People who think they're being clever by overriding my font choices tend to get ignored by me unless it's to apply a -1, Pretentious and Self-Serving. And I've mod points today. Just sayin'...

Seriously, quit trying to do the I'm A Special Snowflake Pretending I'm Using A Retro-Trendy IBM Selectric And Everyone Else Must Participate In My Little Fantasy thing and let your message speak for itself.

Linky?

Cheers.

I see we've had a visit from someone with mod points and without a sarcasm detector. Sorry about that, AC.

Dammit, kids, some of us have to get up in the morning and go to work.

Any more noise from the basement and I'm coming down there to knock your heads together.

Aren't you happy to know that you're not flaming some fake Zontar?

You fly into a Malaysian airport with dope--that's trafficking. Better hope you can bribe the hangman well enough that he actually makes the rope long enough to break your neck.

But don't take my word for it--try it yourself with a small amount and let us know how that works out for you.

Right, because you were in the cabin with him all that time.

The rumours weren't transmitted more or less instantly all over town, and it had to be done by voice (face-to-face), written note, or landline telephone, all three of which communication methods were much more likely to be overheard or intercepted by parents/teachers.

He's got 1 whole digit more than you. You've 2 more than someone else I know.

You can put the e-peen away now.

Nice try, but the captain has been flying commercial jets since the early 1980s, according to the BBC.

So, no, it hasn't, not really.

I guess it's because I left the States before mobiles really took off, but it wasn't until a trip back a couple of years ago that I started to understand the situation--the telcos have done a very good job of enforcing an integrated-vertical/everything-as-a-service model there.

But that's not how it works here (Stockholm). I do happen to have a subscription, basically because it's more convenient and I get a free phone every 2 years for signing up again. But it is entirely possible for you to get a late-model phone made by any of the major manufacturers and working service without talking to anyone at a telco. You can walk into just about any big electronics retailer like MediaMarkt or ElGiganten (or even some of the smaller outfits like TeknikMagasinet or Kjell&Co), buy whatever phone you like, then stop off at the Pressbyrån or 7-11 next to the T-bana station on your way home from the shop and buy a prepaid SIM for it. And I've friends who do just that.

You showed him how to close, but not how to resize or to minimise?

You'll find it on buses and trains in a lot of European cities.

But not in Stockholm, which I think is a bit odd.

OTOH, cheap plans with ample mobile data are readily available here, and even if you can't always get 3G the bandwidth is still pretty good, even in the subway--they apparently have repeaters installed in the tunnels.

Merely claiming "A is just like B" does not a valid analogy make.
