Comment on Another day, another cluestick by Aleta

I love things to be in order and organized, so I appreciate that. One of my good friends is a Librarian and she's passionate about her job. Her face lights up and she could go on and on about the things available with the library. It's not just about books :)

I don't drink coffee, but I love the smell of it. It's a nice compliment to the smell of books :)

Zachary Weston was a great friend of mine. I was recently thinking of him and googled his name, this came up. It's too bad you didn't find him, he would have made you smile.

Comment on Background transparency in CSS by Marco

hmm okay:
.box-div is surrounding the other two divs

.bgtrans is an empty div inside .box-div

.text-div is inside .box-div and contains the text

that did it for me. maybe there is a solution for the dynamic height in ie6?!?

CSS:
.box {
overflow: hidden;
height: auto !important;
height: 100px; /* height has to be specified here for IE6 */
}
.bgtrans {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
display: block;
height: 10000px;
width: 10000px;
background-color: lime;
opacity: 0.5;
-moz-opacity: 0.5;
-khtml-opacity: 0.5;
filter:alpha(opacity=50);
z-index: 1;
}
.text {
float: left;
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
}

HTML:

blabla

Amazingly, you cannot buy alcohol at all in Oregon except at a state licensed Liquor Store -- and not on Sundays. If you are buying at a grocery store then you are buying beer or wine only.

Sorry for your tarnished Eugene experience, come back again sometime for a better visit!

Comment on Strangest user-agent I’ve ever seen by Stewart

My guess is that many of these weird user-agent strings come from either random home-made programs or browsers that let you put whatever you want as the UA.

I have no idea! The checker might simply be wrong, or there might be an exception for parents with their own children. (I expect the problem case is a group of college-age kids where only one is over 21 and buying alcohol for a bunch of friends.)

If you're concerned, you should check out the laws and regulations yourself rather than going by my second-hand report from a supermarket checker!

so does that mean you can't buy alcohol accompanied by children? I ask because most of my alcohol buying takes place during our grocery shop, on which the children accompany me. I can imagine that for a single parent such a law might get very annoying!

Not just a level, a level and a plumb bob.

This could revolutionize the personal beauty and hair maintenance industry.
