The "best" way? A clean, dry microfiber cloth. Wipe gently from the inside out using straight lines. A 1:1 isopropyl alcohol:water mixture or glass cleaner (like the Windex you mention) are okay. Use a soft, cotton cloth and wipe gently from the inside out. Straight lines. Never use paper products.

My favourite artist: Jorane, her singing and music writing abilities are beyond compare. IMO. And her album art is directed by her, iirc, and it is haunting. YouTube her, you won't be disappointed. More specific: Music: (After Jorane) Enya, always great. Occasionally brilliant. Actress: Whoopi Golberg, I don't know why here. Just because I guess. Actor: Freddie Highmore, so cute and an incredible boy. I have to agree, Johnny Depp is a close second, dreamy and what an actor!

Swine flu is dangerous and strange in that it affects healthy, younger people. It can be very dangerous, but it generally mild. Since it is a virus, there is no cure-all. Antivirals can be given to the patient, usually with a moderate success rate. With treatment at a hospital one should not die of Influenza A H1N1, and he did not. However it doesn't mean that one cannot die. People have died in the United States from it, and many more in Mexico. Also, many people in developed countries die from other types of Influenza every year. Influenza is never a joke and it can always kill.

-pokes Adam- Glad you're okay. (Welcome to GA, by the way.)

<3 Logan Lerman I'm so glad he got a new role. This movie is a must-see for him even if you don't seem interested in the movie. The kid is a god. Uhh...in the movie and out.

I have no such error with Opera 10 Beta 2. The new Opera Unite version that was just released (the second one) is not stable and Opera clearly points this out. If you are not relying on Unite already I suggest Opera 10 Beta 2, it is more stable than Beta 1 or Unite 1 and the new JavaScript engine (Karaken?) is much better.

I'm glad he is doing well Johnny! Sometimes parents don't know how to act even if they love their child very much. If you aren't familiar with them then getting upset with them is not fair to them. Focus that emotion on Adam, but in a positive way. -hugs-

Presently I am running Symbian S60, and I <3 it. Yeah, yeah, I know it is for smartphones but that s what I'm on right now. My PC at home is WinVista64 home extended or some mouthful like that. I hate how it operates, but I've never had it crash so I cannot complain too much. I do have issues with my wi-fi but I think that might be some HP useless software. I've always wanted to try SUSE Linux, but I've never had the balls to. I tries once on an old PC, but it didn't have enough RAM to run the OS! Anyone have any comments on Chrome OS? I'm sick of Google at this point.v

I would play Eric from "Untouchable" by Comicality. I don't want to play a superhero in a fantasy world. That's not real enough. What Eric goes through is real, it is difficult. No free pass, everything won't always go right. As I have never written a full story, I don't really have a character of my own that I would play. *shrug* Maybe one day.

You can always vote your own post up one if someone votes it down unjustly...Is that one gonna stay, voting your own post up?

I'm glad you had fun! Since it was such a blast then I guess we don't need this consolatory champagne... /me tosses champagne over shoulder and it shatters. Thanks for the hard work guys, even thought it was so fun!

Ok, to inject a little honesty... I've always liked to bottom. Like, not love. However, I have had...issues...topping. I think I just haven't found the right person for either one yet. So honestly, I cannot answer. *shrug* And Lacey, we all know your preference... *whistles*

Actually I have had the opposite experience. I tried to blog on my.opera, but I lost interest. I only posted 3 or 4 times. I can't really explain why I didn't like it. I was excited that I would be able to express myself as me as well as my opinions while not have to worry about who I offended. I just got bored. Blogging isn't for me. I am glad you enjoy it though, although, honestly, I cannot foresee ever reading your blog. I don't read blogs. Sorry.

