    Oh, go away little shill person. I've had a look at the (s)lyerfox site and it's a total shill site. It even hides it's registration details behind a third party. Don't waste any more of my time.

    You sir, are a liar or a fool. The rewrite from scratch, binning the original Netscape code was complete over six years ago.

    Oh look, you're an AC. Who'd have thought. (shill!?)

    Anyone who still supports it is either a liar, a dupe, or a traitor

    It's my personal contention that the remaining supporters are those who were previously loudest in supporting the war and who now don't feel they can u-turn without looking stupid.

    I think subscribing just removes the several pages of ads between the question and the free-to-view answer further down. I admit it's not obvious.

    I've never come across an EE page without the accepted answer (where one has been accepted).

    Instead of "our game sucked so no one bought it," they can now say "our game didn't sell well because most people waited and bought used copies."

    '...which were only readily available because our game sucked '

    They don't seem to understand that a game which remains engaging simply won't be in the used-game stores.

    Any road in which the carriageway going one way is physically separated from the carriageway going the other way. Hence 'dual'. Sometimes there is a gap, sometimes there is a barrier. They typically have higher speed limits because there is no oncoming traffic.

    Not to be confused with a 'two-lane' road which has one carriageway divided into four (two in each direction).

    ...and no, it's not a euro-test. It's a brit-test. S'there, yankee ;-)

    I should have said: I frequently can't remember names of things either. There was once an occasion when I was describing driving in the rain, and I had to describe the things that were worn out as "those things that wipe the windscreen".

    I certainly do. When I am on the train to work, planning DIY in the evening, say, then I will work around the room in my head, planning what order I will do things in, and I can see the whole room from any angle. I'm doing it now, just to check!

    Me too. It's called Anomia

    Curable/copable for most people using mnemonics. I can do a few people at a time now, by imagining them in a hug with someone else with the same name. I hold the pictures better than the words. Still can't cope in a new contract when I have ten people to remember: I won't be able to hold any of them.

    Only works for first names, and only names I've come across before, so not a perfect solution!
