Nah, the same deal applies here, but maybe our contracts are different? You sign up, get a discount on the phone, and you have to pay $X a month for (12|24|48) months. That's how they get their money, and you've signed it, so even if you then turn to another provider for service, you're still paying. So why bother locking the phone to your network?
Now pre-paid phones are locked here, because otherwise you'd be getting your phone for virtually nothing. But they'll unlock it for a fee, and free after 6 months or so.
Why are contract phones locked? They're not here (in.au). Who gives a shit if you're also paying verizon for your actual service, if you've signed a contract to pay cingular every month for a year?
As well you should be. Unfortunately here in.au it's nigh on impossible to get. I've only managed to find one carton in many years of searching. Even at bottelos that carry other Unibroue beers like La fin du monde (sp?) and such.
Agreed 100%. I like vegemite. I really do. But it belongs on toast, not in a glass. I know a bunch of idiots who'll drink Heineken like it's the best thing since sliced bread but wouldn't touch a VB or a XXXX if they were dying of thirst. Like those that don't realise a 3 series is just a Commodore from Germany (same with the Skyline/Japan). Frankly, I adore Maudite and Kirin Ichiban, but XXXX gets the litres (and dollars) of my vote for everyday drinking.
If you're seeing things take on a life of their own, switch dealers. you're on shrooms not LSD. LSD is not an hallucinagen, it gives you synysthaesia, and messes about with your visual cortex (things will wobble, seem to move around, change colours with sounds and smells) but if you're seeing something that's not there at all, you've been gypped.
Obviously it's different in the states, but here in.au, the only people to call their bricks "Legos" tend to be uneducated titrats from the burbs whos parents are only 15 years older than they are, and think every house needs a Kingswood out the front with grass growing out of the bonnet.
Perhaps you should. There's a difference between "Depression" meaning "sadness, dent, or low pressure zone" and "Clinical Depression (tm)" Meaning "My life didn't turn out the way I thought it would, please drug me"

You're definitely in the minority there. In nearly every "best game of all time" list OoT comes out #1, I'd say it's the pinnacle of the Zelda franchise. As for the Zelda franchise I'd rate Link's Awakening and The non-sailing parts of windwaker for the #2 spot. The cell shading kinda bothered me at first, but but once you're adjusted to that graphical style, you notice just how well it was done.

Then again, the fact it stills displays on my 2006 browser is a tribute to the longevity of the Web, I guess
Actually, I'd say the that the fact itself is notable is a tribute to the transitory nature of the Web. Nobody's surprised when they can read a 250 year old text.
Also attributed to Ford: "Exercise is bunk. If you are healthy, you don't need it: if you are sick you should not take it."
Fair enough too, back in his day. Before he invented the modern production line, people actually had to work for a living, and we weren't all morbidly obese.
Yes, unless you're running a "crowd for hire" business. I don't know about you, but I'm employed to do stuff, not to be in the building. If enough stuff gets done, who gives a fuck where I am? If stuff doesn't get done, then get rid of me. What a novel idea.
Not only that, but our GST (like the UK VAT) only applies to transactions where the purchaser is a tax resident in Australia. Everybody on WOW / SL could simply say "I'm in California" and they're not eligible to pay our GST. This whole thing is unenforceable and well, stupid.
America not free enough? Move to France! That way you can be free! So long as you don't want any freedom of speech. And you're happy to move again in 30 years when the majority population instigates sharia law and your sister's no longer allowed outside with her face showing.

The term you need to read up on is "emergent behaviour" my friend.

That's what every actual test finds. That's why I ran out and got a G4 when I realised that CS3 was 12 months away last year :)

Nevertheless, LSD cannot induce hallucinations. Either you're not taking LSD, or you don't know the meaning of the word.

Can you tell me about the third party nokia file manager? I'm definitely interested in getting my hands on it.
Suck shit, that's why we're programmers and not IT :)

Linden labs have released Images of the suspected mastermind. If sighted, do not approach the suspect, and inform police!
What do you think this is? Digg?

But if they're comparing it to the peak numbers of the PS2, it's still using around 8 times as much power. Just neither is using as much as they say.

Well yeah, as an Aussie I always have a chuckle at those southpaws who seem to feel ripped off by the LHD setup they have in the US.
You're one of those guys who whinges about having to change gears with your right hand, aren't you?
