Wow it must be really expensive where you are. I get unlimited calls/text and several gigabytes for around $20 per month. And my country (Australia) is considered expensive.

I have voted for the pirate party #1 since they started here!

I upgraded the horn in one of my old cars. It melted the wires going to the horn button. :( Horn relay? What's that?

I've seen it for sale but never actually bought it. Plenty of good beers to choose from instead!

This looks like $75 to me: http://www.apple.com/au/shop/p...

Albeit Australian dollars...

A corner case would be at an intersection of two edge cases! Almost by definition.

I have E1M1 as my ring tone. Some people get it, most don't.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

There are too many stupid people in the world. Stupidity isn't necessarily a permanent thing: it could be caused by time constraints, personal problems or even lack of/too much caffeine. Or just because one doesn't think of the problem from start to finish.

But then this could be what "they" want you to believe :)

We'll be moving all our clients to https-only within a couple of months. We have systems to deal with that!

I have the option of working 7-3 or 10-6 (or anything in between). More businesses need this flexibility! It would also lessen the peaks in traffic. It would also nullify any benefit of DST.

I used to work a 15 minute walk from the beach. I would have an early morning swim before work in summer. :)

Exactly. Telstra (Australia's largest mobile carrier, and operator of one of the largest networks (by area covered) in the world) has already signalled the end of 2G. Their 3G network has a far larger coverage than their 2G: Optus 2G covers a greater area than Telstra 2G (Optus 3G still has about a million square kilometres to catch up to Telstra 3G though).

I've had my PV since 2010 back with maximum rebate, and got solar hot water at the same time. It has well and truly paid for itself already. Being in Queensland solar is a no-brainer!

The 1950s movie or the more recent miniseries?

My wife is on a $15/year prepaid plan! :) Of course everything is PAYG out of that credit, like 12c/SMS, 12c/minute and 5c/MB data. Incoming SMS and calls are free. But she doesn't use it very much. And of course this is not in the USA...

In my office there are two zones, but the thermostats are right next to each other. So that half the office is freezing and the other half is a sauna. Have to set the hot side a few degrees lower to get any kind of comfort.
