  1. I am no expert on computers, but my personal opinion is; Each new version of operating system is intended to be more secure from hackers and malicious outsiders. A. Before considering the upgrade, verify whether your computer will run Win11 satisfactorily. Microsoft doesn't guarantee this before it orders you to upgrade. B. Alternatively:- If you don't use your computer for critical stuff such as banking, you are not at much risk from hackers. After all, if uou only use it for emails and casual websearches, the worst they can steal from your computer, is your contact list (& their details). Or they can block your access to your hard disk and blackmail you for a password to release it back to you. Ideally, you should always run the latest version of software, on the latest computer, and keep it updated.
  2. No, I think Stormy's groans were fake news.
  3. Dictators are more likely to respond favorably to wealth, above all else.
  4. Informative....... Because that is the expected USA awareness of the real world
  5. He could have saved a whole lot of angst and expense if he implemented this at the beginning. (Assuming it is true news)
  6. ...... ing
  7. Jerry is fully groan
  8. Well it deserved them all.
  9. What the F.R. Simms Motor Scout started way back then, has beenrediscovered. Ukrainians and Russians are presently using motorcycle brigades for fast attacks.
  10. There sure is. But now 90 billion of it is going to USA via Boeing sales. And another 140 billion is going to USA weapons sales. And these deals were 'negotiated' by Trumpy totally reliant on the Saudi's own interpreter. Personally I wouldn't buy a used car from a foreigner without having my own interpreter present. Money talks!
  11. And I've got a sailboat - the worlds most expensive and slowest way to go someplace for free.
  12. There ya go, highjacking a great thread by chuckin in rational logic.....
  13. Because it only had a 1.5hp engine?
  14. Normalised deviance.
  15. OME, you are right to point out the greater importance of the candidate's track record. But in this case, I think the gender of the new leader of the Liberals is noteworthy. For that party, it is a radical departure from their historic avoidance of females in any important position.
  16. Aren't the Ruskies using these in Ukraine?
  17. A lot of folk might just have put Libs last, lower than the minors and the nuts. Which would make the minors get a better % compared to last election. But all the voter is saying is "anything but Dutton".
  18. I rather think it demonstrates the effective powerful anti-green, minor party &independents. lobby. Combined with a general lack of understanding of how to vote under the line. IE, how to use your preferences.
  19. But unfortunately some crazy old bloke recently transformed USA from being a defective democracy into a fully fledged demoncrazy. So you don't get any say in it until your net worth is over 9 digits (and your nose is brown)
  20. Hey! Don't go blaming ME!
  21. In a real democracy, we all would get to vote on who gets a seat on the mars ship.
  22. In my opinion, BOTH sides (Palestinian & Israel) need to be metaphorically grabbed by the scruff of the neck and given a shake. Further, other countries should starve BOTH sides of weaponry. Otherwise they are supporting atrocities against civilians - probably because of hidden interests. Wiping out the whole population of one country is the most uncivilised way ttotry to stop a conflict.
  23. I think Jerry was talking about the cars, not the house.
  24. The Modern movie industry reinforces the notion that violence and retribution can solve any problem. Any wonder that people thus indoctinated are inclined to be devisive angry and unforgiving?
  25. Anti Netanyahu/Israel is not (according to many Australian Jews) the same thing as antisemite. Maybe Bant just didn't like the number of innocents getting killed.
