It's such an important thing for the country's infrastructure that I can't see how they can let that become an issue. If more is needed, the government should just pile money in - same way as that it would increase funding for any major system that is important for the country.
Aaah, I don't know if the "massive socialist US interstate system" makes money or not (not being American). However, when I re-read, I probably should have detected it anyway:)
And what's wrong, exactly, with realising that things that your country need to keep running (power generation and distribution, roads, rail, public transport, fire, police, hospitals) should simply be tax funded and subsidised, and if they lose money, so what?
it is expensive here in Japan. A ticket to Tokyo from Shizuoka city (where I live -- a distance of 180km) is about $60 if I recall correctly
You call a 110 mile journey for £45 expensive? Try traveling from Bristol to London (about the same distance) - you'll pay £70-80 for second class - Lord knows what it is for first class these days - well over £100.
I don't know why rail pricing can't be done logically: Say, £0.4 per mile, with a multiplier of say 1.3 for peak hours.
I tried to find the bouncer that crashed into someone's helmet at 90+, but couldn't.
And from what I know, a cricket ball is quite a bit harder than a baseball.
If your from the UK and smart your working in the USA, the City or military/science.
Whats left for an ISP is MS slop.
If you're from the UK and smart, you might know the difference between your and you're, and you might also use apostrophes correctly.
I'm not working in the USA, the City, or military/science though, so what would I know - I must be dumb as bricks.
Apparently, one of the criteria the UK nuke sub crews have to decide whether to launch should they lose contact is whether they can pick up Radio 4 Longwave*. John Humphreys on Today has never seemed to good to hear.

Well, if you send, and untick the "encrypt to self" option, you can only decrypt what people have sent you. They'll have to go to the recipients to get what you sent.
do you KNOW that you have licensing for every copy of SQL server, or CALs for windows, etc
It's quite strange working with Windows after ~8-10 years of exclusively Linux. You forget that there are these things called licences that you need, and that you can't download everything from the web.
It asked things in unexpected ways and the timezone map was atrocious.
Oh, you poor, poor thing. How awful for you - an "atrocious" timezone map? It sounds truly horrendous. Here, go and sit down and let me make you a nice of tea.
I remember suggesting this years ago, and the responses I got at the time were "but I/my mother/granddad/aging relative doesn't have a mobile phone", or "I don't want to have to carry around my mobile to use my online banking" - all very strange retorts. Glad to see a bank using its noddle.
You think that your ability to fuck people over solely for your sick amusement is far more important than a person's right to save the life of their loved one.
Incorrect logic. Had he known that you were trying to save the life of your loved one, and he'd acted the same, that would be correct.
He was just being thoughtless, not malicious/evil.

Aaah, found some more.
Lose a tooth, even when wearing a helmet
26 seconds in...
Or a cricket ball at 100+? Ouch.

I can break highly complex electronic stuff with a hammer. Howevermuch you supervised me, I wouldn't be able to fix it.

but otherwise you manager can fire you just because he or she feels like it
Not in most modern countries.
we could higher two new grads and an intern for the same amount. They'd be at least that productive right?
And nine women could have a baby in 1 month.
Setting up Linux was like using strong wooden poles to hold the tent, and using OpenBSD was like using steel poles.
Linux + GRSec + RBAC + PIE + SSP + etc etc = much much tougher.
Accept.
function first, flash second
Yep. Or in my case, function first, get Mathieu to lay on some CSS to tart it up.

Try working for a bank (100,000 to 200,000 people worldwide). I've never even seen a server at my current place.
In the UK, you can "self-certify" you are ill for 5 (7?) days without needing any doctor's note.
Dear Employer,
This is to confirm that I was ill during the week of $_exciting_sporting_event.
Yours, loyal and hardworking employee.
Seems a logical way of doing things, rather than tying up doctors with basic form-filling.
You spoke? In fact, I'll let you search.
Is that because they meet together at the darkside, round the back?

It might be funnier than you think.

You're are a sick little fucker and beneath contempt. I adamantly hope that you die soon and painfully you vile evil worm.
I suspect you two won't become friends.
