Welcome to the wonderful world of CSS design, Adam. The CSS Zen Garden is one of my favorite sites on the internet.
I have a daydream of having a submission of mine featured on the website.

On my MSIE 6 (Res 1024x768) the right-hand box, with the address and the opening hours and all, gets pushed below the content.
Just wondering: Did your Mom open up a new practice as a result of what was going on in her previous workplace?

Did you know? In July 2003, Tel Aviv's White City was announced unanimously by the UNESCO council as a World Heritage Site, due to its massive assemblage of the Bauhaus International Style buildings, the city's most precious architectural style. Tel Aviv is home to the largest collection of Bauhaus architecture in the world.
My late grandmother lived in a Bauhaus-style apartment building in Haifa, that was built in the 20's or 30's. We still own the apartment.

Much better. The little girl on the far right has a hideous smile, however.
And, of course, in MSIE the layout looks different than it should. (Sorry)

why do I understand nothing here?
In Latin languages, including French, to express age you use the equivalent verb to "to have".
Instead of saying: "She is six years old" or "She is six", you say, "She has six years."
In fact, in French and probably most latin languages (hence, probably coming from latin), we must have been saying "I have 19 years (of experience in life)", hence our expression. On the other hand, probably English (this is true about Japanese as well) states that one is old "of some years". Hence, Latin concentrated on what we had of experience... But this is only a theory.In Hebrew I'd say "אני בן שבע-עשרה שנים" (Transliterated: ani ben shva`-`esreh shanim), which translates literally as "I am the son of seventeen years" or "I am attributed to seventeen years".

Do you have any ad blockers installed on either browser?
-
elle a 16 ans ... you possess the years you have lived so far ... whereas in English you say that you are aged of a certain amount of years ...
Ah, then it's exactly the same as in Spanish.
Le français, que langue jolie!
-
That's bizarre. Is it only on your browser?
Crazy brainstorm: Maybe you have a Firefox extension that blocks ads, and uses standard banner sizes as a guideline.

Anyone else agree with me that (american) society is going down the drane?
Disagree. There's something great about the USA that you just can't find anywhere else; This may be my subjective perception, only having been in the USA on vacation, but there's something refreshing about being free to do practically whatever you want, something beautiful about being able to succeed by yourself relatively unhindered by beaurocracy and taxes.

If Turkey is admitted to the union, it would provide a whole new answer to the question "who is a European", and, I might add, it would set a precedent that IMHO would allow Israel to join if it chose to.
I don't have a definite opinion on the subject but I am nevertheless intrigued.

I can't play any instrument and I admire those who can.

We learnt in Biology about a lake that was formed near the mountain after the 1980 eruption and the kind of ecosystem that was developed there. It's all very interesting.
-
Sure it's all great fun, but how does one get any work done?
Answer: That blogging etc. does not get work done is not necessarily bad. Work is not the only value in life.
-
Imagine your audience in their underwear, convince yourself they're all absolutely dying to hear what you have to say, and just talk like you would to a friend of yours. Relax, what's the worst thing that could happen?
-
I speak four languages but unfortunately French is not one of them. I'd love to learn it someday, though.

The first one is too blurry. Blur is fine, but you need to add something sharp in the foreground or else the viewer gets tired of looking at blurry things very quickly.
-
My Bio project is about alellopathy in Eichornia crassipes, and it's about as exciting as watching paint dry.
-
Well dr. koschützki, my mom, is a dentist.
Add lots of smiling people with sparkling-white teeth.
-
It's a little on the plain side. What kind of service does Dr. Koschuetzki provide? Give some visual clues.
-
Today I observed the Yom Kippur fast, not insomuch for religious reasons but for tradition's sake. I came to the synagogue both today and yesterday for the same reason, plus for the anthropological experience.
-
I'd like to see a time system based on 10's like the metric system; What's so great about the metric system is that counting with 10's makes the numbers much easier to crunch using a decimal numeral system, and it is intuitive to most cultures in the world because most humans have 10 fingers. (Then again, there are hunter-gatherer cultures that count with two or three bases, e.g. 5 would be rendered something like "two-three", but I guess you can't make everyone happy).
I don't know whether applying metric time measurements is practical, though. Most likely it would have to be tied to astronomical events to make it easier to track without technological apparati.

What year is it in Melville, Yiuel?
-
Happy new year. Though in America new years day dosn't happen for another couple months.
Thank you, Uppy, but in Israel we use both the Jewish calendar and the calendar most of the rest of the world, including the USA, uses (called the Gregorian calendar). So there's no need for the heads-up

But usually, people tend to respect not to smoke in non-smokers area (at least in France ... and in the UK ...).
I hope you get to travel to more countries, Curufinwe. Not only will you have fun and learn a lot, you'll realize how much the concept of courtesy varies from culture to culture; In Israel a lot of people just don't care about smoking in closed spaces when it really disturbs non-smokers.

Bienvenido! Glad to hear you're so enthusiastic about joining the team. Building an RTS as complex as 0AD is no easy task and there's definitely plenty of work to go around. Maybe you should PM Jason or Stu (known on these forums respectively as Wijitmaker and Acumen) and you could look for the areas where you could best contribute.
I added you to my MSN contact list. I hope I can practice my Spanish with you!
0AD's engine is written in C++, written/compiled on VC++ 6 and later versions. The scripts are all in Javascript. (Here's hoping none of this was confidential)
