In short, anything that you're sufficiently attached to, that can give you enough happiness, can cause you as much pain when taken away. The solution therefore, is to follow a middle path practising detachment from all wordly desires, so as to walk along the middle path - neither be swayed emotionally toward too much towards happiness, nor being overly susceptible to sadness.
The four noble truths:
1. Life means suffering.
2. The origin of suffering is attachment.
3. The cessation of suffering is attainable.
4. The path to the cessation of suffering (aka the eightfold way).
This, I think, makes Be's service significantly better.
There's also a lot of local content (eg ABC) that doesn't count to the cap. Internode have a lot of nice things (including a wide range of Linux and BSD distros) on their mirror site. Further, Internode provision a lot of backhaul capacity, and their own direct links to the US via Southern Cross cable. The two good effects of having the cap: they are able to maintain better backhaul capacity, and this stays freer due to people not downloading as much. 15GB a month is a lot of traffic for me, anyway. Also, I need the speed for running X11 over ssh tunnels from Linux to OS X boxes.
Can't speak of Australia, but in Sweden it's "Grogg", with two g's. It obviously comes from "Grog", but has changed spelling along with meaning, making it a different word.
Here in Australia it's just grog, mate. Anyone know the etymology? I would have thought the British/US English version derived from the "Grogg" and changed meaning, not the other way around. Then presumably in Australia, since rum was pretty much synonomous with alcohol (in fact at one point it was used as currency) it changed back again.
It still doesn't support the OS X way of doing web proxy changes, by reading the network settings. Seriously, if Microsoft can do it, why can't the Mozilla people? So the disk image has a fancy icon, but the software is still missing useful (to me, anyway, who shuffles from uni campus to uni campus, all with different proxy settings) functionality.
Most of the world's population can't digest lactose (milk sugar) after the age of about 4. The ability to digest lactose appears to have evolved along with dairy farming. Those parts of the world which did not practice dairy farming remain lactose intolerant.
There are similar patterns with respect to alcohol metabolism, based on whether populations boiled water or used diluted alcohol in order to kill bacteria. This also occurs for other drugs, such as warfarin (a common anticoagulant drug).
This used to be true, and as you point out this did create a fallacy that all Mac apps are magically faster because the chip has AltiVec. However this changed with the latest version of XCode and gcc 4.0, see here. This also applies to gcc4.0 on x86 with SSEn.
A camping recipe from Patty. This recipe can be made in quantity for as many as you want to serve in the campground.
INGREDIENTS:
3 - 4 apples
shelled walnuts
butter or maple syrup
PREPARATION:
Cut apples into slices and take out core. Place apples on aluminum foil. Add walnuts and butter or maple syrup. Fold foil leaving an opening for ventilation. Place on campfire and cook at least 45 minutes, or until apples are soft, not mushy.

The same people who want to listen to the same old elevator jokes every time a space elevator gets mentioned on /.?
Wow. Icecream and Love. What else would anyone want in life?
H=(L+5)/2 where L is the size of the feet (in cm) and H is, well, you know what they say about the size of a man's feet.

As stated in the wiki article, grog is a term used to mean any sort of alcoholic beverage in Australia and Sweden.
Oh c'mon You're making the jokes too easy for us!

Are there any curious Slashdot readers with the usual great insight into how to calculate a trip to Mars?
Come on, this ain't rocket science, people. Oh, wait...
Preparation time is how long it takes you to get all the ingredients preared for cooking. So the total time is 15+45=60 not 15-45=-30.

Isn't hacking more about the creation of something than the destruction of something?
