   My apologies for the confusion, then. It's also in the fine print (1.E.2.)... I feel like deleting my entry to avoid the noise. What to do? Downvote away, folks! Edit: As an aside, PG could copyright their digitization of public-domain

    In a country in which people only want boys, every family continues to have children until they have a boy. If they have a girl, they have another child. If they have a boy, they stop. What is the proportion of boys to girls in

    I won't bother to look up the current number: 5,000 is scarry enough, but I stand corrected. On the other hand, do you have a reference to a list of similar menacing national symbols?

    OK, but as long as the directory structure remains the same, #2 would also work. Why do you prefer #3? (Again, just curious.)

    CSS3 is not HTML5 and that fact is not debatable at W3C. I don't understand: the ongoing efforts seem to be centralized at http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/current-work

    Conceptually, why do all options involve a server? If I somehow can securely "tunnel" to my server, I first have to tunnel through the WiFi hotspot, right? Am I not free to browse, safely, after securing this first step? (Sorry for the vagu
