what software is necessary to ensure that they can operate in the secured environment?

Who or what are they?

What kind of secured environment? (Secured - how?) (Environment - what environment?)

The more specific you are, the more specific an answer you will receive.

Otherwise, I'd just say, "BSD, properly configured".

only occasionally do I need to look these things up - mostly I have to look up localized idiomatic expressions which i just can't understand without any context (e.g., Jacky Howe ;) ). Of course, Cockney Rhyming Slang would generally have to go through a translator. General spelling or noun substitution aren't much of a problem. Heavy accents which I've never heard before would probably do me in.

Someday, I may have to say, "Sorry, old man, we don't understand your banter." But not today. No NITS for me, thanks. :D

I'd like to wrap this up by saying, "Australia, Australia, Australia, we love you! Amen!" Just for Jacky. ;)

the Australian language bloke.

A woman with nice breasts = fargonebeautiesmate :p

I had to change the name when I was being referred to as fargon. ;)

Edit:

LOL I got the idea for the name after my mate Vinnie introduced me to a band that he was a roadie for. They are a great band and take the mickey out of a variety of songs.

It never fails to confuse me - particularly [u]after[/u] someone has 'explained' it to me. :^0

by seanferd

I'd entirely forgotten your prior handle! Seriously, people were referring to you as "fargon"? Like fargon leghorn? :D

Really though, my memory of Aussie colloquialisms has gone Walkabout. I don't get as much exposure as I did in the '80s. A lot of it seems self-explanatory, but there is always some idiom I won't get even if the meaning is explained, so I'll have to look up the etymology. Of course, there is a lot of slang in the States that leaves me completely clueless as to why anyone would bother to use it at all! F'rinstance, do you know what the popular U.S. equivalent for your moniker (as used to describe a more generic version of the legendary Jacky Howe's shirt) is?

by rob miners

singlet, tank top?

Stone the crows mate I wouldn't have a clue. :p

by seanferd

"wifebeater"

I can see where this might come from in our lovely culture, but to refer to a tank top this way for general use make me want to heave. I mean, WTF?

Let us never speak of it again. :-&

I should have chosen a different example.

by rob miners

I know a lot of shearers and labourers that wore them and I doubt that they were all wife beaters. Bloody kids there ought to be a law against having them. :p

I feel that it has all been taken out of context but my OH reminded me of some old movies that portrayed the villain in a white singlet.

by seanferd

Every time the cops have to respond to a "domestic", the guy invariably looks like this:

It's easier to portray a guy as slovenly and disgusting (and a likely wife-beater)when you can see his his impossibly large bush of chest and axillary hair, and the thin, torn, and greying cotton ribbed tank top undershirt has stains on it.

Really nothing like the original Jacky Howe, or most other tank top type things for that matter, but somehow it is a somewhat popular nomenclature. Go figure. Actually, I believe the first time I ever heard it was from some chick who suggested that I'd be cooler if I wore a w-b. "!WTF did you just say?"
