Generally the site is good however...
Unfortunately the description of a Christmas cracker(click on the circle over the UK) is fairly inaccurate:
"When you pull the tabs, the tube bursts with a loud snap! Inside are paper hats, toys and candy to enjoy during Christmas night."
I have never seen any sort of food or candy in a cracker and it omits one of the most important items in the cracker which is a piece of paper with a usually terrible joke written on it.

I see an ad for $40 of food at Chimpo's Resturant for $20. 
I see it now. First time visit takes you to a random ad.

I just get a 'Select Your Closest City' page. 
EDIT: Got it to work. Don't know how.

I've had a problem this year with the bookmarks bar "vanishing" from Chrome, and I've assumed it is because Chrome has updated again (it does that so often that I don't notice half the time).
Then suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Chrome "jerk" and a quick look shows the Bookmark bar is gone. Hah! Seen it at last...now, lets just get it back...
...but why hasn't my app built like I asked...by pressing...CTRL+SHIFT+B...for "bookmark" perhaps?
Yep: the VS "Build" key sequence toggles the bookmarks bar in Chrome if I don't look at where I'm sending it.
Wonder how long I've been doing that...all along I assume.

I don't really use the bookmarks bar (in FF or Chrome), I use the bookmarks menu (in FF), and I only use Chrome for testing various web pages I am experimenting on and learning with (I hate JavaScript).

And a very Merry Christmas to you (and all UpsideDown CPians) from me.

They had salad, with foie gras, followed by steak, with mashed potatoes and truffles, and then a chocolate log.
And this was for kids under 10.
Got to laugh at this country, it is nuts, One quesiton though, I wonder if they served the 94 or 96 Lafite with the main course?

Good grief! The Philistines!
Mash with steak? Fries, surely!

Its not even nice mash, the French make it way too runny. Anyway, it should have been dauphinoise.
|
|
|
|
|
Agreed - good mash should be smooth but firm - it has to contain the gravy, after all!

It's a wonder French children don't die of atherosclerosis[^] before they reach puberty.

You never heard then that despite their high fat intake they have very low levels of obesity and cardiovascular disease. Its the French paradox.
Its funny the eay they are bought up here, food really is a important part of their world. Personally I dont much like foie gras, home made chicken liver pate is way nicer, and truffles I really dislike actualy, they just give the dish an overriding flavour of dank mouldy basements.

I have a Samsung Galaxy from AT&T which has been duly unlocked with AT&T provided network code when in US. Currently it is using a BSNL Mobile in India.
1) If this phone is factory reset to clean up the junk in it, would it again lock-itself?
2) If that is the case would the older unlock code can be used again?
3) Even if the older unlock code is applicable, would unlocking be possible from India? I am not sure whether during unlock it would reach the network (and can reach AT&T from India through another operator)

iMac running Win7 via BootCamp. A couple of months ago, I merged some directories and I deleted the one I no longer needed. I can't explain why but every now and then the directory I deleted keeps reappearing! 
I kid not. I've tried deleting it using Shift-Del. I've also deleted it and cleaned the recycle bin. This has happened about four or five times. I've done a complete defrag in the hope that any sectors the directory might have used are hopefully overwritten by other objects. I've never restored it so once deleted it should stay deleted, no?
1. The name of the directory is not Lazarus.
2. I don't do drugs.
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening?
Edit: I should add that the directory contained minidump file I created using C#. There's no media player or other ripped file involved which is what t'internet is pointing at. In short, it's a file I created and has no value to anything on my machine. I'm happy it's not malware or virus related as my machine wears a condom for protection. Really puzzling.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.
