1346605 2013-06-22 10:24:00 not sure. Sweet -- guess we'll find out in time :) wainuitech (129)
1346606 2013-06-22 11:43:00 Nope, we most certainly don't need 20 Million people here. We need to accept we are a small country and be happy with all the positive aspects of that
and not do our damnedest to contribute to the overcrowding of the world. I don't care if our economy doesn't support everything that other countries can. There are enough of those overcrowded, polluted places in the world already. Anyone who prefers that should move there and help them keep their growth numbers up.

If that means we get a magazine with a lot of overseas content in it, no problem. Last I checked American PC's functioned much the same as NZ ones.

Yeah, like the power button now riding on the right hand side of the case, instead of the left side, and the fans all spinning in the opposite direction in the Northern Hemisphere.

Left clicks become right clicks, and instead of clicking a start button to shutdown you click a shutdown button to initiate boot... nothing too challenging.

He he

But don't forget hard drives are measures in inches eg 3.5"

But it really is time the world standardized on

Metrics
Date formats
Driving on the same side of the road (I don't care which)

1346609 2013-06-22 21:47:00 Well since America is the only country still using Imperial they should change ( Canada is metric)
Since America is the only country that can't get the date right they should change
Since driving on the right would confuse the hell out of most Kiwi drivers the rest of the world should drive on the left

Technically YYYY-mm-dd is standard ;)

1346611 2013-06-22 22:30:00 I believe that dates should be a private matter. Apparently any usage is approved under our new rules. ;) R2x1 (4628)

So any of these (xkcd.com) are fine then? ;)
