Ah. You might want to give go SMS a try anyway then. Trust me the quick reply is a pretty awesome feature. I finally found a client that offers it for Google voice texts and I'm in love.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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

Is there a free Microsoft Publisher program that I can dl and then access a document made with it with the official Publisher? I clicked a link that said it was free, and then it asked me for a registry key, so I don't know what the heck is going on.
I want to make a mock up of a brochure, but might need to do it at home. Just a simple three fold on a standard 8.5x11 that I edit further at work.

Hey. New board.
A quick search for "opensource page layout" found this: [link] and apparently they have a new publisher importer as of May 22. Probably not a complete solution but might do what you need. I may need to check it out myself!

Any CSS experts around? I'm trying to optimize a site for mobile, and I just realized that my @media calls aren't working in IE8. Google tells me IE8 doesn't support @media--of course--but even the javascript file I found that's supposed to fix that (css3-mediaqueries.js) isn't helping. Does anyone know of any other possible fixes before I have to resort to an IE specific stylesheet?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Using <!--[if IE 8]> is actually less kludgy than the alternatives.

Phoo, I was afraid of that. I hate maintaining the same data in multiple places.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
OTOH, what mobile devices use IE LTE 8? None. Depending on what changes you need to make (and whether you're building mobile-first or desktop-first), it may be safe to serve IE8 the normal stylesheet; it won't see your queries at all, but there are no mobile devices that need to.

Yeah, that's what I'm figuring. It's still very annoying, though.

SO annoying.
One other thought -- if you don't want to maintain a separate IE stylesheet, you can still use the conditional comment approach to add a class to your html or body element, then use that as a hook for styling it in your main stylesheet -- something like
t !--[if IE 8]
t html class="ie
t ![endif]--
t !--[if !(IE 7) | !(IE 8) ]
t !--
t html
