Your still doing it wrong On my Mac & Linux boxes I login as an unprivileged user, but can easily become privileges without logging out! You serioulsy can't understand why someone would want to close everything they have running to do something like change some networking setttings?

Comment I thought Australia was bad (Score 1) 554

I've been unemployed before, but wasn't this bad. You get a form once per fortnight to fill, where have you applied for work, and related questions, as well as how much did you earn? If you've been unemployed for a while you build up kind of credit system where you may not get your benefits reduced at all. The other good part is you keep getting the forms for about 2 months of earning 'too much' before your officially cut off. So if you get a temp job picking fruit or whatever, as long as your income drops back off before the forms finish, everything keeps going without any hassle. Don't get me started of the rest of Centrelink though!

They have told me that what we define as KPIs are open to negotation but I'm really not sure what a good measure is, I can only think of the bad such as lines of code, or some other irrelevent measure

Submission + - U.S., Aussie Officials Yank GHB-Metabolizing Toys 1

theodp writes: "Questioned about concerns over China-made toys, Toys 'R' Us CEO Jerry Storch predicted 'this will be the safest holiday season ever.' Oops. On the same day Fortune ran Storch's interview, Toys 'R' Us joined other North American and Australian retailers to pull millions of Chinese-made toy bead sets from shelves after scientists found they contain a chemical that metabolizes into the date-rape drug gamma hydroxy butyrate (GHB) when ingested. Two children in the U.S. and three in Australia were hospitalized after swallowing the beads."
