Locally our two sets of drivers are the aforementioned BMW's and red pickup trucks (any make/model). The pickups like snagging you with their right-hand rear view mirror. I don't know why color makes a difference.

In the UK the cycling nemesis du jour is the Audi AKA, "The Four Ring Circus". Audis seem to attract a particularly stupid and careless class* of driver that might previously have driven a Beemer.
*Yes, there are sensible and careful Audi drivers, but they do seem to be a _very_ small minority.

Whatever happened to just sticking your hand out of the window? People these days tend to take it as an insult.

Well... if you are driving on the right side of the road, in the inner lane and stick your hand out the left window to indicate you are merging right, who's gonna see it?

It is the extended middle finger that causes the insult!

No, that is accepted, providing the four fingers are together. It's when you use just two and separate them that the trouble starts.

ok, it's both a pun and a joke...
But seriously, don't robot do that, not people?

I'm a bit over the Consolas font I've been suing using for coding and I was wondering what everyone else is using for their code font.

Cosmix.org's Droid Sans Mono Slashed is the one I prefer.

I've been using Source Code Pro[^] for a couple of years.
I'd rather be phishing!

I just went through the Adobe rigmarole to test out this "Source Code Pro" font. You have to have their application running to use the "free" font! I have tested it and it is just not good enough, "Consolas" gives me a better editing environment and I don't have to sign up for endless junk-mail and a monitoring program to use it. I have uninstalled it but their is no mechanism to close or delete my "account" with Adobe. Also when I tried to unsubscribe from their emails it said "page not found" once I clicked the unsubscribe button.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Don't worry; they're not totally incompetent.
Their spam servers work perfectly.

Thanks, that was a lot simpler. I still prefer Consolas though!

Odd, I tried it and didn't like it as much. Might be worth revisiting.

Every so often I think "I'll ask the guys in the Lounge. They are so sensible and mature"
And then it takes me several months of amnesia for that thought to find its way back into my head.

But they have good memories. Here is another movie quote:
You make a place for things... things come.
Which movie?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Use a narrow font:
1. saves space,
2. uses up less pixels (so screen lasts longer)
3. and with the code being shorter easier to understand when looking back at it years later
But seriously, maintaining a few [on-]sites (and some off sites) I just stick with defaults, VS pro at home and 2010 on some client sites for quick rebuilds, farting about with fonts settings is off the table.
Sin tack ear lol
