Agreed, except that instead of using IE-specific tag selectors I prefer conditional comments. That way, if the next version if IE breaks your hacks, it is easier to see where they are, and to change them so they work only in the IE versions for which they apply. My experience is that only a small number of these are necessary in what you typically want to use in a website, and you only have to figure them out once.
The only reasonable definition of IQ is "that what is measured by an IQ test."
Intelligence is not something that is as easy to define as weight or height. To devise an intelligence test you have to have some notion of what you would consider to be intelligence. Also, IQ is something like 'deviation from the norm', where the norm is 100. So these results seem to tell more about the assumptions if the makers of the test than about the testees. I mean, if you would start from the assumption that men and women have equal intelligence, you would tweak the test until that was the result you get. That is why IQ tests are worthless for comparing divergent groups.
You are contradicting yourself- first you say voluntary community associations are uniquely american, and then you say corporations are voluntary associations. Corporations (for profit or non profit) are not uniquely (or originally) american.
But I imagine it is an advantage for the teacher to be able to ge feedback from the whole class to see if he has been clear enough or should elaborate?
The Dutch movie
Ja Zuster Nee Zuster used the red ross trademark without asking permission... They settled by collecting money for the red cross in the cinema, if I remeber correctly/
I bought my first computer in 1996... at the age of 36. It was an old Commodore 64, it was almost free and came with a lot of books and programs.
I'd always been vaguely interested in computers, but until then I had no experience of actually using one at all- never could afford them.
I learned basic, then some pascal, and I played a little bit around with machine language.
Then I suddenly had some money and I bought my first pc- it had a Cyrix 166+ processor, 16mb of ram and it was called a Commodore- the shop I bought it from (cannot think of the name) was the owner of the name at that time.
After 2 months I discovered Linux and started dual booting Win95 and Slackware.
After 2 years I found my first job writing server side scripts- first in Perl, then ASP.
I'm still doing that, now mainly PHP.
And I'm still dual booting- WinXP and Mandrake at the moment.
The torch relay was first done in Berlin 1936, but the lighting of the Olympic fire was first done in Amsterdam 1928, if I recall correctly it was thought up by the architect of the Amsterdam Olympic Stadium partly as a "fuck you" to conservative christian politicians who opposed the Olympics as being a heathen affair
I don't really understand why LOTR should be the ulimate book for geeks. I read it and immensely enjoyed it a long time ago; but I read a lot of other things that spoke more to my geeky side. I enjoy shifting perpectives, playing with structure, recursion etc. When I was younger and mainly read SF, I found that kind of stuff in writers like Philip Dick, who I still like to read; I don't feel the urge to go back to Tolkien. Now, many years later, I'm still reading a lot, and I find those things in writers like Borges, Italo Calvino, Flann O'Brien, Georges Perec...
Anyway, art is not a contest, and any good book should feel like the best book in the world while you're reading it.
I thought the movies were OK for what they are, but they don't seem to have much to do with what I remember enjoying in the books.
The "haiku" in this thread are closer to Senryu. Senryu have the same form as haiku but are "lighter" in content,often humorous, they don't require the season word, are more like occasional light verse.
Amen to that. I was a kid in the sixties, and we had lego. Although for technical/mecanical stuff, in this time Meccano, and a little bit later Fischer Technik was more useful.
Funny how nostalgia moves forwards... I remeber when I was a student/pinball fn in the 80s we used to be nostlgic for the all-mechanic pinball machines from the past... On the pier at Scheveningen they used to have an arcade/selling place where you could still play those (or buy one for a few hundred guilders... which I never had).. I especially remember one called 'Cowpoke'.

Don't know about the other two, but I'm pretty sure most dinosaurs where not immune to baldness..

Wasn't that a Doc Smith novel?

Latin is written from left to right, and roman numerals have the bigger units on the left
>>Especially when there has already been one since 1976
You mean to say that before 1976 there was not tallest building in the world?
Actually, rats have been known to do some clustering..... in Dutch we call such a cluster a 'rattekoning' (rat king), don't know the English name
