we had a good day today eh toms?

double title failures?

Like I said in the other one, editor was probably making poop. That's okay, everyone does it.

This sounds like you have no clue what you're talking about

@typo lunatics:

Does it REALLY have that much of an impact on you? Get a grip, typos happen and for some reason or other they occasionally are not caught. Want some cookies for spotting them?

i never update graphics drivers unless something is broken.

this isnt a driver fail, this is chrome not being well made for older drivers.

@Taryth: It's not just a matter of some of us being grammar nazis; when I hadn't even clicked the link and knew it was a Douglas Perry article there is obviously something wrong. I mean, these are paid writers. They could re-read their articles ONCE at least.

Google is simply telling you how to fix a problem that they didn't cause. Since when is it Google's fault that your video drivers are buggy? At least they didn't say we're viewing the page wrong.

how about they just quit putting up flash ads and filling the screen with them. i don't buy a $300 video card for it to run ads in my face!
i should make a script app that changes all the ads to porn or pictures of kittens and puppies. i'd probably have more money then zuckerberg if i did.

When Google designs their software to follow API specs, and the implementation of that spec is broken (ie: a lot of stuff in DirectX), its not their fault. Wine for Linux has a heck of a time with windows DirectX implementations since a lot of them are broken in certain ways they have to try emulating.

How about just coming across as professional and not like some slacker who halfasses everything. It doesn't take that long to proof one's work. Hell, Word would have caught the error above.

To the grammar nazis, due to postings from jane, we know that they have a very limited number of characters to put the title in to. Could it be that they couldn't think of how to reword the title and still have it clear, and since it was only one character too long, they opted to puropsely delete a space as that was the best option given limitations they had to work within? I know I've done the same. I don't know what the limit is, nor am claiming that this is in fact what happened, but I am willing to give him the benifit of the doubt, as that was the first thing I thought when I saw the title.

I think there are some people here who only come here to try and complain about grammar and spelling. They made a mistake...is the cursing and caps lock really needed?
