I was unable to get to CODE Project for most of last Saturday morning. I didn't do a lot of troubleshooting, and it very well could have been an issue with my local ISP. Who knows.

I remember this ad, and think it is spot on.
Recently I had one contract end when the company decided to hire a junior programmer to perform the tasks I used to do, to save money I gather. That final line from the ad ran through my mind...

Silly question: I mostly use FBReader on my Android tablet, but it only opens one book at a time. Since I generally have half a dozen or so "on the go" (a couple of fiction, a few technical) I end up with half a dozen different book readers, all of which work differently. I know I can use the "recent books" list in FBReader, but that's clumsy and annoying.
Anyone seen anything "nice" that has multiple books and lets you switch between them without leaving the app?

Always annoys me, the kindle app - I've yet to find a way to load my non-amazon books into it without moving them from the nice, tidy, my author/series/group/book hierarchy they share (and update via FTP) with my NAS. I know I can move / copy them into the Kindle folder on the tablet, but that kinda defeats the purpose of spending all that time tidying them and their names!

You never mentioned OTHER requirements, if you fail to do the specification properly don't complain about the result

Free version is OK, but it's worth paying for PRO.

I've heard a lot of good things about Aldiko's[^] library management features. Never used it myself though; my eInk kindle does everything I need.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

One of the beauties of being a developer is that if something does not work as you'd like, you can always make your own!

prevent him working in the US [^]
After all he has said about the US? It might just be part of his on screen persona, but I really do have the impression he doesn't like the place. However, he could make a heck of a lot of money over there, it wont be the first time a Brit has been tempted by the green back.

What makes me laugh is how so many people are trying to defend his actions by saying it was only a moment of not-quite-perfect behaviour.
If some normal guy that Clarkson had annoyed had split Clarkson's lip, the wannabe upper-class twit would have sued him into oblivion, and subjected him to multiple childish tirades on-air.

Oh and how perfectly calm the other side has been, I doubt there is a pub in the world where such an incident doesn't occur at least once a week.

You mean the whole of Britain is like me local?

Yes, you're quite right.
That makes it perfectly acceptable to smack people in the mouth in the workplace.
I should have thought before I posted.

They didn't buy Antarctica, either, but that was his workplace when he was working there.

but he wasn't working was he, he was attempting to have a late evening meal.
he is a presenter of a car program not a restaurant revue (don't remember any reports of him driving in the hotel)
