I see from the patent that it took 15 "inventors" to come up with the idea of the rectangle.
Sounds like there might be a "how many Apple employees does it take to change a light bulb" joke there somewhere...

Seriously how can the patent office be taken seriously if it passes things like this?

Won't they get in trouble with Miocrosoft because of this?
Class: CGDIRoundRect
Class that draws a rounded rectangle, using Windows API GDI calls.
A rounded rectangle is a region whose location is determined by the Left, Top, Right and Bottom properties of this class. The angles of the corners of the rectangle are always drawn at 90 degrees. The corners of the rectangle are rounded off based on the value of the Height and Width properties. The routines in this class allow you to draw the rounded rectangle by calling the Windows API RoundRect function.
Pretty sure GDI is older than the iPad.

Get on with your work, and stop slacking!
I'm just about to get Fish n Chips (with obligatory cider) And then will probably move on to a wine or two befor finishing off with a voddy (due to an unfortunate absence of tonic)

I do, tapped the keg and bottled it. Less and less people are turning up so that means more for me.

The small taste at The Beer Factory was great, the bottles are now in the freezer getting good and cold. I'm currently drinking some crap the bloke behind the counter gave me to try.
I initially asked him to connect one of their kegs up so I could fill my remaining bottles (I offered to pay, though last year the other bloke wouldn't take any cash) he reckoned he didn't have any. So the couple of bottles were compensation.

Someone gave me one of those tiny home brew kits for my birthday - finally got around to making it a couple of weeks ago - bloody nice stuff. Unfortunately it all went in an afternoon!

I got a Coopers Home Brew kit for my 40th birthday. It's my 44th next Friday and it still sits in the Garage unopened.

If you think the area over the kidneys tickles, wait till you have a chest piece done. I'm two thirds through a custom Odin, Hugin, Munin, Geri and Freki and both the sternum and collar bone areas do more than tickle. The bruises that came up on my collar bones, (from my 3 hour session last Friday), just seem to have faded away now...

I do know what you mean about the chest though, I have a samurai on the right side and smoke, flowers and a dragon over the collarbone, shoulder and shoulderblade. Just love that feeling of the needles on bone!

Sore at the end as there's a lot of black coverage in there which makes it somewhat akin to raw meat after 4 hours, (I sat for 5 in total that day), but other than that not so bad.
The left leg is designed as a full leg 'sleeve' with the Dragon Koi leaping, a tiger going down my thigh, (head toward the Koi), with cherry blossom and lotus, but I've been putting my next session on that off a bit as it'll be getting that lotus done on and around my kneecap and I just know that is going to sting!
The chest piece is booked in to be finished on 30th of this month as there's only the filling of Geri, Freki, Hugin, Munin and any spots we want to tidy left. That was my 40th birthday present to me as it should be healed for the day, (mid December).
After that, tidy and finish up the right lower leg pieces, (hopefully by March/April time), then back to my left leg... busy, busy, busy!

Few days ago I was installing a photo printing software (freeware) on my machine and during installation I noticed that it was asking for installing Babylon toolbar (The piece of crap that highjack your search engines in browsers) so I deselected it as I knew how nasty it is to remove later. Even though I asked not to install it it ended up on my system and infected IE/FF/Crome/Registry . Took me a while to get rid of it.
I think the people / company who wrote this piece of crap should be prosecuted. There may be millions of not so savvy users who fall pray to this nasty crapware/hijacker.
