OK, not really a tech question, but does anyone know what the default font for Facebook is? I'm trying to mock up a couple fake facebook pages.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Raq, I took a look at Facebook and the short answer is "it depends". They have about 14 stylesheets on their page and the only font-family property I found in them was:
'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif
Which means the site will use the first one of those it finds on your computer, in order, left to right. On my computer, it looks like arial to me, but they're all pretty similar.
Hope that helps.

Aha! Thanks! I tried Tahoma, verdana, and arial, but not lucida grande. That's it.

What is up with Google today? They are suddenly saying every single web site, including Buffistas, will harm your computer, and they won't take you directly to any web site (you can cut and paste the URL). They supposedly have a diagnostic page about what's wrong with the site your going to, but when you go to it there's always a server error.

It looked like that for me for awhile, but seems to be working normally now.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Frank, I had the same issue. So, I went to go find out more information...using the Google search bar in my browser.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Working on mine like it used to. Weird glitch. I wonder if somebody hacked them?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Financially there's no reason to keep our land line. We could save $100 a month if we bundle cable, internet and phone together. But I'm afraid that as soon as I ditch the land line there will be an emergency where I'll need it. What do you guys think?
