@Cerberus Well, I admit I have done the same if short on time or brainpower, particularly if it seemed better than an even more incomprehensible alternative. I think it's more often half-understood than half-read. I read very fast (in English at least), but comprehension, well, it depends on caffeine levels...
To be honest, my first thought is never to up-vote, but whether or not it is eligible for a down-vote, once that is ruled out then decide if it is good enough for an up-vote.
@Cerberus Clearly you are in the movie version of EL&U. Everyone knows movie-watchers need to have the obvious explained to them, just in case the poor dears get confused.
The term macroevolution is often abused (see the section "Misuse" in the Wikipedia article) by creationists who are referencing the Biblical concept of immutable "kinds" of animals.
Is there a word or conveniently short phrase that could be employed to distinguish between evolution (both micro a...
I was thinking about creating a separate room for us to discuss that game. Except that it will suck out all the life out of this room. All that will be left will be Robusto complaining about CSS and Martha's niece's pictures.
@JSBangs I not so secretly want to play the game based on all the talk here, but don't have time plus it's blocked by my work's draconian internet filter.
@aedia Firebug is available for Chrome. I agree the validation tools and web developer toolbar are useful, and I have FF installed (at work) with those, but only firing it up very occasionally since I truly find that the validation is so easily navigated to.
@JSBangs Well, part of my criteria. But it's such a basic thing that it basically becomes a show-stopper on its own. (I cannot possibly recommend it to my father, for example: I've finally trained him to always do a print preview instead of wasting reams of paper. [Training him to not print at all is a pipedream at this point.])
@Martha ah, well, parents are a different matter. i print things so rarely that i couldn't imagine requiring print preview as a feature, but i can understand it in your situation
@Vitaly Strike is very powerful; 3 attack is good; 5 hp is OK. It is not a top card, but probably very good at your level (no offense). Try it, use it.
@aedia It is absolutely intuitive. I keep doing it on other people's computer and feeling like my leg inexplicably dropped off.
@MrDisappointment I am awaiting your riposte...
And this was just one extension. And did I mention that you can use it to automatically save any picture in four different folders (or get a dialogue) by dragging it in each direction?
@aedia You will love it. I somehow foisted it upon my technically inept friend, and she says she is using it all the time and can't live without it any more.
(Not implying that you were technically inept... on the contrary!)
I know what you mean about missing a limb when you switch computers. I normally have a left-handed setup for work and a right-handed setup for gaming (also because my better half gets confused when I move the home mouses around) but it takes a good five or ten minutes to switch.
@Cerberus I have some weird ambidextrous habits so it's not bad, really, but at work it drives me bonkers if I have to use some terminal server that won't retain my mouse preferences and I've got two monitors differently-handed. I don't even know how to say that, it drives me so bonkers.
Right. After last night's marathon I promised myself an early night. I think on the whole that's now a middling evening, but all the same, I'm off home.
@Cerberus Turns out I've got 3.6 here still (as I don't control that, but somehow I'm allowed to install addons, not sure how that works but I'm not arguing) so current version works. And I'll try the other on my (ff 5 I think?) at home. I am so excited.
I don't think I've ever been so excited about a browser extension since I had some other gesture thing years ago that was beautiful but not fast. It let you draw big swoopy gestures, like letters or numbers, almost, and it would recognize them, like for Back or Homepage or something, I think.
@aedia Yes, those are mouse gestures. I am totally and utterly hooked on them. You can get them for FF, or for your whole PC. Somehow not many people are enthusiastic about them, which I find very puzzling.
@Cerberus Thanks for the suggestion anyway. I use one of my computers at home from the couch (its monitor is the tv)... so I can see potential already for mouse gestures while I'm too lazy to reach for the keyboard.
@Kit Hehe. I knew you'd understand. It was pretty funny reading that, your "possible duplicate: <quote title>".
@MrDisappointment Right, clicking on a menu... I can do that too... but that requires rudimentary coordination: your mouse needs to move and stop at a specific speed for a specific distance. Much less convenient. Furthermore, what if you want to search it in a background tab? What if you want to save a picture? Search something on Ebay?
@Kit Any particular reason? They're not great but not a terrible quick reference. Faster than my dead tree ones for most stuff. And more understandable than actual W3C specs.
@aedia Yes, true, but usually not what I'm looking for presented in such a way as to convince me that if I just looked a little longer, I could find what I needed.
@Vitaly I meant, yes, I believe so, because "mission 24 and higher" generally includes mission 24 on that wiki. I don't remember which mission I used to do it myself, though. I'd do 24 if that one's easy for you.
@Cerberus I accept your points, and ultimately that the video was pretty useless in comparison to everyday usage; I personally don't need such tools (at least not all of the time) and find keyword shortcuts and mouse gestures work fast enough. I'm all for productivity but shaving time of stuff like that just isn't effective IMO. Every man to his own, though.
I did that achievement much later, when I had finished all the missions. Perhaps it will be easier later on? Besides, that card you win isn't fantastic any way... I never use it.
Perhaps if you get on to mission 29 and use this deck there? I really wouldn't have any idea on how effective various decks will be in various missions, hard to judge...
What is the structure of Yoda's sentences? Are they grammatically correct (US english)?
"Size matters not, ... Look at me. Judge me by size, do you?"
"Try not. Do or do not, there is no try."
"Always in motion is the future."
"Help you I can, yes."
FYI: Yoda is the most famou...

Other existing answers are not helping me as I am looking for a book with extensive exercises or quizzes.
I need the grammatical analysis of the sentence.
What is Yoda's speech called? Is there a particular name for it (such as "dangling...")?
