    I think the weight may vary depending on the cost of production/risk but it gets sold at the same price. The idea of paying $10.50 for something like that due to inflation does see…

    I still don't see how this is any more useful than just using the default auto-complete with your standard country list. The data I've measured shows that selecting your country is…

    I thought that's how it works everywhere? I'm from NZ, you must take English and Maths up until a certain age, otherwise just pick your other four subjects and enjoy.

    Yep! Started a new job on Monday with a fresh install of IE 6. I couldn't believe it, I'm now working at one of the companies where ie6 is forced upon all staff, even the web dev t…

    I like the ideas of getting up early to do work, I might try that. I'm usually either really tired afterwork so just chill out then sleep, or I'm pumped up and work until the wee h…
