I'm an NTL subscriber, and up until recently was using VPN to work from home to the main office 200 miles away. If I hadn't been made redundant, this would have been a major inconvenience*.
As for the 1GB bandwidth limit, I seriously doubt it will affect either me or anyone else on the home network.
* Obviously, redundancy is a pretty big inconvenience...:(
I believe the use of the word "Tokyo" is ambiguous.
The capital city of a country is often used in media to refer to the goverment, e.g. Washington made a decision, blah blah, or Brussels voted for this or that, etc.
I think more information is needed, but all I can find it the same AP announcement.
Obviously, cooking a decent dinner takes a lot more time and effort, but isn't that an important part of romance? There are plenty of recipes available over the Internet, and you still have plenty of time to get the ingredients, so you have no excuse! If you live with your SO, get the afternoon off and start preparing and cooking then, so it's ready for just after she gets in.
Myself, I shall be spending SVD with friends, as my girlfriend will be on the other side of the world. Bit of a drag really.
But then again, if he didn't receive all that spam in the first place, there would be no need to filter the messages, and every e-mail he received would be worthy of reading.
Slashdot Mirror
Or rather, smith.name. Doh.
There is no error checking on the form either. If you leave out a "firstname", and enter "smith" in "lastname" you get offered the following:
Your own, impressive .name addresses
@john.name; and
www..john.name
may be available right now.
Fuckwits.
That's because "john" isn't a very common surname... :P
From what I remember, .name was supposed to be a method of grouping lots of people with the same surname, so the correct format would be:
www.firstname.surname.name
Personally, I think it sucks because it's too restrictive. For example, how many John Smiths are there reading Slashdot?
Why is the parent Funny? It's Insightful, if anything.
Now, you *know* that the UK government will only switch to Linux when GWB says it's the right thing to do... :(
It's a shame you and I aren't on the voting panel. That would be at least two votes. Absolutely fantastic topic.
How about...
Using a one million bit key and claiming it's uncrackable on Slashdot?
.NET is language-independent, not platform-independent.
Three suggestions:
NOTE: I am not a SysAdmin, but these options are from a layman's POV.
I guess I'll take the CowboyNeal option on that please.
"Nice image"
Eh? Nice? But there are Nottingham Forrest supporters there. How can that be nice? :-P
"...their newsspool, which is in any event so slow as to be unusable..."
Tell me about it. All I read is c.o.linux and c.l.php and I keep on getting timeouts - it's a complete PITA...

Well, he does link to a monastery (I think). I don't and I'm not a priest, so, er he MUST be!
NOTE: my German is also scheiße.

At last! Something to paint my monolith.
Why don't you cook the meal yourself?

Gotta cut out that "skip the first paragraph" habit.. :(
