At my house we dine with some goddamn class

Bailey's and cream liquors are probably processed. I was thinking more along the likes of a white russian (coffee cream liquor, vodka, cream). To tell you the truth, that's the only creamy cocktail I know from the top of my head, so it might not be as popular as I made it out in my first comment.

edit: And because we're talking about Bailey's, I couldn't help but invite Old Greg.

Slow down there, cowboy.

VAT was so high because everyone and their mother would be cheating their income taxes. He bumped it 2%, I believe, for whatever the heck reason (insatiability?), so we're pretty much world leaders in that regard.

Where are you from? In Hungary people are just realizing they have a semblance of power with their vote. We were conditioned during the communist era to keep our heads ducked and make due for ourselves. This is changing, we'll see on the 12th how quickly.

I hope I was able to answer some of your questions.

Great article, thanks for sharing!

I was just discussing something along these lines with a friend. Back when dial-up was was king, I went to an info expo where they were displaying broadband. I typed in my email host's website, and when I pressed enter, the page just clicked in. No vertical loading whatsoever. It was the future!

Funny to see twenty-odd years later we are stuck in the same throttling ecperience us dial-up users had to experience organically. I really hope a new web is in the brewing. Corpo greed is so fucking cruel.
