In the past, before browsers had the ability to magnify text on the screen, accessible design was done by having a control that could globally adjust the CSS definition of font sizes. I'm wondering whether this is necessary today, given the browsers' abilities to magnify text? I like the browser built-in magnification ability, but on some sites, the this feature doesn't seem to work properly and causes some text to run over other text. What's the current common wisdom on the proper way to make a site accessible to visually impaired people?

I was amazed by the simpe minded and aggresive bashing witnessed 2 weeks ago by Republicans against a free press by the NY Times running an ad by moveon.org.

Fact is, the Times runs almost, every day, an ad espousing various political views. Today, FeedomWatch.Org placed a full page ad criticizing the visit by Iran's President. Will Democrats scream foul? I doubt it.

Republicans, too many, have become scary with their partisan and intimidating methods, it is a disgrace to democracy and a free press.

I'm about to ship four books to different people from bookmooch.com, and I know that media mail is the best service to use, but i was wondering how well they handle it (ex: will it be bent or torn) because my friend told me to just put the books in a large manilla envelope, but I'm afraid it's going to get ruined.

I need to find the defintion and example.

Throw a stone into a lake: water waves move outward from the splash. Clap your hands: sound waves carry the noise all around. Switch on a lamp: light waves illuminate the room Water waves, sound waves, and light waves are very different from one another in important respects, but all have in common the basic properties of wave motion. A wave is a periodic disturbance -- a back and fourth change of some kind (of water height in the case of water waves of air pressure in the case of sound waves, of electric and magnetic fields in the case of light waves) that spreads out from a source and carries energy as it goes. Information, too, can be carried by waves; this is how sights and sounds reach us.

It takes almost 10 minutes to open,i cant read anything on the tool bar , desktop as they appear in small bits,the page has to be magnified to 200% to be visible and redeable.
-It tell me that the harddisk is full yet when i delete the files it recommends nothing changes.I thought for once that it was the screen that was at fault but when i connect to another monitor the same problem is there!its like everything has been congested together and looks very tiny in a funny way.
What the heck is going on here?

Dear Sir,
Driving (up a hill )difficulty

During traffic on a slope(your driving direction is upwards),the car has to be stopped using conventional brake (suppose hand brake is inoperative)and pessing the clutch without shuting down the engine as expecting green light to illuminate (your foot is removed from acceleration pedal) .
What to do according to your driving practice to push the car upwards( as the car goes downwards)?

1-To release clutch pedal partially,and at the same time release brake pedal to depress acceleration pedal strongly .
or
2-to press by one foot both acceeration lightly plus brake while releasing clutch partially then press that foot at acceleration pedal
or
3-to press the clutch and brake by one foot ,then release it while pressing acceleration with the other foot,

I am driving well on flat areas,but up a slope after parking is fearing me from hitting the rear cars,I wait for your answer anxiously,
Regards
