It is in arabic. Just go to the website mentioned and it sends you to "home-ar.php". Site is too slow to tell me what the heck it is selling.

RE: When 1024x768 is too much (bringing back the fullscreen thread)
Fun fact! PAL has less bandwidth than NTSC (run the numbers). NTSC also stopped requiring manual colour correction not too long after the magic of "solid state" televisions came out. PAL televisions for several decades after that were STILL causing me migraine headaches with that horrid 50 Hz flicker. Anyone who has used a CRT based PC will agree with me, even 60 Hz is too little. Now imagine the hell that is 50 Hz.
I will give one thing to you, though, teletext kicked ass. :)

RE: Are you clickier than a 4th grader?
That was fun. According to the test I'm 29. The testers also don't seem to know about trackballs. I don't know if that made the test harder or easier for me (I'm going to say harder--although I scored under my actual age, LOL!). :) Hey, works in FF.

RE: So I just took a few placement tests for my worthless Computer Science major
There's two types of tradesman, one who loudly decries a union, and a union member.

RE: So I just took a few placement tests for my worthless Computer Science major
LOL,when I took Computer Programmer / Analyst at the local college (like a technical institute) a solid 1/4 of the classes were for Accounting and another good amount were for Economics Statistics. We chatted with the "real" CPA (Certified Professional Accountant) and they said we'd only need about 1 year of courses and we'd be able to get certified as a real accountant.
That course also taught us COBOL and RPG (the language, not game). And no, it wasn't in 1970. It was just 1 decade ago. Just one of the many reasons why I rarely consider education the main contributor to success on the job--rather, I like to know what skills you have.

RE: Computers need what now? Eh, we'll let the taxpayers foot the bill in a few years, I'm getting a promotion out of this dump anyway.

I was nearly expelled once for booting a machine from a LiveCD; it was the only way to get work done, as the machines were so heavily infected with viruses and malware.
The average school IT department isn't going to understand the difference between an operating system and a web browser, let alone the difference between installing versus booting an OS. So, the point is moot, unless you can theme it to look enough like the "approved" software to fool them. Oh, and be sure to still reboot every few minutes, otherwise they'll think you planted the viruses.
I received a lifetime computer ban about 15 years ago (to be lifted if I apologized) because I found Visual Basic on the network and uesd it in the library instead of in the computer lab. I refused to apologize and (as diplomatically as is possible for a 16 year old) told the CS teacher to stuff it. My parents were awesome. They bought me a laptop. To this day I am still not permitted to use the computers at that school. Didn't really care, though, and none of the shop teachers gave a rats ass either. They let me set up and maintain their classroom PCs up on a completely separate network during lunch for the next couple of years (I assume to the chagrin of the CS teacher that originally banned me). I was even considered for a summer job at the school, but summer school (math fail) made it unworkable. Oh well!

Because, ya know, normally children do inherit whatever property their parents have.
Of course. I'm assuming the guy writing the book got the publisher to give him a free copy, which he'll leave to his kids. Duh.

You seem to be confused about the difference between a good and a service.
I take it you don't understand how book publishing works.

So if I spend 20 years working on the Great American Novel and then die, my children shouldn't get a single red cent? Yeah, that's real sensible. Although, I do tend to agree the term for copyright has been extended too long.
Yup. My dad worked 40 years as one of the world's best plumbers and when he dies I won't get getting any plumbing money. If you spend 20 years working on that novel and die the day it is published, that's life. Why should your children make money for nothing?
