  i'm getting it just to create more space in the carrying case for the netbook

  i have a small mouse now but the cable isn't the self coiling type. and i think there are smaller mice than the one i am using now

  maybe i can avoid RSI by controlling the small mouse with just my fingers.

  my notebook bag fits the macbook pro exactly.. the side compartment allows the slim HDDs to be put with a mouse in case i want to use it...

  the bloody power cable, i had to buy a small pouch to clip on the bag.. but the bag is damned slim

  just go read the 2nd page...

  as long as we treat foreign workers like animals, we will never ever be considered "1st world"

  you gotta see the horrific state the poor bastards are living in....

  It's one of those things that I'm ashamed of. Thankfully it's not as obvious as the foreign workers on flatbed lorries. I don't even attempt to justify that.

  i think it's obscene... they jury-rig pipes from a water tank and make them shower in the open in a huge drain, and the whole "dorm" looks like some kind of refugee hellhole...

  That sounds more attractive than a sewage spa.

  But it looks like it didn't flood today.

  And very often the toilets are choked or the flush doesn't work, but the workers are forced to use them anyway. There's always a massive queue for the limited "showers". The food that they are given would probably be comparable to the SAF cookhouse food of yore, while the sleeping areas are like concentration camps, only with bedbugs instead of fleas.
