Is that supposed to be hard to do? Here is me doing it...

Well, it was the first MVC framework. Back in 2000, we were glad we weren't doing plain JSP/Servlet.

Later, we started using newer frameworks. Pretty soon, we noticed we were working several times faster than in Struts.

Yes, he did. About 10 years ago, IIRC. It was a stupid idea back then, and it still is now (even more so).

Back then, spam was mostly sent from hit-and-run accounts and open email relays. (So the spammers would be difficult to track down.)

Nowadays, they use botnets. Infected users would get charged for the spam flow. Some of them might not even notice the extra costs on their ISP bill.

I've seen that once. The progress bar went up halfway, zipped back to the start and then went up again (this time to the end). There was another guy watching along with me. We both said "What the F--- did just happen?" at the same time.

We were writing a DVD image. I had to make several other images, but this never happened again.

My stepdaughter would probably break that limit as well. (She has a prepaid plan with unlimited text messages.)

Most of my text conversations are with her (a few times a week). She won't pick up her phone most of the time (also an age thing), but she will read text messages (and reply to them most of the time).

No - cut, along with copy & paste will come in version 2.

It took me just a few minutes to set it up on OSX using MacFUSE. Was very simple. I agree it was a bit more complicated on Linux, but if it's packaged correctly and someone makes a nice configuration tool, then it should be simple there too.

I think they missed out the word "Internet"

Internet on cell phones became wildly popular in 2001-2003

I'm pretty sure that by 2001 I was on my 4th cell phone and it had internet. Shitty slow WAP internet, but internet nonetheless.

AFAIK, phone switches already do that. I'm pretty sure I can dial 100 (emergency number for landlines over here) on my cell phone and ask to send an ambulance over. I think the old emergency number (900 - removed about 20 years ago) still works.

I wouldn't surprise me if 911 also works.

(Not tested - I prefer not to pay a fine for abusing those numbers.)

The RIM of the toilet bowl.

As a 32 year old, I was never taught what lbs are in relation to kilograms or metric tonnes. According to Google, it's about 36 metric tonnes, for anyone who cares.

The iPhone is a very expensive phone

Off-contract, the iPhone 4 is the same price as the Galaxy SII, and the iPhone 4S is not a lot more than the SIII. Granted the iPhone 5 is about GBP 150 more though, but until that was released they were about the same price as Samsung's competition.

Example

Close: Belgian.

Mine is a Brompton. It fits between or under the seats of the train. AFAIK, the only one that does.

75% train, 25% (folding) bike, total about 1 hour. So I selected public transport.

Biking time is mostly from home to the station. Alternatively, I could take the bus to the station, or my car. Bot take twice as long to get there.

I prefer trains over car rides: it gives me time to relax or work a bit on a personal project. The bike trip is about the only workout I get during the day.
