I remember seeing that on the F3 north of Sydney, back in the 80s.

They're put the aerial speed check signs and road markings back now, but I don't think they actually do any flying. The 'aerial speed check' location just happens to be right next to Warervale Airport - so motorists see a cessna coming in to land, and slow down.

Smallest in 10 years, you say?

Here's a story blaming the ozone hole for TOO MUCH ice

Not for much longer. http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/01/23/3196194/drug-tracking-fat-albert-blimp.html

Maybe they're moving it to DC?

I went to an airshow last weekend with my Canon 5D mkII and 400mm lens. I got some great shots.

I'm not sure how the woman holding her iPad up to the sky went.

I have a static IPv4, they just can't yet offer static v6

I have a whole bunch of /64's in my /48. The problem is they keep changing every time pppoe reconnects.

Yesterday I had 2406:e000:e26c/48, today I have 2406:e000:e317::/48

I'm guessing you use Internode? I used them when I lived in Sydney, theyr'e great.

And they've decided that everybody gets a static /56 now.

I wish my ISP could offer me static IPv6, but they currently can't do it!. Right now I have a dynamic /48....

It isn't just their cheap stuff. One of my Cisco 877s started randomly rebooting.

The two large caps on the board were faulty, so I replaced them and now it works perfectly.

I work from home most days. Getting to the office requires 45 minutes in the car to get to the airport, 4 hours on a 737, then a 20 minute taxi trip.

virtualisation often has issues with timekeeping. I wouldn't run an NTP server on a VPS.

Sydney Harbour doesn't get earthquakes. Solid standstone a long way from the edge of the plate.

But yeah, this new cable is only about 100m from the bridge, and a couple of hundred metres from the tunnel.

The Appliance has a bunch of limitations (like not working with View Composer, etc).

It also isn't available anymore. There was a 5.0 version, however with the release of 5.0U1, there is only the Windows version - "vCenter Server Appliance 5.0 Update 1 will be available later this year." Link

I have a DSL service 20,000 feet from the CO. It syncs at 6 megabit/sec.

Depends on the movie.. at least you can put your own content on a blank :)
