Sorry, cash in person only.


But I'd need a T-72 to transport all that cash!


I've started noticing different a's recently in typography since it was pointed out to me that people with dyslexia and people with lower literacy skills struggle with the "upright" style lowercase A (as show in this font and a lot of other popular fonts) as opposed to the "italic" style lowercase A that most people hand write.


Why is the italic lower case A so different from bold and regular lower case A for Clear Sans? The italic version matches better the @ used as well.


You're right, the italic a is like from a completely different typeface, wow. I kind of like it better, and since it's under an open-source license, I might make a version with this version as the general one.


There's some discussion on the RFCs and mailing lists about creating new backwards-incompatible OO APIs for the core libraries which would eventually replace some of the legacy mess.


Can you link the RFC's/Threads? When you're not familiar with the PHP dev ecosystem it can be hard to find the meaningful stuff.


I think this is the way to go about it. And if earlier versions want those kinds of APIs they can implement them in packages.


Shame this isn't an unbiased/independent report.


It's a combination of laziness, ignorance and a reluctance to migrate/fix legacy code.


I already successfully use this method between my work laptop (Windows 7) and my home laptop (Ubuntu 11.04) and haven't run into any problems yet!


Is no-one else worried about these TOS applying to their email attachments?

you give Google (and those we work with) a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content. The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones. This license continues even if you stop using our Services (for example, for a business listing you have added to Google Maps).

EDIT: I guess it's a moot point if you're already using Gmail.


IMO it's kind of hard to pronounce (-tsch is not common in English) and remember how to spell.
