Some languages, including French and apparently Portuguese, use a comma as the decimal place and a period to delimit sets of three digits to the left of the decimal.
I have friend with an arcade Pac Man game. Unfortunately, the machine took some abuse at a party. Now the display works intermittently and is unusable when it does work.

I am a new slashdot user. I might be able to lend an "outsider's" point of view.
I first visited slashdot a few weeks ago. I found an article on quantum computing next to a link to a Lego site. This combination has kept me coming back.
When I saw the Linux in the university piece, I was overwhelmed by the three links in the body of the article. (I know it is as simple as looking at the URLs, but I found it easier to go straight to the forums.)

They should have used a foot to emphasize the "small footprint."
Those basic programs must have been really bad if the disk kept coming back to you.
I was about to suggest my favorite on-screen keyboard until I remembered that installing programs on public computers started this whole thing.

I like to use Crazy Browser. It has an option to open the page that you were viewing last session.
This is not a stand-alone browser; it uses IE's rendering engine.
(There is an effective pop-up filter built in, but it often blocks good pop-ups. I fall back on IE in these situations.)
