Oh Jens, you know I would if it were at all possible.

Only when it's followed by the word bastard. And even then not when we mean it.

My housemates and i were all...wait..what? WHY? They shoved a piece of paper at us and said: THIS SHOULD EXPLAIN IT, then stole our power and left.
So we apparently have an unpaid bill we never ever recieved, and we got no notices about it or had any idea we had an outstanding bill at all! But we did have no power today! We had to go pay $200 cash for this bill of an undisclosed amount (which we still have not seen) to get the power switched back on today. We are lucky I keep a good stash of backup money in case of emergencies or we would be sitting around in the dark right now.

This is delightful to me personally, because all I can picture is a dude dressed up like the Hamburglar running away from a dejected Jodie folding out her pockets. Over his back is a large sack with a big lightning bolt on it (Which is how we know her power is in it).
On a more serious note: either it's a mistake or, no offense, you have no one to blame but yourself or your housemates. Bills come monthly and shit gets lost in the mail a lot. If you're living on your own, you need to keep track of these things and not rely on this shit getting to you in any reasonable fashion. If it's been two months since you paid your electric bill and you haven't seen a notice, you should probably call the power company or check your online statement.

That is what I meant, and if that isn't true then I simply don't understand saying "an horrific" because H is a consonant.
Incidentally, the main word where I see people do that is "hotel" (ie. people writing "an hotel.") I'm not sure why, other than I guess "hotel" is probably the most common H word in typical modern day conversation.

Blog thread, I hate the Oz kernel language.
(Also, I suspect that piece of code lacks one "local X in ... end".)
