My 80 year old mom is still quite active and travels a lot. She'd really like a portable GPS that she could use in her own car but also transfer to rentals. Anyone have suggestions? Keep in mind that she's 80.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

I tried my Mom on a TomTom which would announce next turns and street names, but she found it way too confusing and nervous-making. Yes, she was afraid of upsetting the voice....

TomTom has a feature where you can download alternate voices from their website. Maybe she just needed someone a little more understanding?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That annoying CSS refresh issue I was trying to fix for b.org a while back doesn't exist in google chrome. Hmmph.

More CSS questioning. If I have a list setup like this:
t ul class="class_list"
t li class="class_item"
List item
t /li
t /ul
How do I, in CSS, specify ::before, say, for the list item? It took me a million years to work out a way to specify a generic
t li
in this instance (ul.class_list li::before), but I keep breaking things trying to style the more complicated example.

ul.class_list li.class_item:before {...}
Should work. Also: according to this IE8 is not good with double colons. So I would recommend sticking with single colons for the standard selectors.

Thanks! I could have sworn I tried that. Probably something very similar. There's the rub.
Did you get the email I sent you?

Yes. Just in case the response got stuck in a spamfilter: You may use my css-file as you please. It is however Firefox 3 specific (for the rounded corners anyway) since I saw no reason for cross-browser coding.
