    Yay, king of cut and paste. :-)
    Now I rekon it's time for a pint. Don't nobody shoot no-one on the motorway. It took me 3/4 hour to get there last week.

  • Hard News: The Trophy Hunter,

    Oh, it's great.

    Who is she?

    Lucinda Williams (born January 26, 1953[1]) is an American rock, folk, and country music singer and songwriter. She recorded her first albums in 1978 and 1980 in a traditional country and blues style and received very little attention from radio, the media or the public. In 1988, she released her self-titled album, Lucinda Williams. This release featured "Passionate Kisses" a song later recorded by Mary Chapin Carpenter which garnered Lucinda her first Grammy (Best Country Song, 1994). Known for working slowly, Lucinda recorded and released only one other album in the next several years (Sweet Old World in 1992) before her greatest success came in 1998 with Car Wheels On A Gravel Road. This album presented a broader scope of songs that fused rock, blues, country and Americana into a more unique style that still managed to remain consistent and commercial in sound. It went gold and earned Lucinda another Grammy while being universally acclaimed by critics. Since Car Wheels, she has released a string of albums that have also been critically acclaimed, though none have sold in the numbers of her 1998 breakthrough. She was also named "America's best songwriter" by TIME magazine in 2002.[2]

    Of course, if they had used Open Source Software, they would have saved a fortune. I blame Microsoft. ;-)

    I think I'll let someone else answer Craig. I have said what I wanted to say. No offence meant or taken Craig, it's just that we wear different coloured blinkers I guess.

    ... doormats with 'There's No Place Like 127.0.0.1' written on them.

    What, "There's No Place Like loopback"? I'll have "There's No Place Like ~"

    Ok. How about 192.168.1.X

  • Hard News: The Trophy Hunter,

    The timeline of the ODHB thing is a bit murky but even if Thompson did address it immediately when he "became aware" it had been going on for 5 years under his watch, surely there's a confidence in his governance issue there ?

    I think a DHB has a little more on it's plate than to look for fraud in it's IT sector.
    IT is still one of those "mystery" areas that tend to get left to their own devices. Would Thompson have known how much he SHOULD have been spending on technical support?

    Craig, do you know nothing of the story? They got those bastards with the help of Thomson. The call for Thomson's resignation is crap political point scoring. You should know better, oh I forgot, you still hold a candle for the right wing ideology, eh.
