Would it help to know that they're husband and wife?
Actually yes, it makes a huge difference.

I haven't had the same experience you have, but wondering if maybe being a member of a relatively small (and seemingly shrinking) group is forcing these religious folk to be more up front about it?
Is there nowhere you can go and risk getting cooked and eaten any more?
Germany?
when the Hare Krishnas knock on my door, they bring samosas
Oh god yes. The krishnas made my last visit to the gathering an absolute delight with their wonderful pakora. ♥

Waiting for a US crew to get around to finally charging my card for an order - long since delivered - while watching our dollar edge ever lower, was painful. Thankfully was only a few hundred dollars, so not too painful, but still.
Like with oil, where the speculators seem to be responsible for far more price fluctuation than any "real" conditions are, I feel like the system just isn't working quite right.

Ha! "Have you had your boobs done?" - deadpan brilliant
I found it incredibly awkward and unnecessary.

accidentally visited pron site
Accidentally?
If I were looking for a good setup today I would be going for Google Chrome and Evolution for windows. I already use Evo. on my Linux box an am quit impressed, Outlook look out.
I don't use an email client for any of my personal/biz email, only for the day job. Been Gmail all the way for a couple of years now.
Such a relief not to run Outlook at home anymore. And just not even really having to think about it at all. It's just wherever I am.
And if you're addicted to a client, it works there too - I even have Gmail running in pine on one of my debian boxen.

No Chrome on the Mac for a while yet, unfortunately.
That strikes me as retarded. Given it's based on webkit, shouldn't it be about the easiest port ever?
Maybe it's something to do with the process per tab thing.
It'll be interesting to see how the two measure up -- although the first few benchmarking efforts seems to suggest that Safari 4 is faster than anything, ever.
Chrome will steal that. Then Opera will claim they had it all along too. Hippies.

Oh the tabs on top thing came from Chrome as well - and I find it really super good. They're the best tabs in any browser I've used - it's great being able to just drag a tab off into it's own window so easily, say if you've started a video and want to keep watching that on another monitor while reading some other thing, then you can drag it back into the first browser window just as easily.

He then pooped on his own aphorism by declaring that Javascript was invented by Sun Microsystems (it came out of Netscape early in the browser wars)
Crikey, confusing Javascript with Java is a really noob mistake.
but I wonder if it'll be so sweet on a Windows PC
If you want webkit in Windows you use Google Chrome, which is already known to be super sweet, and which seems to be the same place Apple stole the 'default to a bunch of thumbnails of your popular sites when you open a new tab' thing.
(So it'll probably turn out Chrome stole it from Opera. But who uses that besides a few complete weirdos?)
Chrome is really good, I'm torn between using Firefox with all of my beloved extensions, and Chrome which is just so blisteringly fast - and so completely out of the way, with its delightfully minimal UI.

Some important stuff came out of the weekend in Warkworth and you'll be seeing it and hearing about it as the week progresses.
Yeah, well we've heard that before though haven't we?

It was fun while it lasted, but TVNZ have cocked up the Media7 feed again. I'm getting 404s on two of the latest parts.
I was just going to say (after watching episode 2 yesterday) how great it seemed to be going.
