So all that effort chasing after women was a waste of time?
You have a lot to learn in life. These things are not mutually exclusive.

You didn't follow the instructions. Your tick extends past the bounds of the voting area. Vote is therefore void.

I read it after I wrote, thought about changing it, then decided not to because it would bait Lias :P

But yes, that Spark site requires flash, as it uses speedtest.net

Xsannz is the real junior. Letting said Junior play with anything that isn't a pacifier.

So what we've leaned here today is that the Flag Referendum is a quantum phenomenon, and we now have a dead cat.

At least Gareth Morgan will be happy.

Okay - I'll admit - that made me chuckle - but if you kill them, how are you going to sell them DLC?
Good point! Hmmm, and micro transactions. Then again, maybe EvilCorp doesn't value human life at more than $20.

Sure - I host websites at work, some even have downloads on them - there is no appreciable increase or decrease in cost to the company if someone from NZ access the site or someone outside of NZ. If there was a significant increase in the international bandwidth costs (so we became wildly popular overseas) then the cost associated with increasing our international Data limit would be distributed equally.

The only possible reason for charging more could be if you implemented some form of local (regional) caching for faster downloads - in which case the increase cost would be a premium service which one should be able to opt in or out of.
1) Non-anecdotal
2) Software distribution is not the same as hosting websites

In science, definitions of anecdotal evidence include:

Not that^ I.e something that directly relates to the scenario at hand, with specific real world examples backed by actual facts.

I have no idea why the price differences can be so drastic, but without an actual example I'm unlikely to believe someone on an internet forum claiming its price gouging.
