    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 …

    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)

    I have a skylake xeon from january 2016, and I think they had been around for a few months then?

    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 dr…

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

    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…

    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…

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