Very exciting to see an x86 image being included with this new desktop release. It even includes the ability to install unlike the live image released last year!

As someone from rural QLD, Australia, I feel like we might be losing some of these unique sayings in our vernacular over time. Though we are definitely still hanging onto our diminutives, especially those ending with o, ie and y (E.g. ambo, rego, arvo, servo, barbie, footy).

Have you ever noticed that in Aussie people tend to end stuff with 'o' more often? Nobody else in the world calls documentation 'doco' do they? It's not a hard and fast rule, granted. Pokies, blueys, I guess. For the imagery, I always loved 'flat out like a lizard...' or one of Dame Edna's: 'I feel like a shag on a rock' which always makes the poms smile.

No-one says doco for 'documentation', but they do all the time for 'documentary': "I saw a doco on sharks last night..."

We're definitely losing a lot of our colloquial terms, but not so much the way we speak. It's the nature of language after all, to change over time. I miss some of the terms, and a while back I intentionally started to use 'crikey' again (though that word itself is not hugely missed). Friends of mine, born and bred here, think it's hilariously quaint.

I've used doco for documentation though as you say it is almost exclusively means documentary.

for me docs = documentation and doco = documentary

No-one says doco for documentation? You'd better have a word with everybody in Little Collins Street then mate. (Used to drive me mad bloody victorians).

Strewth. You'd sound like a flamin' galah.

Definitely, we sure do love shortening words, while using an 'o' at the end. It was a bit of an adjustment moving to North America and using the full word, even in casual conversations. Small things like saying "gas/service station" instead of "servo" or "vehicle registration" instead of "rego". Us Aussie's must come across quite unprofessional at times with our slang and sayings like 'flat out like a lizard'.

I saw an old taxi driver use the colloquialism "as blind as a welder's dog" on Enough Rope and that's been my favorite ever since.

That was a great episode. The one I remember from the taxi driver was "went through him like lightning through a wet dog"

two that I heard this year from BT doing footy commentary that I loved: "hard as a cat's head" and "he was all over him like a cheap suit". What a dead set legend!

I'm pretty sure that the full expression is 'flat out like a lizard drinking'. Which is presumably because they can't kneel elegantly at the watering hole, and just splay their limbs.

Yeah it is that. Some monitors carry their heads up most of the time but lie flat to drink.

My favorite was always "don't come the raw prawn with me", aside from being in trouble I never worked out what it meant.

Sparky, chippy, tradie, firey, etc.

I would imagine there will still be a sizable number of jobs outside of Voestalpine group from contractors/companies maintaining machinery and transport companies. Will be interesting the long term impacts as well on the local communities in a country like Austria.

Don't know about that, 3 of the 14 employees monitor the plant, the rest:

  The other employees maintain equipment or retool the plant for various wire gauges—hundreds of variations ranging from 4.5 millimeters to 60 millimeters.

Good point, that takes care of maintenance. Definitely a small/efficient workforce for the amount of output.

I mean, to what extent of maintenance are they talking about? At some point, someone has to fix the machines that fix the machines, right?

And who said maintenance can't be automated?

and why not! it's just another thing we think we're uniquely good at :p

Also RocketSpace will be opening their first Canadian office in Calgary. The local government is starting to push for a bigger tech industry and add diversity away from the oil/gas industry that has dominated the city. Also the climate isn't so bad with plenty of sunshine and warm Chinook winds occasionally during the winter.

This is a great result for Tesla and shows the benefits of an electric SUV. Though it would be interesting to see results from Euro NCAP and IIHS as well, as the Model X has yet to be tested by either.

Interesting though how Mozilla will be releasing Firefox Screenshots for Chrome too in the future. Chrome's built in screenshot tool in dev tools has been improving in recent versions of Canary, with full screen capture now added. I'll be keen to see how it compares.

Great feature/add-on to have built into Firefox though without the need to get an add-on.
