Fuck you, roaming charges!
I was in the UK for 5 days a couple of weeks ago. It cost me 70CHF in roaming charges. 12CHF for 120kb of data works out to 100CHF per mb (or 100,000CHF per gb).

Made me laugh
Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I’m a dog chasing cars. I wouldn’t know what to do with one if I caught it! You know, I just… *do* things.

Hell is the Semantic Web
The Definition Of Hell For Each Myers-Briggs Personality Type:
ENFJ – Your loved ones are in dire need of guidance but every piece of advice you gives them inadvertently makes things worse for them.
ENFP – Every minute of the rest of your life has been scheduled for you – and it’s a long series of arbitrary, solitary tasks.
ENTJ – Somebody is wrong, and they’re directing a large group of people! You can’t do anything about it and will have to obey whatever inefficient policies they decide to implement
ENTP – Freedom of speech is revoked from the constitution. Voicing your opinion in any way is now illegal.
ESFJ – Someone you love is in dire need of practical help and you can’t give it to them. Worse yet, they think you’re refusing to help them out of pettiness and they’re mad at you.
ESFP – You are stuck in a room by yourself for the rest of eternity.
ESTJ – An incredibly impractical person is put in charge of all of your major life decisions. You have to do whatever they say and are powerless to argue or reason with them.
ESTP – You are completely paralyzed, lacking even the ability to speak.
INFJ – You are eternally damned to working for a morally corrupt company that aims to exploit the weak and generally degrade conditions for all of society.
INFP – Your deepest thoughts and feelings are exposed to a large audience and everyone thinks that you’re pathetic and unoriginal.
INTJ – Every time you open your mouth to say something intelligent, something entirely idiotic comes out instead.
INTP – You are eternally condemned to researching an extremely vapid topic using wildly inaccurate methods, mostly involving interviewing people who have no idea what they’re talking about.
ISFJ – Everyone you love is yelling at each other and it’s all your fault.
ISFP – You have to listen to rude people criticizing your personal choices, your appearance and your art form all day long. Nobody cares that they’re hurting your feelings.
ISTJ – You are expected to complete a highly esteemed project with absolutely no guidance as to what’s expected of you.
ISTP – The Zombie apocalypse happens but you’re suddenly the world’s weakest fighter and must depend solely on your loved ones to keep you alive.
