After our US-only test with Microsoft in December, we've convinced them to raise the stakes for the prize AND open it to anyone, worldwide. Use our sample app to try Windows Azure and you could win an HP TouchSmart laptop or a copy of Win 7 ultimate (see the info page[^] terms and conditions for full info). You have to enter in February, so the earlier, the better!
Enter today and tell a friend![^]

My house is insured for $500k, my contents for $315k. The bill is $2400. Does that seem reasonable to you ? My house is 27 square. I DID just spend $100k on renovations throughout, but, does that seem a little high to replace the house ? I just called Real Insurance, they won't quote because we live on 11 acres, but the bill I have seems too high to me.
AAMI says they won't insure as we have sheep.
Allianz says:
Unfortunately we are unable to offer you insurance :
unless you have a back to base alarm and key operated deadlocks on all external doors, and key operated window locks or window security grills on all windows & sliding doors up to 3 metres from ground level fitted to your property.
Real Insurance are the ones who will not quote unless I have less than 10 acres.
This is ridiculous. I am scared to call RACT to ammend my policy in case they refuse to insure me also.Christian Graus Driven to the arms of OSX by Vista. Read my blog to find out how I've worked around bugs in Microsoft tools and frameworks. modified on Tuesday, February 9, 2010 7:08 PM

Wow! so you pay $2400 for fake insurance because real insurance will not insure you.

ROTFL !!! Well, I just got a quote from another company. $940. But, I got the quote by lying. They won't cover me, because we have sheep and chickens on the property.Christian Graus Driven to the arms of OSX by Vista.

So go to a rural property insurer and then claim it from the Govt as farmer assistance. Add a dash of the black to your ancestry and the Govt will probably pay the insurance for you.
I would have thought your crime rate would be fairly low and that would be reflected in the premiums. Obviously they know something I don't about acreages in Tasmania.Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

The job is supposed to be converted to civil service in August. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.....45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

Try not to scream at the CEO and frighten the entire IT department. And good luck.

Possibly - though maybe his CEO reads CP too (seems to be the other tech guy there after John).

I suspect that where John's attitude towards these guys is concerned, something about apathy and a rodent's posterior comes to mind...
