    I didn't know that this zoo inventory software existed. I found it rather quickly by searching for "software zoo inventory". On Google, even. Not a single ad was needed.

    Maybe it's just me, but it looks like the AC meant the SMS system currently used in the USA, not the SMS system invented by the USA.

    WP5:Linux#325825456 Would reference the 5th link given on revision 325825456 of the Linux article on Wikipedia.

    So that's not reply number 5 to post number 325825456 on the WordPress Linux forum?

    That's the one that bugs me the most. If I make a post and somebody responds to me with more information, especially a good argument for why I am wrong with evidence to back it up, then I want to be able to mod them Informative. As it stands now, I have to hope that someone else comes along who did not know the information and is willing to spend a modpoint on it.

  13. Re:Almost a Good idea on Google Street View Wants You to Direct New Tricycle Imager · · Score: 2, Informative
    It's Google's "20 percent time".

    We offer our engineers “20-percent time” so that they’re free to work on what they’re really passionate about. Google Suggest, AdSense for Content and Orkut are among the many products of this perk.

  14. Re:Outdated? on The Sad State of the Mobile Web · · Score: 1

    I have it turned on, I think it has to do with the fact that the sites I need it for the most have authentication dialog boxes not a website form. Thanks for the double tap tip. I would give you a mod point, but I can't.

  15. Re:Outdated? on The Sad State of the Mobile Web · · Score: 1

    Just to make you feel better... I do have an iphone and the web browser isn't all that. If the page has more than a paragraph on it, it gets shrunk down so tiny, you can't read it. You can zoom in, but then you have to scroll back and forth and all over the place to read it. Clicks take a while to register sometimes and I hate that it doesn't save my login information, even though there was an update that was supposed to allow this and there is a button to log in automatically. There is plenty wrong with it. However, I am surprised that I am able to log in to my university's Blackboard system with it.

    Sure thing, users NEVER get popup warnings about being infected and promptly ignore them... Unless they are really from the virus itself and are asking for credit card information.

    Yes, I have issues with all the morons who cut me off and run red lights because they are staring at their phones instead of driving. Maybe it is just a local thing, but red light running and roaming into adjacent lanes is becoming very common and leads to road rage in myself and everyone around me.

    I have a better idea for you. Put the damn shit down. I don't care what kind of "emergency" you are having at work. Your business can wait the 30 minutes for you to get home. If not, you need to rethink your business processes. I don't care who you are or what company you work for, your stupid fucking text message is NOT worth more than anyone's life.

    If you or anyone else who is too self-centered and self-important to stay off the fucking phone for a few minutes while you drive ever plow into anyone, you better not hope it's me. I will haunt your fucking dumb ass for the rest of your life. I will torture you and your family until you are all on the brink of madness. Then your family will watch you commit suicide right in front of their eyes by shoving that fucking phone into your eye socket and pulling it out of your throat.

    I hate you all, you fucking phone drivers. Get off your fucking phones and out of my damn lane. YOU are the reason that it is such hell to drive now. YOU are the reason there are so many wrecks and red light running. YOU are the reason that so many lives are lost and everyone's insurance is so high. Hang the fuck up.
