I currently work for a Canadian shipping company that handles UPS, Purolator, DHL and a bit of FedEx air freight across the country and I can tell you at 4 AM outside in the cold and rain after the 4000th 50lb supposedly fragile package it's REALLY hard to give a flying(get it? 'cause it's air freight) fuck about your shipment. And of course as they say in the article, express shipping (read: air freight) is expensive, to keep a reasonable profit margin sacrifices have to be made and so that although 1 in 1000 might get damaged the other 999 make it to their destination on time and in one piece.
In other words don't cry 'wolf' with the fragile stickers.
Roadrunner will have more success now that his target is wearing a government-issued GPS tracking collar. Those ACME homing missiles will be much more effective.

There are people that aren't Moslem that don't like bacon. Let's substitute it for something you don't like. Offal? let's have kidneys, or liver, or brains...
By the way, you probably don't know that the Collins English is published by HarperCollins, and therefore owned by News Corp. I guess you watch Fox News?
I don't get this. Software gets fixed by releasing new versions. Like 2.3. Which will likely be pushed automatically. Unless you bought one that has been infected by all the cruft that carriers put on them, in which case you're stuck with the Windows Mobile model of updating - buy a new phone with the latest OS on it.
You're right, but wait, so is he, in a way. I'd in no way want to disable a swap file for performance, but, if FF thinks it can use that much of total available memory for a given computer, then something is wrong. (IIRC, FF lets you tweak all that, but I gave up using it in favour of Chrome)
I doubt that the carriers (Telstra) are going to be really patient with alarm manufacturers crying about not being able to run alarms off the network (yeah, I know, NBN != Telstra) anymore. Alarm makers are going to have to suck it up, and work out a new design (I've seen some terrible alarm system design, at both the customer and base ends)

See straw man! See straw man run! Run, straw man, run!
Or Swe... oh, wait.
Culture is a harder thing to measure but I don't think you can discount them in this area either.
I don't think that anyone can discount China's contributions to culture and technology, but what have they done for us lately?

That must look good on your resume. Urine unpacker.
Sorry, just taking the piss.

Wouldn't it be nice to tell the public BEFORE you let the coyotes run wild?
Easier to get forgiveness than permission.
Oh, and by the way, we had to release some tigers to deal with the bugroeoning coyote population....
That's good, we could do with more predators.
... ArseSpreadsheet...
Does that work out to a goatse joke somehow?
Doesn't everything?
Few things are as unnerving as seeing a programmer walk by with a screwdriver in hand... quietly muttering...
Beware! I have a CCS permit
Seagate use TRIM?
So if you're a spy in Kuwait, get a 'front' job as a journalist.
Ah yes, geocities. pronounced to rhyme with atrocities.
Their clients reside all over the world, not just the USA. Expanded globally? Crap. Ever since they were a search engine, they've been global.

So it should be pronounced with an Aussie accent?

Yes. Look at your English as an example, with its thousands of keywords. Reduce your vocabulary and you'll have fewer defects in what you produce.
I'm uncertain whether you just made an ironic reference to Minitrue, or believe the drivel you just posted.
Minitrue being a lower-level version of english, I'd suspect it's like comparing assembly language with c++.
Watching the program run is fun. Kind of like a CAT scan video of a brain.

Can I suggest to Ryanair that they eliminate carrying passengers as well?
