  1. Re:Never trust it on Microsoft TouchStudio Uses Phone To Program Phone · · Score: 0

    I never trust a native speaker who cannot use his own language correctly. "look at what we just did in only 100 lines or fewer".

    ......Correct: There were fewer days below freezing last winter. (Days can be counted.) ......

    So you can't count "100 lines" individually?

    I would guess that was a bit tongue in cheek!

  3. Re:A subset of PDF files? on Aussie Government Gives PDF the Thumbs Down · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't understand the comparrison between websites and PDF's? Graphical text banners, or images that contain text, are perfectly acceptable under WCAG, as long as alt text or long descriptions are used correctly. And if a PDF is correctly created then text can easily be read by a screen reader.

    That made me laugh, having just re-read George Orwell's 1984.

  5. Re:Interesting on In EU, Google Accused of YouTube "Free Ride" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have been banging on about your third point for some time. Especially where I took out an "Unlimited" bundle to only then start getting warnings about contravening "acceptable use" policies. Where were they when I signed up. On several occasions I just sent a link back to my ISP to an online dictionary definition of the word "Unlimited" and heard no more. But now it seems that the ISP want paying from both ends, I pay for my bandwidth and Google pays for me to use it??? Doesn't seem right to me.
