Here in Switzerland, mail only enters your mailbox if it has your name written on it. If there is any other name, or even only your first name, they will not put it in your mailbox, or only if it is clear that it is meant for you. If your apartment building has several people with the same first name, it is impossible to tell in which mailbox they have to put an envelope with that exact first name. This is because everybody in the apartment building has the same house number, which I personally find rather ridiculous...

... if you live in the Netherlands.

So, don't buy it now. Don't buy anything you don't really need now. Do this for 6 months. Save all the money that is left. From then on, continue to live as you do now. And suddenly you realize that you don't need your credit card with huge interest rates anymore! And you have suddenly all this interest that you would normally pay to the credit card company all for yourself!! Indeed, why pay $75 so that you have to pay small cash now, but lots more later.

Yes, borrowing for a wedding and having to pay it off for the next 10 years sounds indeed incredibly stupid to me!

Funny, I'm already surviving for more than 30 years with the idea of saving money before you spend it. The only reason I use a credit card is because sometimes it's impossible to pay something another way.

Just stop with all this credit card madness. Save money before you spend it. Don't let the bank own you and your stuff. I thought in the USA everything is about freedom, yet why is everyone a slave of the credit card companies???

Well, then they should simply make it impossible to pay without a PIN. Actually it should've been like that from the start and there wouldn't have been so much problems with stolen credit card numbers.

In Europe it is often already required to enter a PIN when paying something with a credit card. I am wondering why they didn't introduce it in the USA yet...

Interesting, after all these years of trying to get Office onto all computers on the world, they suddenly force someone (Motorola) to make handsets with WordPerfect 7 on it! Where did this change of plans come from??

I guess that is the way to create a success-story. Just have very low expectations and it will always exceed expectations. I don't know if NASA did it on purpose, but it has played out very well, these robots.

Although this news is of course potentially bad news, the lifetime of the Spirit robot exceeded all expectations. I think the original programme was more in the order of months than the years it has been successfully transmitting data now.

Everyone knew that this moment was going to come, so I bet the people working with the robot will be sad, but have planned something new in their lives. Next year for example, NASA is going to launch another Mars rover.

What is a tormented Facebook file??
