I just came accross this very unusual form for web entertainment which involves your browser.
Requires JS + Flash, and good for a quick laugh, just dont maximise the window when it opens...
LOL, here's something that ive now seen a lot: Why do sooo many Americans say the words "As a taxpayer",Doesn't everyone have to pay taxes or is there exemptions for extraordinarily rich people/politicians?
The only person I can think of off the top of my head is Steve Jobs, but in reality in order to have any such show you would in fact need a team of hard ass experts just to cover all possible areas

It does, but the 1024×1024 icon is actually a 512×512 "@2x" icon for use on high-resolution ("Retina") displays. The reason, apparently, is because on-screen items are measured in points, not pixels, and on a high-res display one point equals two pixels rather than one as on a normal screen.
First... The 1024 x 1024 icon is 1024 x 1024 pixel icon for when you mouseover the 512 x 512 icon in the dock at which point it scales it up to 2x the resolution, hence the naming convention.
Secondly... On-screen items are measured in pixels! NOT points! Points are a printed text measurement ONLY, where 1 point is 1/72 inches. The whole idea that on screen items were measured in points is a major misunderstanding from the web design community (namely the firefox fanboys) from when firefox assumed 12 pts to be 16 pixels (which is correct only at 96dpi, at the time the modal display on a laptop was 1280 x 800 at 15.6 inches which is approx 94 dpi). As web designers were incorrectly using points to descibe on-screen font sizes mozilla decided to hard code in 96 dpi as the assumed dpi rather than do the correct thing by attempting to figure out the actual display dpi (which you cant actually do unless the user or OEM specifies it to the OS).
Why does a subdomain take so long to get?
As regards cost for SSL certs, ever think about moving to a free provider? such as StartSSL? They're fairly well supported by most browsers. even most of the obscure browser (such as those in the TV domain) i use tend to accept them.
EDIT:Doh, just realised I just posted the same info as katana...
What I really found funny is that noone realised that the OP wasn't actually asking a legitimate question, he was attempting to pose SPAM as a question. Re read the OP and notice the link under the question, which completely unrelated to the question.

Well scientists mostly talk about greenhouse gases, unless they mean co2 specifically.
No, scientists used to mostly talk about greenhouse gasses, nowadays it's specifically about CO2 because a direct corelation has been discovered between CO2 levels in the atmostphere and world climate/temperatures of the past. And of course the problem is is that they do not know which is the cause and which is the effect. Whether, high temperatures during normal global warming in the past caused the increase in atmostpheric CO2 levels or increasing CO2 levels caused global warming in the past. Many scientist now believe that known greenhouse gasses have a negligible effect on global temperatures and that CO2 may be the sole contributing factor to global warming. Green house gasses have been put to the side at the moment, as they seem to contribute to other issues that we have more control over, such as ozone depletion, which may be recovered as early as 2075.
Nice story, It's unusual for such a long post in the side bar to be so readable...
But, err, yea, I guess TRWTFTM is that they didn't just migrate to google apps which is free for educational institutes and very liitle hastle to set up...

It might not be relevant any more as the referendum in Ireland has long past, but in my view the Lisbon treaty is a good thing, even if it doesn't go far enough. The major point is that it gives the European Parlaiment a lot more power, at the expense of the councils of ministers. So backroom deals by unclear groups of people get replaced by an open discussion in a body elected by the public.This has nothing to do with which topics the EU has legislative or regulatory power, unlike the earlier "constitution" the Lisbon treaty basically does not change things in this regard. Most of those in the "No" camps confused these two issues, as the transfer of sovereignty of some parts of policy from the member states to the EU is not something there has been any refernda on.
The Lisbon Treaty is the exact same as the earlier "constitution", it is simply refactored with some minor changes. In reality the EU Parliament do not gain any extra powers, all the new powers are given to an EU Commission which is a small group of people not elected by the people but elected buy the individual governments. Only the EU Commission have have power to initiate legislation and as such are the go-to people if you need to lobby/bribe for specific laws. The treaty actually makes it the system much easier to be controlled from the backrooms, where lobbyists, secret services, and who knows what has influences we don't see, particularly since ALL discussions are held behind closed doors and the public do not get to even hear about individual peaces of legislation until a FINAL decision is made by the parliament.

just a temporary measure to stop people using it while the mortar and brickwork all sets and settles inPlease Note: When I said I meant to post this aaaaaaaages ago I meant approx 4-5 months ago... I just never had a camera anytime I was passing. All the apartments with appear to be now occupied so I have to guess that it's been left with a half-assessment job. Someone fucked up and the construction company still managed too sell all the apartments so they can now run off without finishing or should I say correcting the job.
Meant to post this aaaages ago but never had a camera on me whenever passing this WTF. Here's a pic of a pedestrian entrance to a new apartment block near my home. As you can see whoever was installing the railing might have forgotten that an entrance was actually supposed to go there.
