The federal agency didn't know it because the state uses a two-digit code to indicate year of birth. boggle (On second thought, maybe that was his handiwork to begin with...)

Post #391,775 by malraux 7/10/14 9:30:38 AM Reply	Ah, missed satire. Love that smell... ;-) What I was getting at: how many people actually use an honest-to-goodness dialup ISP these days as opposed to cable or suchlike... Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
Post #391,786 by folkert 7/10/14 12:21:38 PM Reply	yeah... I'm completely... in "read/do what ever, not read 'tween the lines" mode last few weeks... (months now probably) I'm missing a lot (most) of satire and sarcasm... except when spoken to me.

Post #391,819 by Ashton 7/11/14 6:21:39 AM Reply	Not Σ[-] though: white-on-dark can rest eyes, switching periodically (but not the Luddite-saturated colors chosen by the Glass-eye.) Doubtless there are some scienterrific studies.. as, re some marathon read/following a procrastination. Worked for me, but haven't experimented lately--via Safari. Good reminder, this trip in the Tardis to yesteryear. 'Course too, the default teensy-font for THIS screed cough is a decided eye/brain-killer, necessitating [cmd +], dim-down and settle for bigger-but-uglier (unless I were to play in the Style-sheet sandbox--but that would be too logical. But now it's on the list.) All I know fersure is, white bkg. in Real Books, is fine--but Illuminated.. it's rilly Sucky; then there're the places with sl.-darker-grey/over-grey, Ya only go there once--the highlight-all trick?== worse-yet.) Grumble/grumble ... sloth kills.
