I guess it's what you grew up with. If you come from a country where tax is included in the displayed price, and where tipping is not a screwed up part of the culture, then it's nontrivial to train yourself to have to do these sums you are simply not used to doing.
Tips, I can understand I suppose, it's part of the culture here and the wages are adjusted down to account for tips, I am sure. But why the hell not display the *actual* price of a product? Pisses me off lol.
I just went through all this recently and thought similarly to you, but the reality is, there is still a lot of XP/IE out there and you can;t just ignore that audience yet if you want to appear professional. "Upgrade your stuff to use our site" does not instill confidence in a client when they can use all the other websites just fine. Plus it's not always up to them.
Soon, my friend. Soon.

Whoooa! Not so fast there matey! I know this is not on the market, but it's a little further along than 'some research'. it won awards! It was planned to go into the Saab 9-5 until GM bought them and decided that it wasn't worth spending money on forward thinking technology. Yeah, well done.

I think someone has a 'whoosh' jammer switched on near you.
Why queue it when you can just say it?
Or did you mean 'Cue the..."?
Oh and my fave one has to be the dollar store. Sorry, I mean the $1.13 store... Errr....

I think the first guys sorted the monetary system by using leaves as currency.
What could possibly go wrong with that?
Then click 'love'
We need to make sure that when we get there, we have a good infrastructure of lawyers, big media execs and politicians.
It is funny when Monty Python does Monty Python. It is not funny when you do Monty Python.
I tend to agree, glad we got all that sorted out! ;)
No he isn't.
Abuse? Oh sorry, this is arguments. Abuse is down the hall.
No it isn't.

My old Archos (That came out before the iPod) currently sports 320GB.
Oh to have an "Adrenaline Job" :)
I admit, the drolly motorway driving stuck at 100 in traffic is boring. But there is so much more to driving than just the droll commute.
Actually, I like driving so much that I removed the droll part and take the train to work :)
I would hazard a guess that if I was racing for a living, I would not get bored of it. Ever ;)
Tom...
If you are implying that I will get bored of driving when I turn an arbritrary $old_age, you are sorely mistaken my friend :)
If that is what youa ere implying, I am curious: At what age should I magically become bored of driving?
lol what?
I enjoyed it when I was nineteen too, and I still enjoy it now.
First thing I'd do is turn the damn thing off. I actually *enjoy* driving.
Get some ladders and weld them end to end with your TIG welder from Harbour Freight.
In other words, it's not ready to use yet.

Anyway, you don't even need to do that. All you need to do is hit Esc before it redirects to the blackout page. Simples.
Wikipedia is NOT down...

Anyway, the Saab variable compression ratio engine, very do-able:

The best interests of the nation, of course! That's what they are there for.
