If I am interpreting your question right. The best reason to use div is so you can separate the style from the content of a webpage. In the case of multiple web pages this allows for easy management as you only have to change one entry to affect the style in all pages referencing that css code.
This, in my opinion, would lessen job security for web developers as it makes for ease of creation and maintainence. Semantically, it is easier to have comments.
Got a surprise when I looked at your site. This is an excerpt from an email I sent today. "This, I feel, can be solved very easily. On the old telephone system you could (at least on Great Barrier Is.) call the operator and get her/him to patch you through to the entire Island. This could be implemented in the New Zealand telecommunications system with an option to broadcast to all people in a particular area with the emergency and the backup plan. In the case of a Tsunami alert, I would imagine it would work somewhat like this;"

Good god, its like reading/. Do you ever get the feeling that the U.S. government has really f**ked something up, like selling a nuke to Al-Qa'ida or something, and all this is is them trying to cover their ass's. It would explain a lot.
This is true. I just installed openSUSE 10.1. Not only could you not play and, mpeg, avi, etc....but they defaulted to a new package manager which wouldn't install anything. I reinstalled and the package manager magically worked but wouldn't install xinelib1, and so on, due to dependencies. I swapped back to yast. After a couple of hours I had it all working (except libdvdcss) but now the new package manager says I have updates and then won't install them because there are no sources, or that the source was not found on the medium.
This was complicated by choosing Gnome on install so there was a sort of double learning curve going on. I must say I am very impressed with Gnome. It feels a lot more integrated than Kde.
I think that Linux desktops have a "lets do it all" problem. As a beginning user I want a nice integrated desktop. I don't mind paying a small amount for access to an update server that gives me the proprietry packages. Preferably, when installing I would like one desktop choice with easy customisation (eg; Would you like your desktop to look like Gnome, Kde, OsX, XP. This preference can be changed by you at any time.) Choose the programs for media the same way and forget about all this default Gnome/Kde stuff. Just have the best programs. And have a standard for swapping in between them. Swapping from Kmail to Evolution to Thunderbird should be as simple as starting them up, being asked whether you want the same settings as the last one and accessing the same mail folder (so you you can swap back and forth easily with all your old mail there).
I understand that openSUSE is a testing distribution, I understand that I can change most of, if not all, of these things. I don't understand why they don't simplify things, even to the point of not installing any apps at all and when you click on a file it could give you a choice of application to install to open it.
Ahhh, who cares, its still twenty times better than XP was for me. I suppose I could always make my own distribution:).
Blenheim has around 26,000 people. 1,000,000 litres isn't bad for that population. If you take it as a constant and appy it to Auckland you get ((1,000,000/26,000)1,000,000) roughly 38,461,539 litres.
Just add Gnome in your installation sources. That way you get the updates as they come along.....Actually, having just looked at http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/suse/Suse/i386/supplem entary/GNOME/ it looks like they only have the updates for 10.0 at the moment so you might have to wait for a couple of days for the update_for_10.1 folder to come up. Have a look around though.
Novell will be using Gnome as the default on SLES and Novell Linux Desktop but the KDE libraries will be be supplied on both as well. You choose which desktop to use on OpenSUSE.
I've never figured out where that rumour got started. They are concerntrating on Gnome for the corporate version as default but the opensuse release's give you a choice of desktop to use. I've been using opensuse 10.0 since just after its release and it's "rock solid" with kde. You can also point your yast installation sources towards the additional updates for kde and get the latest and greatest version.
I think the U.S. might be a little more careful with this one. On the one hand they are saying he was smart enough to break into their computer systems and on the other hand saying that what he found there doesn't exist?
I must admit that I to found it strange that he didn't take a screenshot and that he was caught after two years just as he found the information he was looking for. I also found it strange that the day after I heard about this on "Click", there was a news release of, "UFO study finds no sign of aliens".
I don't know, I've never tried working here on a holiday visa.:) That being said, have a look at www.seek.co.nz. Telecoms the largest company (naming in N.Z. is fairly to the point.) in tech. You might want to try mailing as many tourist firms as you can though to see if any of them want cheap tech work done (eg; get accommodation included, food, etc) as a couple of small jobs would leave you more mobile and having them at hotels/tourist firms would put you in the better places scenery wise. Also, if you get work in Queenstown, try and get accommodation included as its really expensive there. We have just finished grape picking anyway so you are safe from that but the good thing about those jobs (grape/apple/cherry) is its a great way to meet people. Remember, having fun is the main idea.
Welcome to New Zealand. Be advised that while the health care system sounds good, you will be on a waiting list. If you are critical, you should be OK. Although, I doubt they will let you in with an illness. If you wish to move elderly parents here as well then you will probably run into trouble. And, (this sounds horrible but as far as I have experienced its true) if you are not Maori, you will be quietly shafted. I still thinks its one of the better places in the world though, and much of the above may be an obligatory (hopefully, short term) backlash from the reverse being true.
I've heard some good arguments for looking at first contact staff. If you can afford to go to the doctor when you aren't seriously ill, then you probably won't end up in hospital.
Yes, Greenpeace is, "a radical political organisation with little scientific credibility". However, none of the scientific organisations pointed out what bottom trawling was doing to seamounts of the coast of New Zealand, or stood against the French bombing of Mururoa Atoll, the killing of whales under a "scientific" banner by the Japanese, nuclear waste shipments passing New Zealand, etc... Greenpeace have become a radical organisation to oppose the wholesale destruction of the planet for money. The reason they are not scientifically credible is because none of the scientific organsations want to put their funding on the line (that is a very broad view and may be wrong) to back them up. They will however have far more credibility when they don't have to get pictures of the oceans floor from scientific organisations and can publish their own. Because those scientific organisations used those same pictures to "OK" bottom trawling whereas Greenpeace looked at them and found a bunch of trawl gouges where there was coral forest.
We all know the fish are disappearing rapidly. Its to late to do something after the fact. We need pictures of undersea habitat to show the complete blotch we are making of the oceans to the general public. We need to know whats there before the nets. The oceans are the most important habitat on Earth. If we kill them, we kill us.
(Yes, I am a Greenpeace member. No, I don't approve of their stance on modern reactors. Yes, the "none of the scientific organisations" comment is broad, I just can't think of any offhand.)
On the N.Z. phone system, you could minus each digit of the number to be called from ten and then tap the hanger that many times (eg; 837 = 2 taps + 7 taps + 3 taps) to call the number. Was very handy after school.
It was on the news in New Zealand. No mention though of "biting, harsh criticism". Just that it was funny and was a yearly (?) event with an invited audience.

Poor admin. By the look of the page, he's about to get quite a few emails.

Its even cooler if you miss your stop, because you were watching a movie.

Wow, thats a great idea. Then, all the ships they are chasing could just leave them behind.
Actually, all of the Greenpeace ships I have seen are both wind and diesel powered.

If you really want to complain. Ask, "Where on the Earths surface?".
Its Australia man. Of course they make wreaths out of reefer.
I dunno man. I'm more worried about what type of love it's offering.
