I thought that Strictly Come Dancing and Strictly Dance Fever were far superior reality TV offerings to the likes of How Clean Is Your Toilet, Big Brother, Celebrity Love Island and the rest.
That's not head and shoulders, its a couple of hair widths at best. How about showing something in prime time that isn't a worn out old soap or reality TV for a change.
The use of yeah? at the end of sentences is common to those in the south of England, and in particular London.
You're doing well so far.
Also common in New Zealand.
Not really, unless they've recently returned from a couple of years in London and it rubbed off on them. Kiwi's are more likely to use "eh" at the end of sentences, like Canadians.
I dread to think what that parameter might do if one changed it to "11" assuming it means what I think it means.
"11" is for goatse. "12" gets you tubgirl. DON'T, whatever you do, try "13"!!! My colleague found these out in the interest of science. He is now someone else's science experiment in the insane asylum.
I suspect that is where the 100,000 comes from. The "maybe up to half a million" more likely comes from items that stores have committed to selling in future.
My share broker's site used to use a Javascript popup for login, then resize the Window you'd opened it from to suit their page. It didn't work properly with the default security settings in Firefox, so I persistently complained about it until they provided an alternative login mechanism without any popups or resizing. The old login method is still there in the form of a big Login button on the left side of their front page, though why anyone would use it instead of the Username and Password boxes in the top right, I don't know.
So they kind of lied, and wouldn't Opera would be vulnerable if the user has Java installed?
I haven't been following Opera development lately, but did they remove native Javascript support in 8.01 and rely on some Java implementation? Otherwise what would Java have to do with this bug?
Considering the pervasiveness of non-English and English in India, they have become experts at including support for numerous languages simultaneously, even those written in very different scripts.
Not really. The Indian scripts are very poorly supported by most operating systems and software. It is only recently that Indian programmers have started to work on this and improve the software situation for their own domestic market. Most Indian programmers have barely more awareness of internationalisation issues than Americans in my experience.
My standard response to that standard response is "so if you were running a shop, would you consider it acceptable to only admit customers who were wearing Nike trainers? Do you think you would stay in business long once a few Reebok and Adidas wearers had got the word out what an arrogant prick you are?"
IE reports as Mozilla Compatible. As it has been explained to me, browsers that did not mark themselves as such got much less rich content from webservers.
From about half a dozen sites in 1995. If IE had moved on without faking the browser tag, website owners would have grown out of it by now. Since they went with faking it, it validated the practice and it just became more widespread.
What was really annoying was the ALT images that showed up in the background for a fraction of a second before the Flash icons replaced them. I'm almost tempted to send a request off to the FlashBlock authors to request that they overlay the flash icons over ALT blocks of the flash object. But then the other half of me considers that this is probably the only page I would want that, the main use of Flash being advertising.

I might be able to help you here. Go to https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/creditcard/cd_step1. jsp?type=private, for license holder, enter Mr J Rumney, for address details house number 24, postcode G37 8BC, enter your credit card details and press submit. I'm sure the BBC will be most grateful.
That's not what the grandparent meant. In NZ, you don't just have e-filing, the IRD sends you a letter at the end of each year saying this is what we think (you owe/we owe you). If you agree, you don't fill in any forms, online or offline. If you disagree, you still can fill in the forms if you want to, but the majority of wage and salary earners don't need to since their tax situation is simple enough for the IRD to have gotten it right. The California proposal looks the same as this, except they show you the whole form, not just the final amount.
That's not as bad as getting mailing list archives.
Mailing list archives are almost always exactly what I was looking for. They are pure information, no marketing fluff like the official pages for a product often are. The problem is that some mailing lists have a gazillion mirrors, so if the first hit isn't exactly what you were looking for, you have to flick through 10 pages of exactly the same result before you get to something else that might solve your problem. A voluntary standard for mirrors of mailing lists to indicate to robots that they are mirrors would help here. There'd be no benefit to lying about it, since all it would do is raise the rank of the master site slightly and direct all searches there (or the master site could delegate mirrors in its robots.txt so the search results could be distributed under control of the master that was indexed).

Maybe it depends on dialect, but where I'm from eh is definitely common, and yeah is unheard of eh bro.

Or "We don't have issues with profiting off open source, we just have an issue with all the open source we're not profiting off."

Presumably less so than in countries where fraud and corruption are a part of everyday life though.

In English, that would be internationalisation.
Its not a big deal for you, because you are in control of your own mail server. Most people do not have that luxury.
Not when it blocks legitimate email from mailing lists etc at the same time.
The credit card companies pull that crap on merchants too, its not like Paypal thought it up as a business model.
Because there are a lot of Nigerians and Russians out there with a list of "reasonable credit cards".
My standard response to that standard response is "so if you were running a shop, would you consider it acceptable to only admit customers who were wearing Nike trainers?

Perhaps they should rename that book to "CSS (for people who want to look like dummies)"

Everyone who runs Linux/Unix mailservers should turn off thier antivirus filters in protest. Maybe the DoJ will wake up and notice then.
or even right click -> "allow flash from this domain" -> reload

Or block the Referer header, so they can't see what your search terms were, and that you came from Google.
