Isn't there some place where these meetings can be arranged? Italy is a bit out of my way, but I'd be quite interested in one in The Netherlands, and I suspect others would be interested in a meeting near them.

Yeah, sure. I wasn't trying to discard that point. But I do think a number like that should be sourced. Otherwise, stick to something like "a lot" or "non-trivial demographic".

Where did you get that number?

This is why start-ups are so exceptionally cool. Get your SO when you're poor, so you know they love you for you. Then hit it big and be rich without a gold digger. (Details left blank as an excercise for the reader, BTW. ;-))

Yeah, it's pretty good. pngout is good too. But I found some really good compression with pngnq. It's lossy, but can help you with some larger optimisations. I had an image that pngout got to 218K (221K for optipng). pngnq chopped that thin

Thank you for the explanation. It's somewhat ironic that there is an "it should be easy to spot" kind of rule, but not an equivalent "it should be easy to comprehend". In theory it could be printed in a 2cm font and be completely unreadable

I feel torn about this. On the one hand I use The Pirate Bay for my own pleasure sometimes and I'm disappointed that the makers have been ruled to encourage illegal activity with it. On the other hand, last night I read this: http://jeff-v

You see, I don't get it. Contracts specify a deal between two or more entities. If these entities disagree on a matter, they can go to court. The court can decide the matter based on terms in the contract. If the contract is not in legalese

No, why would I be? I am a programmer. You can call it a "developer" or words like that, but to me that sounds like title inflation.

I've experimented a bit. Interesting enough I couldn't get Firefox to work with Flash at all. Silly. I've "downgraded" to the 32-bit version of Flash 10 (the one installed by the Ubuntu package), it had the same results for both Firefox and

Opera 9, Linux. I use the (experimental) Flash 10 64-bits plugin, so it's probably something to do with that (although I used to have similar problems and crashes to boot with Flash 9 voor 32-bits systems). I'll try with Firefox just to be
