In that case, perhaps you are broken. ;)

Mackieman,

one quick correction, Gecko is NOT iphone browser engine, that is KHTML/AppleWebKit Mobile Safari.

Gecko is the MOZILLA browser engine and in the AppleWebKit ID line it says 'like Gecko' similar to how others have given their 'like' heritage of 'compatibility' in past.

Thank you, Captain Correctness. :rolleyes: ;) :p

Better than a Holiday Inn Express, no doubt.

Not this one. It is fine for what it is, but we will be much happier at the Hyatt later today. We're burning the last of our free nights from the last promo (we got a great extension), so this is our only paid night on this trip. ^

Especially when the original draft of this documentation was written by someone who possessed great talents. Unfortunately, one of those talents was not written communication.

From today's Musings of the Global Traveller:


Rolov asks:

“My biggest dilemma when burning miles now is “How can I route this trip thru Frankfurt so I can pick up a duck and get a Mercedes Benz to drive me to the plane”"

Room at Embassy Suites in West OMA is nice. Having to pay $10 plus tax per day for internet is not, so I have to go down to the first floor for WiFi (where it's free). Jimmy Johns is truly :rolleyes:

Producers of Glee and other "live music" shows: If you're going to have a band on screen looking like they're backing up the singer, don't have the song use completely different instruments than we're seeing.....it insults our intelligence. When I watch a band, the first thing I focus on is the drummer.....if he's not even hitting his drums, if the drums in the song are obviously synthesized and he's "playing" a real kit, or if there's a fill in the song yet he just keeps "playing" the beat, your show is getting turned off!

If you want it to look like real musicians are playing, here's a hint: HIRE REAL MUSICIANS AND LET THEM PLAY! If and of you come to see my band sometime, there may be a bad note here and there and every song won't be perfect but everything you hear will be completely LIVE....that's what real music is about.[/RANT]

I thought that Glee was essentially a parody of High School Musical. I also would not be surprised that the obvious fakery is by design.*


* I don't watch it myself, though my wife insisted that I see the version of Madonna's Vogue that they did the other night.

MCR is MyCokeRewards - every so often they provide the ability to redeem for PriorityClub hotel points. Right now is one of those times.
