussie, a natural cultural response that no one even has to suggest, it just seems to happen organically. You can't stop us from being ourselves. :)

    This is a picture of Brutus, a large croc popular with tourists on the Adelaide River in the top end. If he grabbed a human around the middle I don't fancy their chances.

    Many years ago a couple of young German girls asked me about camping sites around Kunnanurra. I described a spot to them almost in the town on the banks of the Ord River, a beautiful spot, but I warned them not to swim there because of the crocs. One of the girls said "Don't be silly, they just...

    To be fair though the story says the were "headed back to Melbourne" so I assume they were city people unlikely to know any better.

    Inland it's an area of floods at the moment. And more people that don't know you can't use Google as a navigation tool. They were driving from Darwin To Melbourne and Google showed them a short cut.... Father and daughter walk 13km for help after escape from flooded car

    Welcome to the forum. I was in my 50s and long grassing it about 170 Ks out of Darwin when I found out about autism, what a revelation that was. Caused me to reevaluate my entire life. Absolutely zero in the way of services up in Darwin though, they actually do have services but you have to...

    They're a recently discovered species, and yes, they breathe through their bums while head down and feeding on aquatic plants. We had an idiot living in Melbourne back during covid who hoarded and stockpiled toilet paper thinking to make money off of it. The average Aussie was highly offended...

    Any fellow Linux users on here?

    I converted a lot of people to Linux a few years back. The biggest problem they had was that all the programs have different names and different icons and they struggle to find what they're looking for. I imagine they'd have the exact same problems if they tried to use a Mac for the first time...

    I think many NTs also struggle with social situations.

    The only real problems with supply that we had during covid was stupidity of our own making coupled with government corruption in the form of allowing bad business practice. Our groceries industry is dominated by 2 major players. We call it a Duopoly and there's often investigations in to...
