OK like many other people here I have a spare gmail invite. But here in
New Zealand when you enter a game of chance you must by law answer a
question of skill. Now normally these are pathetically simple, but here
is one that has bugged me today:
What is it called when you truncate URLs like this: "../fakepage.html
"? and Why does this work fine in every browser I have tested, but link checking programs
bork at it?
you wouldn't per chance like to send me a gmail invite would you?
this is my slashdot email account, the other was my personal ISP. Thanks to the wonders of alias they all end up at the same place. On a completely unrelated note I have never been spammed at the slashdot address, the fudging must work.
I started reading these comments carefully while I was waiting for my Karma to ship (I live in New Zealand).
The conclusion that I draw is that if your hard drive / wheel / stick is going to fail, it will probably do so in the first couple of weeks. this would be during the "burn-in phase" when you transfer 13 GB, listening to it constantly (note: whilst on busy road biking is not a good idea), charge and discharge ect...
Mine has been going strong since Jan 22 (cross fingers / touch wood).
This
poll tells part of the story, but has a rediculously small sample size (74).
Luckily I was born here. I would hate to apply, I see the lines at the
immigration office winding all the way out the door and onto the street
every morning, hours before it even opens.
Funnily enough, Microsoft disagree and if you set the language in Office to English (Australian) or English (New Zealand) it will give you American spelling. You're forced to go for UK English...
Sorry no. Works just fine here with English (New Zealand) setting. Make sure you have set it in two places: Tools -> Language -> Set Language. AND ALSO in Tools -> Options -> Spelling and Grammar (Then Click on the Dictionaries button.)
Took me a while to figure this one out, as a bonus it will fix the problem of not being able to add words to the custom.dic
Non-standard (American) Spelling

Flavor vs. Flavour

· Score: 2, Interesting
The issue of American spelling of various words, has been of great interest to me this year, as I simultaneously start to write my PhD thesis and also learn the German language.
I live in New Zealand, yes one of those countries colonised by the great British empire. Here of course we write with the British spelling (ie. English spelling used by the rest of the world). However this is under threat from the ever prevalent American spelling, mostly due to the internet, and things like Microsoft Word and e-mail spell checkers defaulting to the US spelling (Yes I know how to change it but very many people do not - Actually I use LaTeX so this is a moot point for me). Teachers used to mark this alternative spelling quite harshly, but now I feel they are giving up.
This raised a few issues, for me mostly when I find information on the internet I am conscious to try with both spellings. I got caught out in Bugzilla with this.
Interestingly the changes the US have made to the language not only include spelling changes, But also grammatical. An example is "to dream" the American is: "dreamed" whilst the British is: "dreamt". These grammatical differences are seen in all American movies and TV shows shown around the world.
I am not American bashing in any way, but these issues are non-trivial.
What really bugs me about composer is that when you view the HTML source it is in mono-colour text. How hard can it be to use the same scheme as the "view page source" window when you are examining a webpage.
The different colours make identifing the code much easier

Anyone working on Linux for the Karma?
I have been waiting for months now for the new firmware to fix up the "disappearing tracks" bug.
The policy has toughen in recent years, especially if you are a poor English speaker. You need a certain number of points.
Excellent info can be found at http://www.immigration.govt.nz/.
Probably have a good chance with the skilled migrant category.

And the Flash is a FAKE! look carefully and you can see the text appear before the device gos over it.
The TNT2 is fine for the workstation, but when I changed to the Geforce MX 420, I noticed a significant improvement in text quality.
This really makes a difference for wordprocessing / coding ect...
