Three used to be a mobile carrier brand here, but Hutchinson and Vodafone now jointly run a network under the 'Vodaphone' name.

Vodafone runs a distant 3rd in terms of subscribers compared to the Telstra and Optus networks but might pick up a few thousand new users if the global roaming outside Australia was compelling.

Atoms in tablets were never about performance. Your CPU has an astonishingly bad 105W TDP, which uses (at least) 10 times the power.

Fanless computing in a small enclosure...

Itanic was supposed to succeed both Alpha and i386 but then AMD came along with amd64?

MIPS ain't extinct.

They're about to enter the tablet market with a dual core SoC featuring a blazingly fast PowerVR GPU.

Performance looked a tad sluggizh but that's possibly Spidermonkey needing fine tuning for MIPS

Both the Government (Liberal/National) and main opposition party (Labor) voted for the legislation.

That's about 90% of the parliament wanting to throw us under a bus, so I'm not sure how voting for a non-niche party would have helped.

I voted Greens.

Dude, 70 years ago - build a bridge.

Cheap European exports are shit. Caveat emptor!

That's not to say quality olive oil isn't produced in Mediterranean countries but if the price is too good to be true, beware.

Bigamy is legal?

How easy is it to emigrate? :)

A lot of Aussies travel freely on student/working holiday visas but those dry up once you hit 30. Unless you have a European grandmother and can thus get residency, opportunities are limited, was my impression.

show some respect, Hedy was a nerd AND a movie goddess.

She's probably best recognised by geeks by her likeness (unauthorised) appearing on Corel software packaging.

*two* of them, you mean one wasn't plenty? :)

Californication is the follow-on series anyway. Hank (Mulder), Karen (Scully), Becca (Scully's love child with either aliens or Mulder, no one knows)

All it needs is some young Snowden-like stud (played by Tim Minchin!) to sweep Scully off her feet and make Fox jealous, all the while he's having a bit on the side with Walter Skinner's jailbait daughter. Melodrama at it's finest?

because Steve Jobs.

He he. I wondered if MIT had done a deal with Martin Odersky's Typesafe or partnered with EPFL.

Scala as a teaching language in the USA?
