You made my evening with that comment. All three paragraphs. I would upvote you twice if I could but alas. The 2nd para definitely made me chuckle. I could clearly visualise a flushed individual muttering "ich haben eins, und ich brauchen k

After the double take/uneasy giggle at the choice of word to describe women (in the 1920s), I looked at the article. One main difference that stands out for me is that the type of behaviour patterns described by the OP above (booze, grind,

Not related to the article, but if people are interested in the "economics" and "sociological" aspect of gangs and other illegal activites, the book "Gang Leader for a day" is a very compelling read. Check your library. (EDIT: I ended up l

Just wanted to say. Thank you for supporting Opera too. It simply looks nice to have inclusive development taking place in the web.

Please don't get me wrong or take it the wrong way, But I just can't seem to get over the fact that you are obviously not a Linux person (you seem to have strong preferences and by the looks of it, you know well that you are very much a Mac

In software, there are a lot of people who don't know how to negotiate-- at all. I've seen that. But I've also seen some very very hard negotiators in software as well. So, I don't agree with your generalisation. It's something else, bu

No, you are not alone. And I am sad to miffed at lack of support for Opera too. There was a jquery fundamentals website that had the same problem. To compound matters, Chrome font rendering is godawfully bad on my machine.
