Re: Computer Help?
I've never found any way to get internet access again except to restart my computer. There must be a better way, does anyone know of one?
Have you tried right-clicking the network icon? On XP it gives me the option to 'Repair', which will save you having to type ipconfig commands, I'd be surprised if they took that functionality out.

Re: The Pound Sign
I'm not seeing the difference
I'm guessing it depends how your browser is set up to display HTML entity #163
To me, it displays the libra symbol (the British monetary symbol, the stylized 'L') but I'm guessing others will see the Hash symbol. It displays what it thinks the 'pound sign' means to you. '#' {hash} is the pound sign for some, for others it is '' {Libra}

Re: The Pound Sign
I just see two libras in the part i quoted
Same here.
quote:
instead of using the pound sign ''; they use this funny Polish letter: ''.
If you 'peek' you will see caffeine used HTML entity #163. Clearly, for you and I, that gets interpreted as '', the libra.
When he refers to "the pound sign" is he supposedly referring to one of these things: #
Yes, some cultures call '#' the 'pound sign', and to reflect this the HTML entity for 'pound sign' is displayed as '#'. To us the 'pound sign' entity is displayed the libra.
Maybe, for caffeine, the 'pound sign' is displayed as a 'funny Polish letter'.

Re: The Pound Sign
To me, the libra looks like a funny capital L with a line through it. I don't see the differnece between the libra and the first letter in that Polish city.
Łdź
It's HTML entity #321
The libra is a stylized letter 'L' with a horizontal line through it. The one in the city name is a normal looking L with a slanted line through it.
