I did a quick Google for this and the statistics I found at http://www.forbes.com/sites/ja... showed this to be wrong. There are plenty of other resources which show the same thing.
I don't believe the bit about NZ is true. The Trans-Pacific cables (as far as I'm aware) charge by the megabit, but this price has dropped dramatically - to the point where flat-rate is actually becoming "reasonable" in New Zealand - due in part of-course to Kim Dotcom. Also, the claims about peak performance are exaggerated, and in practice you can still over-subscribe at peak times as not everyone is utilising it at *exactly* the same time.
I've also driven in cars which have odometers that stop at 999,999 miles. Does that indicate that the simple gauge can have anything to say about the useful lifespan of the car? Shit I'm at 999,998 miles but I'm 3 miles from home. My car is going to die 1 mile from home!
Not so. Your old car just gets automagically swapped for a new one 1 mile from home.
It is relatively straightforward to use DRBD to loopback across 127.0.0.1 and protocol A to set exactly this up. I'd link to the blog which demonstrates how I did this, but don't want to get slashdotted. (Googling "drbd-for-ssdusb nz" should hopefully show you how to do this if you care enough to google for it)

Nope. Everyone else in the world has an exactly average or slightly below average sleep requirement - all 7 billion of us.
