Next they'll be asking us if pictures of our homes are okay.

"Dire affect"? Like someone's expression is really serious or something?

Best Browser For Using Complex Web Applications? 347

yanyan writes "I'm fairly new to the field of web application development. Currently I'm working on a big online ticketing system for passage and freight for a local shipping company. It's a one-man show and the system is written in Ruby and uses Rails. Aside from the requisite functionality of creating bookings the system must also print reports and tickets, and this is where I've discovered (the hard way) that most, if not all, browsers fall short. I've had to switch from Firefox 3.6.3 to Opera 10.53 because of a major printing bug in Firefox, but the latest stable Opera is also giving me its own share of problems. To complicate things, an earlier version of Opera (10.10) doesn't appear to have 10.53's printing problems, but I'm wary. What browsers and specific versions do you end up deploying for use with big, complex web apps that include printing? Also consider CSS accuracy and consistency."

I'm reminded of the saying, "Do stateways change folkways or do folkways change stateways?" This is probably a bastardization of the quote, whose author is now lost to me, but there ya go.

Any chocolate variety - the regular chocolate or the Men's. I don't like fruity, almondy...etc.

Why Does the US Have a Civil Space Program? 308

Posted by timothy on Wednesday January 07, 2009 @06:00PM from the why-indeed? dept.

BDew writes "The Presidents of the National Academy of Science and the National Academy of Engineering have commissioned a study on the Rationale and Goals of the US Civil Space Program. In short, the Academies are asking why the nation has a civil space program (including human, robotic, commercial, and personal spaceflight). The study is intended to provide a strategic framework for the nation's activities in space that can provide consistent guidance in an increasingly interconnected world. The members of the study committee are interested in the views (positive or negative) of the general public, particularly those people with a scientific and/or technological interest."
