Any different to turning off an iphone?


Probably not. It's all still new for me. I only got an iPod a few years ago, so jumping on iPads while they're still relatively new - though quite a mature platform - is a change for me!

58% of all food grown in the UK is within 5m of sealevel. Not good if climate change is real.

My suspicions that everyone involved with football are in fact morons were somewhat confirmed today when a friend put this on his Facebook page:

I hate comic sans with a vengeance but the practice manager at work insists on using it for two reasons: it looks "friendly" and it's dyslexia-friendly.

I'm curious as to what makes it dyslexia friendly. Is it because it's very rounded?

I'm not sure, but there have been lots of studies and articles over the years which suggest that Comic Sans is dyslexia friendly.

I have it myself and I'm mildly dyslexic, but I have more problems reading Comic Sans than many other fonts.

So far as I'm aware it's because it's irregular - i.e that the verticals aren't always at the same angle and so on.

It's the 'a' character. It's written the same way you'd write it yourself

That the guy who did the voice for Jon Irenicus in Baldur's Gate 2 is the same guy who played Evil in Time Bandits.
