So the saying is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, in that order.

There are a lot of environmentally concious people who think it's ok, as long as something is recycled, but it's much better if it never existed in the first place, or you can reuse it as is.

Classic example is packaging, if you can reuse packaging as-is, it's much better than putting it in the recycling bin, but better still is if it never existed in the first place. If you're lucky enough to have a bulk food co-op in your area, they often accept clean jars and tubs to sell food in.

Another example, although more on how spending less money is better than spending more; the consumption of meat: one meat free day per week reduces your carbon footprint significantly more than eating local the entire time.

what about ps3 , some of the content i d/l is the size of a movie . i pay for psn content . does this mean they will ban me for being legal , i also d/l linux .. now will i be doomed for d/l a legal free product , i guess wifi hacking will be more wide spread , i am atm scanning for open connections ..

If water had a memory then of course it would also remember being surrounded by fish guts, or urine, or heavy metals, so my favourite explanation of homeopathy is where water's memory is only stored by shaking it ten times in various directions: left, right, up, then down.

So homeopathy is like a Nintendo Entertainment System, and you have to power-up by shaking.

the house shot was taken by my Dad on a work trip out there about a year ago.

i hear through the grapevine that the server cost ~$100k / year to run.
which incidentally is the same cost as that fugly "wellywood" sign the council wants to install over miramar.

Suspicious people were told today in the paper the only isp's who have signed on to the filter are watchdog and maxnet.

Interesting...a while back we got notice from Telstra they had upped our speed from 4 to 10mbps for free. Coincidently earlier on that day I discovered YouTube was running perfectly on my iPod for the first time...not long after that, a matter of days, my ability to view non-stop YouTube went down the tubes and has stayed that way. I hadn't wanted to think this might be what's happening but apparently it is...wonder if this new cable being talked of will help things along any!

You've got me beat. Woosh in Auck is only getting 895. average. I've tried telecom and it dribbles along as well so who is getting the good speeds?

What would it take/how much would it cost to keep it running? Is it as simple as paying for a VPS/server or does it require a sysadmin to maintain it to?

I highly doubt anything as drastic as a DDR1 to DDR2 change will even happen in the XO 1.5. What we're looking at is similar to what game console manufacturers do as time goes on. Minor changes and removals to deal with supply issues and problematic parts and to make it cheaper to manufacture

i agree with julie...parenting is a hotbed of arguments and people telling you or thinking you are a terrible parent and they can't believe you don't or do (insert one of many examples here) in regards to your child. my son is 16 months old and i'm still breastfeeding him. i work part-time and tried expressing when he was wee but he wasn't having a bottle and i was cool with that as i found expressing painful and that it messed with my milk supply hence i gave it up relatively quickly. the longest he is in daycare is 7 hours without milk and he survives! my boobs are certainly full and sore by the end of the day but he feeds as soon as i pick him up and that goes away very quickly. i have made a choice to let him self-wean when he is ready. i don't miss drinking (although shock horror i do have a very small amount once in a blue moon), i absolutely love the connection and feeling i get from nourishing my son and i know he loves it too. i am training to be a midwife at the moment and breastfeeding is one of my major interest areas. we have a paper called 'lactation and breastfeeding' but i'm unsure as yet if we learn about bottle feeding and how to do this. i hope so, i would be worried if we didn't as i would feel there would be something missing in my knowledge base. i will admit that i do not understand it where mothers choose not to breastfeed there baby at all, even that research-proven all important cholosterum. i guess it's kind of like having children in the first place, there are women out there that can't have children at all and so dearly want one and then there are women that irresponsibly have children when they can't cope with or afford or even seem to want to have children. and so in the case of breastfeeding, there are women that so dearly want to be able to but can't because of physical reasons. but as always, it is a women's choice as to what she does with her body and whilst i might not understand not wanting to breastfeed because of whatever the reason may be - inconvenience, work, mental/emotional, etc - i do respect her choice. i also agree that there is too much shaming and disrespect in the realm of parenting - (most) people do the best they can in the best way that they know how and with the resources that they have. it's a hard enough job raising a child as it is let alone having the way you do it judged.