~ 73,206,000 USD (assuming no taxes like you said) (all approximations) $200,000 for school. Give or take... $30,000 Tricked out Mazdaspeed3 with custom paint... $1000/mo rent in downtown Anywhere. $300/mo two parking spots downtown Anywhere $30,000 Toyota Tacoma for my dad $30,000 Toyota Camry for my mom $45,000 Audi A6 for my sister $20,000 Toyota Corolla for my brother $6,000 Snowmobile for me (w/trailer) $30,000 Honda CRV with a hitch for the snowmobile $200,000 for my sister's uni $100,000 for my brother's uni $100,000 for my cousin H's uni (his parents probably wont let me, but I will try) $100,000 for my cousin G's uni (her parents probably wont let me, but I will try) $30,000,000 in investments and bank accounts, yay interest, but I will still work. I'll live off my paychecks and interest. $50,000 shopping spree, clothes $20,000 furnishings for apartment $100,000 to local Big Brothers Big Sisters Am I anywhere close yet? Probably not. I'd make sizable donations to children's organizations like Make A Wish, children's hospitals, etc. and some to shelters and other organizations in the area. Probably in the amount of $30,000,000. That leaves me about $10,000,000 as a cushion. I would probably buy another car with that, but I don't know what. Maybe a VW Jetta TDI fully loaded or a Volvo of sorts. Something a little luxury, but nothing rediculous. A little cottage up near cousins H and G; that would set me back a million or two in itself, and be a place to store my snowmobile. The rest I guess would go to more investments. I'd pick some of my investments myself, but I'd have to have a financial advisor as that is a lot of money. A trip around the world is also in the cards. I have people I want to visit in Poland, UK, Brazil, and I always wanted to see Praha and Moscow and Tokyo and Bodo (Norway). Oh, and Iceland! But a world trip would barely dent $10 million -- I wouldn't stay at the Ritz, just normal, reasonable hotels. I would not hire staff to wait on me, I would not hire anyone to do anything I am capable of doing. I would not leave or spoil my friends. I might invest in a friend's pool hall idea, but that would be it really. Once I finish school that $30,000,000's interest would be tested. I would adopt at least two kids and only work part time so I could take care of them. They'd be older kids too, not infants. College for them, clothes, food, lessons, private school (not a boarding school), kids are expensive. I hope I make a lot of money in interest and whatnot. Not that I would spoil them, of course, but they would never need anything. It would mean a house too. Oh, I would pay for all of GA's hosting and stuff. But everyone expected that.

I think that was cute. ^.^ Obviously not really from the 50's though.

Base prices: Audi A4: $31,000 Lexus IS: $31,305 Infiniti G: 33,250 BMW 3-Series: $33,600 Lexus ES 350: $34,470 Source: autos.msn.com side by side comparison. 2009 models used. Base Prices: Lexus GS: $45,000 Audi A6: $45,100 BMW 5-Series: $45,800 Source: autos.msn.com side by side comparison. 2009 models used. You lose. Audi A4 is cheaper than the Lexus IS and the ES 350 (the comparable models). I'm not saying the Lexus is overpriced, it is a well built car. I'm just saying the Audi A4 is more of a value in that bracket. Prices are basically equal for the GS/A6/5-series level as well. Nice playing. ^.^

I mostly agree with DF. Toyota and Lexus are both boring. They are good cars, well built. Reliable (well, Toyota has had a few issues with some models lately). But boring to look at, and not a great thrill to drive. Scion is...strange. Where I live they are midlife crisis cars. I worked in a drive-thru for 3 years and I never saw anyone younger than 30 driving one, yet they are targeted at a young audience. I don't really like their appearance anyway. My dad keeps going "Buy a Toyota." I don't want a Toyota; I'm 21, I want something exciting. When I'm 30? When I have my first kid? Sure, I'll consider a Toyota. Until then I'll look at something more exciting, like Mazda.

I was just experimenting. Kevin said he has 3 FF with 12 tabs each open sometimes. I just wanted to have one more reason Opera rocks. I succeeded.

I have had no problems with Opera 10 and Vista. I do feel your pain on Java though. However, I believe this is because of Karaken, the new Java rendering engine and should be fixed by 10 stable. Kevin: I had 80 tabs open in one Opera window, and it gives a little preview of the page when you hover over the tab. Perfect for whatever it is you do with 60 tabs open at once. Jus' sayin'...

Okay okay, get ready to laugh. I drive a 1996 Isuzu Rodeo. It guzzles gas, burns oil, polutes like a chain smoker, but it runs. Mostly. AND it is the 2wd version. At least it has leather so it doesn't smell. I'm saving up for a down payment on a mazda3 next summer, maybe even a mazdaspeed3 if I save enough, I just hope my Isuzu survives another winter. If forced to buy a car sooner rather than later, the suzuki sx4 is a cute little guy and affordable too (not to mention reliable). My dream car? Oh, I don't know. Right now it is the mazdaspeed, but that's just a dream. I wont be able to save up enough money for one. *shrug*
