Hey, Waddayaknow? I noticed that the file name contained the word "medium", so I tried just exchanging it for "large", and voila:
Larger version[^] 
I also tried "xlarge" and "extralarge", but with no result...

fyi: you can change "medium" in the url to "large" and see a larger picture: [^].
Just guessed this might work, and tried it.

- Sometimes road signs are placed after the junctions they relate to - to tell you what you have missed.
- You can only leave the pub after a number of rounds that is a prime number and also a binomial of two primes. If you don't get out very early this becomes messy.
- At both Mass and school it is really important to stay as close to the back of the room as possible in case you accidentally learn something.
- It is possible to have a meal with three different styles of potato (roast + boiled + chips for example)
- A good speaker of Irish can go a whole day without using the same word twice. An expert speaker can go their whole life without any repetition.
- No matter what job you have or how long you have lived in the city, when the turf needs footing you go home to lend a hand.

Quote: Sometimes road signs are placed after the junctions they relate to - to tell you what you have missed.
A U.S. comedian from the 1970's once commented that road signs should be on the back side of overpasses in reverse lettering so you could use the rear view to see what you just missed.
A wise idea. to Ireland.

I work with an Irish guy and having a conversation with him is exhausting because he uses so many words, almost all of them superfluous, that you have to concentrate so hard to make sure you don't miss the important bits.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

No, you leave after your round. In theory.
The Irish Round is protected by the Republic's Constitution and any infraction is, AFAIK, punishable by going out for a Guinness.
The system works as follows. On arriving at a bar the first man is in the chair and stands for anyone who walks in until someone who he's stood needs a refresher. Then the chair is passed and ya new man stands for everyone once in the chair.
If someone stands you, you stand for them. This might mean taking a few short cuts [Paddys, Jamesons, ya Bush] to get ahead to take the chair. Unless the chair says feckit and stands the sides and the stouts.
Novices can get caught by the system as once they've taken the chair and stood for all, they think they're clear. However, ya man's just stood for eighteen man and he'd be total langer to leave with out letting them all stand for him. Then the problem starts that as they've stood for him, he must stand for them.
It is not unusual for a round to carry on past closing time and be restarted the next day. Ferfecks, death doesn't even get you out of the obligation. The only difference between an Irish wedding and a funeral is that there's one less drunk at the funeral.

It's not a joke!
Before my parents got married, ma's da took me da out for a glass before lunch and they got back just in time for the Sunday Roast. Problem was they went out on Saturday.
When he, my grandfather, died the wake was four days. You read it well, four days. Ma's baby brother had open house from the day before the funeral for all to pay their respects. Ladies had tea and sandwiches in the kitchen and men had whiskeys and more whiskeys in the sitting room. The day of the funeral was begun with a wet breakfast and a stiffener at the pub before the service. It was damned cold so they had a short on the way back from the cemetery and then the wake began.

In looking at the business side of my software efforts, it's obvious that I need to trabsition from selling software to a subscription based system. To do that I need to generate a license file for each customer and ghsve thesoftware check to see if the license is valid before running.
Does anyone know of a reasonable system for doing that?

We are using Sentinel LDK for that, not as a SaaSoftware, but as a standalone usb (and software)license dongles.
LDK support SaaS (Sentinel Cloud Licensing); if we decide to do SaaS, we should be able to do it with minimum effort.
I do not know if it is reasonable for you and your business ($$$), but it works for us.
I'd rather be phishing!

I've toyed with Activatar[^] before. It works quite well, and is open-source.
There are various others, such as InstallKey[^].
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

No problem. Activatar is quite powerful, and is quite easy to work with. If you want multiple use product keys, it shouldn't be too hard to extend the library to support that.
