I seem to be in a minority, but I prefer Hotmail over Yahoo. I've never really had any problems with it.

Me too - make the most of it if I'm paying over the odds just to use the damn thing. What exactly is the standard limit, 110?

A German cannibal who confessed to killing, dismembering and eating another man has been cleared of murder.
A Kassel court found Armin Meiwes had no "base motives" and sentenced him to eight and a half years prison on the lesser charge of manslaughter.
Meiwes had admitted killing and eating engineer Bend-Juergen Brandes, but said his victim had consented to his own gruesome death.
But prosecutors have called Meiwes a "human butcher" who acted simply to "satisfy a sexual impulse".
They say he should have been found guilty of murder and are considering an appeal.
The jury heard how Meiwes met Brandes after advertising on the internet for "young men for real slaughter and consumption".
The pair ate the engineer's penis before Meiwes carved the body into pieces, stored 66 pounds of flesh in a freezer and buried bones and the skull in the garden, the court heard.
Meiwes told the court that he met five other potential victims but did not eat them for various reasons - either they were too fat, too old, backed down or appeared unfriendly.
The court also heard how the 42-year-old computer technician was trying to find a second person to eat after devouring his first victim.
A policewoman said Meiwes described his compulsion to police as "a bit like a werewolf" that overcame him every six to eight weeks under a full moon.
Both sides had argued that Meiwes was mentally fit and a psychiatrist agreed, telling the court that while he may have been perverted he was legally sane.

OK we all know there are tons of drink vending machines all over the place here. Sometimes 10 in a row, all selling (almost) the same. But does anyone know just WHY there are so many of the things? It just seems so illogical.

Quite often. Most weekdays

SAD SYD IN MEDAL APOLOGY
From Alex Spink In Sydney
RUGBY boss Syd Millar has been forced to apologise for his handling of the medal presentation ceremony after the World Cup final.
Dr Millar, chairman of the International Rugby Board, was the man chosen to present the runners-up medals to the heartbroken Wallabies.
But instead of discharging his duties in a sympathetic manner, he crudely rushed the job - almost throwing the medals at the players.
"It was not a matter of disrespect," he insisted yesterday. "I was rushing because I was conscious of the time."
He started by almost lassoing the shocked Wallabies before giving up and simply handing them out. There was no eye contact nor word of comfort for players who had just had their lifelong dream of World Cup glory crushed by Jonny Wilkinson's last-gasp drop goal.
Millar blamed the 20-minute period of extra time which had left broadcasters short of time to conclude their presentation of rugby's showpiece event.
He said: "They were wanting us to hurry up and get on with it and I was conscious that the ceremony was not right. But we should have done it better. I apologise."

You did well. Nice one, Nils. They look sweet.

I was simply browsing a few days ago when my PC decided to just freeze on me. Blasted thing. I have Windoes Millenium.

Most surely.
But if that's their target, then fine. I hope there are still enough rich people to enjoy.

Comfortable spring seems to be lasting longer than I thought it would this year. Hurray!

Ours is 6000 yen every 6 months, and when I asked they explained that it is used to keep the garbage areas cleaned and other public facilities in the village area I am in.
