I couldn't give a crap about the TV advertising, just go somewhere

ignoring them. But it's hurting their "satisfaction" numbers, because
I make sure they don't get closed, so their defect count just goes up.
Sorry, geek speak. The internal network at work is organized as an
intranet, which means it uses regular Internet technology, like web
servers, to do it's job. So, a bunch of the developers for internal
applications, which I have no choice but use, stupidly specify the font
sizes for text (and other sizes, too) in pixels, instead of in relative
terms, like eM spaces, eN spaces, etc. So, they are extremely hard to
use on "high" resolution systems, like the 1600x1200 systems I use at
work. They keep trying to fob me off with "lower your screen
resolution". Which I won't do, because it dramatically increases my
eyestrain. If they don't watch it, I'll throw the dreaded "ADA" keyword
at them. Maybe EEO, too, as I'm over 40. ;-)
