For some reason this caught my eye.
Australia is the most expensive region in which we operate, but for an interesting reason. We peer with virtually every ISP in the region except one: Telstra. Telstra, which controls approximately 50% of the market, and was traditionally the monopoly telecom provider, charges some of the highest transit pricing in the world — 20x the benchmark ($200/Mbps). Given that we are able to peer approximately half of our traffic, the effective bandwidth benchmark price is $100/Mbps.

Would love to see that in person I've heard friends say it is really so much more awesome in person.
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?

I got to see one in that neck of the woods in about '84, and it was beyond what your friends said. The one I saw lasted almost all night long, and colors slowly danced all over the sky.

It's on my bucket list.
of course slow dancing with Jennifer Aniston is too!

I would like to see them again from Chena Hot Springs[^]. (With your slow dancing partner )

Yeah that would work, looks like an awesome place.

If I weren't married I would have Salma Hayek on my bucket list.

If I was a 100 years younger Sama Hayek would be my bucket list.

We are camping at Glacier park right now. At the Saint Mary KOA actually. Would love to see an aurora but it is low overcast and threating rain.

Beautiful country! I hope you get some clear skies, too!

I'm reading up on Git because I'm using it at work now and the tutorial I'm reading keeps referencing SVN. You'd figure if you're writing a tutorial on Git and referencing SVN it's because you know both extensively, but as I read it, I'm seeing statements that are completely wrong about SVN. The author seems to only know about SVN superficially... but why compare them at all?

Welcome to development. That's the way it is with everything. Most times choice of tools seem more like religion than anything else.

The author assumes the reader has good knowledge of SVN, as you pointed out. Then it is easier for learning to compare with something you know, than starting from scratch. (Not always, but in this case, I think it is, that is the way I am teaching the stuff as well).

You might want to read this[^]. A very good introduction. There are also plenty of tutorials here on CP.

Well, I've only been working with SVN for the past eight years.
...and no, I'm not biasing how Git works, just this particular author's choice to compare it against something he obviously doesn't understand well.

|

I never said _You_ were the one who was wrong.
And I suppose the author does not know that he does not understand SVN well.
I have a lot of examples at work of people who *think* they can do something, while they definitely can't.

True. I'm trying not to be one of those... albeit trying and succeeding are two completely different things.
