Actually most English words have Greek and Latin descent. Very few find their roots in German.
As for the ignorance; you're right that it's correctable, but it's ironic that we know enough to explain the differences to the ignorant individuals. I honestly attribute that to the permeation of US culture in the rest of the english speaking world. We undnestand the differences between US culture and our own, far more than Americans understand the differences between their culture and others'...
The only things some Americans probably only know about Canada is 1)beer, 2)hockey and 3)eh!
And I pity the poor soul who hasn't had Canadian beer:)
By Hillbillies I meant southern folks who takl really slowly and aren't aware of any other country other than good ol' america and believe it's normal to own assault rifles:)
Anyway, I know what you mean about units; I can tell speed in KM/H, weight and height in pounds, but distances in Km, volume in ml / l, and temperature in Celcius.
I have no idea what 173cm tall is, and how much 77kg is without using a conversino tool. Likewise, I have no clue what 104 Farenheit is - is that hot?:)
Hehehehe... My favourite is when I phone American hillbillies and have to spell something with "z" in it. I get a response "zed"? What's "zed"? (in the rest of the world, the letter zee is reall the letter zed)
It gets even better. These same hillbillies spell my fiance's last name Cadezed when she spells it to them - read "C-A-D-E-Z(ed)".
And it would be okay if it was only in America, but then they come to Canada and as such stupid questions too! "zed"? What's "zed"? "Oh you mean zee!"... No we didn't mean "zee". If we meant "zee" would have said "zee".
Yes, but the complex part is proving damages. What kind of financial or emotional hardship has the owner of the card gone through? Missing photos? Well they lost the card. Humiliation? Depends on the photos (so far not really), so it'd be up to a judge to determine the extent of the damages. Probably not worth suing over, for judges can be a bit unpredictable in this case.
Same thing with copyright infringement - if there's no damages incurred, then the best legal recourse is to get a cease and decist order.
Though personally, if it was me, and I lost my photos, better that I stumble accross them on the web, rather than never find them. I guess I'd be kinda grateful for finding them in a blog...
Hmmm... Don't forget your browser needs to parse the html and render it to your screen. That also takes some time. Granted not much, but ever used msn.com as your home page? It'll feel like shit because your browser has to work that much harder to parse it. And msn.com is the same size as A9.com.
Even easier with all the unsecured wireless connections out there to frame anyone for spam... Just drive up, spam, and it's done. Then turn them in. It's so easy!
Considering everything else FF does, I think it's a small trade-off...
Not only that, but why have a toolbar reporting back your browsing habits? Maybe it's a security hole that FF doesn't want...

You must be young. My first handheld was actually a tabletop game - Pac Man, and then later on, I got Zaxxon. All led driven stuff...
lol and Ruby
Nice link eh... I stand corrected :)
:)
I almost sounded like the guy from My BIg Fat Greek Wedding
Moving forward, that sounds like an acceptable solution. Let's interface over this tomorrow :)

Uhm, AFAIK flash viewer is free...
Actually, look here It talks quite a bit about Nasdaq overseeing the OTCBB...

And for you, about:blank works just fine. For me, i can afford to wait a second for google to load; i use google groups and images a lot...

I use google as my home page for a few reasons, but the main one is size; I hate waiting for my browser, and I'm notinto about:blank.
Google's 1.9kb. A9 is 20kb. Doesn't sound like much, but Google just loads faster because of it.
Roger Wilco's pretty poular though amongst gamers...
Ooops :)

I've heard it so very often referred to the Nasdaq OTC board, so naturally I assumed it was true
Thing is, When you're moved off Nasdaq for not meeting their standards, that's probably where you'll end up. (or under chapter 11)
They key, IMHO to a revolution in instant messaging over chat will be when PeeCees start shipping standard with microphones...
Most end users I know don't have a mic, so that's why text-based chat's so huge.
The only people who have mics are nerds who use voice chat over online games.
Hehehe - happened to a friend of mine too - he wanted an internet connection without cable. He got cable anyway :)
It's traded on the OTCBB, which falls under Nasdaq.

thanks for visiting my site (and commenting again) - up to $160US now... That's really gonna help big time...
(this'll get modded down, but I've got charma to burn)
=D
uhm that's the first option on their menu.

except it doesn't have a google toolbar. I need my google toolbar!!
yes it does
You're partially wrong here. They DO think about what sits between them and the hardware quite a bit.
Yank the windows interface out of a user and ask them to use a Linux desktop and you'll definately get mixed results.
Unfortunately, the OS is the medium to run the apps you want to run. And if that means you can't run Bonzai buddy, J.Q. Public won't take to it.
