“I was watching a story on the local news tonight that got me going. This woman was told by her manager of the building that she was living at that her service dog had to go because it was too big. The dog isn't certified yet, but it's going through training right now, which means that the laws...”

would count. The dog is used to help the woman out because she has issues with her legs. This just irks me to no end. He's getting certified, yet they want to kick the lady out. The lady is going to court, because she needs the dog. She's lived in this building for four years and this is the first time the manager has said anything. I hope the woman wins. - Molly, the Merry Maker
Typical negative busy body bureaucratic interference. Government needs to butt out of people's lives. - Ian May
Exactly, Ian! Feed us with food stamps, house us in publicly paid housing, provide for our children we can not afford, educate us, provide for all of our medical needs, give us trains and buses to use, come and rescue us from any and all disasters, and then butt out of our lives... My point is, the less you rely on the government for your basic needs the better your chances of them butting out... - Mark VandenBerg
I'd love to not have to rely on the government, but it's hard to find a job. I'm disabled and get SSD. - Molly, the Merry Maker
I've never had any issue, with Government in a civilized country helping the lame. The issue I do have is that unfortunately the lazy try and jump on the same train. - Ian May
I know what you mean, Ian. I used to work in a government building and I saw some interesting people trying to get money from social services. I always wonder if some people are on welfare how they can afford stuff like cell phones and cable TV? I get help with stuff from my Mom (like she helps me out with telephone and DSL), but she offered to do so. If she didn't, I would still have dial-up and probably no phone. - Molly, the Merry Maker
I agree with that 100% Ian. Those who need some help should have help available. But if you think about it, we expect the government to have in depth scrutiny in any company that it now financially supports; why shouldn't the government have the same scrutiny of an individual in the same situation? - Mark VandenBerg
Means testing? My late Grandmother told me that when she claimed assistance back around 1930 something, a government official came to the house, and told her what she would have to sell first out of her personal possessions before she would get any help. I'm not suggesting a return to that, but remember there is really no such thing as Government money. Government doesn't have any money of it's own, it's what it forcibly takes from its citizens in the name of taxation. - Ian May
No, that didn't work then and it sure wouldn't work now. But all the same, it goes back to what my (and I assume many) father told me: If you live under my roof, you live by my rules. - Mark VandenBerg
It's true we all have to live under the rules of the country we live in. However, whoever is running the show still takes too much money and wastes far too much money in the process of redistributing it. It's the 'waste' part that particularly irks me. - Ian May
The waste issue? You mean, like, if you need a dollar and I give you a dollar, you get a dollar, but if you need a dollar and I give the government a dollar to give to you, you get 39 cents? That kind of waste? Because if we all just helped each other, we wouldn't need to government to do it... - Mark VandenBerg

“I hate Internet explorer. Why does my navigation menu render 20 pixels farther to the right than in firefox?”
Wednesday at 5:16 pm - Link
Because IE is ASS (and the stupid box model bug) - Leather Donut
Does anybody know a work around for this? Maybe some magical trick that would convert all copies of IE7 to firefox instantaneously? That would really be the best solution. - Aaron Hood
Try this. http://code.google.com/p/ie7-j... It did not work too well for me though. - Leather Donut
IE is major suckage, like most MS garbage - Ian May
I've had my share of IE problems while developing. but to be fair, all browsers have idiosyncrasies - all of them. worst case scenario, target IE with CSS. - jbrotherlove

I used to take great delight in telling particularly obnoxious people that they'd just missed the last bus/train etc, while they'd been standing telling me what a POS I am, because the company I worked for had upset them in some way. I could be SO polite, with such a sincere smile.... oh, and have a nice day, Sir! - Ian May

“Hey celebs on Twitter - you suck! I like your shows but I realize that I don't actually like the real you. I'll stick to watching your characters. Kthxbai.”
Wednesday at 1:25 pm - Link
I guess it's a comment about celebs in general not necessarily just on twitter. It's always disappointing that they are nothing like what you expect them to be in real life. I think Twitter and if any are on FF provide them another avenue to be even more "Look at me, Look at me" and get their love and admiration through the numbers of people following them but you never see them actually participate with any two-way conversations! Wait - maybe I have the wrong idea about Twitter? :-) - Flippity
Not all celbs on Twitter are like this. I have John Cleese and Stephen Fry on my Twitter (they are the real deal) and they aren't annoying. Stephen Fry posts a lot, but he is very intelligent. - Molly, the Merry Maker
I'll have to follow Stephen Fry. I used to follow John Cleese but his posts seemed mostly about promoting his blog from the tweets that I saw. Yeah I guess I have also generalised a little by saying this about all celebs on Twitter - it's actually down to only the ones that I have seen. - Flippity
I see you don't use twitter? Wanted to send you a hello! - orionstarr
I do but use a different handle :) - Flippity
I dont get the fascination with celebs. They are just people on TV and more money than you. - Leather Donut
