      So a good day is now defined by what is on /.?

      I can see it now:

      Slashdot Story Coolness Index Up, It's a good day.

      Holland, MI (Reuters) - Slashdot posted stories about new blah blah blah and nobody beatched about anything. Also, not a single story was a duplicate. Geeks passing out everywhere from sheer joy of being alive.

      Ever notice how some people just post to see their own words in print? The online analog to politicians and other blowhards.

    Don't complain about news like this being posted... It's almost 3:00am EST, I'm working a night shift, and I'm just happy that there is some sort of posting going on at all.
    More power to these New Zealand geeks...

    I know some people from New Zealand, and they're pretty nice. I've heard it's pretty too, they filmed the Lord of the Rings there, as well as some other movies, I believe.

    Yeah, we all know you USians aren't interested in anything that happens west of California, east of New York, north of the Great Lakes and south of Texas, but guess what - there's 250 million of you, and 6 billion of us.

    What do these countries have in common? 1. A more populous immediate neighbor with a bigger economy and a bigger attitude 2. Lots of territory, but not a lot is useable 3. Friendly semi-rivalry with that neighbor: NZ/CA/NA have a friendly rivalry, but the neighbor is oblivious 4. 95% of foreign disputes relate to fish
