I would hazard a guess you could make 99.5% of transactions with EFTPOS in NZ - the exceptions might be a few vendors at farmers markets (most take EFTPOS), sausage sizzles/ad-hoc fundraisers, fruit honesty boxes on the side of the ro

You can move state around with `terraform state mv`. It's a bit tricky and has some gotchas but works (which applies to terraform as a whole really)

Unmetered gigabit internet is widely available over both fibre and cable. It's not particularly cheap (equiv of $80 USD+tax) but it's there.

Like the other reply says, not necessary unless you use deduplication. Mine has 60TB/16GB with no issues; I reckon it would be fine with half that.

Works for taxis too. An acquaintance of mine has regularly (once or twice a week) had to travel from his home to the airport, about a $100 fare each way. He's used the same taxi driver for about 10 years - knowing that either this driv

No, it worked - you were just paused along with it. (It times out automatically if there is no user input.)

"Normally I'd have copied/moved the files at block-level (eg. using dd or pvmove), but suspecting bad blocks, I went for a file-level copy because then I'd know which files contained the bad blocks."

I believe this tip originated from writers. By leaving your thoughts incomplete, but with an end in mind, you can begin writing the next day and get into the flow immediately.

I get 10-12mbit pretty consistently on unmetered ADSL2, and did at the last two places I lived as well. The couple of people I know with VDSL get 30-40mbit. A couple of others with UFB get the full 100mbit. Perhaps you're just really u

Can't you do this already? Maybe you just need to update your dropbox client.

Mobile phones absolutely do interfere with aeroplane systems. You know how your radio goes dit dit-dit dit when you change cell towers or receive a message? Happens with aircraft radios too. Extremely annoying when your passenger ignores yo

I would say you're right for most cases. But not for gamers or "power users": * Game developers constantly up the ante. Try playing Battlefield 3 at 2560x1440 on Ultra on your 2008 PC and see how you go, if it even starts at all. * Virtuali

That seems really odd. You might consider opening a debit card at a better bank? My bank charges 2.5% with a minimum charge of 1 cent.

Which version of OAuth 2? It's not standardized, new drafts are issued regularly, many of them backwards-incompatible.

Browse around iTunes until you find a track that doesn't quite fit horizontally. Click the "zoom" button, to make the window big enough. Oh wait, it doesn't. If by "developers" you mean "Apple" then yes. I never use the "zoom" button becaus

The NZ government froze $11m in NZ bank accounts. The US can't touch that without the NZ Govt sending it abroad, as far as I know.

Yes, NZ govt. Some of it has been returned to cover living expenses. Although I understand he also had/has some money in Hong Kong.

I'm not sure on the backend, but they don't seem to on the frontend - CBA and ASB's web interfaces are very very different, at least.

Great! Do you plan an having a hosted payment page ala DPS or PayPal though? I'd much prefer never seeing my customers credit card number at all. Also please let me know if you're planning on adding support for NZ too, the situation for acc
