If the euro price has already been established as ân*, the USD can fall to 5 bucks a euro if it wants; it doesn't make it any more expensive to buy in Europe except in people's imagination. Americans are still paying the same price; Europeans are still paying the same price. The exchange rate goes down and Microsoft makes a windfall. Lucky Microsoft.:shrug:

There was a well publicised 5.2 quake last year with its epicenter in Lincolnshire only 20 miles from where I live. All I can say is the feeling was almost... sexual!
...is for there always to be a "restore itemised factory defaults" function as well as the usual "restore the whole fucking lot and sacrifice all the customisations you've spent months getting right" function.
Yes but grains there are, so a silver halide image can never be a seamless continuum of hue and brightness. No matter how good the grains are, there are still a (very) finite number of them. Seems we need a better definition of analogue.
My response is I completely fail to see anything xenophobic about this particular subject, and I'm as vehemently anti-xenophobe as anyone you're likely to meet. But yes, I can see how newspapers like the Daily Mail might get hold of it and twist it into a xeno issue.
I've just read TFS again and yes, I was right, it does indeed say "culture". It makes no mention of national identity. I admire a whole lot of cultures, so why shouldn't I admire the good features of my own? But then someone has to come along don't they and judge it to be an insult against Britons with other cultural backgrounds (cultures, incidentally, that I admire just as much as mine, have no problem acknowledging, and which I don't demand merge with my own!).
Of course we have Soccer in Britain. It's a British word FFS. When I was a kid, all the comics wrote about Soccer, not Football, and that was before most of America knew what it was. Now just because the yanks have adopted the word it's considered unbritish. Crazy.
People with higher incomes are more likely to have most things. The richer they are the more they are going to spend. Which means they probably pay more in VAT in a month that you pay income tax in a year. And they've already paid a FAR bigger net percentage of their earnings in income tax than you. Now you want to tax them extra not only on what they earn but also on what they spend. Just how much subsidising do people need?
The rich already make a disproportionate contribution in the form of heavy income tax. As far as I'm concerned, once they've done that they can then do what they like with what remains and should be able to do so on the same terms as everyone else.
Unthirded and back down to second! I tried it out and it simply got on my nerves, on both 4x3 and 16x9 screens. Maybe it's because when I browse, all the tabs contain related stuff anyway.

Sorry, I live in the 21st century. ;)

No, â is. Ã is the lame interpretation of the â symbol. ROFL
In answer to the other poster: I entered the â with the euro key (alt-gr E) of course!

Where did I define anything? I said we NEEDED a better definition. :rolls eyes:

You can also add to the list, "Daily Express: see Daily Mail"
I'm 60. ;)
Colloquially we always called it footy, but comics and toys liked the word Soccer a lot. "Soccer strips", "Subbuteo table soccer", etc.
The main point is that Americanism is a false call in this case. They didn't give the word to us; we gave it to them.

Would it really have broken CSS if they'd included something like
#centered-element {
position: centered;
}
or even
#centered-element {
position: absolute;
center: 0;
}
Having to know and use arcane stuff like margin:auto is totally absurd.
For once, the mistaken use of loosing for losing is probably even more spot on!
It's the sort of thing a geek would like, sure, but can you honestly imagine granny getting her head round it?

Metaphors don't go in quotes. Nor do they usually need explaining.

ROFL. I wish I had mod points.
Surely he has done something about those specific issues. The wrong thing maybe, but undeniably (and regrettably) something.
Yep, the old slippery slope argument takes some beating.

Everyone certainly is not fascinated with such images. I don't know where you get "facts" like that from.
Whoops, misread your post!! Sorry!
