Here in Canada, a full 80% of purchases made in-person are done using Debit, using the Interac system. Our bank (TD Canada Trust) limits Debit transactions to $500/day. We have run across this limit a few times, but fortunately going to the bank and getting the cash from a teller (Not an ATM, they count towards the…

I used to have il-messages.co.uk. I'd then hand out personalised addresses like "amazon-em@il-messages.co.uk" or "ebay-em@il-messages.co.uk". I also had 250v.ac, but I allowed that one to lapse as the $200 annual renewal fee was far too steep for an address I rarely used.

This game is a sequel to the original, American McGee's Alice, which in itself was a spiritual sequel to the books, and was extremely dark and twisted. I would recommend you play the original Alice (I believe it's on GOG, or available in a discount bin or torrent site near you) to get an idea of where this game is…

Play the original. That, too, was set as a sequel, though in that case to the books. This trailer is for the sequel, and it still rocks!

Widescreen, you say? Can do! [userstyles.org]

Actually, I think this article was "Posted" on gawker.com, and the other sites copied the article, leaving it (and it's comments) on the original site.

Again, the site still doesn't make any use of a widescreen display, thereby making the site really quite poor. Using the Stylish extension I've modified the CSS a little (updated for the new "fixes"), and (finally) posted it on userstyles.org. It's available here: [userstyles.org]

There are no frames on the site. It's one fixed-position element (The right-hand bar) over the page, using AJAX to update it and/or the site.

So, basically, a collection of shots of "teasmade"s? I don't normally say things like this, but these things were popular in the '70's and '80's in the UK (Where they were invented), and then died out. So how, precisely, is this news in any way, shape or form? And also, wasn't this posted about a month ago?

I hear you. Which is why I made a nice little userstyle for the site. You'll need Stylish installed (Or, IIRC, there's a way to do it with Greasemonkey). Then you can use the style at [pastebin.com] It makes Gawker sites look like the image here attached.

I found the article. Thanks Stylish and AdBlock!

Is it just me, or did that "Hair" look more like a strip of paper with a clip at the end?

@dboudwin: Personally, I use a rechargable Wahl electric trimmer, but then I have a beard and 'tasche. When I did electric shave, I found I got razor burn with both kinds unless I used a pre-electric lotion. I have very coarse facial hair, that grows in every direction, so I found using a Philips rotary, and using a…

On the initial pan you can see several suspicious-looking clumps of "grass" that are MUCH taller than the others, and at 0:10, you can see at least 2 of them move. So, yes, Ghille suit lv1 has been mastered.

@demarcmj: Windows 2000 was awesome. After the abortion that was WinME, MS said to themselves "Crap! what can we do? This thing is next to useless, and going nowhere." Then they noticed the work the NT team had been doing (Windows 2000) and said "Yes! Put a teletubby interface on it, call it Windows XP, and we'll be…

@muyoso: You should never, EVER pull the cord to remove a plug.

@Omar Beach: The On/Off switch is a standard part on all (well, 99% of) UK wall sockets, so you can disconnect devices when not in use while not having to unplug them (And have nasty stepping-on-metal-prongs-in-the-middle-of-the-night experiences). And UK plugs and sockets are considerably larger than their US…

If you're moving, it's also possible that you moved from a tower that has capacity to one that doesn't. In that case, again, call dropped.

@Mocha_Joe: And besides. Concord flew over the land as well as the Atlantic. It had to get from London Heathrow to New York JFK. How do they think it got from the Irish coast to London? Beaming?
