    I am currently paying (according to current exchange rates) USD$54 a month for a 1.5Mbit service with a 20GB download limit, then it's capped to 64k. I HATE YOU. :(

    I like the blue lights. They're all... Future-y.

  5. Re:Hire a housekeeper on Open Source Robot for Household Tasks · · Score: 1

    Aye, I remember back in the day I had a housekeeper who would practice my mother's signature, and eventually attempted (and failed) to steal about $500 or so by forging a cheque.

    The robot probably won't try stuff like that...

  8. Re:Memory Usage / No Script on Serious Vulnerability In Firefox 2.0.0.12 · · Score: 1

    I ran it on windows XP, and ubuntu when I was still using it (went back to windows because I started gaming again). I had no leaks on either OS.

    I usually have at least four tabs open, often ten or more.

    I tend to leave my browser open for days or weeks at a time, only closing it when I have to rarely restart my computer. :\

    I remember, back in the 1.5 days, I had memory leaks. I'd have firefox using 400mb+ of memory. Come 2.0 though, the problem was fixed for me, and I haven't seen it rise over 100mb on my two computers since.

  10. Re:Looks fine to me on Edible Antifreeze For Smoother Ice Cream · · Score: 1

    I don't argue with results. I had no doubt in my mind that the treatment would not work, yet I haven't had a migraine - or any other symptoms - in years.

  11. Re:Looks fine to me on Edible Antifreeze For Smoother Ice Cream · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I was allergic to wheat, soy, rye, sulphides, nitrates, and probably a bunch of stuff I can't remember. Oh, right, cockroaches. Eating any of these things would result in migraines so painful that I'd throw up from the pain, and would go blind during the intitial stages of the migraine. I would have these migraines up to three times a week, and they could sometimes last days. I wasn't actually aware that I had allergies.

    After a blood test, I went on a desensitisation program, wherein I didn't eat any of the above (very hard, seeing as sulphides+nitrates include everything with flavour. I basically lived on rice...) for about a year, while taking drops under my tongue. I'd go in for blood tests every three months or so, I think, and could slowly start eating these things again.

    Now, I can eat what I want. The process was expensive, but I think well worth it. For a year of bland food, I got my life back.

    The idea that you can dictate to me how much your product is worth to me is the dictionary definition of condescending, and it is insulting.
    Gee, you must be a real hit at your local shops.

    Most people who live on their own with a median income have far better purposes for their money, especially when it comes to buying $50 games. You can buy the same stuff you already have with a little bit of new stuff for $50? Or all new games?
    You poor dear. Here in Australia we pay USD$86 and up for the same crap.
