I agree with always being honest, but disagree with the need to be blunt.
I have learned over the years that it is better to work with people than against them.
All these years I thought I was white, yet I stopped reading Tom Clancy in my teens, I don't listen to Van Halen, and have never payed a game of golf in my life. (I assume that mini-golf doesn't count)
I need to sit down, my entire world-view of myself just came crashing down!
I spent a month in NZ at a friends house a year ago, and the internet connections where like we had in Finland 10 years ago... Or even worse. They had an ADSL connection limited to 1Mb/s down (and very slow up) with a 2GB monthly limit.
*snip*
I guess if this was somewhere far in the countryside I could understand it, but it was in one of the better areas of Auckland!
That seems very odd. I lived in Ashburton about 2 years ago- small town NZ, population around 10,000. I had a cap of 20GB a month and at least 6Mb/s down.
I don't disagree, our internet could be a helluva lot better, but the internet plan your friend has is not as good as it gets.
I find that the great thing about communication is that the more you do it the less often you will fight. Fights are normally just misunderstandings, caused by a lack of communication.
You will fight of course, any couple who tells you they don't is either a lier or in trouble.
I can imagine it now.
You: "Oh, shit, there go the neighbours!"
iPhone Clippy (aloud): "I see you are trying to avoid your neighbours. Would you like me to. . . "
You: "Shut up shutup SHUTUP!"
Slashdot Mirror
Thankfully I live in the South Island!
Wait...
How many times have we seen this story for all kinds of products on Slashdot?
Why would these numbers worry Apple? Shipping a product does not mean money in the bank, selling it does.
Just out of curiosity, how many iOS upgrades have you seen vs Android?

It's a different world out there now. It's not just hackers that use computers anymore, mostly it's people who wouldn't know a CPU from a Hard Drive.

That the truth hurts.

shows what it looks like to come on the wall of dust...
Good god. Is the video safe for work?
Who was the smart arse that tagged this 'australia'?
Don't bother with the 'article'. It has no insights into any of the logos and is merely idle speculation on the part of the author for the most part.
You have been warned. . .
Making a marriage work requires three things:
Communication, communication and communication.
I completely agree.

You mean they could have spent far less money by using a metal coat hanger instead?
Gross. I am never eating breakfast at your place.
Dammit. I always miss out on the fun.
:(

That's easy to fix, but I can't be bothered.
Actually, Sir, it's pronounced Beyonk
Quark, to put it bluntly, sucks.
There. Fixed that for ya.
It's when they start to build the suicide booths that I will start to worry!
