Every time the Olympics are on I try and see if I can watch the (usually) one day that Table Tennis is to be shown on television. Every time I've done that the television broadcasts always have focused primarilly on Artistic Gymnastics and other things I don't care about. In 1992 I watched all day on that day and all I saw were about 2 minutes worth of highlights and results in a small box superimposed over the other sports.
All I'm saying is I was hoping to get live coverage of Table Tennis this Olympics. So much for that pipe dream.
I took German in High School for 4 years and lived in Germany for two years working hard to learn and improve my use of the language. I must say that upon returning home I had a strong tendancy (and periodically sometimes still do) to capitalize every noun.
As far as typing goes I still sometime transpose the Y and the Z while typing after having gotten used to it being that way on German keyboards presumably because Z is a much more common letter in German than it is in English and that Y appears primarilly only in words borrowed from other languages or really old German (in other words, Y is not very common).
When I was living in Germany (both before and after the advent of the Euro) all of the machines I used let you get anything down to 10 DM or 5 Euros. And if I withdrew 200 Euros the machine would give me:
(1) 100
(1) 50
(1) 20
(2) 10
(2) 5
It seemed pretty cool at first to get all the different denominations. Then I realized I was stuch with a 100 Euro note and it was always a pain finding a place that would take it when I never bought anything expensive with cash. (I usually was able to use it when buying a week's worth of groceries.)
One might wonder though how to reconcile Oddpost's MSIE requirement with Yahoo!'s (thus far) cross-platform approach.
I happen to live in very small location where Cox Cable Internet Service is not available and my only options are Adelphia *shudder* and SBC. SBC just happens to use Yahoo! for all of their email accounts.
Until now Linux has never been supported with the service per se, but it has always worked well even though they officially use a proprietary PPPoE connection. I just signed up for another year's contract and I am going to be quite upset if I have to use WINE or VMWare just to change my prefs. We'll just cross our fingers that the POP3 access will still be left intact.
