Jon, how are you liking Opera Mini? The touchscreen functionality is dodgy on mine, but I was surprised to discover mousing.
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I haven't used been using a browser that much -- so far it's been mostly gmail, facebook, mapping and various photo apps. What do you mean by mousing?

I have a pointer arrow. The screen works for scrolling, but only sometimes for clicking on links. Then I hit my...trackball thingy, and got a pointer on the screen, which I've never seen on another app.
I'm using it right now because I'm logged in to a bunch of stuff on Dolphin. It's irritating because the text corrections don't work in it, so I have to do my own capitalisation and punctuation. Very fiddly.

Ahh, my tracking thingie doesn't work very well, so I hadn't used it. But I just tried and, yeah, pointer arrow! How odd.
I'll download Dolphin and try that out for awhile.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No, it's not the place. You need to pursue that sort of hacking on the down low, not here on the board.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Obviously that could be rewritten to get rid of the YK3 issue, but here's a place where SQL could use a built-in variable for positive infinity, like some languages do.
I'd program it for 12/31/9999, because I'm a very strange man...

I have apparently managed to boot my 400MHZ G4 box to boot on a hard drive with Leopard installed.
To quote that old mainframe song "Do It Yourself:"
...it crashes every hour, and it isn't worth a damn,
But I'm satisfied because it runs just like an IBM!
