  3. Re:When I Worked For People With A Clue... on Equipment Suppliers You Can Trust? · · Score: 1

    I did the same sometimes years ago, but just with bus-drivers. Mostly they did it for free; i always gave them at least a chocolate bar :-).

    Don't know, whether it is still possible today, but it was the fastest (and cheapest) way how to get small things from one end of country to another within hours.

  4. Re:rest of the article on Cash Pours in for Student with $1 Million Web Idea · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You are right, sir. I can't imagine to drive daily almost an hour there and back by car in rainy / stormy weather or sitting like a duck in a traffic jam. Daily commuting with train and bus takes the same time, is usually cheaper and besides that i can have a quite good breakfast with newspaper in the train. Or i can read some websites or e-mails on my ntbk before i get to work. So why should i buy a car...

  6. Re:Measles? on Microsoft Infected by Virus · · Score: 1

    Well i remember that my mom sent me to neighbors for sleep-over when their kids had measles to get infected too. Of course, she didn't tell me why because i was just five or so, but i remember that i was sick too shortly after the visit. She told me lately that she did it on purpouse, because she got measles when she was 20 and the older you are, the worse are the symptoms.

    There is one more question i would like to ask. Isn't it a dangerous decission to stop being vaccinated against some illnesses just because the occurence of the illness has rapidly declined after a years of compulsory vaccination in some areas? I read in newspapers that for example here in central Europe are quite a lot of occurences of tubercolosis that are caused by immigrants.

  7. Re:This is easy, while paper stays cheap on Sanely Moving from Word to the Web? · · Score: 1

    THIS is not a joke! one of my customers do regularly send emails in JPG. They simply edit the incoming email (add remarks, notations, comments, ...), print them out, scan them and send them back as jpg. I have tried to explain them that they can use the Forward button in email client, but theyre still doing it the old way. After third attempt to teach them how to forward the emails i begun to charge them for every multimegabyte emails i get from them. And guess what, they pay!

  8. Re:Adblock *.svg on Firefox 1.1 Plans Native SVG Support · · Score: 1

    i haven't read TFA nor read the implementation specs of SVG in mozilla, but i assume the code for SVG would be in its own namespace like , so it wont be a problem to write a plugin that replaces any tags from svg namespace.

    Clarke first visited Colombo, Sri Lanka (then called Ceylon) in December 1954 and has lived there since 1956 pursuing an enthusiasm for underwater exploration along that coast and on the Great Barrier Reef. In recent years, he has been largely confined to a wheelchair due to post-polio syndrome, but his output as a writer has continued undiminished.

    No, you are not the only one. But it can be worse. Imagine an infinite number of monkeys with infinite number of nits. Still, there is a solution. Ask Patrick Stewart, he may help you.
