In Australia we are under grounding more and more cables using horizontal drilling techniques which seem to work well.

So I hire people in countries that don't expect employees to be paid a decent wage.
FTFY

Slashdot, where you get the same news as Theregister, but a week later.

The Swedish already questioned and released the man, and continually state they want to question him, so what possible difference would it make where the questioning takes place? You dont need charges only an arrest warrant for extradition as clearly they already have such a warrant they used to get extradition so again what difference does it make?

Of course the real issue in Europe is they dont have heat waves often and so do not have airconditioning, unlike most hot parts of the US that do. It appears that there is no logical fallacy the blind opponents of public healthcare will not try and use. We have good health care here in Australia, and dont have the french doctors vacation system, which seems to be unique to france.

We have had a electronic ticketing system for public transport in South Australia for many years, the tickets are multi or single use, (with discount multitrip tickets available)and can be purchased anonymously with ease.
We have peak and of peak tickets, works great.

There are no rape charges, he is wanted for questioning, which already occurred whilst he was still in Sweden at the time the incidents occurred, then given permission to leave.
The questioning could occur at the Ecuador embassy anytime, Sweden chooses not to do so.

Those that don't believe the climate models use the same arguments as creationists, anti vaxxers and Birchers, no amount of reasonable discussion or facts make the slightest difference to those who deliberately propound ignorance.

I think decimated meant reduced by ten percent, from the Latin word meaning reduced by one tenth

Which planet do you live on, Australia is not chock full of Chinese at all.

Helicopters are a triumph of engineering over common sense. :)

It's is the deniers that use the same tactics as creationists, any suggestion otherwise is ludicrous.

Yeh, it seems with hdd that if they go for two weeks they will go for a long time. I run a 120 pc network, and have currently got 70+ dells that are now 5 years or more old. Not one drive failed last year. They are all power cycled daily.
The only SSD failure I have had was an awful Runcore device.
The longest lasting drive I have owned was a Quantum fireball 9.1 gig/7200 rpm which is still going after 15 years.

Sympathy applies for all war casualties, there is no more stupid waste of life.

I'm surprised you have more than one towball size.. We only have 2"/50mm. How bizarre.
