Question for the Computer Guys

[J_Dunavin]

Linux sucks

ahhaha I love it!
The battle continues... That's me.. the horse is my old PC

[el_ingeniero]

I do believe in the right tool for the job

I use Windows for Linux development in my day job. Not my choice.

At home, I use Linux for everything, and I DJ on linux too ...

Obviously not as backward as those that are down the dunny and had to "let their staff go"

Dunny means toilet, particularly the outdoor types. Young Kiwis/Aussies probably don't use it so much nowadays.

"I'm off to the dunny" = "I'm going to the bathroom"

Now, you should be able to work this one out - "she bangs like a dunny door in a hurricane" ? What do you think that would describe

in cities not so much, but out were i live its still quite common. the old shearers still spin some cracker yarns.

Ach, american banter is bobbins.

I myself have no strong accent but there is nothing more amusing than watching someone who has just flown in from India, having learnt most of their English from Americans, trying to understand broad Yorkshire.

Background youtubing would include 'Yorkshire Airlines' and 'Last of the Summer Wine'.

I've enjoyed many accents, but the most unintelligible was a guy from New Zealand. My wife and I sat nodding our heads at him for ten minutes. Afterwards I said, "So he worked at a milk factory and doesn't have a license. What did you get?" "Nothing." Whatever it was, it was highly entertaining and he laughed at himself every 30 seconds or so.
