Is it just me, or isn't it obvious why the probability changes? All you are doing is adding more parameters to what you are trying to actually determine. The most basic question you can do (not in this question, but overall) is simply: What is the odds of a child being a girl or boy. That's theoretically 50/50. Now, each other question is subtly altering the grouping of what you are trying to determine the probability. It's just that english (or probably any language) obscures the fact that you are making those other elements important. The real trick of these is the fact that language is vague, and most people are missing that you are making necessary additions to the group you are trying to determine information about. You are in fact not just asking about the sex of the other child, but you are building a situation that makes the information about the date, or the order of the children, important. If the importance of those other elements disappears, then they are not bounding boxes to the situation and the results fall back to 50/50.

Someone else has picked up on the part of Magento I noticed immediately. it looks like the idea of it was to make it so complicated to mod and theme that only internal sales (i.e. they themselves) or other dedicated companies (which the developers would provide a store front for) could really do anything with the code. I tried it out, and when I couldn't, in a reasonable timeframe, figure out how to add a few static pages and make basic theme edits--I knew it wasn't for me. Reminds me of the PhpNuke days when it was a pain to do anything even remotely outside of the plain vanilla set up.

This is such a useless issue to worry about. Jailbreak your phone and get PDAnet or one of the other programs that will do this. Yes, business users can't probably do this, but individuals can. It's not that hard.

While he's not dead in it, this comic explains where Clippy is now and adds in an Indiana Jones joke to go along with it: http://www.onezumi.com/oni/html/modules.php?name=copperminecomic&file=displayimage&album=1&pos=403

Hey off topic: How the heck do you get a url in your sig file linkable? Every time I try to add a href into the form it simply drops it when the form is submitted (and yes it's proper html). I can't find any "bbcode" like info anywhere on this--or is this some kind of bug? I see tons of people with linked sig files so it's not a case where it's not allowed. Am I missing something?

The most obvious way for the game makers to get rid of the used sales market is to make downloadable versions of their games affordable (or just make them available at all!). If I had the choice of buying a new boxed game for $60 or a downloadable one for $30 I'd easily buy the downloadable one, even if I knew it wouldn't be resellable. This plays into "The right cost" thing that many other people here mentioned as the reason they resell their games. $60 is just too high for a (probable) one time playthrough of a game so they resell it to recoup some of the cost of the next game. Why does it seem though that the many people that do sell downloadable games price them the same as the boxed version though? Absolutely stupid and dissuades me from buying that version. Obviously the cost for distribution is nearly zilch, plus no media, instructions, whatever....
