M&G's Spell Checker is Racist
M&G's spelling faux pas' turn racist ;-)
Ha Ha! I know how easily this happens, but it's quite funny to see it happen ;-)
FireFox's inline spell checking has saved me many times from a similar fate of broadcasting my blunders to 1000's!I just encountered a weird problem which took a while to sort out, so I thought I would share.
If you are using symbolic links to ZIP files on your server, they will download fine in Firefox but not Internet Explorer (IE) if you are using GZip compression in Apache (mod_deflate). To fix this, turn off compression for ZIP files (which should not need to be compressed further anyway) by adding the following line to your Apache configuration file(s) in the appropriate location:# Don't compress ZIP files
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(?:zip)$ no-gzip dont-vary
That will stop ZIP files from being GZipped and help IE to not fall over itself...
Hope this saves you some time.
Every time I login to Telkom's eServices site to get my phone bill, I am met by this smiling face, which is in an of itself a pleasant sight, but I am constantly perplexed as to what gender the figure in the photo is!
At first glance, they look male... but then... I look again and the fair complexion, short spiky hair and hint of pierced ears give one pause for thought... it could easily be a female with short hair...I then vacillate between the genders until eventually I give up and log in so that I can stop thinking about it! What gender do you think this person is?Afterthought:
ABSA's latest warning on their Internet Banking homepage takes Internet security perhaps a touch too far! :-D
Three hospitals in Gauteng renamed - Mail & Guardian Online: The smart news source
- M&G Online
F*ck you very much, Brian Hlongwa!
F*ck you for wasting the tax payers money on something this stupid!
F*ck you for complicating the names of these 3 hospitals!
F*ck you for the ludicrous "clean break from the past" that these name changes represent! (Please explain how Johannesburg Academic, Pretoria Academic and Coronation have anything to do with the past?!?!)
F*ck you for not hearing the DA's objections!
F*ck you for alluding that people who would object to these name changes are not of sound mind!
F*ck you for stealing air from the intelligent people in this world!
You incompetent, money-wasting a$$hole!!
Telkom says fixed-line business faces challenges
- M&G
Finally! Telkom's profits drop and the company is starting to feel some heat from competition!
It has taken far, far too long, but I am ever so glad that Telkom is being forced to start up their game and actually start delivering decent service at a decent price to an economically ravaged public.
Tito hints at huge hike
- IOL
No more, Tito! No more!
South Africans (and indeed the world) are reeling in the face of economic hardship and I agree with Oelschig that raising interest rates will only worsen the situation and not improve it!
Tito (and the monetary policy committee) are looking at the picture in South Africa without taking into account the bigger picture of world economics.
I truly doubt that anything, anyone does will overly change their minds, but I hope to God that the rate only goes up by a max of 100 basis points!
