Or, a much quicker version: "six and two threes".

Yeah, that one's been around a while. Only real way to mitigate it is JS (jquery has a nice $(window).resize() function - though it doesn't seem to work in some version of Safari).

I believe I read that theory in one of Paul Davies' books - I'll have to go dig 'em out now :)

Thanks to the EU and its various treaties, the word 'queen' doesn't mean anything anymore. She may still be referred to as such, but she is now a citizen just like the rest of us: http://archbishop-cranmer.blogspot.com/2008/06/royal-assent-of-treaty-of-lisbon.html

Mod up please. Natural people (human beings) are not 'people' in the legal sense. Legally, a 'person' is an entity that can have rights and responsibilities ascribed to it (as far as I understand, imagine the slave trade, slaves weren't 'people' - they had no rights - though I may be wrong).

Also, a human being cannot do business with legal fiction (a coporation) so your 'Person' (a legal entity created upon certification of birth) is there for that reason. A strawman used to enter into the commercial world.

Everything's a company of some description; countries, states, ministries, councils. The entire subject is a pretty eye-opening rabbit hole.

For Windows versions, the current 'release' version of Opera (9.64) is 5.4MB. The beta (10.00b1) is 6.6MB. Firefox 3.0.11 is 7MB.

Concise and spot on.

Is this to the tune of 'O Caaaanada'?

Indeed; the 'Great British Apethy'. I'm not far behind you..!

If they're doing what? I'm not sure I follow...

Well, to be fair, your Treo was just an example you gave. Do you use Firefox, NoScript and Cookiesafe on your Treo?
