Sounds like what I went through this week to get a package from DHL when my employer insisted on sending it to me at home rather than at the office. I guess they thought they were trying to be helpful... *sigh*
Thanks for the possible solution to my pet dilemma, but who would I get to take care of them when I'm overseas? No different from having a cat, in that regard.
Hi, kids! It's time once again for that old Slashdot favourite, Meme #537, "[citation needed]".
A casual Google search for "crime rate new york city vs london" yields indicators that NYC has about 4 times the rate of homicides and other violent crime than London, as of last year.
The TL;DR version: "I think you're making stuff up."
Where I work, you don't do anything with company-owned data unless it's on the corporate VPN.
It's one of the world's 5 largest software companies, does billions in business in the PRC annually, and it's not Microsoft or Apple.
I do not think when I visit China next month that I will find the corporate VPN blocked. It certainly isn't being blocked right now for my colleagues who live there.
The term "50-centers" is of wide enough currency in the English-language popular media that I don't think we need it explained to us, but thanks for playing.
And it's wumaodang if you want to get pedantic about it
Considering that you guys seem to spend about 75% of your time in internecine sparring with the Birchers and the Eagle Forum... Nah, thanks but no thanks.

Hm, when the DHL guy finally showed up yesterday, I invited him in for tea--in Swedish, even--but he declined.
UPS != USPS. UPS do have a Canadian presence.

So there is this trend about wanting to run 'foreign' OSs on computers that come w/ one already. ...
"Trend"? I've been doing this for at least 10 years. And I know lots of folks who've been doing it for much longer.
I'm pretty sure that it isn't, since Stallman is said never to surf the Net directly, but only to read Web pages via email.
Except that we all know that Bill only reads Ars Technica.
Time to wake up, Rip--2005 was the year of the Linux Desktop.
I've been ten years without Windows and lovin' every minute of it, baby.

Haha, if you're going to use a *nix system, you might as well go with one that you actually control.
"Your country -- Norway" inspires confidence, definitely.
(In case you don't get the joke, I live in Stockholm.)

XChat would like to have a talk with you.
Friends are just enemies who haven't betrayed you yet.
Yours is a world I'd prefer not to live in.
23 of them, motherfucker.
I dunno, mon... Why do idiots mod down Interesting/Insightful comments?
Having made many, many calls from Australia (and other places) to my mom in the US, she's probably in there, too.
Stop calling the Tea party idiots and racists.
And this will make them cease being idiots and racists... how, exactly?
Considering that you guys seem to spend about 75% of your time in internecine sparring with the Birchers and the Eagle Forum... Nah, thanks but no thanks.
As a resident of the EU, I'd like to recommend Australia.
I'll take up your challenge when you you learn how to spell "idealogy".
10€ says you pronounce it that way, too.
I always steal a car before informing people about their lord and savior Jebus Christ.
The Sub-Genii have been doing that for years.
I've never ever EVER even had a HINT of a desire to create a Twitter account... But perhaps it's time I considered it. #NixonNow
Still stuck on last year's meme? I hear that you can get help for that now.
