Re: Anyone else...

Yup, also isn't "Geodesy" specific to the rock we're currently on? I know Geology becomes Selenology when applied to the moon, so Mardesy perhaps?

Re: Hot swapping batteries

Just install a petrol-powered generator at the petrol station...

Re: Re: Re: HOW?

Exactly! My email address is x@x.gg (for non-x values of x, obviously), and it seems half the website contact forms out there won't accept it.

They do, of course, accept invalid@email.address, and I put my real address in the comment. Or just boycott them for reasons of technical ineptitude.

More worryingly...

They appear to be using an admin user to access the database on that website:

SQLSTATE[42000] [1203] User admin_matthew already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections

They also lock you into a 20-year (IIRC) contract, which will make it harder to sell your house if you intend to move during that time.

And if you google for "chrome web store"...

...this message serves as the summary in the search results:

"Sorry, we don't support your browser just yet. You'll need Google Chrome to install apps, extensions and themes.Download Google Chrome."

Guess they didn't add their spider to the list of supported browsers...

Thumb Up

I love ads

Well, I hardly ever see them (various FF plugins), but if I do have to see the buggers I'd rather they were about things that interest me rather than cialis and that ilk.

Sometimes maybe I would actually be interested in a new canoe paddle, if it's a good deal at the right price :)

It's democracy!

Just not as we know it, Jim.

Nice rant

Keep it up!
